Bitcoin: "All World Banks Do Not Care About You" By BR (NOSTR only original Content) Topic: RANT My trigger today, I allow it, I choose to react, was this full page Ad in my Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper. It shows how employee, Kitty L. exclaims: "I'm proud the Bank of America is ALWAYS doing what's right for our clients."- Kitty L. Financial Solutions Advisor, Las Vegas, Nevada (No local employee could give you this copy?) This is bullshit. Total bullshit and here is why. In my 35 years of playing the game horribly in Corporate America, I have worked side by side with 1000s of Kitty Ls and Mike Ds. These people shill or toe the company line and are always rewarded. The people who challenge the status quo are seldom rewarded but also seldom punished, since these people are usually your best employees.  Bank of America doesn't give a shit about "you the customer" or "you the employee", it's all about keeping the 'manipulation of money' alive and well for them. Them defined as the VPs on up, stock options, C-suite, finger gun pointing empty heads who only manage up one layer to keep the grift alive for them. Yes, we all have bills, mortgages, but it is dishonest, Kitty, to say what you are saying. If you are even real or even said it. Kitty? I'd use a nickname too.  Why does Bank of America take out full page ads? Why did US Bank spend millions to name our local billion dollar football stadium that apparently is a giant ship?  If you really care, and were an honest employee - let alone honest company -  you'd speak out, "why do we spend so much on Advertising, 100s of millions, instead of giving back to our cherished customers with their deposits in the form of interest or incentive. You don't even have their deposits as you have hedged or loaned it out essentially printing money. But you are in good company following our Debt Addicted government. When will people challenge the Status Quo of our Financial lives?  You know, banks, my Savings account, my asset, is your liability and you know my load, my liability is your a$$et.   You don't care about the 'client/customer/guest', unless they are fully indebted to you. If any of this resonates, it's a virus in most companies, this is why I Bitcoin. Bitcoin can't be manipulated by any person, company, country, ad campaign or douche bag saying "There he is (pointing finger guns), we should do lunch." Good God, be honest, for once, study Bitcoin.

I'm not paying one cent for X but paying many micro-cents for NOSTR. This product will eventually be clear, Social Media for the people run on top of MOIP (Money Over IP) for the people.

Elon Musk says X may go behind a paywall for everyone so he can 'combat vast armies of bots'

"It's a longer discussion but this is actually the only defense against armies of bots," Musk said.

Bitcoiners who 'do not stay in their lane' can start to sound like Peter. Don't be like Peter.

Famed investor Peter Schiff said that married women in the workforce are partly to blame for the country's housing crisis — and he was blasted for it. Here's his explanation

Does anyone know if Sepp is still a Bitcoiner? Great questions to Satoshi over 14 years ago.

Can you imagine investing, working on, studying, trying to get others into a coin created and run by this guy? How dumb do you have to be to not see the grift?

I know Bitcoin doesn't care about Spot ETFs in America as the big guys are lining up, but a real situation could be after approval American people won't care either to buy into a Bitcoin Spot ETFs. Newsflash, they aren't buying it now especially with the unsupportive politics/FUD/SEC/CFTC misinformation train? People listen to the mouthpieces. Note how other countries are doing with Bitcoin ETFs today (maybe there is a better update on this? I am lazy.)

"Bitcoin: The Virus and the Orange Jab" By BR (NOSTR only content) September 14, 2023 As we know Bitcoin doesn't need Trump/Biden, Tucker/Rogan, Bukele, or any of us 'BItcoin Maxis.' The Ultimate Bitcoin Jesus was Satoshi. Bitcoin is doing great without him, the math is what grounds us all, the WORDS used around Bitcoin though have been terrible.(Mainstream Media, GreenPeace's HitPiece of totally tainted FUD, Crypto Wannabes talking out of their asses.) Good God reasonable people are going to be pissed off when they figure out all the manipulation of time and money used to try to quell the Bitcoin VIRUS. It's incurable, a rare Black Swan event like the Internet. So why do we care? Why do we continue to blather on and on about it on X/NOSTR? Because Bitcoin is a hell of a drug when you get the orange jab. Definition of a miracle drug, "one that works like it says on the package." Bitcoin not only works like it says it does, it is Miracle Money and even then it doesn't even have to be money as it can be a vehicle for Miracle Savings. Mind bending. Holy shit, Bitcoin is real. (Proving itself daily the past 14 years and moving $100 trillion friction free, worldwide, at the speed of light without a third party - pointing fingers at you Wells Fargo, Visa, Western Union. Your grift is almost up. Can a developer make a pair of Bitcoin AI goggles so people can see what we see, after we all did our DD/POW? So the rest of the 99% could stop taking selfies, being influencers, and simply FOLLOW. Follow Satoshi's lead, start with "you may want to get some Bitcoin in case it takes off." You are going to be so pissed off ......and I will have MASSIVE Shadenfreude. p.s. Special thanks I have a large German following for whatever reason.

Do people realize the magnitude of Bitcoin's scarcity? If we could give everyone in the world, 1 Sat, ONE, singular, do people realize it would take 80 Bitcoins?

GM posts are nice but they suck when you actually try to go back into NOSTR and you see n1000s of GM posts from yesterday, the day before, the day before, the day before... Sure they are nice but low effort and bandwidth clogging, time suck. Good Morning by the way. I am drinking some Genmaicha Tea, my favorite, loose leaf, always steeping, full strength, 40 ounce mug from RTIC. Did you know RTIC is a competitor to YETI? Brothers, cool story, Texas. I like Texas, best drivers in the United States in my opinion and great BBQ. Do you like BBQ? I am a big fan of air and gravity too, hopefully we humans don't screw that up.

