I barely use sats, but I will *never* use bits. I still prefer "bitcoin" & "bitcoins" as my units of measurement.

I felt better in my 30s than I did in my 20s I feel better in my 40s than I did in my 30s I'm going to feel better in my 50s than I felt in my 40s Feeling old is a state of mind

The hardest project you will ever work on is yourself.

Purchasing a standing desk treadmill a year ago was a huge game changer. I no longer sit for more than 1-2 hours at a time. My mobility, stamina, and overall well being has improved because of that. 20k+ steps per day seemed daunting. Now it's just normal, although a bit tiring on leg day. 😂 It isn't a replacement for going outside, but it's nice when you need to be on your computer.

One of the most critical parts of Bitcoin cold storage is firearms and firearm training. Ignore this at your own peril.

I still like Twitter

It's probably not a coincidence that, prior to 1913 when the US Federal Reserve was founded, Olympic gold medals were made of solid gold. They've been gold-plated silver since then.

It took going to the conference in Nashville, but my daughters are officially dip buyers. Yesterday they both put a decent chunk of their cash savings from work into Bitcoin. Meeting people, and seeing the things I've been going on about for 10+ years, really helped them understand the importance of Bitcoin. I'm glad I never pushed them too hard. Bitcoin is complicated and it can take time to click. That's ok! They're young and I'm already stacking for them. 😄 At some point our children will need to understand. That's the reality all of us as parents face. Don't force it. Give it time. Be the example they need. 🧡

If you think hardware wallets are bad, then you should have seen web wallet support tickets back before hardware wallets existed.

The #Bitcoin market continues to reject Creed's Higher as its anthem.

If a state agent invented Bitcoin, then it wasn't something he was ordered to do. It was an act of defiance.

Let's talk drugs! I've heard a lot of mixed takes on marijuana and psilocybin, and wanted to share my own recent experiences. 😄 I never touched any drugs, besides alcohol/caffeine/sugar, until my 40s. I prefer to not be impaired or dependent, which is why I quit alcohol and caffeine a few years ago. Now that my kids are living on their own, and I'm retired, I find myself wanting to experience more things in life. So I decided to try THC & psilocybin. I can see why people are split on weed. Productivity can go way up or down, depending on the person, the mood, etc. I find it to be fun, but definitely not something I want to partake in regularly. I get way too retarded! 😂 I won't smoke or vape, so I stick with a tiny dose from a tincture. The high can last 6-8 hours in my system, which is a very long time for a small dose. Not something I want to deal with on the regular. I'm very logical, almost to a fault. Psychedelics never sounded like a good idea, but I decided to try psilocybin recently. I was anxious about what would happen, but I put some music on, closed my eyes, and relaxed.🎶 With psilocybin, I feel like I'm tapping into a part of my brain that I rarely use. My logical thought process is still present, but my creative side takes control. I get deeply introspective. I start writing a lot. I'm already a huge music lover, but my appreciation for it reached new heights. I experience seeing the sounds. I can fully appreciate the space between chaos and order where music lives. The more instruments the better, which is why I find orchestra music to be the absolute best with psilocybin. It's an incredible experience that I walk away from knowing myself a little better. The writing is my favorite part, as I'm able to go back and reflect on my thoughts during the experience. To my surprise, it isn't a rambling mess! It's thoughtful, emotional, and honest. I'll even share with others who I directly write about. It's an extremely therapeutic process. Again, I'm glad I never tried any of these mind altering substances until later in life. Being a fully developed human, and having a better understanding of myself, helps make these experiences stable and beneficial. In my youth, when my self control was worse, I could have ended up going down a dark path if I tried drugs. I'd likely be a very different person today. I will always prefer to remain sober the overwhelming majority of the time, but I can see the pros & cons of altering your mind. Under the right circumstances, of course! 😄👍
