I'm in #ditto to explore.

This mocking bird came by this week to remind me that, to them, I am nothing more than a human tragedy wrapped in a corporate spreadsheet, archived with zero relays to send an S.O.S.

My experience with USAA was horrible. They treat the family of the deceased as if they are just another transaction to be processed, a cold account number to be closed, and not a grieving family in need of compassion and support. ... an inconvenient liability, a set of paperwork that refuses to align, and a nuisance to be managed rather than a legacy to be respected. ... an administrative error ... a cold set of checkboxes to be ticked and a file to be archived, as if the grief of a lifetime can be resolved with a processed claim and a closed account. ... ghosts in the system ... invisible, irrelevant, and an inconvenience to the bottom line, reducing a human tragedy to a series of bureaucratic hurdles and a cold, processed exit. ... like a canceled policy—nothing more than an open file waiting to be closed, devoid of humanity or respect. Sorry to be so negative, but its been hell since March with these people. Glad to be finally rid of them.

⚖️ Balance everything ⚖️ The time spent with loved ones won’t matter if you leave them financially reckless. The financial stability you leave them won’t matter if they never really knew you. The ideological, philosophical, and spiritual characteristics of your life won’t continue if you don’t pour yourself into your loved ones. Your job(s) won’t matter since your job listing will be posted, or close to it, before your burial. The possessions you worked your ass off for won’t matter as they become valued at ACV to some adjuster of the system. But the money you store matters — because it is the preserved energy of your life’s work. If that energy can be silently diluted, seized, or inflated away, then the hours of your life it represented were never truly yours. That’s why sound money matters. Not for greed. Not for speculation. But because Bitcoin is time stored without permission. And when you balance it right ... Love your people. Live your principles. Store your work in something honest. Then what you leave behind is not just wealth… …it’s sovereignty. ⚡ Make sure yo pass that on to your loved ones.

Bitcoin is a carrot. Fiat is cereal. The shower is reality. Carrots are waterproof snacks you can eat in the shower without ruining it. 🥕 Bitcoin is a shower - safe form of money. It doesn’t melt under pressure, doesn’t depend on permission, and doesn’t fall apart when the system gets wet. Fiat is a bowl of cereal in the shower. Ok in the right environment - but add a little chaos, inflation, or bad plumbing, and it’s ruined. Be kind to others. Stack SATS.

Always take moments to appreciate nature's blessings.

I am hoping the sky tonight will be clear so I can test Dad's camera.

And this one is Jupiter.
