I can’t wait to be completely unreachable except by face to face conversation.

I just finished Scott Dedels’ “The Dao of Bitcoin”. It should be required reading for new Bitcoiners if they want to avoid the emotional traps that go along with treating Bitcoin like an investment or something to be traded, instead of just chilling out, DCA’ing and hodling. Amazing book! #daoism #bitcoin #grownostr #goodreads

Fight!

The result of this weekend’s 24hr beef broth and tallow project. We ended up with 8 1/2 quarts of broth and about 300g of tallow from a bag of beef bones that cost about 12,500 sats. $15CAD. Purchased at the butcher and the grocery, a similar quantity of the two products would be about $28. But the store bought beef stock is diluted 2x at least. I can make 3 gallons of beef and barley soup with 3 quarts of this base since it is so concentrated. #carnivore #beef #grownostr

It’s all theatre. No one is coming to save you. Get as self sufficient as you can, as soon as you can. It’s going to be back to a 1935 way of living soon. Are you ready? #shtf #foodsecurity #water #watertreatment #gunstr #prepping

I’m going to see if I can get a couple of store bought, likely sprouting-inhibited Sweet Potatoes to throw off a couple slips. It’s kind of suspect that one of the best survival foods is the most difficult to source growing stock for.

I was looking at old pics today and came across this one. A Wood Duck landed on our chimney, fell down the flue, and ended up in the fire box. When we got home the cats were going crazy trying to see what was making all the noise in there, and the dog immediately led us down to the fireplace to show us. I set him on the lawn and he quickly took flight. #animals #grownostr

We need to build a parallel internet.

This interview with G. Edward Griffin, author of “The Creature From Jekyll Island”, has really got me thinking. I’d love to get some people’s opinions on some of the questions I’ve posed below. Given that the majority of people in my country (Canada) and the US are still: 1) convinced that the right politician is going to be able to permanently stop the slow march towards totalitarianism and the establishment of a digital control grid 2) getting their news and education from collectivist-controlled sources and schools 3) disinterested in “what money is” and oblivious to the implications of the impending loss of a widely accepted currency that can be physically held and spent for the goods and services required to survive I think it behooves those of us who know better to really start thinking about how we and our children are going to operate in a world where: 1) our main earnings are paid to us in a currency that is not held, but is purely digital and programmable 2) general access to information services, trade, commerce, healthcare and even basic internet access are subject to possession of a digital ID and an acceptable social credit score. I’ve been watching this “creep” occur for three decades. The rate at which people are pulling their heads out of their asses and waking up to these dangers is currently too slow to stop it. My questions to those who take the time to read this: What are you going to do when all banks switch over to the new system, and your employer, retailers, and most of your normie friends and relatives are only using a CBDC, even if it is called by another name to get around the politics of it? 1) What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and received and email informing you that in 30 days all of your accounts are being forked over to such a system? 2) As a Bitcoiner, how do you plan on obtaining the things you need for you and your family to survive without access to the internet or vendors who widely accept Bitcoin? I don’t have the answers. All I’m doing is focusing on laying up supplies and slowly increasing my self reliance. But I’m doing it on land owned by the bank. I don’t see anything other than a prolonged general strike slowing this down. But will we ever have a critical mass of people to participate, who understand the cliff that we are racing towards, soon enough to make a difference? Sorry for the black pill on a Sunday, but I’ve been thinking about this all night. As I post from a permissioned internet connection. #asknostr #grownostr #bitcoin
