If you’ve been living inauthentically for awhile you might notice that the lies and half truths you’ve told pile up like logs around you.
At first it’s no big deal because you can simply step right over the logs and continue to move freely, but eventually there are so many that you can’t maneuver around them any longer.
You are trapped, isolated and alone.
When you find yourself in a situation like this, there’s only one thing to do.
Set it on fire and let it burn down around you.
It’s going to be extremely painful, but in the end you’ll be free.
Godspeed. https://image.nostr.build/aa3d111de2b5f690502d70d0cccd66679d4bd589aad389480ec76d6830c428c5.jpg
What I’m trying to say to you is this, eventually the pain and sacrifice transform into fond memories and funny stories you tell at parties.
Whatever it is you want.
Just fucking go for it.
It feels weird to be proud of a billionaire, but in bitcoin terms I’m a big bro to Michael.
This is a powerfully redemptive moment for him. His Hodl journey has been very public and just as emotive and full of turmoil as the rest of us.
Michael was peers with bezos. He was one of the longest reigning tech ceos from the dot com bubble onwards. Except unlike bezos he was overlooked, his company left to chug along for decades. Neither taking over the world, nor exploding in infamy. Just a solid company that existed in relative obscurity to most of the population. It must have bothered Michael somewhat. Because you can tell that he is just as smart and calculating as his famous peers who’ve gotten all the headlines over the last 25 years. To them he’s like the rest of us Bitcoiner’s. A bit of a misfit. Someone who fell through the cracks.
After years of patience he can now confidently sit in the CNBC studio and declare to the talking heads and the world direct to their faces. “Yes I was right. Yes I am beating all of you”.
That’s the redemptive power of bitcoin. Whether you’re a billionaire or a pleb. You have the ability to reset your world and take your rightful place at the table.
In many ways large and small bitcoin is about renegotiating your place in the world.

Ethereum is the next global reserve currency.
Eating meat is bad for your health.
It’s ok to let other men fuck your girlfriend, in fact it means you are very secure in your masculinity.
Communism is morally superior to capitalism.
Cricket protein powder is good for you.
All cultures are equal.
The government isn’t perfect but it’s a net positive.

Something libertarians are clueless about.
Free speech is the most important part of a free market.
Just because I don’t believe a state authority should have the ability to threaten you does not mean I have to like or condone your behavior.
If you see something you don’t like say it and say it loudly.
Free speech is the lubricant that keeps markets free and functional.
Turns out I was mistaken and nos.lol is not associated with the commies over @ nos.social
Not malicious.
Nos.social however is a malicious client run by extreme leftist ideologues. Avoid at all costs.

“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association, movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.
Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.
I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.
This really happened. And it revealed everything.
In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”
