Why would I recently Jack around to the degree that I appear to be a jackass? Certainly not for no reason and though at times I DO behave like an ass, I am certainly not a complete jackass IMO. So why the silly posts? Well, I’m just operating on the principle that: So Please, just tolerate me for a half dozen or so posts so I can demonstrate my admiration for Jack, my appreciation for Matt Odell and OpenSats and the fact that with all eyes on Bitcoin currently, this maybe the BEST time to show significant support for OpenSats.

Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied “Because that’s where the money is.” The story is tax policy follows the same principle, tax the wealthy—but it doesn’t ever seem to work out that way. Hmm. “When all the cops are criminals and all the sinners saints.” Such a great lyric.

Yep, you smiling next to a “sky is falling” headline makes you appear down right sinister! View quoted note →

BECAUSE YOU WILL SOON HAVE THE ENTIRE CAMEL IN YOUR TENT! I don’t really need to explain the link—in my experience Bitcoiners are smarter than the average bear.

You are spot on, don’t forget BITCOIN is freedom tech for LIVING! Prudent to hold some cash for bail, legal and accounting expenses, or have a friend who does, ie Samourai bust. View quoted note →

BITCOINERS to some degree, the public in general (the recent generation or two and the elderly particularly) just don’t get the degree loss of privacy will rock their world. “ …annoyance with himself for letting his world be rocked by fame. HE’S GIVEN UP HIS PRIVACY HIS CONTROL. HIS LIFE IS PUBLIC NOW. In this way, he’s the man who sold himself out.” (Following article is for your listening pleasure!)

You don’t listen to or read the material Marty and Matt produce, you study it as if your future depends on it—because it does.

Why I’ve become a radical for BITCOIN. I’m an American MANUFACTURER. I’m not an importer/reseller. I do not provide a service. I don’t assemble, package and sell. Nothing I do will EVER be available on Amazon. None of the above are necessary without what I and others like me do. I buy elements that have been mined from the earth e.g. chromium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, silica, iron, a dozen or so others and turn it into numerous steels: mild steels, alloy steels, tool steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, from which I make castings. My castings are used in numerous machines and equipment that enable secondary, tertiary, etc, manufacturers to produce what they do. Without what my industry produces NO modern plane or rocket could leave the earth, no nuclear reactor could be built hence, we would have no defense systems. I AM A PRIMARY MANUFACTURER. I’ve worked in my industry for 50 yrs this month. I started a business in this industry just over 32yrs ago. TODAY it is no longer possible to do what I did and it’s not because I’m special. What I did back then is now so regulated, the financial barriers so great, the available labor is so hobbled and the number of no-value-added costs so high that it is nearly impossible to start small and grow. Today, new foundries are the offspring of existing foundries operating at scale that are bankable and believe it or not, this isn’t workable over the long-term. This month I am nearly finished CLOSING my business. Please understand I am not going-out-of-business due to necessity—I had healthy sales and profitability in 2023 and the first quarter of this year. I have decided to no longer do what I have done, I quit. Very simply a hard, healthy, abrupt stop. Why and what does this have to do with BITCOIN? At this point I personally have NO other means to disrupt a very broken system and BITCOIN along with the great minds behind Bitcoin alone will facilitate the commerce that will enable a rebuilding—possibly before complete destruction. The government that is funded BY us, exists only because of OUR work, has been working with those who will destroy us. BITCOIN fixes this and it is time to risk our lives and our fortunes to build BITCOIN as our financial system, and defend it. To fail in this is to assure our continuing enslavement. “I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” -not my words, rather my spirit. So, answer me this, “Who IS Bitcoin?”

When it comes to TradFi, Bitcoiners be like:

I believe David Draiman is classically trained. Much more to this man than meets the eye, kinda like Lynn Alden. Much love. View quoted note →

When Paul Simon was asked what he thought of Disturbed’s cover of his song “Sound of Silence,” he replied something to the effect, “What used to be my song.” Class act. Don’t expect TradFi to be as gracious about the BITCOIN steamroller. 🤭 View quoted note →
