I have a very hard time believing the government can send a $2000 “tariff dividend” to every single person without printing. 100 million checks = $200 billion. The stated tariff revenue is $195 billion… However, I will give it to them it’s a great strategy going into midterms to regain some support after losing almost all of it over Israel/Epstein this year.

Rode the bike to the Bitcoin Walk today. Had some fantastic conversations… great ideas brewing… The only gripe I have is the egregious high altitude aerosol spraying that took away one of our precious Fall bluebird days here in the PNW.

Do the thing.

It’s the same grift. Dependent on the people being fearful. Now the USGov is starting a war on drugs outside of our country… with a nation that doesn’t even produce the drugs. Insanity

Pretty wild thinking back to the decision to build on bitcoin. March 8th I made my first Nostr post, April 4th I was at the halving party in El Salvador… Grateful for everyone who has supported my journey and it’s just getting started. Since then I’ve been to more than a dozen bitcoin conferences, several circular economies and tons of meetups. Next week I will give a talk on tapping into our inherent creativity and living on a bitcoin standard at Adopting Bitcoin in El Salvador. Onward!

Your journey to understand bitcoin starts when you become a critical thinker. For me it took almost 10 years from the day I started to question everything to the day it “clicked” that bitcoin is freedom money. In almost all cases, you must take the red pill before you take the orange pill.

“We are prehistoric early, but we are going to be late in about 24 hours.” @Tony | thebitcoinway.com ⚡️ Tony from The Bitcoin Way brings a critical message to bitcoiners, especially those who don’t have 100% self custody… One of my favorite episodes to date, hope you guys enjoy 🙏

In this episode, I sit down with Tony from The Bitcoin Way to explore what it actually means to live on a Bitcoin standard — not as a theory, but...

If you’re not paying attention yet, you probably should be… @Roberto Rios (Peruvian Bull) newest video breaks down CBDCs better than anything I’ve seen to date. The foundation is being laid for the GREAT TAKING.

Gresham’s Law is not a law. Anyone who understands bitcoin is freedom money breaks this “law” whenever they spend sats…

Throwback to the insanity of 2020:

I know it’s cringe to tell anyone what to engage with on Nostr, but…. If we want Nostr to grow we bitcoiners should engage with non-bitcoin related content here. Anyone finding Nostr who isn’t a bitcoiner is here for a reason- whether they understand it or not.

There’s been a lot of discussion on the situation in Gaza/Palestine but this episode is probably the best I’ve heard: Dangerous information ^

Just did my own oil change for the first time. 15 years of driving and I’ve always trusted someone else to do my oil changes. My last vehicle’s life came to an end when a professional mechanic overfilled my oil and led to a busted head gasket. I’ve realized that being handy and having basic skills is critical in a number of future scenarios, which is part of why I have been learning how to do things myself and not hire someone else, even if it takes me more time or economically my time would be better spent working. Stack sats and stack skills is the way.

The future hangs in the balance. CBDCs and centralization or bitcoin and decentralization. New episode with Bulgarian bitcoin educator, author and podcaster Ivan Ivanoff

The hardest part about creating is just making the time and space for it. You can’t get into a flow state before you put yourself in the chair or the place where you create.

This is why I’m still on Twitter 🤣

Freedom is not free. It comes at a cost.

GM Nostr check out this custom borosilicate glass bitcoin French press Stoked about how it came together. Paid for with bitcoin ⚡️

Hating on bitcoin gets boosted on Twitter because bitcoiners interact with it. Sometimes I can’t help it either but typically when I see bitcoin FUD I think to myself, “HFSP” and then I close twitter and open Nostr.

Listening to podcasts definitely counts as “research”
