🇬 🇲 I'm trying to not be superstitious, but tonight's super blood moon (which will be visible from Europe and the US) has me thinking... Well, I'm likely over-thinking (as I often do 😅), but there are several factors with this particular super blood moon that are difficult to ignore. First: Super moons, or times when a full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth, happens on average 3 or 4 times per year. So not very rare, but an occasional occurrence. Second: Blood moons, or lunar eclipses, happen on average approximately once every 2.5 years for any given single location on the Earth. So they're a little more rare than super moons, but still fairly common. Third: Super blood moons, or lunar eclipses when the moon is closest to the Earth, happen on average only once every 1-2 decades, making them pretty rare, especially since the number of years from one to the next varies widely. Fourth: This particular super blood moon is happening on the same night as the anniversary of the ratification of the US Constitution (IMO, the real birthdate of the US). I haven't been able to find when something like that happened before, even on a different important anniversary. Fifth: All this -- a super blood moon on the anniversary of the US Constitution going into effect -- just before the most divisive election in US history, with one candidate being a 2-time survivor of assassination attempts. I'm not a Trump supporter, but neither do I hate him; I like his negotiating skills, and I definitely wouldn't mind it if he ended up doing some of the things he's been claiming to do, as a lure for Bitcoiners to vote for him, so I suppose he has my support in those ways. And Kamala's pure evil, so there's no point talking more about her. And as a bonus sixth point: This super blood moon on the anniversary of the Constitution just before an election in which one side literally wants to kill the leader of the other side, is also likely happening near the end of Ezra's vision of the eagle kingdom, as recorded in 2 Esdras 11 and 12 in the Apocrypha. If you're unfamiliar with Ezra's Eagle, this video is a good intro to the basics: If that vision plays out as many think it will, then Joe Biden will stop being president before the end of his term (which may have already happened), and the next 2 who will "think to rule" (Trump and Vance?), will each be taken out by the deep state, which will then start to rule over the whole world more overtly and tyrannically. That's not the end of the story of the eagle kingdom that Ezra saw, but you'll have to look it up yourself if you want to know what happens next. Despite this super blood moon on the anniversary of the Constitution just before an election in which one side literally wants to kill the leader of the other side and the climactic point of Ezra's Eagle might be about to play out, it might all end up being a nothing burger. But I have to admit that, given all these points, regardless of what's actually going to happen, God certainly has my attention.

Each of these questions will have multiple answers from many of those behind Nostr's continued growth and development, though the @Spirit of Satoshi will not be included in this edition of 21 Questions. Image by @Dan With these 2 books in hand, you will be prepared to orange and purple pill anyone who has any of these questions. And, as a bonus, any new user who reads these books will also be introduced to many of the names they can rely on most as they continue down the rabbit hole of self-sovereignty. Expect the Nostr edition to be ready in a few months! 👀

My 14-year-old son and I were recently talking about this place, Divine Design Natural Health, and how thanks to Dr. Brett (though I'm not sure he'd appreciate being called a "doctor" 😆), my son's broken arm was completely healed without any pharmaceuticals, surgeries, pins, casts, or anything like that. He just used bone supplements, cold laser therapy, and shocks from a PEMF machine. Now my son is doing pushups and using his arm normally, as if nothing ever happened. And if that wasn't good enough, if you look closely at the image, you'll see that Dr. Brett accepts bitcoin, too! 😁

What I love most about these signs from @bitcoin.rocks is that they're evergreen. No, I'm not talking about the green screen backdrop in this picture. I mean that after the election, after all the Trump and Harris signs come down, these can stay up. Because we vote for Bitcoin with every sat we stack and every valid block that's found. And that will never end.

🇬 🇲 I woke up, started getting ready to take my oldest sons to their morning class, and checked Bitcoin's price. Me: "Oh. It's $58k." My 14-year-old: "Is that up or down to $58k?" Me: "Yes."

