Finally reading "BITCOIN: EVERYTHING DIVIDEND BY 21 MILLION " by Knut Svanholm as the weather allows for it -

Studying Bitcoin has been one of the easiest learning trails to start understand the driving forces in today's world. That is amazing and quite counter intuitive. It is the analogy of throwing babies into the pool to "teach" them how to swim.

"Bitcoin is the cheapest way to buy the future" - Eric Semler with @MartyBent in https://fountain.fm/episode/aICDQoyX33iIhkKLEpOu

Often people don't even understand what problem Bitcoin is solving, some don't even see there is a problem. Obviously too early to talk to them about Bitcoin and the new order. I try to steer the conversation to movies (have you seen "In Bruge") or other light weight topics (are you happy with your life).

It's a good time to stack sats and I wished I could tell others because it could show them the way out of the debt spiral. Hahaha. My mistake: others might well have totally different prefs; who am I to know if they are not happier in the middle of the pack being kicked around. Again: it is a good times to stack sats.

If only orgs knew how much more (often) I would have donated if they accepted Bitcoin. Hopefully lightning, but with current fees I am OK with on-chain, too. I don't understand why even major projects such as Thunderbird don't add the button.

Some client managed to replace the 400+ profiles I follow by one. Looking for the best restore process...

I like zapping with eNuts or Cashu.me as it serves a tripple-purpouse: 1 - value for value (the principal reason), 2- test cashu mint, 3-test lightning node. Now that the sailing season started in Northern Europe it's great to have quick checks for everything.

I enjoy listening to Ansel Lidner - chill, intelligent, visionary, and seemingly indifferent and stoic about the future. Pretty much the ideal profile for information :-) "People are talking about $200$ oil, $250$ oil, $300$ oil. It can't do that. The economy can't handle the price of oil that high. I would crash the economy everywhere." That is a valuable comment. Kicking the can goes a long way, so precise timing is impossible. Applies to Bitcoin, too. "The world could be awash in oil [if it wasn't for] these OPEC production cuts." This means that we are players in a game rather than dealing with universal forces and laws imposed by physics. "Western countries measure their GDP by spending. What do consumers spend money on? China measures its GDP by spending. So they can build bridges to nowhere to increase GDP." ... "You might as well dig holes and fill them back in. It's actually worse than that because you need to spend money to maintain all these fancy bridges and fancy trains running at a loss". ... more clown world ... "We have Kohl, Target, and Walmart cutting costs, missing earnings, showing that the consumer in the United States is not doing well. We are probably going to go into recession later this year. It's possible we are already in recession. Recession is always hindsight. They won't even make it official until quarters later, and then years later, they might be revising GDP.

"Help fight misinformation by allowing The Bugle to do the thinking for you. Doing the thinking yourself is just too much damn work." - The Bugle View quoted note →

I am sixty, but nature was kind enough to grant me the illusion of choosing my age from a broad window. Knowing and then living according to my priorities becomes easier as I age. We are free and incredibly flexible; don't let anyone tell you there are no alternatives. Physics and time are set, OK, but everything else is up to you. There are no authorities outside of physics, and nobody can be absolved for poor decisions. You are the master of your life at 20 or 40 (dudes at 80 and 100 know it already). Are you overwhelmed by life or stressed? Run an experiment: say "no" to the following three requests that take your time and attention, and carefully note the result. Adjust and repeat until you feel you are in control.

The US dollar died 1971. Each time the FED prints money its a hardfork, a new coin is born, which should come with a new name.
