 I’ve tried explaining this to my friends but I’m not THIS god at metaphors

 I’m so sick and tired of paying taxes to the parasites. I’ll keep paying them…. But I can’t wait for the day they actually have to be productive. 

#Bitcoin is gunpowder, it’s going to be a race to that end, and there’s nothing they can do but take part.

What kind of wild shit are you writing? 😱
 
 the ipad pro is a great laptop replacement if you bias to safari and web apps. 
 🤷‍♂️ my iPad is the same one Moses used for the commandments. It barely runs anything at all any more😅 
 I don’t think that’s categorically correct 🤔… let me look that up…

I just asked meta ai:

“What term describes the mental state opposite of “depression”?”

It said this:

“The mental state opposite of depression is often described as "euphoria" or "mania," but a more nuanced and sustainable opposite would be "flourishing" or "well-being."

Other antonyms of depression include:

1. Joy
2. Happiness
3. Optimism
4. Contentment
5. Satisfaction
6. Exhilaration
7. Elation

In psychological terms, the opposite of depression can be characterized by:

1. Positive affect
2. Resilience
3. Emotional stability
4. Self-esteem
5. Purpose

Mental health professionals often use the following terms to describe the opposite of depression:

1. Mental well-being
2. Emotional well-being
3. Psychological well-being
4. Flourishing (as per Seligman's PERMA model)

Keep in mind that mental health exists on a spectrum, and individuals may experience varying degrees of depression and its opposites.”



So…. Yea…. Ai os often just plain wrong, but I’m gonna stick with “joy” this time 
 There’s going to be a new colour at the next time interval for bitcoin maxis 
 Gm. 

I’ve been grinding hard to save all of it in bitcoin for a nice long while now, and in the 37 years before owning bitcoin, I’ve never felt this safe, secure and positive about the future ❤️

 I love this. We all go through the neck, even if we gotta go through kicking and screaming

 $10t goes into btc? We’re going to every moon in the solar system 
 I’ve been shotposting on fb about btc for years, and recently I’ve had several friends approach me in a short period of time. Feelsgoodman

 I regularly post bitcoin memes etc on fb for my normies to see and after showing my 69th bitcoin word (included in this post), I got a msg from a guy I haven’t seen in 20 years. 

I gave him a little 5 minute explanation and told him we can catch up, to which he gladly agreed. 

We can onboard them if we’re persistent enough 😎

 I loosely drew some trend lines in the months after FTX collapse

Just now I drew them for the last 7 months. 

Why do the resistance lines meet at 58k?

Will we ever be free of 58k?!

 My dad always says “from your mouth to God’s ears”

I have some serious stacking to do before Christmas, so, the lower - the better 😅 
 Steak pls, can I have it without the fries
It comes with fries
Yeah I don't want them, thanks
But... 
 They really don’t get it. They don’t get the food, they don’t get politics, they don’t get economics 🤷‍♂️

 What do you know that the rest of us don’t? 😅

You obviously think the world will continue to exist, but that we’ll want to have laser guns.

How worried should we be? 
 I was reading this on the train yesterday and he started talking about autism, which reminded me of a neighbour’s kid from a previous house I lived in. 

I drove to his house when I got back to my car and told him about it. There’s a clinic here in Melbourne Australia that could potentially help him. 

I think I’ll check back in with him next year.

 Hm. My Japanese has stalled out of laziness. Maybe this can get me back on track 🤔 
 GM. 

I’m about to go out there and earn some #bitcoin bound dirty fiat 😮‍💨

 
 I feel like my #bitcoin stacking journey will change next year. 

After this bull run I won’t be able to make a meaningful change to the size of my stack any longer; I’ve been stacking like a psychopath for 3 years now and I’m seeing diminishing growth.

It’s a bitter sweet feeling. On one hand, I will have finally “made it”, and on the other, I can’t be effective any longer no matter how hard I work 😮‍💨

OMG! YES! Might be time to lose my keys in a boating accident and start fresh!!!! 
 Yesterday I upgraded some old laptops and was reminded just how rough it was before SSDs. 
 I remember waiting a minute for photos to load one segment of a single line at a time 😅

They were the worst of times and they were the best of times 
 17 hoirs at work today 😮‍💨

I’m going to stack the absolute fuck out of some sats

 Awesome post. I’ve seen what fiat truly failing looks like in the 90s in Serbia, and I’m not going through that again. Exit their system 
 This October will be three years in #bitcoin for me… and, while it feels like an eternity, I just realised that I’m thinking of the next five years as “short-term” 
 I’m in a 2Pac mood tonight 🤷‍♂️

Thugs get lonely too 🎵 
 I find myself in the same situation. I get most of my science fiction from this brilliant guy on YouTube:

 There are so many indie-published novels with mediocre ratings on Goodreads and Amazon and such, ... 
 Same. I did finally decide to read the foundation series by asimov a year ago. Oh and contact by sagan. I get most of my science fiction from Isaac … something 😅 on YouTube. “SFIA”

Actually lemme find you a link

 I feel like I've been hit by 2 freight trains. I've been working too hard again 🤕

It'll be worth it when I get paid and buy sats...... 
 Hod damn it…. 5 years ago I was considering retiring…. Now I’m working as hard as ever again to stack sats….. 
 Hahahhahaha are you spying on me!? 
 You’ve got some kind of back door to reality?! 
 Gm

My wife is again becoming annoyed with how much of my income I’m putting into bitcoin. 

😎

Am i doing it right?  
 I’ve been watching this recent dip for days now, with -$22 in my account, waiting for customers to pay several overdue bills. Most of them just got paid within minutes of each other. Smash bought and am back down to almost $0 hahahahhaha

Who needs fiat and trinkets when #bitcoin is at basement bargain prices?!

 I love it. It’s not perfect but it feels a lot better anyway. I don’t feel like a farm animal here

 I’d that even a thing here? 😅 
 There is definitely less of it here, but i think that’s just because we’re too small and too educated for now for scammers to bother. They’ll come in the next few years with the common folk 😮‍💨

I suppose some kind of deposit would vastly reduce the likelihood of scammers being wide spread. I dunno. 

Maybe 69 sats per post to go towards something useful would kill spam 🤔 
 So your telling me that there is no algo... 
 About what to think! We’ll have to use our own brains to decide what we think about things!!!! The overlords won’t like this 😅

Take “your” Trudeau. Imagine if we don’t get force fed lgbtq stuff? That’ll upset him 🍻