@nat brunell deserves more respect. She is not just a gorgeous woman, she is ultra talented. It is hard to summarize, edit, paraphrase the salient points when discussing expansive topics. There are countless podcasts out there with 100s of hours of opinions and content on BTC ETFs, Grayscale trying to convert to a spot ETF, Binance possibly collapsing and WHY the SEC may be waiting for that to happen. 9 Minutes. 9 Minutes is all you need to listen to this gem Natalie put together. She is a pro. A journalist, like that term or not, YOU are not a journalist because you have a computer or a microphone as you blather on and on. The skill, like a good coder is to 'tighten' your code, super efficient, no different than the words you use and choose and EDIT. That's the professional part. Natalie is a PRO.

Need some Ammo, how do I respond to a really smart friend of mine who thinks. 1) BlackRock will get best MIT people and come up with a Better Bitcoin 2) On Saylor after I sent a link to Saylor BTC Prague Keynote; "Yes, I’ll listen to it. I recognized MicroStrategy and Saylor. He’s had a number of legal issues, particularly fraud and most recently tax evasion."

"Bitcoin: The GREAT Work/Life Wealth/Health Balance" By BR (Original Content only on NOSTR) September 9, 2023 We all have heard: FIAT WORLD "You need to have a good Work/Life balance." But what about this? BITCOIN WORLD "Work/Life balances." Exactly eighteen Months ago today I started living and working my life on a Bitcoin Only Standard. (I now celebrate every 9th day of the month.) I now understand what my Wildlife Artist friend has told me for decades how he spends months on a painting never knowing if it will sell. He's made a phenomenal living but it was never easy and he had to learn everything to save money during lean times. (e.g. He built his own house etc.) Today, I think of him as if I am an artist, as I 'work on Bitcoin.' Painting, perhaps some will sell in the future ("Number go up") or none will sell ("Number go down.") Regardless, Bitcoin has changed my life for the better in all aspects. How have I changed? Mental Health: Rock Solid, all my mental health issues were tied to my soul sucking career in Corporate America. I loved my BI work but always hated the job. To this day, I post, repost, post again the one page from Saifedean's "The Bitcoin Standard" that hit me so hard between the eyes. I am attaching it again on this post. I re-read it at least once a month, usually on the 9th. Mentally, I feel great, the best in decades. Physical Health: I am 6'3" tall and have dropped 30 pounds and am under 200 pounds for the first time in about 15 years. All my blood work is normal as compared to almost pre-diabetic numbers. Physically, I feel great. I understand, those are the two main parts of a person's health. What about, "how do you pay the bills?" Your wealth of Financial Health. I have always been a saver, do I have a lot of money, no, do I have enough right now, yes. For now, go back to FIAT WORLD and say, 'work/life balance' but translate it to 'wealth/health balance.' Both of these are in line right now for me and I am thriving. I can go another five years. Working fully on Bitcoin, perhaps turning it into a 'Geek Squad' like business (e.g. 'Bitcoin Squad'). I am already telling people I know to 'study Bitcoin.' My family and friends, beautiful, incredible wife of 31 years included, have been terrible. Laughing and joking, giving me shit. (The way I am wired is they are actually fueling my nuclear energy plant inside me because 'giving me shit' is also my love language.) I flat out tell them. You will get into Bitcoin at the price you deserve and I will help onboard you but I will be very expensive the longer you wait. Perhaps like Bitcoin Transaction fees on the Baselayer? Recap to my family/friends: You will get into Bitcoin at the price you deserve and you will get into Bitcoin all on the baselayer/self custody at the price you deserve. For now, I am THRIVING, I literally have to temper my enthusiasm for people, mostly friends and family, who tell me I am nuts to my face. But there is one constant comment I am hearing from all these people as they tell me how great I look. Me, unabashedly, "Thank you." I feel great thanks to Bitcoin and Satoshi and the Bitcoin Community, nothing made sense in my Corporate Career. Day one I was a disruptor, outlier, anti status quo, employee. I was the typical "put this guy into Special Projects.' I played the game horribly, it took a toll for years, and it manifested in my Wealth/Health. Not anymore. I have taken control, listening to Saylor/Dorsey's wisdom on Bitcoin and how extremely wealthy people value health too? Saylor/Dorsey are unicorns to share with the world, how selfless, just like Satoshi. Grateful. FIAT WORLD "Work/Life" Balance BITCOIN WORLD "Life/Life" Balance Future Me to family/friends: "I will be really expensive WHEN I help any of you go through the Bitcoin process and I will not feel remotely bad charging you after years of your non support. " (All wrapped in some colorful love language back to them.) My life has forever changed. Grateful. =================== Author notes: I am attaching a picture of a painting from my wildlife artist friend Bob who paints up in the 'Pucker Brush.' Bob is a dear friend, 17 years older than me, and is the only Bitcoiner I know in my vast circle of friends. Bob has always had a work/life balance and is another one of the great Bitcoin Unicorns.

Daily I read mainstream media on what is being written/presented on Bitcoin. It seldom is any good. Sadly, this is how everyone I know is being informed, ill informed mind you. I am looking forward to showing people these timestamped posts to say it was always right in front of your face and should never be a shock. Today, there is a really good opinion article written by Charlie McGlynn at Forkast, first time this site has ever hit my radar and it is a direct hit. https://forkast.news/bitcoin-etf-quiet-800-pound-gorilla-roar/

So Jason did most of his 'research' on Bitcoin Twitter? https://aul.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/delivery/01AUL_INST:AUL/1297573990006836
