1. Do not act out of obligation or seek validation. Note: This will trigger everyone that benefitted from your self doubt. 2. It is not natural to carry the burden of your expired version for your entire life. Note: Choose everything that will push you towards expansion and growth. 3. When everyone is doing what is best for themselves, start doing what’s best for your highest self. (Working from a poor memory, this is my paraphrasing of some points I read in a note here on Nostr somewhere, credit to someone else).

Every Tesla needs a BSG no network switch with the ability to over the air update only when needed (ie physical choice by the owner). It's needs to work even if someone nukes Tesla HQ. I want an open source armored Tesla like mobile home. The entire contenents of North and South America in self driving mode please.

When you feel most ontop of the world due to what you think the price is gonna do (or has done) is a great time to shut up. It's none of my business, I do however think there will be a highly lucrative business in running a operation to help public Bitcoin people escape their current identities and locations (if they were smart enough to hodl appropriately).... so maybe it is my business. #Bitcoin

I appreciate guys like Adam Black who suss out stuff like this and do it within reason: "Consider if you buy MSTR with BTC at 75 and sell at 65 or 55 even, that's a +15% BTC premium or +35% premium respectively." The point is not to actually do this, the point is he saw something and looked into it and it has worked in that moment. The curiosity and work put in to find the dynamic is what is great. Have the self awareness to not do dumb shit if you're not in that zone. Stay humble, keep building and stacking. I like to see people winning!

Vibes eventually devolve into fascism. There must be rigor.

The structure of the state is totalitarianism.

Stack Holder wisdom: Important reminder as #Bitcoin  starts to teleport your net worth higher: Attaching your happiness or self-worth to something that is completely outside of your control (like the BTC price) is always a recipe for a bad time. Life has a way of matching every euphoric high to a depressive low. Yin & Yang. Light and dark. So whether they're green or red, don't let the numbers on the screen control your mood. Remain even-keeled and rational. Remember what you own. Expect volatility both ways. And give your focus to things that are in your control while you wait for the world to slowly understand what you already figured out about Bitcoin. Your time is more scarce than BTC. So make it count!

the "objective" is not the fundamental nature of reality.

Have you watched "The Creator" 2023 (the movie)? It was better than I expected. Interesting that it has had so little attention given the AI concept. #movie #AI

I would bet that most OG bitcoiners used WOS because lightning is something they support financially and academically, but they stopped spending significant time managing it a while back. They all run full nodes, they all use mutlisig and an assortment of passphrase enabled single sigs, cause when you have that much BTC, chump change in a custodial wallet is no more loss than fiat inflation is stealing from your fiat source/stack (it's a deliberate decision). The staying humble part of stacking Bitcoin seems to be in short supply with many active Nostr accounts last 48hrs. The fight is ahead and my guess is many of you are going to comply in ways you currently don't think possible because you're more focused on #WOS than the foundational concepts. #Nostr #freedom #bitcoin

Thinking about which US State is the most self-sufficient is an interesting thought experiment. But more interesting is to consider "self sufficient" in terms of which state has the greatest conditions currently to financially and logistically florish when separated from the federal government. Maybe Texas? #Nostr #sovereign

Help? Looking for a recommendation for a new Linux Laptop, Advice welcome! I am looking for a laptop that is more powerful. I will probably use it as a daily driver for general special projects and exploration (ie not dedicated to something specific like the others). I am not a pro by any stretch of the imagination. I am just committed to learning (as slow as I am), I like to separate stuff, currently I run separate machines with Qubes, Mint, and Pure OS on mostly older hardware for different purposes. I am considering the Nitro Pad NS50 maxed out with Ubuntu 22.4 LTS (preinstalled): https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/product/nitropad-ns50-488 Appreciate any recommendations or advice. #Linux #Ubuntu #Privacy
