 Started reading @erikcason #cryptosovereignty. Felt the need to remove more of my economic power from the fiat system and buying some more corn, not buying half and seeing if the price drops, completely price agnostic, dollar value is a concept that is not long for this world, 1 Bitcoin = 1 #bitcoin guys. Read some Bitcoin and maybe think about writing a little Bitcoin as well. Ideas are powerful. https://image.nostr.build/cb1c9f5cdb668abdccb9e6c606088887be694a95ca77c6a859cd447b0ce9491b.jpg  
 I bought an appartment in 2015 worth 1100 #bitcoin. The average house will very soon be worth 1 B...

 Life is Good 
 Entering the final week of my wine countdown. NGL, pretty exited, so is the fam!!!! 
 Very happy either way. 
 Thank you @TheGuySwann and @Gigi  for this fantastic piece and rant. It is not my problem if my opinion is not to your liking, me expressing my opinion in itself should not be a crime, then the whole misgendering…… I tried if fix some work badges. https://fountain.fm/episode/iKJ9O0CtOyYmxt8yxom0 https://image.nostr.build/57920c341b0ee698f76e1b0ee341478b2fb1c5f9a442fc16cdd57b2f8aa548ba.jpg  
 Driving home from day in Wales doing landlord duties, but afternoon early spring sun and this comes on Spotify.
Singing so loudly my throat hurt!!! #grownostr #basketcase #greenday https://image.nostr.build/afb2815d69621ad04bcad258ab3e9f0ef133f204bfbc9b80ed4426e3f5250512.jpg  
 Larry Fink (2017): #bitcoin in an index of money launderers.

Today’s thought: #btc is an index of the conviction of every maxi who spent more than 10,000 hours researching the topic, and anyway, money launderers are also pretty resourceful. 
 🤩 GM!

 GM from beautiful Wales. Out with the mother’s #dogstr for some fresh air before a busy day dealing with the rental house. Have an awesome day, get after it, it isn’t going to get itself!!!! #coffeechain with a view https://image.nostr.build/8c25638cb8f21d18d113cb9e5255e0920b55cc27cfe43ae96bfa64981dbf5e8f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/c06fc8d34e14fb254e257da491022db05ca376658645559d080dcdf4b3311170.jpg https://image.nostr.build/13cd1e8a3f00c23fe6aa48279733cee9e8ba0ea5752056c65493bd81d29f6bf9.jpg  
 Gm Odie. 🙌 
 My brother and father both own #bitcoin, they may not quite be bitcoiners, but they made a start. Didn’t think my mother was quite so far along, but then said “socialists are just jealous”. Ah, yes, there may be a foundation to build upon https://image.nostr.build/af49e392b9d7266fd28f2a978e03a8b51b952891a0a1789034bcd7ada860fea9.jpg  
 GM nostriches. Great pod from WBD, big fan of Mark Moss and major signal, and appreciate @petermccormack ‘s view questioning him, but @AynRand’s “virtue of selfishness” makes more sense to me. People doing the mindless 9-5s aren’t selfish, they are rather a slave by not accepting they have agency in their own story. IMHO https://fountain.fm/episode/5YIUXWz1XkFuu7BE0sey 
 Hot take of the day: 🌶️
Everyone needs to experience a RUGGABLE moment. It makes it personal... 
 Canadian truckers when I realised that money on exchanges was not mine. I acted accordingly. 
 Loved this week’s rhr, Marty’s Mandibles “knowledgeable responses” will never fail to amuse me, “hmmm yeah, that is exactly like mandibles, I can really related to Lowell”. 🙌 
 $ell, €xit, ₿uy 
 £scape!

 Gm nostriches!!! Finally used Wasabi wallet to managed some funds from an exchange. Should have used earlier, SO straight forward. “Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy” Eric Hughes. We should not have to share our financial transactions with everyone or have limits placed on how much we can transact. #bitcoin #grownostr #maintainprivacy https://image.nostr.build/8ec3b0494823101b97f9e5331ab043ddf097c4e3317cd80d9f3e44cc7869fb91.jpg  
 Thank you for the ⚡️ , looks good so far. When uk removed btc ATMs, privacy enhancing technologies increased in value for me. Will let you know if I think of anything. 
 Oh, this is my new standard “baller(for me)” boost. 😘 
 How rich people get richer? They sell what morals they have left. 
 Gm nostriches, with a standard Thursday off, rolling into a 6 day weekend with a work closure on Tuesday. Hopefully be busy with a bit of British sun (no promises) but definitely lots of outside time with the fam. Make the most of your Oh so scarce and valuable time you bunch of legends, pretty sure we made it. #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/5788d115e25ce381042df45709e010b80c3408fcbfac0d2e66948cd128264cc6.jpg  
 Ever the optimist. But, no bad weather, only poor choices in clothing. 😘 
 I can neither confirm nor deny I had relations with your mother. 
 🙌 
 Happy Thursday Bru! 
 GOOD MORNING
last working day
before the long easter
weekend !!! 
 🙌 
 So, prepping a welcome back lecture for some students, now do I start with “this is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time” (fight club) or “what is real?” (Morpheus)? I’m at a cross roads of how dark I want to get. https://image.nostr.build/3c568c9930f1507b72e69bc1e0b23c5d52d498b878011d98c789e64f3a4b5b02.jpg  
 GM nostriches, @madex turned down a whole #bitcoin for a copy of some work he’d already sold. Think about this the next time you consider flipping a shitcoin or getting one over on someone, with the aim of increasing your stack. 

