Sunday Thoughts I believe heaven, hell, and purgatory are all states of consciousness that we experience during human life. I believe I've experienced all three during my life already at different points. Heaven - a state of consciousness where nothing is missing. Characterized by love, peace, and calm contentment. Hell - a state of consciousness where everything is missing. Characterized by fear, anxiety, and depression. Purgatory - a state of consciousness where everything feels a little bit out of reach. Full of longing and the feeling that some things are okay, but some things are missing. I find myself more and more spiritual these days but less religious. The problem I have with organized religion is the dogma (I'm allergic to dogma) and the focus on the afterlife. From my perspective, Christ's message was all about building the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. During your life. Inside your own mind, body, and spirit. Christ's two essential commands? Love one another. Do not be afraid. If we can do those two things, we can build heaven on Earth for ourselves and the people around us. I believe there may be a need to go through hell and purgatory during our lifetimes (through our state of consciousness) in order to reach heaven. Perhaps even multiple times. Perhaps each individual is going through challenges in life in order to find their own path to heaven on Earth. God bless you and yours 🙏

I lean into my weirdness. I let my freak flag fly.

In 2022, I was ranting and raving to my girlfriend at the time about #Bitcoin. She said, "I think you're spending too much time in niche communities on the internet." I was deep down the rabbit hole, to be fair. I probably seemed a bit crazy. It was also a bear market, FTX collapse, etc. Well, now she's my ex and Bitcoin is up over 660% in 3 years. As they say, "the riches are in the niches." Thanks, Bitcoin Twitter & Nostr 😂😂😂

There is something deeply troubling about the trend towards "artificial everything." Artificial intelligence Artificial food Artificial relationships Artificial (augmented) reality Remember that a synonym for artificial is fake. A society wide push to implement the artificial implies that there is something wrong with the natural. Who says there is anything wrong with the natural? Are we so dissatisfied with the natural that we have to build a fake reality for our consciousness to live in? I predict that there will be a massive, global backlash against "artificial everything." As it turns out, humanity will be okay with the flaws inherent its nature. It will recognize the majesty of the natural and it will reject the artificial writ large. Or maybe I'm completely wrong and we'll be living in a world that looks like a combination of "Her," "I, Robot," and "Black Mirror." 😅

Hello, friends. I will be making my #Bitcoin conference speaking debut at BTC in D.C. on September 30th - October 1st. Will be moderating a panel called "Bitcoin: The New American Dream." The event venue is The John F. Kennedy Center for The Arts. How appropriate that we'll be in that building talking about freedom tech and the future we want to build in the USA. Wish me luck, and come hang out if you want. Code "SOVEREIGN" for 10% off tickets. 🫡🇺🇸 btcindc.com

- Separate money from the State. - Disempower the State, and the private interests that puppeteer the State to their own benefit (Death Economy). - Remove the State's power to commit crimes against humanity with zero consequences. - Build a Life Economy based on voluntary association, freedom, and autonomy. This is the vision. #Bitcoin

We are living at a time where it is possible to safeguard one's own wealth in an invisible, impenetrable, treasure chest in cyberspace. Without having to trust anyone else. Incredibly grateful to be experiencing this with you all. Truly a blessing. #Bitcoin

Sick of the Left? Buy Bitcoin. Sick of the Right? Buy Bitcoin. Sick of the wars overseas? Buy Bitcoin. Sick of the central banks? Buy Bitcoin. Sick of Wall Street? Buy Bitcoin. Sick of the Epstein coverup? Buy Bitcoin. You don't win by trying to reform the old system from within that system. You win by playing an entirely new game outside of the system. You win by taking your economic power into your own hands and starving the parasites in the old system. #Bitcoin
