About two weeks ago I posted about a friend who started to DCA $5 a day. My friend was inspired by the Jack Spirko post and how $5 a day can change your life. My friend likes Andrew Tate and shared this video specifically about being a wage slave. So I asked how the DCA was going and my friend said it’s not.. LOL. Why did you stop? β€œBecause I can’t afford it right now.” You can’t afford $5 a day?? Normies can’t afford fucking $5 a day? The irony is that Andrew Tate is literally talking about people like my friend who will be a wage slave forever πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

They won't listen, it doesn't matter what you say to them. Just let them be, don't fight it. The harder you push, the harder they'll resist and end up resenting you. Being poor is definitely a mindset and a choice, I might add. The thing is bitcoin is very much a meritocracy. Who's to say your friend deserves bitcoin more than my friend more than @Nic β›„' friend? Each when ready. It's been a while since I've stopped talking about bitcoin with others. I'm much more happier and relaxed.
That's something that bothers me about normies... I get it, that it's hard and the system is stacked against you. At the same time, people need to stop being victims. I remember when my partner and I started our company. We would travel hours to break even, just to grow our client base. I was making approximately $400 CAD a month, for the first year. My wife was in nursing school at the time. We would eat eggs all day everyday, because that's all we could afford and didnt want to eat garbage for cheap. The path to reach escape velocity out of the system was fucking brutal... I wish there was an easier way. I'm not the type of person who wants others behind me to have it harder than I did. I want it to be easier for them, which is partly why I'm a Bitcoiner. However, the reality is, that getting out of the system is fucking hard. People can either bitch about it and feel bad about themselves, or they can deal with it.
It is hard but it’s fucking doable. $5 a day to financial freedom is about as easy as it can get. Like are you kidding me? What would our ancestors think if that’s all it took? Lmao. She has an average job so she shouldn’t feel entitled to do the things that she does. Spending more than you earn is crazy. I’m starting to believe that being poor is a mindset.
Spinach is pretty bad, it’s full of oxalates lol. But the rest of what you’re saying is stuff that she will ignore so it would be a waste of time. She bought $50 worth of Bitcoin like 2-3 years ago and it’s gone up 4x in value. She sees herself getting fat. She’s a woman so there’s no way it has snuck up on her. And she remembers everything I said about seed oils. She doesn’t care.
That's another way to say it, yep! On second thought, maybe not exactly. I think most people are poor by *design*, think Matrix or social construct by elitists. Like, our education, culture, etc impregnate a poor mindset in us. But it is possible to shift the mindset, which leads to preparation, then luck happens which changes the circumstance (necessarily in that order). I dunno, just thoughts. Whadda you think?
The military isn't the state, even though the state directs the military. I think a lot of people lump them together. What Lowery did was take a standard career path for officers to conduct research on potential new military technology. And he did it on Bitcoin and produced a novel academic work for how Bitcoin is a means for anyone to have agency in cyberspace, not just administrative states or militaries, even though national security is his primary interest. Like, if only a state or military could use Bitcoin the way he describes, it would be a pretty garbage protocol. I don't think he was ever dishonest, but he is required by his position to withhold military secrets.
If it wasn't for Donald Trump making a deal with Romanian authorities and then pardoning Andrew Tate he would be in prison for kidnapping and trafficking underaged girls as sex slaves. So it's interesting that he makes this argument, he wasn't debt trapping then girls or paying them a low wage he had them held against their will locked in their rooms after taking away their phones and passports forcing them to masturbate on camera for perverts around the world. That's how Andrew Tate made his money, self trafficking teenagers as slaves.
