“This isn't about Bitcoin, but rather what Bitcoin will teach us: critical thought, personal responsibility and ultimately self-sovereignty. It teaches us to lower our time preference and look further into the future—and that changes everything. When we have control over our lives and future, it encourages us to build and plan.”

In Guatemala during Semana Santa, enjoying Lake Atitlan AKA Bitcoin Lake and other parts of this beautiful country with family. I’ve met wonderful people in this here. Some Bitcoiners some not Bitcoiners. I highly recommend visiting Guatemala. image

It's not the church building and what happens in it that matters most. It's the gospel message (God's message of grace, mercy, peace, love, and salvation) that we have been created to share with others that matters. I do my best to keep things simple and this is the idea I share with you and those I encounter along my journey. Be kind to others, know that God loves you, and Christ has set an example for you to live by...thats it. Once one gets that idea, one must keep it alive by studying the life of Christ. Peace and Love

Part of the reason people don’t learn, grow and continue to educate themselves is because they’re satisfied, comfortable, complacent in believing their own narrative. It’s challenging, and at times difficult to unlearn and educate yourself. It takes focus and honesty with one’s self to grow into a new understanding about what is happening in the world around you. Until an individual begins to search for a different perspective or more education on a subject, they will continue to keep believing what they’re told and what aligns with their own narrative (information bias).

““This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.” ‭‭ Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.” ‭‭ Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭17‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

nostr is a space where you can get “value for value”. This means that you receive something of value by providing something that others see as valuable. bitcoin will continually increase in value because of its absolute pre-programmed, predictable scarcity. This is one of the reasons it operates as an excellent medium of exchange. If you want to get some of this value you must provide something to a space that others are willing to exchange their bitcoin (value) for what you’re offering. nostr is an permission-less space where NOONE and NOTHING can stop the exchange of value (bitcoin). bitcoin can be used by anyone/anything without permission by anyone/anything (government). You are truly free here. This is why nostr and the implementation of bitcoin as a medium to exchange value here is so powerful. Get it…?

I just left my accountant. My 2024 income tax preparation is complete. I become more and more confident in Bitcoin every time I consider the amount of taxes and the way in which I’m taxed by the government. #StudyBitcoin

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Founded in 1989 by Bryan Stevenson, a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer and bestselling author of Just Mercy, EJI is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. We challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment and we provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people. Maybe Ross and the free Ross “movement” will continue the work of advocating for people who have been unfairly sentenced like how he was, excessively punished like how he was, and or illegally convicted. It would be nice to see the “movement” to free Ross continue to highlight all the others throughout history who have suffered like him. Let’s see… #FreeRoss

Humm… S.4912 — 118th Congress (2023-2024) This Act may be cited as the “Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act of 2024” or the “BITCOIN Act of 2024”. “SEC. 10.
