SFF node update.

The government hates you and is trying to kill you.

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin is not digital gold. And we need to stop calling it that. Gold inherently requires trust. You must trust the purity of the bar. Trust the person transporting it. Trust the storage facility. Trust the world around you to honor it. That’s why gold often ends up in vaults, banks, and ETFs. Systems upon systems built on layers and layers of trust. And that’s exactly the problem. When we label Bitcoin as “digital gold,” we open the door for institutions to normalize trusted custody. Normalize their narrative. They’ll say it’s fine to hold your Bitcoin in their vaults. That you need their help. That it’s just like gold. But Bitcoin isn’t gold. It’s trust-less. That is the breakthrough. That is the revolution. Look around: How often do you hear the term “self-custody” from regulators, banks, or press releases? How often do you hear them promote sovereign ownership of Bitcoin? Rarely. And that’s not an accident. This is a form of soft capture. It’s subtle, calculated, and dangerous. The omission of self-custody is not a mistake. The language is deliberate. The narrative is carefully crafted. Don’t fall for it. Bitcoin is not digital gold. It’s the end of trusted intermediaries. Not your keys, not your coins. Reject trusted systems. Reject their intentions. Reject their narrative. Stay sovereign.

‼️BREAKING ‼️ Bitcoin Knots breaks past 15%!

Taking the next several days off finally.

So I took my daughter to that concert last night. All and all it cost around 600$. Today, the gains on one of my bitcoin positions on one of the exchanges I use has gone up a little over 600$ Think about this… if we were on a Bitcoin standard my base purchasing power would be the same as the day before the show. This is how it happens. This is how Bitcoin brings post scarcity. Sure, it could have gone down. Or up not as much. But try not to focus on the minutiae. We’re not all the way there yet. We are still building. But I think my point stands. A system that doesn’t rob from your future benefits your present.

Gold turns to rot in idle claws. What good is treasure sealed from light, When hoarded wealth breeds fear, not might? Smaug slumbers, fat on stolen flame, While kingdoms crumble in his name. But coin unused is coin decayed, No seed it sows, no debt it’s paid. True wealth is passed from hand to hand, Not piled like bones upon the land. So let your riches build, not bind. Let value flow, and free your mind. For dragons fall, and hoards grow cold, But giving turns mere coins to gold.

Build the world you want to live in.

Some see the good in the bad. Some see the bad in the good.

Drive in movie time. 😁

It’s a beautiful day. We won’t solve the world’s problems in 24 hours. Go outside. Spend time with kids/family. Turn your screens off. Be in the moment.

I will begin recording the first build of the node series early next week. If you’ve built a PC before this will be either boring or a refresher for you. If you haven’t, this will be a good start. It’s much easier than it looks. If some of this equipment looks outdated, that’s because it is. There’s two reasons for this. 1. To show that nodes can and should run on older hardware. Lowering the barrier to entry. And helping cut down on E-waste. 2. It’s what I have on hand. And since I’m doing this completely at my own expense, I need to keep costs down everywhere I can. I have enough equipment to demonstrate building about 6, maybe 7 nodes of varying difficulty/power. It’ll take about a week to build, record and edit each one. To save sync time I may bootstrap the blockchain. Haven’t decided yet. I may not to show the difference in sync times between different builds. (Leaning towards that direction, after all, this will likely be what you experience.) I will be uploading to YouTube, Rumble, X and possibly Primal/Nostr if it can handle the long videos. (Unsure) So make sure you subscribe now and turn notifications on. It’ll help me gauge how many are interested. Thank you all in advance. I love sharing my knowledge. And helping others grow with theirs. 😁 https://rumble.com/v6v1u1d-test-video.html https://youtube.com/@satsscholar?si=3tt-9JGZ6GuPyqKb

Fight for freedom. Fight for Bitcoin.

I love Bitcoin! Buy my company that buys Bitcoin!

Make war unaffordable. Buy Bitcoin.

At this point, I think the damage is done. knots adoption will continue to increase. And likely those who have switched will never switch back. Decentralization wins.

Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution. A revolution written in code and connections. Those who seek to derail that revolution will feel the effects. For they are not arbitrary nor are they silent.

You don’t own dollars. You don’t own stocks. You don’t even own land. Study Bitcoin.
