 Grabbing a bit of peace with the first #coffeechain in the morning sun, trying really hard not to face palm 🤦‍♂️ too often as I make my way through the latest @BitcoinMagazine issue…… if you take a steaming dump in the middle of the Sistine chapel that will be there forever, do you really want your name associated with the “freedom to poop where you want” crew. #bitcoin #moe #sov #uoa probably not poop storage device. https://image.nostr.build/f28e0dad78c05606855ef818cf0c28e8eed382eb1ae561282deafbcd97cfaa84.jpg  
 No one is bullish enough. 
 I’m trying 
 “I heard about a celebrity who lost $70 million in #bitcoin”

“Hmmm, so they lost control of their private keys? That’s the only way they “lost” fiat value in Bitcoin (see James Howells for wales). If they bought high and sold low, resulting is a loss of $70 million, they did not lose it in bitcoin, they lost it by buying high and selling low”

Thank you Satoshi. https://image.nostr.build/ebb6a3a77c5bf63f6ef54d110b94d38f55681f8c8b06e4556efeabf0ca7ad419.jpg  
 Turns out it wasn’t THAT mission we should have been focusing on. 
 Good morning.  
 🫡👌 
 Not feeling it for the fiat mine this morning:
1) Examining a thesis (personally fulfilling, but provided no time for it by work), student’s work isn’t great either
2) Dealing with a deputy manager putting more shit in my workload
3) making contact with students who don’t care and I’m supposed to nanny them through their project
4) 2) wants to give me an extra group of 3) so removing time from my family and my research through summer…

I’m actually being pushed towards selling less of my life to the fiat machine (ergo, going more part time than I already am)

Gm nostriches, have a fantastic Friday, looking like it’s going to be an awesome day…… #bikestr calling to me, #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/e6dc1377c17a307cec9a348613ab1f0ff7b1711b71dee572e7048934d4f027bc.jpg  
 What’s something you learned that completely changed how you saw everything?

I’ll start:
Whe... 
 Can’t outrun a bad diet. 
 People work hard the whole year and use that money for a 10 day holiday. Repeat until 70yo. And y... 
 🤦‍♂️ 
 Thinking about your work pension, you honestly think the money you are putting in wouldn’t be put to better work (while incurring less fees) than if you stopped paying into it and just bought #bitcoin? Honest question. I can’t move my pension, I’m just stopping paying into it. 
 Fair point, but Not selling anytime soon, and will ultimately be taxed on anything I get from the pension. 
 Time to cancel my work pension and redirect the money to a new ride through a “cycle to work” scheme. The pension will never be worth anything, anyway. Staying healthy and enjoying yourself is probably the better long term play. #bikestr https://image.nostr.build/5afdb728ffabd7ad5e5796a90fc55091cc5836417ddecf3ca3c6539fb196066c.jpg  
 Gm nostriches. Sitting out on a patio before the tribe descends from their beds and the manic morning begins. #catstr keeping an eye on me, birds singing in the background, good times. #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/4d42bf752484abacc9a9953ba0ccb9c456fc0bc39ca5f84cb6fd3f4ea5d1a041.jpg https://image.nostr.build/c1e8e0010327d51dff07755a5420365d4fafd6a421d82b414a449616627c3c83.jpg  
 Be humble. You could be wrong.
Be forgiving. You will also make mistakes.
Be honest. Character is...

 Looking an awful lot like laws in America, Marx should have added “the removal of private transactions” to the manifesto. 
 Was told I should have joined the union at work….. but then, if you need collective bargaining to win your battles, maybe you’re not good enough at your job! 

