 My condolences to the single-issue Bitcoiners who supported a presidential candidate who's now of... 
 My take is to quit looking for someone to “save you” or “save us”. 
It’s the anti thesis to self sovereignty. The opposite of everything Bitcoin stands for.  Full stop. 
 This is my crew. 🏴‍☠️ 
100 percent. 
And I wouldn’t trade them for ANYTHING!!! 🥰

 Careful Lauren. 
Big fan of your content. 💓
But you are at risk of falling down a FUD wormhole here. 

You are projecting a “i see all the pieces of the puzzle and you don’t” vibe. 

Just be careful. That’s all. 👁️🪬 
 The EO 6102 one….

Its potential is massively over-hyped IMO. At least in the near and intermediate term. 

And even if such a catastrophic rug pull were to happen, it doesn’t matter to the integrity of the protocol, which is ALL that really matters in the end, from my perspective. 

A 6102 type confiscation in today’s world where just about every asset is held digitally means that ALL financial assets (stocks, bonds, CDs, etc) could be confiscated in the same manor. In an instant. Such an action would end the modern GLOBAL monetary system in a day/week. Defeating the purpose of such action in the first place. (Presumably, the continuity of the existing FIAT system and its self appointed Overlords masters) 

Full disclosure, I generate my own keys and self custody my hodlings to the best of my knowledge and ability (as well as advise and teach others to do the same)

I sent that note to Lauren, because the spirit and vibe of her recent rant of posts on MSTR struck me as very out of synch with the vast majority of her beautifully inspiring posts on all things spiritual. 🪬
(Infinite love, compassion and understanding, et al) 

I’ve learned the hard way over and over in my 6 decades during this incarnation that if something really triggers me, it’s ALWAYS a reflection of something of similar vibration hiding in my shadow. 

I mean no ill will. Otherwise I wouldn’t take the time to write this. 

Peace and love to you, brother/sister
🙏🏻💓😌 
 Just sent longer response to Buddha on his question. 

I was only trying to share that your string of posts on MsTR, et al seemed (to me) to carry a heavy judgement vibe. Very uncharacteristic for you from my reading and enjoyment of your content. 

Didn’t mean to ruffle feathers. 

Peace 🙏🏻 
 Agreed….and yet, understanding Bitcoin is similar to meditation 🧘‍♂️….
One must come to it on their own. No one can do it for them. 

A true paradox, Buddha. 😌 
 Beautiful affirmation, Erik. I couldn’t agree more. 🙏🏻😌

 Is hyperbitcoinization the same as a #Bitcoin circular economy? 
 Quite the opposite. They are both inevitable. 👁️ 
 Beautifully said and on point Brother

I’ve lived in both and Zurich is a FAR better experience. From every perspective.

 Classic Stockholm Syndrome….

Many many will feel this way as Bitcoin gains further adoption and “disrupts” the State’s monopoly on money. 

Stems from a toxic combination of fear and ignorance.

There is something so existentially rewarding about teaching the next generation the skills necessary to climb and stay safe in the mountains. 🧗😌

This train has been unstoppable for well over a decade now. It’s just that nearly ALL can see it now. And those that can’t yet, will soon. 😉

It’s amazing to me how many super intelligent “bitcoiners” still can’t see this reality. 

There is ZERO overlap between the emerging Bitcoin Ecosystem and the currently collapsing nation state.

 Smoking DMT is not for the faint of heart. No doubt 😳

Far more beneficial and manageable (albeit confronting) to ingest as Ayahuasca. Then you have 4-12 hours to work with the insights of the medicine. 🪬

Sauna people and hot tub people.
