Friendship, in its highest form, is a crucible. A true friend is not a reflection of your image but a reminder of your becoming.
Real friends do not feed your ego. They guard your soul. They care about your aim more than your reach, and they speak when you drift from your center.
That is the kind of friendship worth building here. One that values truth over comfort and accountability over applause.
Real community is not built by always agreeing. It is built by honesty.
Your mission as a Bitcoin operator is simple…survive long enough for the system to exhaust itself. Stack sats. Run a node. Self custody your keys. Maintain operational security. Don’t get caught up in the noise. Don’t break discipline chasing shitcoins or leverage trading or promises of 100x returns. That’s how operators get separated from their unit and picked off. The mission is survival, accumulation, and transmission of knowledge to the next wave of recruits. Gm and PV

Readiness isn’t about intelligence. It’s about necessity meeting curiosity.
