Bitcoin Only

Today I celebrate the eighth anniversary of my first bitcoin purchase! What a wild and wonderful ride it has been. I’m an example of one of those people that bought in at the top of a cycle peak and managed to stay on board for the long term.

Volatility is back on the BTC menu.

Bought this dip on the Cyber Monday Bitcoin Sale!

Got some great news regarding my elderly mother’s health today. Feeling grateful. PSA : Call your mom if you still can. They don’t live forever.

GM everyone. Wishing you all a day of good vibes 😎

Today is a big day. I just gave my retirement notice at the fiat mine. Thank you Satoshi and all the Bitcoin engineers, educators, and sound money advocates for helping make retirement possible for me at this moment. Feeling grateful to the universe.

Damned Apple marketing department made the new phone available in orange. Must resist this temptation.

GM. It is a beautiful day.

Keep this message going. Great work gentlemen. https://fountain.fm/episode/myag1EFAIhMCt6Uy4v7X nostr:nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzplw7s4vjecyp0wdd2sh6tkrlszdhnjejgp7wex8pkcjq92tyv3rthkqg3y

Sober 100 days today. Feels good.

Thanks for this update. https://fountain.fm/episode/zLxOPcJm6lKJ9xOnInRG nostr:nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzqh880dl9exuu9r0edr3shfx3nu4a4f4dfc8et4wl55zrx4ghehh6jnhshp

Feeling proud of my youngest child today. She has been saving 20% of her net pay in bitcoin since she began working summer jobs while in high school. She is a bitcoiner who understands the value proposition while still not aware the technical details and that is OK. She will continue to hold this bitcoin for a long time. I have adult children who have been out of the nest since before I became a bitcoiner. I have had less success with influencing them to adopt a lower time preference and choose to save in bitcoin. Lesson to other bitcoiners who want to spread the message of sound money and bitcoin adoption: Start with your own children while they are young enough to listen. You have a huge ability to influence them in a positive direction.

Fantastic episode from two of my favorite Bitcoiners nostr:nprofile1qqs9a486n5w72dsn72tyentdrj08ppqk2yyq707qdmlm347lkl6jmpgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnhd3m8xtnnwpskxegvdl5qt nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z https://fountain.fm/episode/iSTSbEmpJ6paiYAcLQak

PSA: Don’t buy the Apple AirPods Max headset unless you like pain. I regret this purchase very much. Yes the sound is great and the features are fantastic, but none of those pluses override the ergonomic disaster that they induce on you. After wearing them for a few minutes, you get the sensation your head is in a vice, slowly tightening on you.

New node spun up last night at home. Was 100% synced when I woke this morning 😎

Who remembers that fun April 1st event in 2019 where it seemed like out of nowhere the Bitcoin price exploded upwards and wound up with a green candle of 32% for the week? We went from 4K to over 5K in two days. Of course we all wanted to know “why”? As I recall, there was nothing particularly newsworthy around the bitcoin market that week. But there was speculation that some large trader fat fingered a buy order and accidentally kicked off the bull run that continued. Good times.
