A simple plan to financial freedom: Step 1 - Bring value to society and get paid for it Step 2 - Save 10% or more of what you earn in #bitcoin that you hold in self custody (weekly dollar cost average is great) Step 3 - live a good life with the rest of what you earn Step 4 - watch your savings appreciate over many years until your bitcoin holdings grow in purchasing power every year more than you can possibly earn annually. Not financial advice. Just my personal experience.

“There's a new kind of money. It's only accepted in a handful of restaurants and retail shops. Amazon doesn't take it. And you definitely can't use it to pay your taxes. But this money that nobody accepts did 10 trillion dollars in transactions last year -- more than Visa. The value of this currency has appreciated more than any other asset class in 12 of the last 15 years. It's progression follows a power law, with close to 40% current compound growth. 100 million people worldwide are saving in it. That number is growing at the cube rate of time. Anywhere on the planet, you can exchange it for the local currency. Dollars, Euros, Yen or the Vanuatu Vatu. It's massively liquid, trading Billions of volume per day. So ignore it if you want, or try to be cute and time your purchases and sales. But recognize that it's here. And it's unique. It's #bitcoin.” - Fred Krueger

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

We in the West have allowed our culture to morally decline. As a result of our weakness, the West is under siege from tyrannical forces. We need to return to the Lord and ask for His grace and protection against the forces of evil. Help us Lord to stand up to the darkness.

“The government of a tyrant is maintained by fear alone.” - Thomas Aquinas

Bitcoin’s absolute scarcity is one of the key features that makes it the perfect money. That’s why I save in #bitcoin .

Bitcoin is virtuous money. #bitcoin #truth

Man seeks happiness but cannot find it in earthly things but rather in virtue.

O God, of Whom it cometh that the minds of thy faithful people be all of one will, grant unto the same thy people that they may love the thing which Thou commandest, and desire that which Thou dost promise, that so, amid the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.

“Among all earthly goods, the chief good is that men bear testimony to the virtue of a man.” - Aristotle

Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, descendant of King Louis XIV 🔥 "The destructive violence unleashed against our legacy and our history are part of the revolutionary and totalitarian process which resulted in the deaths of Louis XVI (the French sovereign who provided extraordinary assistance to the US) and tens of millions of other people. What this process is intended to achieve is to erase the past so that a "new man" may emerge. Humanity is not merely the sum of its biological components : it is also the recipient of what has been accomplished by previous generations and of our travels on a spiritual journey. We need our saints and heroes so that they may inspire us to lead authentically human existences. It cannot be in vain that the Fourth Commandment in the Decalogue asks us to honor our parents, respect what we have received from our forefathers and love our nation. This is why, in grateful prayer, I wish to include all of those who within families schools institutions of higher learning and elsewhere in our society work so hard to transmit the Western culture and civilization which takes their roots in our Greco-Roman and Christian heritage. Only irresponsible barbarians can have as an objective the rejection of this invaluable treasure which is so critical to the betterment of our humanity." #truth

Post from Phoenix Wallet on X on 4/26/24: “On May 3rd, 2024, @PhoenixWallet will be removed from US app stores. Users from the US should empty their wallet: - Settings > Close channels (Android) - Settings > Drain wallet (iOS) We highly recommend *not force-closing* channels, as on-chain fees could be significant.” #Bitcoin on!

I can’t stand the corruption of Western so called democracies. I love our history of rule of law based on Christian values. We have lost the north star. We need God We need #bitcoin

The story goes that the Rockefellers purposely positioned the statue of Atlas opposite Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York, symbolizing secular man's burden without divine assistance. In response, the Archbishop, likely Cardinal Hayes, erected a statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague, effortlessly holding the world, representing divine aid. (post and photo from Sachin Jose)

Privacy is normal and good. Privacy is not a crime. Criminalizing privacy in the name of protecting citizens from money laundering is not in the common good because it takes away a fundamental human right to privacy. Tyrannical governments behave this way. View quoted note →

St. Thomas Aquinas’ intuition is that there can never be a conflict between faith and reason, between religion and science. Truth is unified. I love this conclusion. #truth #faith #reason #religion #science
