Happy Orthodox Easter! The lamb is cooking

My dad found a copy of the menu from the donut shop diner he owned for over 35 years. Circa mid-90s. This is what was taken from us:

Vegas Bitcoin conference will be a tasty time.

Takeaways from the last 48 hours: -No one knows what's going on, least of all the ones claiming otherwise. -Everything is fake, unless you agree with it. -There is no room for nuance or critical thinking. People made up their minds long ago.

17 years later Still running Bitcoin

I stopped telling people to buy Bitcoin years ago. I'm not an investor. I don't want to manage a portfolio. I certainly don't want to advise others. I'm ok with all my eggs in one basket. Other assets will have their days. People will point to a specific timeframe and say "I told you so!" That's ok. Enjoy your time in the sun. Up or down, I'm a Bitcoin holder. It has changed my life for the better in every way. And it wouldn't have happened if I listened to everyone else's advice. I'll always do what I think is best. You should, too.

People who think freezing funds is ok are the true enemies of Bitcoin.

The normalization of gambling in all aspects of life, and at all ages, feels like the beginning of the downfall of society. The blackest of black pills. I refuse to participate. Bitcoin is no gamble. The orange pill is our best chance for the future.

I started playing Old School Runescape this year and I kinda dig it. I only play when I'm on my treadmill (which I use a lot more in the winter). Basically a solo player mmo that I can do at my own pace. Totally a vibe. I'm a gamer for life, but I certainly don't let games control my life like they did in my teens and early 20s. I love to play when I have the free time.

My 2026 New Years Resolution is to bake zero pans of baklava.

Want to expose your family members to Bitcoin? Don't send them to exchanges. Don't tell them to buy ETFs. Sell them sats for cash. Peer-to-peer transaction sent directly to their non-custodial wallet. The orange standard of Bitcoin experiences.

Random Wednesday thought: I've never been able to form deep friendships with dudes. Always the peripheral friend, but "bro-less" my entire life. Weirdly enough, I never had a problem with female companionship--romantic or platonic. I'm even married to my best friend, which is incredible. Such a strange position to be in.

The "appeal to OG" argument is weak. Time in Bitcoin doesn't necessarily make you more knowledgeable. It doesn't give more weight to your opinions. OGs can get stuck in their beliefs, detached from the reality of what Bitcoin is today vs what they thought it should be.

Soft motherfuckers make a few bucks during the bull, get comfortable, and turn into scared bitches at the first sign of bear prints in the mud. These are the same soft motherfuckers that said you got lucky. The ones who wish they got in earlier. Those pussies wouldn't have survived past bear markets. They would have sold the bottom and cried about it for the rest of their lives. Can you imagine them stacking and holding for many months after losing 60-80% of their net worth? There isn't enough Tylenol in the world for them to play autism catch up with the real ones who held purely on principle. "Yeah but it's different this time around." You're right. This time you have more knowledge, more support, and more security. You have no excuses. Back then we had a bunch of retards on Reddit, Andreas Antonopoulos, and a whole lotta copium. Some people are allergic to success. Others take it. Choose wisely.
