got the nicest email this morning from an old friend who, unbeknownst to me, has been going down the bitcoin rabbit hole. haven't talked in years, but he messaged me last week to say that things were finally starting to click. further proof that you can't orange pill people, they can only orange pill themselves ✨ image

the best part about this coldplay concert thing is that the head of hr is the person who lectures grown adults about ethical behavior and how to behave in the workplace

most people aren't getting enough (any?) sunshine regularly most people aren't sweating enough (at all?) regularly even people who have a casual gym habit are inside under flourescent lighting and tend to stop just short of that uncomfortable zone of sweating profusely fix your sun fear and sweat aversion gm

"Some days I lean back and wonder if the Bitcoin protocol is actually mining *us*, minting newer, better, more sovereign individuals in the process. I like to think that’s what artists are doing too: taking our scarce time and attention and returning something that feels well spent and meaningful. I usually come away from both musical concerts and bitcoin insights feeling changed somehow, more in tune with what’s going on and what really matters, feeling the sense that we’re all in concert with one another with bitcoin helping to ensure that our concert is in tune, on time, and grounded in the same key."

turns out "buy bitcoin" isn't the dealbreaker for people but "read these books and articles to understand why" is you can literally tell someone "here, read these books, they will make you rich" and 9 out of 10 people won't read even one those numbers seem at first glance like exaggerations but i've lived long enough and had enough firsthand experience to know they are probably underestimations plenty of time to netflix, to scroll, to go to bars, to watch sportsball no time to read

"you know how there are 100 cents in 1 dollar? well there are 100,000,000 sats in 1 bitcoin. same idea." sats are not confusing. there are lots of confusing, unintuitive aspects to bitcoin but sats is not one of them. please move on

shortly after i trapped a possum, a big raccoon decided to pry open my chimney cap and fell in. the sides of the chimney were too slick for it to climb out, so it was just in there making noises for a week. awful. turns out all you need to do is drop in a knotted rope so it can climb out. homie was gone in less than 12 hours. gm

many people give up alcohol at some point and when you ask them why they usually tell you how they don't like how it makes them behave. "i just drink myself sick" "i'll go buy drugs" "i get violent" "i gamble too much" true story: awhile back i was out for the night, drinking and rabblerousing no doubt, and came home around 11. decided to crack open a beer before bed. hopped on amazon, browsed for probably an hour, and eventually passed out. couple days later this shows up at my door 👇😅 so no, i have not given up drinking. of all the decisions i've made in my day this is still probably the least problematic. image #bookstr
