Twitter sucks so bad lol. My whole feed is full of people losing their minds over some young dudes throwing around racial slurs in a private group chat. None of those people who are “disgusted” and outraged have said a single word about all the innocent men, women and children who are being starved and murdered in Gaza. No comment on the documented rape and torture of Palestinian hostages or any number of blatant atrocities Israel is committing. Bibi Mileikowsky (Satanyahu is fake name) said he was gonna give Elon the call and boy did Elon get in line fast. What’s funny is you realize how controlled the narrative is when you see almost zero pro-Israel content on decentralized apps like this. #twitter #freespeech #freepalestine #endzionism image

PHENOMENAL conversation fellas. Gonna buy the book now @Neal BIP110 I too came to Bitcoin through theology / philosophy. Strongest foundation you can have for long-term adoption when it’s an ethical position and not NGU. Became Christian and learned all about non-violent stream within Christianity > Learned about military industrial complex > Role fiat played in that > Sound money / gold bug > Bitcoin adoption. https://fountain.fm/episode/GbE7Us559aG9FBNLAQFM View quoted note →

Long story, but had the most amazing conversation with a boomer last night. He’s a conservationist (in the healthy sense, not a purple haired environmentalist) who is helping to bring back mining to a beat up former logging and mining town called Libby, MT where I’ve got some family. For over an hour he talked about how much his generation had destroyed this country and how he wanted to make things right for his grandkids. He was the most alpha, masculine man, yet was almost in tears talking about how much hope he sees in young people who aren’t willing to repeat all these same mistakes that his generation made. I slam American boomers a lot because they have to be one of the most selfish, propagandized generations in the history of the world. Yet, it should go without saying that doesn’t mean every single one of them. I want to do a better job highlighting these exceptions because the connection we made was so energizing and filled me with so much hope. One general takeaway is that I love people who aren’t afraid to criticize their own tribe (and themselves). When I meet a boomer who can’t stand what boomers have done, or a Jew who hates Zionism, etc. those are people who I have THE MOST respect for. Life is so beautiful but I know Satan wants me to constantly focus on exclusively criticizing, tearing down, etc. There is a need for that when it comes to fighting the powers and authorities and not being indifferent to evil. However, there is even more of a need for that sharp resistance to be supported at a foundational level by a relentless and faithful hope for the future. #boomers #churchstr

All Bitcoiners should be paying attention to what is happening in the silver market right now. It is literally history in the making. For decades banks have manipulated the silver market and they are on their very last leg throwing absolutely everything they can to keep the price down. Silver will break out and crush these manipulators and that is a massive victory for reality and a major L for the banks. #silver #backwardation

When I was a pleb, I often use to respect people in positions of power because they had power. Can honestly say that I now only respect those who use their power for good. Power for the sake of power means absolutely nothing to me.

If I were to start homeschooling my kids the three subjects I would emphasize in order would be: 1) Theology 2) Philosophy 3) Bitcoin and all the related rabbit holes. Obviously these subjects overlap some, and there are a lot of subjects like history, english, language learning, etc. that would bleed into one or more of these categories too. But strongly feel that is the best foundation for establishing a life of true human flourishing in the context we’re in.

Bad theology is one of the most destructive forces on the planet. Good theologians are needed now more than ever. #churchstr

“Ideas go to war so people don’t have to” This the type of bars you only get at Bitcoin meetups. Shout out to @npub1sd0h...hp5n for organizing the North Atlanta meetup. Would’ve never found this group or the orange pill app if it wasn’t for Nostr. Love this place

One thing I’ve noticed about the older generation, especially boomers, is that they often will only be open to ideas depending on the source it came from. If it’s not from a voice or source they trust, they will not take it seriously. Very poor at assessing the validity of an idea on its own merit. Obvious caveat that there are many incredible individual examples in that generation that do fit into this mold. I have the utmost respect for those people. But for all the weaknesses millennials have (and there are many), I see so much power in our ability to at least attempt to wrestle with the merit of an idea regardless where it comes from.

“We the people” has always sounded good but rang super hollow., if I’m being honest. Nostr gives that statement teeth. It really is a relatively small band of us who are leaning into our collective goal to enable self-sovereignty and human flourishing THROUGH OUR ACTIONS and not just through Twitter rants.

Am I a complete hypocrite because of the fact that I love my country but am much more pro-BRICS than pro-west? It’s because I love my country and want a good future that I want this western hegemony to break down. I don’t think China or Russia are necessarily good, but I also think they are much more down to earth and have a much lower tolerance for pedophiles! A global monetary system where neutral reserve assets like bitcoin and gold play a more significant role is better for the common man and awful for elites. Also lotta short-term pain for many western investors tho. This is direction things are moving and I’m very excited and hopeful about a multi-polar world after all the very painful dust settles. Your boy is fully allocated to Bitcoin, gold, silver, MINING COMPANIES (going to keep crushing for years), commodities and emerging markets. Despise many of the companies in S&P and seems like most obvious bubble of all time (but may drag out for a lot longer). Protect yourself by being a contrarian. You don’t need to be as diversified as I am but at least make sure you have some Bitcoin!!

I’m hopeful and firmly believe that Christian / Muslim relations will only grow stronger throughout the rest my lifetime. Too many Christians are waking up to all of the Jewish Zionist propaganda we’ve been fed by boomers our whole life. The reality is that Muslims love and respect Jesus immensely and there is so much more common ground in our beliefs and how we view the world than most Christians realize. If I was a Muslim, I’d be real hesitant about interacting with any “savior complex” Christians. That’s not my goal at all and I don’t expect to be warmly received by every Muslim I encounter. Yet if my life experience is any indicator, most Muslims will typically respond with the kind of disproportionate hospitality that they always do. Last night was a perfect example. I threw out to Nostr last week that I wanted to learn Arabic and would love some initial guidance to make the journey as effective as possible. My brother @Yusuf al-Texani didn’t know me at all but took two hours between 1:00 AM - 3:00 AM in Morocco to do just that. Told me up front before we met that he didn’t want any payment. Zapped him 10k sats anyways (which is nothing for two hours of 1:1 language tutoring) and immediately he said he did not need that much. Authentic generosity at its finest. Every religion has their psychopaths and extremists, including Christians and definitely including Jewish supremacists. It just takes different forms. So when we see poor Gazans throw a homemade bomb at an IOF tank that is unacceptable. But when Jewish and Christian leaders systematically live stream a genocide for two years that is acceptable because of Oct 7? Make it make sense. Love my Muslim brothers and sisters and sincerely hope this calling is a part of my life for all of my days.

David Hogg and Nick Fuentes on same page about ADL? 😂😂 never been more over for the Zionist cartel. Young people can disagree vehemently on all types of issues, but we all see Israel for exactly what it is. Once these brainwashed boomers are out of power, Israel will have no support. At that point we will see their true colors to a degree few can imagine. Have already seen prominent Zionists start to subtly remind dumb goyim that they have nukes. They don’t even try to veil their threats. Freedom is going to win. Free speech is going to win. But it’s probably gonna be really ugly in the interim. image

For my own understanding when I’m talking to people about nostr, is there anything like this in eth, sol or other scamcoin spaces? #asknostr
