Bitcoin is rogue money for illicit activities

The true reason I left corporate America to bake baklava & clean toilets for Bitcoin was taxes. I don't talk about this often, but maybe I should. I felt sick looking at my paycheck and seeing taxes deducted. I was angry about all the endless wars waged by the US gov via fiat currency. I found happiness in a life earning much less, paying basically no taxes. I could be *much* wealthier today, but it would come at too great an expense. Anyone else relate to this autistic as fuck way of living?

I grew up with parents who grew up poor in Greece. In my mind, real wealth isn't owning expensive cars and big houses. Wealth is not needing to scrape every last bit out of the jar.

Had a BLAST in Nashville for #Nostrville at Bitcoin Park. Lots of fun hanging out with the plabs, and complaining about ostriches. Stay strong, fellow ravens and crows. πŸ˜‚πŸ€™

It's the 12-year anniversary of when I sold a pan of baklava to Roger Ver for 14 BTC. I barely remember my life before that. #Bitcoinβ€―β€―β€― changes everything. Everyone always asks if I HODLed those BTC. Of course not! It took a few months of earning and spending Bitcoin for me to see the value in holding. Then I worked towards earning 100% income in BTC. Fiat - just say no

I never want payment for the baklava I give out at conferences, but I couldn't stop a few of you who zapped me on Nostr. Well played! πŸ˜‚πŸ€™
