 YouTube/google is shadow banning the fuck out of the Rogan/Trump interview. 

Outright censorship from a supposedly “neutral” platform. 

So here’s the link 🔗 https://youtu.be/hBMoPUAeLnY?si=d15WNZNqx4Bp4_9p

Enjoy! 
 Yes it is moron. 
 Thank you for not being retarded like the retard above.

 That’s a man right there 
 When I was younger I thought “wow if everyone believes that it must be true” 

Now that I’m older I think “if everyone believes that it must be wrong” 
 I used to think this his way, until I realized that historically it’s accurate to say most of our widely held beliefs will be disproven over time. So no both heuristics are not equally wrong, that’s a midwit position. 
 Stores of value in the fiat era

1970’s: Gold 
1980’s & 1990’s: Bonds 
2000’s & 2010’s: Equities
2020’s - 2060’s: Bitcoin 
 End the fiat era, enter the bitcoin era 
 I do 
 Until Bitcoin has leveled out and is equal to global gdp? Yeah I think so. 
 Many men who do great things do not live to see them come to fruition. 

George Washington never saw America become the number one country on earth. 

Van goh never saw starry night sky become the most valuable painting in the world. 

Turing never lived to see artificial intelligence pass his test.

 A lot of people are afraid to use freedom tech because they think will make them outlaws, and the... 
 For me it’s a compulsion. I simply can’t help myself. Also as an American I would frankly love for someone to violate my first amendment rights. My father was a first amendment attorney and I grew up having arguments about free speech around the dinner table. So I’ve been waiting my whole life for a motherfucker to try lol 😂 
 Just take an online myers Briggs test 
 Most science is a bunch of quackery 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 For a real personality assessment I’d use the big five, but myers Briggs has some use in large group settings I’ve found. 
 I’m not sure what my wife is. I’ll have her take the test. 
 Bro gentle parenting is so cringe lol 

I’m listening to a mother have a struggle session with her unruly toddler, sometimes you just gotta pick these kids up and be like cut the shit. 
 That’s not what it means at all G. 

Hitting children has been out of fashion for 40 years, gentle parenting in practice is an overly permissive or “soft” parenting style that avoids discipline or accountability, letting kids dictate family dynamics. 

It’s an inherently feminine framework that overemphasizes feelings and often results in kids who struggle with boundaries or who feel overly entitled. 

Gentle parenting is less as “nurturing” and more “avoiding conflict”, making the parent more of a “friend” than a figure who sets firm limits. 
 Same lol we are loving parents but we don’t tolerate bullshit. 
 Exactly 
 Most gentle parenting is permissive parenting in my experience, no practical difference. 
 lol no dick, bad dick 
 Actually it is a great film lol one of my favorites. 
 This is one of my favorite movies ever. Top 3. 
 This isn’t a preference thing. Armageddon is a legitimately great movie. They even added it to the criterion collection. Its film grammer and kinetic camera movement set the stage for all modern movies following it. 
 Time for The Departed 🍿 
 Classic 
 It’s really dead simple when you think about it in these terms. MSTR is outperforming because they buy and hold the Bitcoin whereas the other two entities sell it. https://image.nostr.build/2033d70e1b68eed46628605857ba082e4f4c561cfa6e6cb88505c746d1a9b7f7.jpg  
 It’s on my list 
 All miners sell bitcoin to one degree or another. They have to cover their opex 
 I’m not that familiar with Mara’s financials in particular, but the point stands that miners sell. Mara will likely sell again in the future at some point. 
 “The burden of your own destiny weigh far heavier than those of another’s control.” 
 Don’t tell yourself you have to do something, or that you should be doing something.

Because then when you aren’t you will feel negative and give up. 

Tell yourself instead…

My preference is _________ and when I do ________ I feel better.

“My preference is to sleep 8 hours and when I do I feel better, but if I don’t I’ll be fine too.”

“My preference is to eat less and when I do I feel better, but my freind is in town and they want to go out.”

This helps you reframe away from black and white thinking and shift more into preference and acceptance.

Humans are imperfectly made, give yourself wiggle room to do the right thing most of the time but never all of the time. 
 Stupid people should think more. 

Smart people should think less. 
 The perfect morning.

 All day long friend lol 
 This is a sig p365 from 15 yards 
 I’m off the bean juice. No caffeine for me. 
 My problem with caffeine is that I quickly get addicted and start drinking an unhealthy amount 
 I have the xmacro and I love it. It’s my edc 
 Hahaha just wake up and rage out lol 
 Highly recommend 
 lol facts 
 lol so good 
 9:30 - 10:00 
 Splatterburst are the best 
 7-8 hours 
 The perfect day 
 The correct answer is just to buy them all lol 😂 
 Wherever is cheapest 
 I don’t have any one place I get it from. Kinda just get it wherever. Local shop. Different sites etc… 
 You will find joy when you embrace pain. 

