Farmer.

@Jeff Booth @Lyn Alden I've worked in ag funding for years and find very little capital can be deployed (even after YEARS of discussions, planning, and zoom meetings) due to the financial risks associated with farming within a system designed to drive food prices down and land prices up. Few in traditional finance see the core of the problem and scoff at Bitcoin. I'm trying to pair farm funding and Bitcoin together in one innovative fund model to get farmers onto strong financial footing. If we lose the ability to feed ourselves, we're all at the mercy of someone else. (Where I live, less than 10% of food consumed is produced locally. And we're losing thousands of farms per year.) I have an idea for a fund that could recapitalize small & medium family farms, securing their land ownership and means of production, and pose little to no risk to the fund/funders. I am also tied into a global network of land managers through my work with the Savory Institute. Farmers globally need help. (I was thinking Fedi could be a part of the solution as well.) Might either of you happen to know any HNWIs / family offices / funds / BTC whales interested in supporting small agriculture and food freedom while also open to working with Bitcoin? I'd love to start having conversations about this idea. If anyone comes to mind, I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

It's no V log, but it's honest work.

@rev.hodl Are you aware of any investors working in both ag and Bitcoin?

Getting back on strict #carnivore for the next 30 days. Starting with a 36-hour fast. I'll try to use nostr to keep me on track.

Hey @jack. Just listened to your discussion with @jack mallers on the MM podcast. I thought you might like to check out Homeboy Sandman. Here are some of my favorites, but explore his Vevo. I bet his work will resonate with you. I'm trying to get him on nostr. #hiphop #soul #v4v

This is what a ewe looks like when she is in labor and asking for "some fucking privacy please." Real-time shepherding. #grownostr #farmstr image

An evening in the field. Listening to @jack mallers rant. He's heated. But the scenery is cool. Hard work. Hard money. Take care of your people and places. #moneymatters #landmatters
