Definitely entering the "then they fight you" era of crypto, spearheaded by the SEC. We're about to find out: does the tech actually work as advertised? 🤔 Stay tuned!

Early adopters are "investors" in what they believe in: privacy, crypto, moving for liberty, etc. We take the risk and the pain, but we get the benefits before anyone else. But someday, everyone will be doing it. The global economy will be behind all of those things.

Crypto is risky. But now fiat is risky too. Pick: risky freedom or risky tyranny.

Somber chat with Eléonore about Alex Pertsev's case, but with an upbeat ending: ETHDam! I'll be attending! Who else?

Everything is your fault. Even if other people put you in your current situation, it's likely your fault you aren't out of it yet. This mindset change is pretty amazingly liberating.

Yesterday I did a thread on how NOT to Bitcoin. But what should we do instead? 🤔 -If fees permit, use on-chain, protect your privacy with Samourai Wallet/SparrowWallet -High fees? Run your own Lightning node -If that's too big a pain, use Phoenix Wallet Nothing custodial!🫵

Buying a phone online, it accidentally thought I was in Texas. Switched to New Hampshire and I instantly saved $25 (no sales tax). Paid in crypto and saved another $5. This is your sign to move to NH and live on crypto.

Privacy is normal. Soon we'll be able to live a normal life while protecting our privacy as well.

Good times dunking on Saylor on Friday for his fiat maximalism. Thanks Jarrod!

Despite ripping on Bitcoin maxis, I'm also in the business of helping them become better maxis. Same reason even fancy restaurants have a burger on the menu! 🤣

Next step in the living on crypto journey: try to do it all on privacy-preserving, de-googled devices. As if my life wasn't complicated enough! 😅

The old social media model where it's "free" but you are advertised to (and your data is sold) is dying. Expect paid/freemium social media to be the norm.
