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 itβs not.. LOL.
Why did you stop? βBecause I canβt afford it right now.β You canβt afford $5 a day?? Normies canβt 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 π€¦ββοΈ

Oof, he could probably afford it. Itβs high time preference thinking thatβs stopping him from DCAβingβ¦.

Dawg just do $2 then lmao just do something instead of nothing Iβm gonna rip my hair out lmfao
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.
Yeah, I only discuss it with friends when they mention it. There's no point trying to beat a dead horse.
Fortunately/unfortunately, depending on how you see it, everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve
Us included. π€
Yeah, I've made peace with this fact long ago.
If they bring it up it's fair game.
See I could let it go if I just had the balls to tell her to HFSP π
Do it! π
Thursday is the devil on my shoulder




Wait. Is your friend a woman? π
Yes
I see you're a brave one. πΈ
Am I? Havenβt done it yet lol
I'm sensing sexual tension. π€
Youβre not wrong π
Careful there. βοΈπ
I always wrap it up π«‘
Do you know if heβs paycheck to paycheck?
She goes out to eat everyday
NGMI
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.
truth π
It is hard but itβs 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 thatβs all it took? Lmao. She has an average job so she shouldnβt feel entitled to do the things that she does. Spending more than you earn is crazy. Iβm starting to believe that being poor is a mindset.

Yes, being poor is certainly a mindset, excepting people experiencing famine, disease, war, etc.
That's at least $12 cuck bucks per day. My brother has basically eaten a cheeseburger and fries every day for 20 years.
After a long enough time-span, It will effect her health too.
Those are real poor people. The rest are poor by choice maybe?
It is already hurting her health. Sheβs gotten chubby. I remember telling her about how bad seed oils were and she would agree, then order McDonaldβs through DoorDash late at night and say βbut Iβm hungry and need to eat something.β


Chubby is just the beginning. She's killing herself one day at a time. She should check her bloodwork and expect type 2 diabetes, high blood-pressure, and a whole lot more.
Or...She can stop eating fries and stack sats.
I know many sat stackers don't like vegtables, but spinach and olive oil + balsamic vinegar is better than french fries in my opinion.
Spinach is pretty bad, itβs full of oxalates lol. But the rest of what youβre 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 itβs gone up 4x in value. She sees herself getting fat. Sheβs a woman so thereβs no way it has snuck up on her. And she remembers everything I said about seed oils. She doesnβt 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?
Maybe not design but poor by programming. And few people break out of it. Sad.
Gotcha.
I'll stick with design because I think fiat money is designed to extract wealth from the poor and route it to the pockets of the rich. I think society is largely designed around monetary value, which would explain why schools don't teach about finances, debt, inflation, taxation, gold, Bitcoin, Austrian economics, etc.
We're close enough though. ππ€
Being inside the matrix sucks hardcore.
Being inside the matrix, talking about how others are inside the matrix is a wildly retarded predicament π
I have to reflect every so often whether I'm still in any kind of matrices lol
Same. I wonder if itβs not a binary thing. Like you may be on a matrix spectrum. I could still be in the matrix regarding health but outside of the matrix regarding money.


I'm currently thinking along the lines of, you're always within one belief system or another. But the spectrum of how Matrix it is depends on how much physical power you can exert within it. THE Matrix being a purely abstract system with no ability to exert watts to have any autonomy.
Okay loweryππ«‘
I'm so locked in on Softwar now π€£
I canβt get over the possibility that heβs a spook
Would that make his theory wrong by default?
He is a spook. But that's ad hominem critique at best.
No but the incentive to write about his position could be fucked. Statist vibes.
True but it is something to be suspicious of. Like lopp working as a shitcoin custody manager. Itβs a red flag.
No? Militaries are actually pretty good and developing practical technology. And I can only assume they're taking Bitcoin seriously with Lowery within it.
I'm take the very un-humble stance that it has value because I consider it valuable. And I'm a very good judge of ideas.
Considering how there's a whole section about how proof of stake is garbage in Softwar, I think we're safe in that regard.
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.
I donβt see the difference between the military and the state. The military is part of the state.
A large part of softwar is actually dedicated to making that distinction. The profession of war fighting predates governments after all. And were often used to overthrow bad ones in the non-fiat days.

My friend just needs to buy the top G hustlers course π
After paying $50 a month you definitely become the bottom G.

Some people donβt want to be saved
They like to complain and be the victims. Theyβre comforted by the excuses they wear.
Yes it is a state of mind.
I bet 5,000 sats he drives a nicer car than me.
Iβm sure she does π
Probably a starbucks a day fits?
Donβt talk to me until Iβve had my coffee full of microplastics π«‘
βMy friend likes Andrew Tateβ
First mistake
Itβs not the worst person to like π

Idk who that is but heβs ugly af
I'll bet he has more than one chair.
She has many chairs π
Update on my friend that was βtoo brokeβ to afford a $5 DCA. She is buying a kitten for $600. NGMI HFSP.
Should I send her this video of her favorite influencer?π€£
View quoted note β
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.
I thought Biden was president when he went to jail. Also where is the evidence? Those are large claims.
Trafficker or not, I'm too lazy to do the digging, Tate is selling the laziest sleaziest fiat veneer form of masculinity that no real man would ever fall for.
Great act for convincing teen boys you are tough, but you look like an insecure twat to any real man.
The main problem with him is that heβs a scammer. His hustlers university is a pyramid scheme
I wish someone made decent content on masculinity for misguided youth.
Problem is, real men are too busy doing manly shit to make 15 hours of content a week talking about how much manly shit they did.
Itβs out there but there are a lot of βmanlyβ things you can do and most men donβt do everything. So you have to be specific in what youβre looking for.
