Bitcoin isn’t a revolution, it’s evolution.
Revolution is changing one figure head at the top of the power structure for another. Evolution is removing the need for the power structure.

Pretty much just my shower thoughts 🚿🧠 But I do other things like... Developer Advocate at Lightning Labs | Organizer of San Juan Bitdevs | Founder of Velas Commerce

If your "society" can only function if you repress half of the population, then your "society" never did function.
In the States the male suicide rate is 4x higher than the female rate. June is men's mental health awareness month. Automatic draft registration for men ages 18 to 25 begins this December.
These are real issues. This is what the red pill podcast bros should be yelling about.




I can believe that Elon would attempt to rig an election. You don't get to be a tech billionaire without having a god complex. But, I struggle to understand how someone could use a fleet of satellites to rig an election. ...how would that work? 🤔
I think a lot of men don't know how to have a sense of value without functioning as the ATM in a relationship.
And that's not to deride them, no doubt they were taught by the world around them that this one of their only sources of value in the world.
I find it bizarre that in 2026 men are still expected to pay for a date. I’m not dating, I’m happily married, but if I were to date I would appreciate a man that insisted on splitting the bill. I wouldn’t want a man that expects me to cook and clean for him and so I wouldn't expect him to be my ATM. And I would lose respect for a man that is susceptible to being used as an ATM.
And the nuance:
A lot of this stuff comes from the imbalance of pregnancy.
Bearing children is very difficult and dangerous work. And if a woman is looking to find a partner to have children with then it makes a lot of sense that she would want a man who shows that he is also willing to do difficult/dangerous things for the sake of the future family. And I think that is often where these traditions come from. The man needs to demonstrate his commitment to the relationship before she sacrifices her body to the relationship.
But not all women are looking to start a family. Certainly if I were dating again that is not what I would be interested in. And there are many ways to show commitment beside just paying for things. And so it's much better to have a conversation than to just default to an outdated tradition.
The AI bots seem to be trained to photoshop people. It's really hard to get them to draw an image of me that keeps the texture to my skin without over correcting and making me look like I'm suffering from a new plague! But I think this image nails it.


I’m done with the trying to prove myself in life. I am very much the weird bitch that I set out to be. Now I’m just amusing myself with random sidequests.

If your sense of identity is based on anything circumstantial, you’re leading a very fragile life.
If your sense of identity comes from having a pretty face, that will fade. If your sense of identity comes from having strong arms, that will fade. Your name, your sex, your nationality, your genetics, the color of your hair, all of these things were handed to you, they are circumstantial, they are not you.
Even the things your chose, your career, the family you built, the house you bought, the car you drive, all of these things you can lose at any moment. And almost certainly, at some point in your life you will lose one of these things.
The only thing you can’t lose, the only thing that isn’t circumstantial, is your character. Your character is what you actually are, and it’s the only thing that it makes sense to use as the foundation of your sense of identity.
The tricky part is to have a sense of identity, to develop a character, that could be placed in any circumstance and still hold true. For example, if you are a middle aged Hispanic man from New York, you need to develop a sense of identity that could exists in the form of a teenage girl in rural China.
To be solid, your sense of identity has to be totally separate from circumstance. The only things that can survive that are values, and qualities. Loving, kind, bold, determined, sensitive, patient, sharp, etc.
You are a character profile, a set of values and qualities. Everything else is ephemeral.


Clinging to hierarchy is a means of escaping the heavy work of self actualization.

Guilt is an individual thing and not a group project. It is incorrect and very counter productive to try to give the weight of guilt to someone who shares some group identity with a guilty party. And I refuse to carry the weight of any guilt that does not personally belong to me.
And also, the world will place these things on you and others. You will be handed the benefits or burdens of other people’s crimes. And I have very little respect for those who can not see that, for those who are blind to the benefits and burdens that they and others have been handed.
