To all my friends and family that hold Bitcoin, this, I think, will be useful to you. It's from a trusted source. He helped me onboard into Bitcoin 4 years ago and hooked my family up with Ivermectin during Covid. --- "In today's newsletter, James Check speculates that if bitcoin drops below $80K, then it could realistically go as low as $55K–$70K. "If anything like this happens, program yourself to just ignore the price and hold. It is extremely difficult to time these market swings. So many people lose money trying to. "If this is your first bear market, it's especially important to know that big drawdowns are normal for bitcoin. Then it recovers and soars again. "There are good reasons to expect 2026 will be a strong year for bitcoin, as the federal government increasingly juices the economy." --- Hold On For Dear Life (HODL) #bitcoin #HODL

Do you think humans are living sustainably on earth? In other words, do we have a future? Will we go extinct? Or somewhere in between? #asknostr

GM. It's Thursday. Hump day for me. -17 out there. This also might be hump day for frigidness. Supposed to start warming up slowly. Thankful for anything that creates warmth. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 110 1.29.26 #gm #coffeechain #plebchain

Death: The great equalizer

Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, not the ones adulterated with fear, or some urgency about "what's needed." ~®Rumi GM. It's -5 out there. I leave for the mail trail in a half hour. Feeling rested. The moon and stars were out last night. I layed in the snow and looked at them while I did stomach crunches. The lines from Rumi above remind me of the algorithms on social media and such. They serve us all kinds of wines. Some are filled with urgency to act now! I've drank them. . . and regretted it. The hard part is to judge like a king. When you fall off the horse you get back on though. There's something reassuring to know they were dealing with similar wines 800 years ago. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 109 1..28.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

"If one steps out on a starry night and observes one's inner state, one asks if one could hate or be overwhelmed by envy or resentment. ... Is it not true that no man or woman has ever committed a crime while in a state of wonder?" ~ Jacob Needleman Sharing campfires with friends and family under stars in the sky . Remembering it brings warmth. Being on the back of our land, on the other side of The Bean Brook, still close to home but far enough away to call it camping, are fond memories. Good morning. I'm in front of morning fire 108 reading quotes and remembering. I leave for the mail trail in 20 minutes. It's - 2 out there according to Google. It warmed up to few degrees above zero yesterday and snowed a little. Enough, I imagine, to make the roads slippery on the way to work. I am going to get back to this fire, finish it off, then head out the door. I hope you have a great day! 1.27.26 #gm #coffeechain #plebclhain

How do I prevent the "strings" issue when I post a YouTube link on Nostr? #asknostr

I deliver mail in rural Northwest Wisconsin 5 days a week. I listen to a lot of BTC podcasts. This was my favorite last week. My takeaway: Home mortgages exist to make sure you are employed and pay your taxes to the government. That's why they make you fill out a mountain of paperwork to make sure your gainfully employed. They'll loan you fiat for cheap, but they're gonna make damn sure you're paying your taxes. To say it another way, the process is there to strengthen the fiat money system. Design is destiny. Perhaps the current mortgage system is designed to keep you on the hamster wheel. To keep things as they are. I invite you to give it a listen. #bitcoin #fiat #banking #taxes

GM. "We lose our time because we lose our attention." - Jacob Needleman It's - 18 out there at sunrise. I looked at the forecast. They're saying it's supposed to hit 8 today. Anything without a minus in front it is a positive at this point. This is the 5th day of extreme cold. Yesterday Hayden (16 yrs. old) and I were out starting vehicles. Had to hook the battery charger up to two of them. There wasn't enough juice to turn them over. I have to keep 3 vehicles operable for the mail route. I never know what I will run into with high mileage vehicles while starting and stopping over 400 times a day on a route that's just over 100 miles. Speaking of the mail route. I had a customer bake me a fresh apple pie last week. I have been running boxes up the long driveway to her house for close to a week. I don't have to. Her and her husband got a spot out at the end of their driveway for me to put the packages, Yet, a few months back, when there were leaves on the trees, he said that he was still recovering from a stroke he had a few years prior. The cool thing about it is they're also my neighbors. I get to hear stories from people that live close to me. These people are only a couple miles away. The advantage, I think, of living on the mail route I deliver. It's time turn my attention to my family who is now awake. I hope you have a great day.

Guessing I am zapping atleast 10 SATs to most interactions I have on here. Genuinely feeling appreciative of the Nostr network. #nostr #zaps

One way to look at Bitcoin. #bitcoin #harrypotter

From the mail trail yesterday. Standing atop a culvert the Bean Brook flows through. It's usually open in front of the culvert (bottom of the picture). The current is fairly strong. But not after 35 below the evening before. I might stop by here every day I'm on the route and photograph it. It would be interesting to see the daily changes. I drive over this culvert every day. 1.25.26 #photography #mailtrail #wisconsin

"Writing for the Evening Standard in 1946, George Orwell described January and February as particularly difficult months, noting that they are meant to be endured rather than enjoyed." ~ From a Google search This rings true. 🥶 #quotes #winter #january #orwell
