Your Bitcoin wealth went up 3% in terms of dollars today, which for many OGs may be pretty substantial. Resist the temptation to feel entitled. Every day like this is a gift.

You're married but you're not ready for kids. True, but that's not an excuse.

The r/buttcoin subreddit has existed since 2011. The Bitcoin haters have had the same arguments, same level of wishful thinking, and same delusional unreality about Bitcoin since. They're not worth your time. Block, mute, and don't engage these pitiable creatures.

Yea, this is an argument for more people going to uncensored places, but what bothers me is that we're still lumped in with "crypto bros" image

The worst part of censorship is that not speaking or writing about something naturally diminishes your thoughts about it. Sometimes you need to be unhinged so the rare pearl of wisdom can be captured.

"International Law" and "Rules based order" were always polite progressive fictions. We'll see them crumble quickly in this new Age of Empires.

I don't like war, but if you have to have one, then one that's limited to soldiers, or better yet, the leaders themselves is much more preferable than total war that fiat money inevitably trends toward.

Bets are zero sum, just like status games. And zero-sum games don't add value.

About as credible as Solana saying they're going to stop pushing memecoins. The real news is destined to be here on Nostr and not on these outdated legacy systems.

What Bitcoin taught me in 2025: Stop relying on price models and be more low time preference.

Gross fraudulent behavior is unfortunately incentivized by the fiat system we have. The theft of our resources is bad enough, but what's worse is that all these rent-seekers ultimately end up destroying their souls.

If you're tempted to whine about the current price, don't. Complain enough times and you'll start to believe something's wrong. Then you'll start listening to the haters. Then you'll start to doubt. Then you'll sell. Holding is supposed to be hard. And even little slip ups can lead to failure.