You will find love when you embrace rejection. 

You will find success when you embrace failure. 

To get to the good stuff, you gotta go through the hard stuff. 
 What does the best version of yourself look like? 
 There have been many many times in life where I simply wasn’t feeling it.

Where I didn’t feel like honoring my commitments to others or to myself. 

I simply just showed up and did shit anyway. 

I did things I didn’t want to do. At times I didn’t want to do them. For small amounts of money. 

I did things that were painful or difficult or unpleasant and I did them without complaint. 

I did these things because I knew they were necessary to get the results I was after. 

Most people are not willing to do hard things and so most people get the same results. 
 It’s basic, but you’d be surprised how few people willingly submit to hard/uncomfortable things. 
 Mute list is growing, I ain't here to argue with the haters 

Good vibes and freedom tech only 🫡 
 Samesies 
 I will forever be proud of the fact that I shilled you the mandibles lol 😂 
 About the Saylor comments. 

Self custody vs custody is a bad framing.

The way we currently do self custody is unworkable for public sums of money. 

Like many things in bitcoin further decentralization is the answer. 

In a fee years big money will be using insured multi-institutional, multisig coordination with hierarchical key control. This will mean no one institution or individual has full custody.  Todays custodians will be tomorrows coordinators or key holders. 

That’s the future we’re heading into. 

Collaborative custody solutions as the standard. 
 I’m available for 6.15 bitcoin per year 
 I think once the majority of bitcoiners understand the hierarchical key control we have in miniscript that will change and this emerging multi country multi institutional multisig collaborative model will be more widely accepted. 

That said you always have the right to be a total lone wolf in bitcoin and diy your entire setup from scratch. 

The thing I’m describing is still self custody. But a unique form of it novel only to Bitcoin. 
 Well you hold the 2 in a 2 of 3 so they can only ransom max one key. Not a very effective ransom I would say. 
 😂 
 Nothing like I’m describing currently exists but will soon 
 That’s one of them. There are a few others launching around the same timeframe. Full disclosure I’m an investor in trident. 
 Miniscript is already live in production. So we have these abilities today. They just aren’t in widespread use yet. 

Think a multisig that can degrade down to a single sig over time if certain conditions aren’t meant. 

Making one key holder the primary key holder or “master” key holder. 
 They are doing a version of this also 
 Me too. I think this is the way forward for big money and shared pools of bitcoin. 
 Timelocks help with this 
 Imo different audiences, but I don’t speak for the founders. I think unchained and casa will also utilize some of these newer bitcoin technologies going forward. 
 And you belive you will change that. By vote.

Ok. I rather die in battle. I'm prepared.

nostr:n... 
 Ok have fun with that 
 I have a reaffirmed belief in god, but I still struggle with modern woke  Christianity. 
 Wokeness has infected many churches. Probably because wokeness is similar to Christianity just without any of the redemption or forgiveness or tradition etc… you know all the things that make Christianity a fundamentally good thing. 
 That’s a good thing. It sounds like you’re in a good community. 
 An easy way for someone to foment societal chaos in the US after a Trump loss is to bet heavily f... 
 How so? I don’t see the connection. 
 “I’m not political” 

“Voting is a scam” 

Allow me to be blunt here. 

This most recent ECB paper made clear something many of us have known for awhile. 

When the price of Bitcoin goes up regular people are going to want to kill you. The state is also going to want to kill you. They will be deeply aligned on the solution to their problem being, murdering you. 

Don’t say it won’t happen. It has happened in every society on earth. It will happen. 

You’re not political? Grow up Peter Pan, count chocula it’s not Halloween. Be serious. This is big boy shit. 

The state is a weapon. 

People are going to want to wield it against you. 

What’re you gonna do about that? 

“I’m not political” 

Yeah well I am.

I have to be. 

I want the world to reflect my values and respect my right to life liberty and property. 

We have to protect ourselves from what’s coming. 

And believe me when I say… it is definitely coming. 
 We have to be adults and build bridges 
 Google Russian kulaks. We are the new kulaks. 
 I’m voting for Donald Trump. 

When Ross is released from prison and stands on stage at the bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, I want to say I played a small part in creating that moment. 

If you don’t want to be a part of that fine, but don’t cheer with us as we celebrate. 

You did nothing to facilitate his freedom. 
 No it’s not true. Also the agents on the case were corrupt and ended up doing time themselves
