#nostrap I wrote my own verse & hook to this classic by Immortal Technique. This time, it's about Bitcoin. [Caught In a Hustle] This is the way This is the way They say the odds of btc as money is impossible Like the upcoming everything bubble is laughable & we don't need rescuing, addict tweakin fentanyl But I never lose focus, my HODL is impeccable The price is volatile, if misunderstand education This re-shapes the whole world A total transformation & nobody is raped in economic deal striations Immutable timechain, fair situation Like your inner child voice, whispering for your path Realignment regardless, what you did in your past So now you're tired of science, & you wanna talk math How bout 21 mill, & not a sat more than that It's funny how with your friends, you'll be schemin for cash But never thought about deflation, in a wallet that lasts The Matrix War isn't over, but this New Earth Order Nakamoto makin money in cyber snowball boulders I would like to raise my wealth to grow super saiyan soldier & everyone can decide how inheritance transfers over So I work hard to trade my lil fiat for a bit Like El Salvador buyin the discount on every dip They said it'll reset to shit, just keep on watchin it But they never read the code, in block 0 Genesis I say your fiat's a snake, & it squeezes the soul Hyper-inflating every day, like a dragon dildo So if I should ever fall & get caught in some trouble Let em know that I tried To bring hope to the struggle From demorats to Deplorables lost in their bubble Zap sats in the hood & let's wormhole a tunnel Learn your 12 & remember They can never break in Your mind is resilient Like the freedom that's within Honey badger once told me If you don't save yourself How are you supposed to Invest, in anyone else?

#nostrap I wrote my own verses & hook to this masterpiece by Jadakiss & Nas: [What If] What if the weed don't work? What if the drank don't purp? What if the smoke don't smack Like the hash in the yurt? What if you starin at your guts Cuz your mind go berserk? Did you really go crazy Cuz you lost your self-worth? What if you thought about killin Cuz they didnt see the hurt? What if you're 1 act away From puttin em all in the dirt? What if you feed the bad wolf & starve the good kid squirt? What if you make a choice now ...To pay attention, short skirt? _ What if you never stop to smell All the flowers that bloom What if you never took a risk Cuz you addicted to doom What if you never blessed us Cuz you sleepin in your room What if you show off all the gifts Like the bride & groom _(x2) What if the Universe Was waitin on you to make a move What if your Ancestors love you Even if you never prove What if you never live aligned Like the shoes in my groove What if you never get co-signed Cuz you stuck in your rules What if you never seen your woman Shine in all her glow What if you never heard your man Say I love you once mo What if you never leave your fam & Not say it's time to go What if you ... remember grace As you walk out the do |(Chorus)

Mother's Day. Father's Day. There's also Grandparents Day. There is a Children's Day, but ironically, we don't really celebrate that here. Even though it's kids that need so much love to grow up healthy. Thank you to my inner child ❤️ I love you "the mind of a child is where the revolution begins" - immortal technique

Give me a humble victory or an honorable defeat. But I will not take retreat.

Austin Bitcoin community is fun ! 😀

Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing. Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing. The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.

A conversation I once had with a homeless man: Can I ask you something? Sure I'm looking for advice from a stranger. OK If someone had stole your stuff, & knocked over your mom's ashes on the ground, could you forgive them? (I thought for a bit, & said:) I think if I could forgive myself first, for being in that situation, that might help me to forgive him. (He allegedly said something in response to this) The lesson for me is: Forgiveness is on the other side of vengeance. 🙏

The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight. - Joseph Campbell

I always attract, allow, & accept, all forms of abundance I miraculously manifest & magnetize, massive mountains of money I walk wisely with the whole, wide, way of wealth My circulating, creatively conscious current, is currency My effervescent energy enamors me to ecstatic excellence with ease

Do the work to prepare to believe. Then believe. That's how prayers are answered. 🙏

I attract all forms of abundance I magnetize massive amounts of money I walk wisely in the ways of wealth

You will always be asked to level up, when it’s the most hardest for you to. In those times, remember: It’s only because you’re making it hard. Let go, & let it flow, easily. ✍️

The breath of the artist is the call of the wild. The wind of the heart is the sound of regenerative joy. The taste of the fire is the cool sting of the summer rain. The soil of life is the ash of anointing, for all to receive.

Love out. Serve the highest honor. Give quality focused attention. Allow all connections to teach you, & your space of time will fill with abundance. 🌀🔁

It would be purely Poetic Justice if GME used all their extra cash to buy BTC, get added to Nasdaq eventually like Strategy₿, & shorts get rekted for playing the worst of Fiat Games (Hedgie Clowns Edition). At some point, not just the stock market, but the Fiat games stop. I still have hope & I'm still in. Never stopped eating crayons either. 💜🧡

Ossification vs Innovation It's great to innovate, as often & quickly as you can. While I generally agree that hard money should hardly change, I think it's great to also find a middle ground for Bitcoin. We're aware of the tradeoffs in optimization for security & decentralization: TPS. So if there are known unknowns for potential future signature vulnerabilities, then we should work now to build consensus on how to solve those issues, whether via PQC or otherwise, in an orderly way. If we don't do that, then we sacrifice the security trade-off for forced ideology, instead of diligently preserving it for further macroeconomics theory testing. A concise way I think about this is: elastically ossify when we have something good enough, but innovate before we are humbled something isn't good enough.
