The crypto industry after regulatory clarity:

Does one need to prefix GM to every post on Nostr to get any traction? As a small account it often feels like I’m mumbling into the void, unless it’s a GM post.

Matthew Piepenburg, partner at Von Greyerz/Gold Switzerland says that gold held in a jurisdiction that you “trust” is the most free asset that you can hold. What happens when that jurisdiction becomes not worthy of your trust?

If you want to create art, don’t accept government “artist” grants. You’re either creating something so mundane that it’s non-threatening to the state, or you’re creating something in service of the state. I’m Canadian so this is basically our entire music, art, and film scene. I have friends in these industries and they would probably take offence to this statement. But they aren’t on Nostr so I don’t have to get in retarded arguments today, thankfully.

Is it just me, or are ya’ll constantly reminded that the same people have followed you on @primal?

Something I think about often is the spectrum on which horror and awe sit. Over the past decade I’ve been building a life that I cherish. I’m in awe of how much beauty you can create in your life when care is taken to develop it. On the flip side of that, now that I have a life worth living, I have something to lose. The thought of that can invoke a sense of horror. Both awe and horror can open us up to the world. I try to balance them both. When my life inspires awe, I try to savour it in that moment. When the thought of losing it inspires horror, I meditate on how much it means to me to be here. It makes me kinder in that moment. I wish I could say I was perfectly kind all the time, but I need to remind myself to be. It all comes down to what we already know, but need to be constantly reminded of. We only have this moment. Keep building for the future, but always stop to recognize what you’ve already built.

I have a number of friends who “get it” in the sense that they understand money printing and the corruption of government, but they still don’t own any bitcoin. It’s perplexing to me.

Given the recent drama with CAD getting rekt, I decided to send a Hail Mary orange pill message to a Canadian group chat im in. I’m the resident maxi/conspiracy theorist in the group. Nobody replied in the chat. But I got one lonely DM from one of the dudes and he said he’s gonna start stacking $100 worth a week. Success.
