$100k feels more significant by the day.

Bitcoin will break $100k when you get a PR on your deadlift. Hey, I don't make the rules.

Being a Bitcoiner, Black Friday is very different. I don't shop deals anymore because in Bitcoin terms, I know the price will come down. I buy what I need and/or what I want to support and it's a much purer form of transacting. In other words, I buy not due to external circumstances, but because of internal values. I've grown in understanding what I'm about as a result. Bitcoin really does make you a better person if you let it.

Looks like they've done something to my youtube channel where I can't really post any updates anymore. TGFN.

Listened to the Marc Andreesen Rogan podcast. A few things that stood out to me as a Bitconer: * Andreesen using the debanking as an excuse for the NFT and DeFi crash was serious cope. * He claims that you need a blockchain for signatures to prove a public persona wrote something official<facepalm>. Dude, just use Nostr, no blockchain necessary! * He doesn't like saying Bitcoin, but he kept bringing up crypto to try to pump his bags, associating it with the Trump win. Anyway, he's clearly smart, but is still a "crypto" VC.

We live in a society full of sell-outs that get mad at you for not selling out yourself. That's a fiat zombie trying to make you a fiat zombie as well.

Most people are caught in a weird place where they want stuff but hate working and thinking about money. Unsurprisingly, this doesn't lead to great outcomes.

This is about the time that we all start thinking about the goals and dreams that we'v had for years coming closer to reality. It's an exciting time because the goal is within reach. But it's also anxiety inducing. Will this goal I have be a disappointment? What will I be looking forward to after this? It's enough that many just don't go through with it. But here's the thing. In the fiat world, goals are far enough out there that you can chase them your whole life and not get there. So we've become used to being aspirational without actually expecting to achieve what we've set out to do. It's self-deception, to keep us slogging through the fiat grind. But this is the Bitcoin world and goals are achievable because we have savings that's not debasing. So when we get to that goal, it can be a little disorienting because in the back of our minds, the fiat mentality was always there expecting some disappointment to set us back. We need to learn to live. This is why we say that you have to learn how to win. It's not enough to get close. As we embark on another bull run, remember to live and to win.

Speculative attacks are wild fires and fiat money is very dry and flammable tinder.
