Very unpopular opinion: the elderly (say, 65+) should not be allowed to vote. They know they have a limited time left on earth, so their incentive is to suck as much out of the system via entitlement programs (Medicare/Social Security) before that day comes. Which, of course, comes at the expense of younger generations, who must pay for all that spending. The young & middle aged don’t have this perverse incentive, because they know they’ll be old someday. A major reason we have massive budget deficits is because the elderly are so politically active and vote in much higher proportion than the youth.

When I was in high school, I applied to Harvard. The rejection letter came in the mail, and all it said was “have fun staying poor.”

I want to be Bruce Wayne, but not Batman.

The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are like the Old and New Testament for me.

Being a bitcoin carnivore is totally played out. It’s time for the new low time preference diet: bitcoin cannibalism. To maximize your health and strength, you must only dine on the tastiest and most succulent flesh of nocoiners. Breast, thigh, ribs, whatever; as long as it’s human, it’s good for you.

I feel like we’re in the “Revenge of the Sith” era of bitcoin.

First they ignore you: 2009-2016 Then they laugh at you: 2017-2022 Then they fight you: 2023-?

Was going for a walk in a local park with my family and randomly walked right by Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara.

It’s not a co-ed gym unless there’s 4 or 5 girls all doing hip thrusts.

My first several years in bitcoin, I stored all my BTC on paper wallets printed directly from the browser, using a public library computer, with no BIP 39 passphrase enabled, stored at home in my desk.

The secret to getting your recommended 10,000 steps per day is to live in New York City.
