GM 5 Matthew 33-34 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne" The New Testament read by Johnny Cash is 🔥🔥

A day in the life of a Hotelier... Managing egos of grown men is wild. Saw two cry today both over fiat rot. Then I had to negotiate my way out of a jam with two large customers contracted in the same space at the same time tomorrow 😬 One groups contract was valued at 1.5M and awesome legal terms for the hotel (I wrote & negotiated the contract 😎) Another groups contracts value is $700k and shit terms/legal language. Technically we were in breach of their contract. Had to figure out a way to make my customer feel good about giving me meeting space back that their C-Suite was in and not give away the house. They said their minimum to consider asking the VIPs to move out was $45k.... Got hairy for a minute throughout the conversations. Got them to feel good about $10k credit, 2 bottles of scotch, and a bottle of red wine. They may rebook for 2028 after the negotiations.

GM 2 Fun Facts 1 - Codex Giga also known as "Devil's Bible" is the world largest surviving manuscript. It has been verified through analysis that it was all written by the same person....would have taken 40 years to accomplish writing this, 10-15 years to master calligraphy, and zero degradation to the writing which is wild considering the average lifespan of that time was 38 years. 2 - OpenAI released released Codex in June last year. Per their release its primary goal is to align outputs closely with human coding preferences and standards. We must believe the demons when they tell us what they are doing cc @MartyBent

Fat Ribeye before a fast to start Lent, and pray for a friend who is battling the shit out of stage 4 lung cancer. Had to go stainless steel since my wife was making homemade tortillas in the cast iron for the kiddos for Taco Tuesday Cast iron maxi here, but appreciate my wife always looking out for our family so I made a sacrifice 🫡🫡

GM Helped my son build his first robot 🤖 this morning. Since he was 5 he has been telling me all the things his robots are going to be able to do in the future. For the longest time I thought he was wildly imaginative, and now I know that I was put on this earth to help guide him through the malaise My favorite thing he is going to build besides a Time Machine is his open body ray that will eliminate the need for surgery and fix any organs that need healing ❤️‍🩹

Couple of FL grassfed strips for my Valentine and me. She is everything I could have ever hoped for in a wife and mother. Blessed

GM Meeting in person with like minded men is a life hack. Here are some interesting topics we discussed as a group this morning about our walk with Christ

GM I didn't realize the true grit to HODL until this past month. Several people who I helped start their Bitcoin journey have come close to capitulating or they did let the banks win. Bitcoiner's are a special breed helping shape the future. Grateful for Nostr to connect with so many builders 🤝🫡

One of my favorite parts of RHR is shoutouts. Always enjoy when Marty and Matt shout out themselves. This note was inspired by that. Shout out me for finding a based and badass wife and mom to our kiddos. She consistently impresses me with her skills and kindness. She went out of her way to make her own Valentines chocolates because almost everything she could find online or locally that I could buy her was fiat trash. V1 of Raspberry salted caramel dark chocolate's (she pressed the organic raspberries yesterday to make the specialty caramel)

GM Read this prayer with my Daughter last night. Really hit home 🙏🙏🙏

For the parents on Nostr... This stuff is legit. My son starting getting ear infections a several years ago when he would get a cold. For the last 3 flair ups we used this to eliminate need for antibiotics. Saturday he complained his ear was hurting. Spiked a fever 20 minutes later after first use of this. Fever broke about 2 hours later and never came back. Used daily since and he is doing great.

Preparedness Ready for the next bull 🐂 to run

The normalization of the digital panopticon is on overdrive this year. The digital overlords are racing to brag about their surveillance and people paying for that convenience. Alexa can go fuck herself

My 401k at work allows me to self direct 50% of the value into Bitcoin ETFs (I only contribute what the company will match) I used to get pissed that they would only let me contribute half into Bitcoin vehicles, but now I always have an avenue to buy the dip. I've added Bitcoin the entire way down from $126k because Bitcoin is my denominator. My bi-weekly buys from Strike are my stack to cold storage. I worry about those who need their Bitcoin for day to day living, but I am insanely grateful for the dips to add to my personal stack since I'm still slaving away at the fiat mines. Always find a way to turn a negative into a positive
