Ge nostriches, awesome day in London, full family, aunts, cousins, bro and his fam and a whole lot of others. Have gifted each of my cousins some sats with tapsigner (cheers @Coinkite) and they appear to be holding, even if one cousin told be about his trading of shit coins (wife was pretty annoyed to hear that!!!) Have attempted to clear their minds slightly with some discussion on “the price is not down, the dollar 💵 is simply volatile”, but also passed over some @Based Trading Cards genesis packs for them to have some fun with. Also promised them all a few books for them to further immerse themselves into the Bitcoin world. Watch this space, they could be bitcoiners one day and I may have actually helped orange pilled someone!!!! Ice cream dessert was 😘👌 image

Gm nostriches, happy Saturday freaks, enjoying a slow morning for heading to London for the day, #catsr keeping me company with a #coffeechain along side some #meditations #bitcoinisvenice. @allen you and sash are too clever for me, but I’m gonna finish it!!!!! Environmentalist argument was 😘👌 Hmmm, let’s just check the bbc, great, “we will stop the right to protest”, but just for reasons we think are appropriate……… nothing like living in a full authoritarian state. Hmmm, rather than locking down the country with 300 more bobbies in London, how’s about keeping the clinically insane locked up? Just a thought. The list of clinicians who are letting these knife wielding maniacs out is going, maybe their check list for “care in the community” candidates needs to be reviewed.

Gm nostriches, penultimate sessions with the honest fresh faces, well only a year into their indoctrination, first years today. Supposed to be covering stuff related to their assignment, base material still garbage, so have some quality AI generated images to out the shits into them about using AI rather than learning to think. A little bit of self reflection for me and well, it would be a waste if I didn’t show them how my research “fixes this”. #coffeechain done, taking kids to camp this evening, and London tomorrow, busy busy. Hoping a bit of time on the train to make progress through the paperback proof. @HODL you stoicism comment sorted some final connections so had to add in. Maybe the second plot of the book!!!! image

Touched $120 a barrel and returned to a system breaking $113. Wonder what “peace deals” will get agreed today. #oil #petrodollar image

Gm nostriches, still a few finishing touches to do on my garden bolt hole…….. sorry, “kid’s playhouse”. Now for today and to replace the trampoline…….. Solid morning with the late night @Based Trading Cards delivery turning into a morning treat waiting at the front door for me. Season 4 are looking so sweet, but also feeling the need to hold off the ripping until we hit a milestone. ATH, hmmm, so 2021, how’s about UK gilt market collapse? Should not test my low time preference too much!!!! #catstr saying “time for a second #coffeechain”

Biggest Bitcoin conference in the world and the biggest, headliners stand up to speak about Bitcoin and what to the suitcoiners talk about? Digital credits!!! What do the bitcoin curious politicians talk about? Stablecoins with side of bitbonds. I’m old enough to remember when nation state adoption was the order of the day, I thought we’d be talking about the death of the dollar, not the dollar attempting to strange Bitcoin to be kept in a box as “pristine collateral” image

Gm nostriches, solid day yesterday, if insufficient biking for my liking. Tomorrow, I get to begin working on the Lego for adults playhouse for the kids, challenging, but productive way to spend my time. Today on the other hand, the day of the week when I teach, which is at least is not the HR and diversity shit from last week, if only the management/leadership wasn’t taken from such a bullshit perspective, it’s all definitions and no “hero’s journeys” (cheers @Rob Hamilton ). So sorting in my head what a leader is to me (business leader anyway) and maybe bring that back into everyone needing to be the leader of their own journey. To link it to last week, you need a connection with the leader to follow them into battle……… ergo that diversity bullshit of last week makes no sense and ends up with firms limping along until they run out of fiat funding. #coffeechain surveying tomorrow challenge. 🫡🙌 image

Gm nostriches, happy Friday freaks!! Well, this marks 6 years of me being in Bitcoin (well, first on chain, self custody transaction), yeah nice, maybe the money I’ve put in is worth slightly more, but you know what, as The Joker said, “it’s not about the money” This last 6 years is about what I have learnt and how it has changed me. Have I made new friends? No (well only internet friends saying “Gm”), has this strained existing relationships, yeah, quite a bit. People think I’m not normal, angry, extreme, even far right, but this is just from their point of view, where the existing system is still the invisible water they’re living within, all around them, in the background, continually stealing from them but they just can’t/won’t see it. This past 6 years marks a point in a journey where I no longer have ALL my money in the existing system, the house, the pension, the stocks or even the cash in the bank, I’m leaving it behind. This past 6 years marks me taking control over the assets I own, understanding the future world I want to live in and how I’m saving for that future. Yeah, damn fucking right I’m angry and extreme, those fuckers are stealing from everyone and you’re sitting there, criticising me, for being angry about the ruling class throwing money around to simply paper over the many problems they’ve creating or to create distractions (Artemis anyone? war in Iran anyone?), oblivious of how their actions are creating the divisions we’re dealing with no, making everyone poorer, while championing the under classes that have to be further subsidised to make their pointless unproductive lives bearable while simultaneously preventing them from ever making it on their own. Deep breath my inner monster; So far I’ve been in Bitcoin almost 1/3 of its existence. It has changed me, the way I think, the work I do, my unwillingness to passively nod along at the dining table when someone makes an ill informed comment in order to get the required seal 🦭 like clap of approval that says “yes your group think is suitably consistent”. While price may not be where all those YouTube influensoors told me it would be 6 years down the line, my personal freedom has gone up, and if nothing else, when all shit hits the mother of all fans sometime in the future and the system really crumbles, while the pension, house, stocks and bank account will have to stay put, my bitcoin will already be where ever I choose to head to. Now put a dollar value on that my fist denominator obsessed friends? ♾️ or maybe a little higher? So, over than time, block rewards have collapsed from 12.7btc ($93.7k) to a mere 3.13btc ($223.7k), transactions are cheaper, technology is improved, nostr is a thing and to top it all off, brought my copy of @Stackchain ⛓ Magazine into the fiat mine to look for a friendly face to further brighten my day. Keep at it freaks, today is the day you’ll have the least experience of bitcoin, so go build some more. 🫡🙌 #coffeechain
