While I’m not one to typically simp for government action of any kind, it would truly fill my heart with joy to see the TSA fucking gutted and left to die in the street. Absolutely the worst three letter agency of them all. Worthless, ineffectual, lazy, and rude. If ever automation could replace someone, let it be them. #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

Enjoy seeing innovation like this. I feel we are on the cusp of major innovation with Bitcoin in the loan markets. Fully collateralized, ultra-low interest, virtually self-repaying due to underlying asset appreciation loans. Don’t sell you 🌽 on the brink of such major financial shifts. TradFi is waking up to the pristine nature that is Bitcoin.

I feel as if there is a tendency in people to look for historical change to occur almost as an absolute point in time, with no relativity and as if one will just awaken one day and everything will have changed overnight. Social seems to amplify this tendency. The better proposition in my eyes is to fortify one’s convictions with objectively true first principles, baseline logic if you will, kept as simple as possible. Once your beliefs are founded on such, the rest is just noise and need not concern you. This is at least my way of dealing with the nonsense. Let come what will. Fortify yourself. Knowledge is cheap. #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

One of the many reasons I feel just owning Bitcoin is a superior choice to owning equity in any company, counter-party risk. At any time the heavy-handed State in which we live can bring down its interventionist bat with a vengeance. Regardless of regulation, the properties of Bitcoin that give it value are nigh unchangeable without consensus of the network, and even then I still can vote with my node. Bitcoin can be regulated in fiatland, but once you fully grasp the ultimate course and reality of where fiatland ultimately ends, there isn’t much to worry about as you realize Bitcoin’s trajectory is almost unstoppable given the variables it has to exist in currently. There is no second best. It’s THE hill I’ll die on.

Unless I’m missing something, the cornerstone of the #MSTR value proposition is still Bitcoin itself, regardless of how it is deployed or implemented in the world at large. Wouldn’t it logically stand that you would want to own what is making the company valuable instead of shares of that company? It seems like owning value once removed to me. I dunno, it just doesn’t logically compute for me. Don’t get me wrong, I think Saylor and MSTR are a net positive for the space in general, and there is always a place for speculation, but I just hope folks don’t miss forest for all the trees here and not stack some corn while the stacking is even remotely good. #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

This is one of the most powerful aspects of Bitcoin ownership: everything, EVERYTHING, in my life has gotten cheaper as a result of saving in Bitcoin. And it’s just that, saving. It’s thoughtless. Buy it. Forget it. Reap the rewards. Nothing else is required. No news watching. No TA or reading of tea leaves. No gambling on stonks. It leaves me time to focus on myself and the ones I love. And this is how it changes the world, in just one of many ways.

If you can’t pay your credit card debt at a 20 to 30% interest rate chances are you’re not going to be able to make the payments at a 10% rate either. All that’s going to happen is the credit card companies are going to tighten their requirements to receive credit, slash credit limits, and possibly even raise minimum payment requirements to make up the difference from lost interest payments. Meanwhile, the consumer credit crunch will just put the dampers on consumer spending putting further recessionary pressure on the overall economy. The real problem here was debt issuance and easy credit to begin with. I don’t think there’s a simple fix to this, especially not one so simplified is just arbitrarily changing interest rates. It’s just more of the same. Intervention, intervention, intervention, trying to avoid the painful consequences and the reset that needs to occur in order for healthy growth to begin once again. #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

Walk into a big box brick and mortar electronics store looking to spend a few hundred on computer parts. Stand at counter, completely ignored for ten minutes. Realize why brick and mortars are dying out. Buy the same thing for cheaper on Amazon. If it weren’t for the instant gratification factor these places would all be green-space, and maybe they’d be better off that way. #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

Every time I think on this upcoming election I get a pit in my stomach and a sense of floating anxiety. I know I can’t be alone in feeling this. What happens to a society when there can no longer be a peaceful exchange of power, when the system itself can no longer be trusted and freely validated? What force does it take to reverse the psyche of an entire populace, to reset the zeitgeist if you will? I’d rather not imagine it. I’m sure the gears are just turning too much, and most likely things will turn out fine. But I just wanted to put this out there in the ether, just in case, for posterity’s sake. Keep your heads on a swivel folks. Liberty never comes cheap. #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

Really digging deep right now for ways to make my overall self-sovereignty setup more robust. Currently run my own nodes, lightning and core on a Umbrel, a secondary node on a laptop, self-custody with an air gapped hardware wallet. The missing link here is web connectivity. Debating on a Blockstream receiver and maybe StarLink, as a secondary backup to normal connections. Any thoughts out there is NOSTR land on this? It seems GoTenna has been co-opted by the Feds from my research. Is Meshtastic a viable alternative? #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian

One of the interesting side effects of discovering Bitcoin and all the various facets that it leads one down has been an overall sense of moral superiority in my views on life and society. At times I feel a sense of what I guess is guilt over this, like I’m not humble enough, even though in general I keep my thoughts and opinions to myself. It’s a little isolating socially in some respects. Anyone else out there is NOSTR land feel this as well? Or am I just a righteous hard money, pure liberty or die freak? #StaySovereign #sovereignOne #NothingButLead #bitcoin #BTC #privacy #sovereignty #zaps #mining #lightning #nostr #pleb #plebchain #newstr #Rothbard #ProofOfWork #technology #history #economics #austrians #finance #news #liberty #libertarian
