Cheers Nostr.

GM Nostr. Some of my best ideas come to me when I am up early peddling my bike up a steep dirt road. I'll take them back with me and start building with my agent. This feels like a cheat code in life. Really though I feel like it's a perfect balance between the natural world and technical world. Get out and sweat, the extra blood pushes the boundaries of your mental space. Take that to your AI and put those thoughts into tangible applications. This might be the way.

Thought Nostr was getting quiet, bear market FUD etc. Nope, follow list just got wiped out. Didn't have a relay backing it up so I'm kinda screwed I think. Any thoughts? Whine and start an X account? Nah I'll keep working on this chaotic protocol. May not be as smooth as the others, but I can say what I want and so can you. So first principles are first principles, the UX is bonus.

So if you're familiar with @Simon Dixon you know that trans-national capital actually controls the world through the Financial-Industrial Complex, Military-Industrial Complex and the Technical-Industrial Complex. Politicians are just their pawns, and voting is irrelevant even in Western Democracies. I believe this knowledge needs to be more widespread, especially on the eve of America's 250th anniversary. America is not just a country, it's an idea and belief system rooted in individual liberty and private property rights. 250 years ago, a revolution was born by a fraction of the population due to oppression that was comparatively less severe than what we are facing today. The enemy now is more insidious, more powerful and has more control than ever. This is not the same setup as red coats across the ocean. So what can we do? The revolutionary's fought back with non-conventional warfare and despite the odds, they won. We must do the same. If on July 4th, 2026 we united as a nation of individuals and took our income tax withholding to zero, stopped paying mortgages, loans and credit cards, and began using Bitcoin independent of the system for the things we need, we could do some serious damage. If all 330M Americans could unite for once and finally address the root of our problems, this could be our most effective way to battle the FIC-MIC-TIC where it hits them the most. Our votes don't count, our money is a joke, and our thoughts are curated. So we must abstain from their systems, or else become further controlled by them. Who would join me? And if you're not prepared (which we aren't) what steps are you taking to get in a position to do this in the next decade? I believe this is the fight of our generation, a fight we must win if we want to be free for the next 250 years.

We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us. A man chooses, a slave obeys.

Down with the ship. ☠️

I think a tactic to orange pill Normie's would be telling them to prepare for $100 for a gallon of milk or loaf of bread. Or $50/pound ground beef, electricity at $2/kWh etc. These are all prices we know will happen eventually. They sound crazy but they will become normal in time. The key is right now you have a choice to either prepare by stacking Bitcoin or suffer by using fiat. Most will wait until the pain is so severe they have no choice but swallow the pill. Just a thought.

I took time today to read this piece "The Great Awakening" from @Gunnar Stødle on his site myrabbitholestory.com What a well thought out and relatable story this was. It's like we drank the same poison, struggled, found truth and persevered. Seriously, read his story I promise you will find some relation to yourself, if not it is still very informational. For me, I was just freshly married in 2020. My wife and I started our life together in debt (because that's what's normal), and had just pushed through paying it all off and moving to the mountains for our first taste of freedom. I was mountain biking all the time, living in a free state (Idaho) and enjoying life. Still something was off. I had my degree in "Economics", I was working but the economics were not working in my favor. Nor do they for anyone who is a fiat debt slave. I was at peace ripping downhill through the trees each morning, I was in chaos trying to keep up with expenses using USD. The isolation of the 2020 era drove us deep into the mountains, which was great. But also drove me inward to figure out what the hell was wrong with money. Enter Bitcoin. I read Cantillion's essay, "The Great Taking" by Webb, the Bitcoin Standard and more. Like many, I realized I was being conned and could never see it the same way again. Stacking became our lifeline. It's still not easy. We continue to grind, work to raise our family and live humbly. Friends question our choices everyday, so we keep things fairly private. However Bitcoin and Nostr have given me immense hope for the future. We will win this after all because of people like you reading this. Those of us that are writing, building, sharing on Nostr while stacking the hardest money on earth are literally the ones holding that same earth on our shoulders. We are Atlas. When we shrug, the world moves. We've already won.

GM Nostr. There were a couple npubs in a @HODL thread talking about the annoyance of carrying a gun in the summer time heat. This Vlog is a quick show of what I think is the best way to dress for the weather while keeping your gun on you where it belongs. Don’t be another statistic, stay safe.
