Business Question… If I have a proforma and financial statement for my business but I won’t get my first business wire until end of Jan but need working capital (without selling my bitcoin or using my personal credit) in mean time, is there a way to do that if the payments are contractually coming in and I can prove our financial statements, and that I’m at 91.5% profit margin for net operating income, and company has 0 debt? I wasn’t sure. Haven’t done this before… and banks are frustrating with new companies… #plebchain #nostr #asknostr

Unpopular opinion: "Fighting for our rights" is a misunderstanding of the protocol. Bitcoin doesn't care about your rights. It cares about your verification. We have spent 17 years in the trenches proving the base layer works. That job is done. The network is antifragile. But too many of us are still addicted to the adrenaline of the fight. We are tilting at windmills while the real work sits mostly untouched. We possess the ONLY pristine collateral in the world. The legacy system is mathematically guaranteed to debase itself into irrelevance. You don't fight a melting ice cube… you build the ark that replaces it. Every hour spent arguing policy is an hour lost building: -Scalability (Lightning/Ark) - Privacy (Coinjoin/Silent Payments) - Sovereignty (Freedom tech) We have the upper hand because we hold the keys. Stop acting like the opposition. Start acting like the incumbents. Build the tools that make the old world obsolete. If you aren't building something in your vertical, you're just a spectator with a bag. The code is the victory. Everything else is noise. Go build. 🧱 #plebchain #bitcoin #nostr

McKinsey just accidentally wrote the ultimate bull case for Bitcoin. They dropped a new report on the "Future of Risk". The TLDR: The legacy system is fragile, blind, and panicking. They admit "uncertainty is up 9x" and "assurance is dead". While they tell banks to build "nerve centers" to survive, Bitcoiners are already immune. Here is the breakdown: “Assurance is Dead" McKinsey explicitly says quarterly audits and sample testing are dead. They can't keep up with the speed of risk. TradFi Solution: Spend billions trying to build "digital twins" of their balance sheets. The Reality: They are trying to recreate what we already have. The Mempool and Timechain are the only real time, 100% auditable monitoring that exists. We are decades ahead. 9x Geopolitical Chaos The "World Uncertainty Index" is 9x higher than 20 years ago. Capital flows are being weaponized. The Edge: You don't need a "Geopolitical Pulse Check" pod. You need an asset with zero counterparty risk and zero allegiance to any state. Self-custody is the only hedge against a weaponized financial system. Single Points of Failure They are terrified of "interconnected contagion" where one cyber event nukes the whole chain. The Edge: While they try to patch their centralized silos, we build on a decentralized protocol designed to survive nuclear disconnects. No CEO to sanction. No cloud provider to de-platform. The Rise of Agents McKinsey envisions a workforce of "hybrid squads" of bots and agents. The Edge: They want "ethics stewards" to oversee AI. We just give the AI a Lightning wallet and cryptographic rules. Agents can't KYC…they will use sats. We don't need oversight; we have verification. The takeaway for the Sovereign Individual: Banks are reacting to uncertainty by hiring armies of risk managers. Bitcoiners preempt uncertainty by opting out of the system that creates it. You are your own Nerve Center. #Bitcoin #PlebChain #Nostr #Sovereignty

My mom showed me tonight she’s been dollar cost averaging Bitcoin for TWO years… 🥹 WTF. I can’t believe she never told me. After all these years of me trying to OP her… After all those dinners where she told me to please stop talking about Bitcoin… Mission FINALLY complete. ✅ Both parents: fully onboarded.

Good morning and merry Christmas! I was trying to find a company that needed my skillset but hard to find on LinkedIn, so I built a network myself. For sovereign workers, bitcoin companies, shop from Bitcoiners, sell your work, and more. First 100 users get a genesis block forever. Same with the first 100 businesses. We create the bitcoin world we want… this was something I thought I could contribute. Still building, still growing, and grateful for all of you. Thank you to those of you that check it out. 🙏 #bitcoinbusinessnetwork #plebchain #puravida

It never happens how you foresee it. Energy has a law of diminishing return at any state if contained too long: In the pause In the go In withdraw Stand still for too long, and the world strides on without you. Assert too long, and you miss things along the way. Change the path too much and never reap the fruit of your labor. The key is to trust the intuitive nudges. Resist the urge to dominate, but instead dance with the currents. Act when you know you should. Pause when you’re overwhelmed or need to ground. Retain from force, and flow WITH the energy. What’s meant for you has always been. What is not yours will resist harmony. Don’t waste years waiting for change to happen. You are the journey itself.

Don't worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.

Your nervous system heals every time you allow anger to be heard. Your nervous system heals every time you allow fear to be felt. Your nervous system heals every time you validate your tears. Your nervous system heals every time you lean into discomfort. Your nervous system heals every time you express instead of suppress. Your nervous system heals when you reconnect with its natural rhythm, it's primal wisdom, and it's ancient release of feeling, emotion and sensation. So are you letting yourself feel?