Bitcoin defunds money printing terrorists, so they can't finance more 9/11s. 🇬 🇲

This a very personal note, but my life has changed a lot this year: my 6th child was born, my 1st book was published, I started working on Satlantis, and even my religious views have changed. I've been keeping that last part secret, but I think now is the time to state my beliefs publicly. For those of you who don't already know, I grew up as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as "Mormons". That may come as a surprise to some, but others may have already known that, or figured it out. For any believing Latter-day Saints reading this: Trigger warning. First, a few quick points about Mormons: - Yes, Mormons are Christians. They believe that the Jesus of the Bible is the only way back to God. - No, Mormons aren't polygamists. They officially stopped that in 1890, and then again in 1904, and then for real in the early 1920s. - Yes, Mormons believe in the Bible. - No, the Book of Mormon was never intended to replace the Bible. - Yes, Mormons believe God can make us how He is and give us all that He has (Romans 8:16-17). - No, Mormons don't believe they'll get their own planet.🙄 With that out of the way, here's what I really came here to say: I no longer consider myself a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I haven't removed my name from their records yet (I'd like to stay on the church's directory for now), but I do not consider myself a Mormon anymore. That's probably shocking to those who knew I was a Mormon, and especially to my Mormon friends. To them I say that I hold nothing against the church or any member. I've simply learned that the church has been corrupt and apostate for ~190 years. I'm not interested in arguing with anyone about this, though. Here's what I still believe: - God is real. - Jesus Christ died so the Father could raise us up to His level. - The Bible (as it was originally written) is the word of God. - The Book of Mormon is also the word of God, translated by God's power through Joseph Smith. That's right, I still believe the Book of Mormon is (mostly) true, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not, and has been far off course for a long time. I believe in 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 of Joseph Smith's teachings, but others were altered after his assassination, and others were just his opinions. But from that point forward, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I part ways. And no, Joseph Smith never practiced polygamy. That was 100% from Brigham Young, as well as Joseph and Hyrum Smith's murderers, Willard Richards and John Taylor, who got it from a group known as the Cochranites. Joseph and his brother Hyrum were 2 of polygamy's biggest opponents, and preached against it almost literally to their deaths. Brigham Young and others later spread many lies about them to serve their own credibility, but the truth is now coming to light, as it always does. Let me emphasize that I hold no animosity toward the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or its members. My family (who have all come to the same conclusions...well, except for my 8-month-old) and I love attending our local ward [i.e. congregation] for any truths taught, and our friends there. For those of you who have not read the Book of Mormon, I still highly recommend it, but I also recommend that you stay away from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ironically, the "Mormon" church, as it's nicknamed, is likely the worst thing that ever happened to the Book of Mormon. There are dozens of Mormon splinter groups that have split off from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but they're all at least as lost as the mainstream Brighamite branch that's headquartered in Salt Lake City. So for anyone wondering, no, I have no plans to join with any of them. I now simply conder myself a Christian, a follower of the Way. I refer to the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and all other true books for guidance, no matter where they come from. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻. One more thing: "Mormon" is said 21 times here, but contrary to what President Russell M. Nelson (think of him like the Mormon version of the Pope) has said, saying "Mormon church" is not a victory for Satan. But Nelson hiding his works (and those of past church presidents) in the dark, is. I wish him a very happy 100th birthday, though.😁

Rely on God for everything you can't control, and everything becomes a win-win situation. GN

"𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀?" This is the 4th question in the "21 Questions" book, which lists 21 key questions about Nostr, with multiple answers to each one, written by some of the most well-known people involved in the Nostr space. How would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 answer this question? I'll zap my favorite answers, and I might even quote the very best one(s) in the final version of the book!

Humanity's final boss will be all about learning how to voluntarily coordinate permanent changes to the protocol of our value communication. If we ever reach a point where we can introduce, test, and implement needed hard forks in Bitcoin with ease, then humanity will deserve -- and inevitably reach -- the stars. GN

Thank you, @DJ Valerie B LOVE🩷, for having me on your podcast yesterday! 🙏 https://www.youtube.com/live/L7RSon48fMc For those who missed it, we talked about all kinds of things, from the importance of connecting with Bitcoiners in real life, to @Satlantis: Social Events, to my 21 Questions series, to overcoming the mental heath pandemic that's a byproduct of the fiat system, and so much more! Valerie, it was truly a delight to be on your podcast! 💜

GM to the bots and the humans, but especially the humans.
