Idk, I’ve always seen it as a brothers-in-arms kind of thing. We suffer and we win together, but don’t need to be best friends. Real ones that leave aren’t forgotten. My team is going through some redundancies rn, but truthfully, the ones that will be cut haven’t really shown their face on the battlefield for years. It’s not that deep.

I like this new era of Bitcoin. Less hypey, all shitcoins dead already. Talking heads shouting about how mediocre the gains against dollar will be from here out. Yet the coin just existing, at 90k. Freedom money for anyone to adopt, now 99% less retarded

Bitcoin is going way higher (Fed balance sheet).

Over the next decade, wars will be fought, maps redrawn, governments will default and their currencies hyperinflate or dissapear, while people lose their jobs due to being automated away. I don’t think we will see ww1/ww2 scale conflict, but more of the sort of things we’ve already been experiencing for years. More Ukraine, Trump, Putin, Venezuela, Iran, drones, covid, psyops, internet outages, rebellions and men in green uniforms. But for most of us, thankfully not outright war or collapse. How to survive? Stay nimble and fast on your feet, be able to move around. Be fit. Find income streams not linked to your location, save in bitcoin. And tune. tf. out. from the noise, focus on yourself and family and your inner worlds, don’t voluntarily plug in to mass propaganda venues like X. It’ll actually all be fine.

The world is only getting more adversarial from here on. Imagine not keeping most of your savings in Bitcoin

Movies like Train Dreams that are shot in 4:3 make me irrationally angry. Let me make full use of my screens and 2020s technology that I paid good money for, don’t bother me with your fancy artsy bullshit.

Once you decentralise at least aspects of your life (even if it’s only, say, money and social media), it becomes easier to deal with the clown world. Imo, all our ancestors had to deal with clown worlds of sorts, but were to an extent opted out by default. Their lives were informal, local, and unrecorded. Technology has opted us in to clown world by default, but decentralisation is the exit. Simple.

Big resolutions for the new year include leaving X behind completely, and moving more of my spending onto a Bitcoin standard. For the latter, I’m probably weird like that but a problem for me has always been that most of my Bitcoin stash is cold storage and I see it as long term family savings. So going into 2026 I will more regularly convert part of my salary into Bitcoin each month, move it to a hot wallet / Lightning and spend it. Because fuck fiat.

The real frustration with Bitcoin is that it’s not a story that will be written over the years, but over the decades and likely centuries. We all want to be there for the 0 to 1 and live happily ever after but truth is even our kids may not see it in its final form. That’s humbling

I enjoy these moves, because I know at the other side of it there are some big sharks increasingly exasperated that their manipulative bullshit tactics aren’t moving the market by more than +/- 2% these days. All your pathetic efforts for this lmao.

Fed balance sheet expanding for the first time since March 2023 (SVB debacle), which was when the recent Bitcoin bull run started. Imo on a false belief that QE was restarting materially. It didn’t and was quickly unwound, leaving Bitcoin a bit in no man’s land (but still pumping due to 4y cycle cultists and ETFs). I think we’re going a lot higher soon.

Dear diary, Every day the gold people’s victory laps become more vicious. I picture them sitting there, gold bars piled up on their desk absolutely gloating at Bitcoiners online. “Lmaaooo gotem!” they type 5 times as they look at a carefully zoomed in chart that should not extend even a fraction further to the left. “Up a 2x against your digital shitcoin, pay back, bitches!” They are rich now. Tomorrow they’re putting all their gold bars in a bag to drive an hour to the big town next door, where they can sell them for at least 90% of the quoted spot price (75% in case the casing wasn’t carefully kept), after doing KYC and scanning their anus. In T+2 days the fiat will be in their bank accounts. Imagine being a Bitcoiner, they say to themselves.

Back when I really started loading up on Bitcoin, I guess it was 2018, it was one of those times where Bitcoin was “obviously dead”, endless obituaries. And my thinking was simply “something worth a few thousand $ is very much not dead”. Fade BTC at 80k all you want lmao.

Just tried something new, my first article/read on Nostr. View article →

Merry Christmas

Kind of in disbelief that gold bugs are doing the same thing shitcoiners do once every few years

“Recasting Christmas as a marker of Christian civilization” 🤣 that’s what I love about clown world, all the entertainment is free.

I love the current state of Bitcoin. Its story since 2010 has been human arrogance and hubris all the way down: First one and a half decade was all about “we can make a better Bitcoin”, which failed, so now it’s “Bitcoin is dead” by the exact same people. Insert any narrative, ie quantoom, to argue that case. Very obviously global acceptance and adoption lies beyond this current phase. What humans thought about Bitcoin never mattered.
