“The best revenge is not to be like your enemy” verse 6, book 6 Marcus Aurelius, #meditation. Know your enemy and then be better than the fuckers. Don’t steal as they steal our time, energy and money, don’t lie, as they continually lie to win the hearts of those who choose not to think, don’t agree, just because it might be the easier way to respond. Think free, speak free, live free.

Been hoping for a pod like this for a while as I post what I once thought were the dullest charts ever, uk, US and Japanese bond yield. Turns out, dull but kinda important. Looking back to when I wrote this in December, didn’t consider the implications of Japan being a net oil importer, but then at this time, no war in Iran and no one knew about the strait of homuz.

Could the world be on the brink of GFC2

It won

Now that is an addition disturbance/ butterfly flapping its wing in a fiat currency house of cards. If Japan have to really print to keep the lights on, actually, and the new pm leans into it, all bets are off, and I will pray for those Japanese who through metaplanet was “as good as” real bitcoin. Thank you and great work @Peruvian Bull, cheers @MartyBent for discussing my guilty pleasure……. When currency cascade?!?!? https://fountain.fm/episode/kIltHdX5OSd58ywDaedi

Needed to take a deep breath and @Based Trading Cards were at hand to give that moment’s peace. Very happy with a @James Lavish @CrisCyborg and a second, but base @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M for trading purposes. The courage and economic hitman and my chase card from the WEF are all first class. Good work @Asanoha | Timechain Art Magazine

Reading this once I get to work, but just from the first paragraph, “the dinner table” struck a cord with my rather random piece.

Hyding the inner Bitcoiner

The pursuit of inner and outer tranquility

Gm Efrat.

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”

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. 🫡🙌

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 @Stackchainmag 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
