🎙️My interview is coming out Thursday with Dr Jack Kruse. He told me straight: "You are from Zimbabwe, you live in Miami, and you look like Casper the Friendly Ghost." 🤣 Dr Kruse does not hold back in this interview.

I am working on my tan and grounding in Zimbabwe, Dr. Jack. There was no way to avoid this trip due to family commitments. Thanks for your insights!

⚡️My brother has been to the ER 3 times this month.

First, they said heart. I said unlikely, check his lungs.

Next time, pulmonary thrombosis from too much travel. Blood thinners helped.

Then gallstones. Emergency surgery needed. I said no way, question that. Now, no gallstones.

Latest theory? A bad case of Covid from Japan 😂 (he travels a lot).

It’s serious. He doesn’t feel right, and they seem to have no clue.

I’m not a doctor and don’t give advice. I just remind him to question things that don’t make sense.

Meanwhile, I put on my own oxygen mask, do my best to stay healthy, and stack sats even when I don’t feel like it. 🧡 #bitcoin #family #freedom

✨ Had a wonderful chat with @JeffBooth about whether Bitcoin is still decentralized and secure, and whether he thinks it’s been captured.

Jeff is one of the people I trust most in Bitcoin, and some BIP110 supporters may not agree with his perspective. Jeff sees Bitcoin from a higher perspective than most.

Please keep an open mind and watch the full interview for the whole perspective.

While contemplating life and Bitcoin by the ocean today, I concluded:

No one seems to have all the answers. I certainly don’t.

BIP110 didn’t go as planned. I never said it would pass. I simply believed in the message behind it, while others didn’t. Consensus won. I respect that.

Being right is nice, but being kind is more important to the soul.

Words can hurt, but they don’t define the person you criticize or call names. They define you.

Sound money and Bitcoin matter in my life.

I hope Bitcoin wins. But other things matter too.

Let’s move forward, disagree with respect, learn from each other, grow and keep pushing for a better world 🧡

🌞Woke up thinking about Bitcoin and self custody again.

“Don’t trust, verify” has been haunting me. The reality is that many of us still have to trust wallet makers, exchanges, and Bitcoin companies.

My heart goes out to everyone who had their Bitcoin stolen. The thieves are responsible for the crime. The company bears responsibility for its failures. I also take responsibility for the trust I placed in them.

If we want to onboard millions more Bitcoiners, we must keep making self custody simpler, safer, and more resilient.

The Bitcoin world I want to live in is built on respect, self sovereignty, personal responsibility, and continuous improvement.

Like a phoenix, Bitcoiners will rise.

When it gets too hot in the kitchen, get out in nature 🧡⚡️😉

Bitcoin is best focused on being the world’s best money.

Meet my Bitcoin cat🐈

Her name is Feisty because she’s a little volatile.

She was mistreated by her previous owners before she came to live with us. Today she’s loving, gentle, kind… and still a little feisty at times.

Healing takes time.

Maybe volatility does too.

In the meantime, enjoy the ride, know what you have, and trust the journey. ⚡️🧡 #lovecats #bitcoin #volatility

Alekqs says “Without self custody, every Bitcoin feature is an illusion.” ⚡️🧡

"We traded our time for money. Our presence for ambition. Our simplicity for status. Only to discover the finish line was the starting line."

Bitcoin changes this!

Had a great chat with @Nicki on why Bitcoin isn't replacing crypto. It's replacing the dollar. We also discuss self custody, AI, privacy, using Bitcoin, and what the older generation doesn't know about Gen Z.