I don’t always see eye to eye with this colleague. https://image.nostr.build/5a46285f201f39ffecd4b03e7488c308d465ecf524b2f4ca7d84c41b0f151e8b.jpg  
 Sitting there like a psychopath, waiting patiently for other miners to shut up shop and turn off their machines so I can benefit can calculate at what hash price  my four miners will ever be enough to live off. #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/a586efc2b5130765806f08372406121ce75c450bdcd92cc26d5d8679bf6eef37.jpg  
 When does the bullrun truely arrive? A 10% daily green candle? The longest gap between 10% daily green candles was 347days ending on 18 July 2017, before that, 290 days on 03 November 2015. The last 10% day was 13 March 2023. Tick Tock. #bitcoin, 

I find it hard to believe that it will not happen again, market cap may have increased, but so has buying pressure. God and giga 🕯️are still in play. @Excellion https://image.nostr.build/05f089362e0807b933ece894300094d5478fc5540129046a236d88f41bfcebb9.jpg  
 I would rather be poor but standing on my feet, than rich and on my knees.

 Gave my cousin a tap signer and sent some sats……. He asked about the “slip” but then asked some more questions…… people may start coming around soon. Wifey on the other hand still laughs at the YouTube videos I watch. But then I watch Tyler s, so all comments are fair, “biggly up biggly down, time to bust like you’ve never busted before” 
 “Mutually agreed resignation schemes” rolling out to a higher learning institution near you. The times of easy money and easily filled masters course with overseas students has come to an end and they are running to get their house in order. If only they weren’t just completing a ridiculous ego project with money that could have been put into research or paying staff.
 
Question going to uni.
Learn #bitcoin instead.
Save in btc without getting into debt.
It is not difficult. https://image.nostr.build/9a940854ccb610ab62a1241c617ef1c99373ae0d4b6fa9a488b670983f051e09.jpg  
 #coffeechain OGs. “Good damn jimmy, that’s some serious gourmet shit” 
 Milei is my man!!!!! He’s probably having nothing to do with it, but all he has to do it no ban it and he can then even collect some taxes. I can’t believe more governments don’t see it. 
 HATERS GONNA HATE. 

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT. 
 And now those that used to not be haters are haters because they have been show to be wrong and/or misinformed, so have decided to join the army of closed minded, negative thinkers. Have fun staying annoyed. 
 Shadow: look what a good boy I am, aren’t I clever?
The dead bird: dick!!!! #catstr this would never have happened if I had been allowed to get a #dogstr!!!! https://image.nostr.build/d45e371b5f27c272e1e2274b4148dd754a3af722c0ea3305a45d080d14fc784d.jpg https://image.nostr.build/978183f8866c18a678431cf4515813360c73cb9213b4e084a898c375ef29ef61.jpg

 Gm nostriches, psyched to get into the fiat mine this morning, fiat duties may be put onto the back burner……. First need to do some fun #bitcoin graph making followed by adding a ridiculous analogy to a @BitcoinMagazine . Fun times. #grownostr #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/53de2983ea714f1f64321fdc4b83362a0fe0a5b691cabe98656d5ae55a2f20f9.jpg

 The special joy of being a Brit Bitcoiner. Day off work, playing outside in the warm May sun and can open the equities app to see that while I have fun my US miners and mstr are easily covering my wage….. for the month, maybe a little more 😘🤫 #bitcoin

 GM, the current empires are ending✌️

It's always darkest before dawn. 
 Feeling bright this morning, and thanks to you, quite secure. 🫡 
 Gm nostriches, for those enjoying a Monday off, happy May Day! For those who are not, learn something fun while crushing the fiat mindset. #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/d6517e190a908f06379616ec41a726763654b854ef3a3253158949de0cb0c731.jpg  
 Interesting article in #thetimes lifting the lid of what we’re sending our children to and likely saddling them with debt……. Stay frosty, don’t get drawn in…. Hannah Maruyama on Pomp.

 Left the thermos at home, so happy to have a spare #coffeechain equipment at work. Say no to short time preference instant coffee. #bitcoinbottle https://image.nostr.build/de70057b89d20de529385a60cfb6b0bcec8d93e48ade1e903d9524258ee41a27.jpg  
 I use mine most days, really like it, but was given a star presso a few years ago,makes an awesome shot and probably travelled as little better than the aero press.
