Raising kids in the country teaches them about wise decision making and natural selection faster than raising them in the comforts of the city….prove me wrong.

GM Nostr! Most of us developed a case of ₿itcoin OCD once falling down the rabbit hole. The renewed focus is a gift…. freedom is the prize. Your chosen profession becomes a personal proof of work. Your relationships get evaluated on quality not quality. The food you eat, the media you consume, the direction of your attention takes newfound purpose. Layer by layer you begin to shed the heavy burdens of the fiat system in which you were born. Be grateful for this obsession. Freedom is within reach. #WAGMI

GM Nostr! Lots of FUD lately. Ignore the noise….keep climbing and endeavoring towards your personal peak. #WAGMI

Watching and zapping @walker and @Lawrence Lepard on Primal was badass. Thanks guys!

I’m a simple man….I like water, I like sunsets, I like ₿itcoin.

Final sunset of Paper ₿itcoin Summer!

Nature has a million ways to remind you how small we are and how our existence is a singularity out of an infinite of improbabilities.

Everyone talks about Bitcoin being the trojan horse, but its beginning to feel like there is a Trojan horse within Bitcoin near its core.

This feels very different than 2021: -Bitcoin seems to only trade on wall street hours -The 10am slam, market maker manipulation, and volatility compression both to upside and downside seems relentless. -The mempool is dead - like really dead -The influencers went from spreading the self sovereignty gospel of "being your own bank, not your keys not your coins" to now shilling ETF, Bitcoin Treasury companies, and Bitcoin Options. -OTC is the market right now, raising concerns over rehypotheca.tion due to lack of clarity around strategic purchases/wallet addresses To a second 2 cycle guy, this feels captured, and while I know Bitcoin doesn't care, this isn't the gradually then suddenly I expected. Wondering how the OG's are processing this. Understand that some of them are providing the OTC liquidity and cashing out. But for those who were in the trenches early, and who fought the system that is now trying to control the Apex predator asset, how is this sitting with you?

Little paddle and casting this afternoon, passing time during #paperbitcoinsummer.

Incredibly humbled by time this week. Watching your oldest lead the way, charging up the mountains of Yosemite, his younger siblings and parents in tow. This once quiet, timid and awkward kid has grown to become a strong, independent stoic…who frequently reminds his old man to enjoy the moment. Full circle.

The guy who convinced me to fall down the rabbit hole in '2020, just tried to convince me to "peel off 10% and throw it around in eth, other projects and small treasury co's to catch a quick 10xer." Feels like a mid-short term top signal....we need a controlled burn.

"Move billions of dollars across the globe at the speed of light."

Bitcoin is providing the freedom to invest more time into that which matters. One doesn’t need to be a founder, ceo, inventor, influencer, etc. Seek hard meaningful work, build a family, thank God, and make bitcoin the financial ₿edrock….purpose and fulfillment will follow.

Sunday thought between workout sets. Decentralized AI will be the critical breakthrough which allows a sovereign man to become immortal. Uploading your personal AI to new biology will be possible/probable. AI and DNA sequencing will be the norm. The new immortal you will be the merging of biology and digital simulation.

GM! Today is a gift. Like the morning mist, it will disappear and be but a distant memory a week, month or years from now. Unless this day is embraced, seized and exploited it will pass like so many thousands of unremarkable days in your past….take the gift of time, exercise your agency and alter the trajectory of the future you!

tuning out the noise, stacking sats. my future grandchildren will read about covid, the great trade wars, bretton woods 2.0, & macro turmoil from the comfort of the citadel I've created for them.

4 years, 1 month ….all in. Is this the lambos and ₿itties part of the cycle, or meh?
