Absolutely love these guys @HODL @Erik Cason @Marty Bent @Danny Knowles , the gulags will be full, either due to the commies (progressives) or the fascists (who are likely not actually real fascists, just people the progressives don’t like, and they question what the words they were told to say actually meant). And we get back to the shawshank redemption @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M I’ll be with these guys, questioning everything they say, realising neither side has it right, both sides are promising free shit paid for by inflation, supporting, but not necessarily joining any”orange party”, but saving in hard money, defunding the federal reserve (or central bank of choice), interacting with people I like, who add value to my life and exchanging my hard currency with them for goods and services. I won’t be drawn into this political bum fight, race to the bottom, as which ever way they take it, it gets damn ugly. What I will say when communism is being presented as “democratic socialism”, the ussr was a socialist republic, and they killed more of “their own” than both world wars combined. I’ll also ask, if you’re living in this socialist utopia, lying in bed, taxing the rich, producing no CO2 (because you loves the greens), who picks up the bills, who grows the food, who pays for the free shit they promise. Yeah, starting with taxing the billionaires seemed ok, but they already pay their fair share, so once they’re bled, the greedy little eyes will move to the millionaires (which doesn’t mean what it once did), and after them, anyone with ANYTHING!!! Oh yeah buddy, it ain’t free and never was, the bills always come due, you brain washed cuck!

Gm nostriches, pinch punch, first of the month, moonvember is here, but like Uptober, focus on your craft mooning, your stack mooning, your freedom mooning, your not giving a shit mooning, fiat denominations are just the fiat mind distracting you from the mission. 10k run done, @RabbitHoleRecap being a fine soundtrack, cheers boys. #theweek sending bad shivers down my spine, the uk no longer making stuff, no longer employing people that make stuff, no longer having people that finish the week proud they’ve made stuff. Instead choosing the monotonous grind of never ending admin that will on day be taken by AI. More chilling still was the rise in drug deaths in the UK, not the children with no future but people in their fourties’, like myself!!!!, seeking a few hours of escapism away from their never ending grind, no partner, no house, no children, no hope, and it going wrong? I just want to hug them, shake them, I’m not quite sure, but try and help them realise it may not be them, but the money their using to try and save and how #bitcoin could help them along the way. Dark times freaks, big up yourselves, some times no one else will. Hey @primal it’s not letting me post pictures to back up my comments.

Happy Halloween freaks, fam have headed out on the hunt, I’m left to welcomes the ‘treater’, wondering whether to celebrate by cracking a pack of BBB @Based Trading Cards to see what treat awaits me. Also wondering whether to offer the older trick or treaters a shot of scotch!?!? image

Uptober is and was never about fiat denomination. Uptober is about Bitcoin stack go up, conviction go up, freedom go up, Bitcoin stoke go up. When viewed from this perspective, so bullish for the end of the year when some Normies can feel what I’m feeling now. image

5 years since my grandfather passed, sharing his exit point with both Sean Connery and Bitcoin white paper day, going out with company and style consistent with the rest of his life. Reading the note sent to my mother from his palates teacher (he was 99 when he died), gives me a serious target to aim for, even when you’re old, frail and in his case, blind with a bit of dementia, still in good humour, building is “muscular strength”.

Gm nostriches, 17 years ago today Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin white paper to the cypherpunk mailing list. He/they (plural not gender none specific) had likely been working on this idea for years, building his own “proof of work chain” so that when anyone read the work, they weren’t able to just disregard it due to some fundamental flaw or oversight. He/they, at great personal risk then began running the software protocol, allowing others to do the same, and interacting with others in a clear, courteous manner for the next few years. I’d hazard a guess that most nostriches here have a good deal more personal freedom, intellectual confidence and maybe even sunned balls than they would have without both the tireless work and later sacrifice of Satoshi made. So not in some type of religious way, but in a broader, raising up our heroes kind of way, take a moment out of today, work out the next piece of work you could be delivering to the world, give yourself a target to get it done by and then get at it. Not in the name of personal glory (although I’m a massive egoist and all about the selfish action), but to know deep within yourself that you’ve achieved something and benefited those important to you (family, friends, and I consider you all part of both groups). So, happy white paper day, don’t simply post a picture of the paper (although cheers @FLASH for the reminder this morning), take some time, be reflective on how far you have come and how much farther you can go, if you do the work. It isn’t only about lambos and second girlfriends any more…….. the prize is getting much greater everyday, but there will only be a Utopia if we build it. Peace. ☮️ #catstr unfussed about a “peer to peer electronic cash system”, but everyone should be. #bitcoin #grownostr #coffeechain 2nd cup time.

Ga nostriches, cheers @BTC Sessions, what an awesome team, @Max @npub1mtqa...q4xu (get on nostr more) and @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M . Love the freedom talk within the world of increasing madness, and never a time when a shawshank reference missed the mark. Sitting with my growing stack, the teaspoon dca gradually digging away through to tunnel of shit towards freedom. - Also loved the reference to THEM not being able to afford putting us all in the gulags for speaking our minds, so shameless plug to my scrawling…… How I see myself, listening to my #40hpw in the physical gulag, but in my mention palace of freedom.

Absolutely love reading normie media, with the “generation rent” author Vicky Spratt lording over the asset holders with their wealth being unfairly accumulated at the expense of the renters, becoming “incredibly rich”. They are planning on stealing the paper value of houses that have gone up in value as a result of money printing, to pay for the wealth fare of “generation rent” but also “generation benefits”. If any of this goes ahead it is going to get wild, people will be either taking on loans to pay these taxes or ditching their expensive houses for ones that fall below the threshold (meaning their prices will rise). Real real issues with these holier than thoughtfully journalists gaslighting the ill informed, and the political class threatening everyone else. Scary times in the Uk, I for one, not too worried, will ditch my house no problems, if only I was able to keep it and rent it out, but Labour have already taken out that option. image

Gm nostriches. #coffeechain and hydration locked in. While doing the fiat slop thing on LinkedIn yesterday found something that just made sense in relation to BTCTC. Who benefits from them, who are the biggest share holders? So, utxo management is one (oh Bitcoin magazine, you’re not doing well in my eyes this week), the other, the founder’s family. While I appreciate they have placed buys, I would think most of the 9% holdings were printed, with any share price increase resulting for the retail pump that took place earlier in the year. I didn’t buy at a peak, I just put a little in to support the process of a British mstr, but 77% down is offensive. Who benefits? Those closest to the money printer, and for completeness, they are also the ones with any access to those sweet sweet coins they purchased with YOUR money. But at least I can bank the tax loss…… I’m much more interested in this companies that have a value adding business and simply choose to save in bitcoin…… stop re purposing the world best asset for your fiat mind games.