If we want Bitcoin to succeed, we need to be the person with integrity that we want to invite to our Bitcoin citadel who won’t report us of not taking the vaccine or running Bitcoin miners that have been outlawed. Thank you Madex, thank you Satoshi. https://image.nostr.build/d6338b7a512b7e14dccbafb18a15c59838c3dc48d1be43674b9342521b51174e.jpg

 My (tiny) 401K provider seems to have misplaced $50k I instructed then to send to Fidelity and Fi... 
 Custodian bastards!!!! When did they develop sufficient trust to be considered “trusted custodians” 
 Gm nostriches, hoped you all managed to bag some super cheap @MADEX sticker packs before they were snapped up yesterday. If not, go get some art from the legend, it is currently very underpriced. Note to self, don’t think about what the #bitcoin I spent in November is now worth (but then, that means the art is now worth more as a result?) #btctracingcard #genesispacks https://image.nostr.build/97f6f9f5e9bdb3adbfd84e9b1e2f269ad338be7fc04c3ff1349d67509ebd7193.jpg  
 FYI, if you “rebalance” your portfolio, you’re selling the winners to buy the losers, as well as giving some of your gains to the government. They want you to rebalance, it is a fiat mindset. Don’t sell your #bitcoin. Sell your losers, capture the losses for tax purposes, increase your Bitcoin exposure. Not rocket science. https://image.nostr.build/8105073251a2df22f6fc6a29469e5acdeacf907660c51859a0f136719c69e2a3.gif  
 Afternoon #runstr, haven’t see that shiny thing in the sky for a while. #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/b8569b3dc7b58b9945c1632f5ddc17267d561bfd9450754dd0166aec376ec0f6.jpg  
 Loved this, moving out of the academic’s scarily short runway hit hard. Be a famous “professor”, have to buying power in the real world. 
 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, CORRUPT POLITICIANS WILL ATTEMPT BITCOIN BANS, WE WILL MAKE THEM IRRELEVANT. ... 
 Good luck banning math, my ability to keep information in my head and my irresponsible sailing techniques. 
 It hasn’t yet come to the UK, but very worrying developments happening in the EU, illegal cash and payments from unhosted wallets and the need to kyc your whole stack if you want to spend it (I’m over simplifying). Making me feel I actually (not joking), need to have a boating accident related conversation with my accountant. If the government knows exactly what I have, with locations confirmed, they could get grabby. Not a conspiracy theorist, but the government is broke and coming sniffing is not something I’d put past them….. #bitcoin https://x.com/freddienew/status/1771492593676714091?s=46 https://image.nostr.build/1ee4d2aad24b68fc25284e0d957779c5fb7f7e6d8a4377a1a9db20ddfe5c755e.jpg  
 How to give the brexiteers something to say “I was right” about. Unfortunately the uk will probably follow them blindly! 
 Gm nostriches, been writing the beginning of a book (chapter 1 sort of done), sounds like fun until you realise, if anyone actually reads it, people in real life will be able to likely know which character they are….. also thinking that, if I manage to write the right book, people in real life will also realise quite how “utilitarian” and anti government I am, I really have no time for “social care”. Unsure if I ever say, “it’s fiction” they’ll believe me. Having said that, hopefully the #AynRandstrs will appreciate my point of view…… #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/53c91617f0a195211d61c1a43c3172afeed115f331724b22972c74c9a77be96a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/be872e8bf19d917c8d5c80be1543be43714546a2f1aee4ef80cde6c15512f8ec.jpg

 I think they know good and well what it is and they are scared. 
 “Don’t let them know there is an exit” 
 Gm nostriches!!!! For anyone from the UK, the fca and the uk government appear to be completely clueless if not completely blind to what #bitcoin is, if you haven’t already, would recommend following bitcoin policy uk and Freddie New, does some good podcasts as well. They have a Substack, some policy stuff to keep you informed, some research stuff. https://open.substack.com/pub/bitcoinpolicyuk?r=gnhl2&utm_medium=ios 
 Hey hey, someone else from the 90s, love the reference. Don’t worry maaaat, Tarquin went to the same school as me and played rugger, trust me bro, he’ll do what we told him to, just don’t ask him any questions.
