Chilling to think that phone and internet are cutoff in Iran to work to hide a massacre of unarmed citizens. Prayers for the freedom loving Persians who are bravely taking a stand against decades of tyranny.

Jesus, Family, Bitcoin. The older I get the more I realize that nothing is 100% reliable, but these three are real bedrock from which a foundation can be built.

I’m beginning to think temperature is the next psyop. 32 degrees this morning. Real cold and hard to get moving. Despite this, I decided not to put my space heater on for my garage workout. Jumped rope and boxed between sets of weights and I’m pretty certain I’m sitting in the Caribbean in July right now despite it saying 32 degrees.

I absolutely love NOSTR. Developers, foodies, nature lovers, meme-lords, musicians, Bitcoiners and others checking in to remind one another it’s going to be OK. #WAGMI X marks the spot where nihilism, conspiracy and an algo fed, giant black-pill suppository is delivered infinitely. Closing X for good.

GM Nostr! Reminder that no matter what the season is where you live, its always a good time to get lost outside! Its dead-ass winter here….easy to sit by the fire and wish the cold away. I was able to get lost in the mountains on Friday and out on the river for some fishing yesterday and feel completely recharged. While ₿ may be digital freedom, spiritual freedom is still found in meatspace…preferably outdoors.

All of the recent news out of Minnesota reminds me why I started converting my savings to Bitcoin in 2021. Yes NGU is nice, but this was always about opting in to a non-violent means of separating money from state. The rebelution is just getting started.

“The world is NOT your oyster….the world IS an oyster” Its tradition here to shuck a case of oysters around the holidays. This year, Raspberry Points. I was reminded of a conversation with a friend about the above saying. He contends that the world isn’t a beautiful, briny shucked oyster served on a platter of ice. It’s the hard, sharp closed oyster waiting to be extracted from its shell. You need the right tools, the right plan and effort to succeed. You may cut yourself in the process if not careful, but the reward is well worth the effort. The world is an oyster…..I like that.
