Like many paradigm breaking discoveries, #Bitcoin likely enforces the world YOU already see. Christians think it reflects Christianity. Atheists think it reflects atheism. Agnostics think it reflects agnosticism. Stay genuinely ready to learn from others, and beware that the most unhelpfully dogmatic groups are often the most vocal & confident.

“I don't know how to cook" is an adorable statement. If u start in the fire service & make that claim u get one response: "You better learn quick." It's pathetic how many grown ass adults have no food preparation skills. Learn at least the basics of how to fuel ur own body.

Late night deep thoughts on Nostr: One of the most challenging parts of being a firefighter/paramedic is also one of the coolest parts. Like many other healthcare providers, we see fucked up shit quite often. We witness illness, sickness , suffering & death on a regular basis. To most, this seems like a negative (and it certainly has its challenges), but it's also a huge gift. It injects incredible perspective on the REALITY of life. We get a chance to process the true fragility of the human condition earlier than many others. Therefore, it often feels like a gift to be able to sit back and recognize just how much of a blessing health & youth are. Firemen make this realization in their 20s & 30s, many others make this realization in their 50s & 60s.

Talking to @Saifedean Ammous this morning. What do u want to hear us cover?

The 2020s fiat monetary system is getting downright spooooky. Protect ur portfolio w/ assets the goblins can't make more of. #Bitcoin

This quote has us captivated by its accuracy. 😱 Carl Sagan wrote this about the future of America that he feared circa 1994 in the book “The Demon-Haunted World” “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...” Gives us CHILLS 🥶

This is hands down one of the best #bitcoin books out there, especially for those who want an accurate but digestible understanding of the more technical side of how this protocol & network functions, …which many who find #BTC through finance or econ could really use more of. 👊 @npub1jqck...akee @npub1tm20...lpna

An absolute privilege for us to talk to this dude last week for the 2nd time. First got exposed to Luke on TIP w/ @npub1s5yq...6q7z years ago, and we pay as close attention to what he says/thinks/writes as anyone in macro. View quoted note →

In a world where trust is deteriorating & sovereign debt loads are exorbitant, settlement is a WHOLE different animal. We explore this & much more in this week's chat w/ one of the brightest minds in the global research sector, Luke Gromen. 🎧 https://fountain.fm/episode/Nn8Jf1jWX4D1Ne9ohGBl

The notion that energy/oil is going to get more expensive in years to come makes A LOT of sense to us — chronic underinvestment, mounting global frictions, less cooperative exporters, etc. Who disagrees? And if u do, why?👇

Constantly shuffling your investments like a deck of cards might seem tempting, but it's not a winning strategy. Buy assets you have LONG TERM conviction in...and then keep buying them.

Don’t get fed like a pathetic little caged piglet.🐖 Buy #Bitcoin and roam free like a majestic, wild, untamed hog.🐗 (Yes, anytime either of us is at petting zoos we take pig videos🤷‍♂️)

Monetary reliability is going to be in high demand this decade. 👉#Bitcoin

Sitting on the sidelines watching #Bitcoin is our worst nightmare. Glad we don’t have to live it.

Talking to Luke Gromen this morning. What should we cover?

Hear a lot about recession, recession, recession… …but seems many are sleeping on the potential for deficit-driven inflation.

Spend less money than you make.

We still get consistent feedback on our 2 part chat w/ @Gigi from July, 2022. Dude was in a delicious flow state. In part 2 he deep dove on what we still feel is one of the best #Bitcoin pieces ever written — Bitcoin Is Time Part 1: https://fountain.fm/episode/XMsK6XkzxMbH4l18uOCm Part 2: https://fountain.fm/episode/mDLIxSeAOFmlqGk8LkDV

Chatting w/ @Danny Knowles he raised an important question that's been discussed but is worth repeating: What risks does #BTC face in an ETF-driven era w/ massive institutional adoption? Gains are cool, but this thing is REALLY about reshaping base layer monetary incentives.

We encourage you to stack sats. We also encourage you to stay humble.
