Damus has been stuck for a week. I may just delete and reinstall.

Still here, still stacking. Still fighting for the only money that matters. #bitcoin

May start investing in European water companies.

The only thing more scarce than bitcoin is a glass of water in Europe.

At the Prague Zoo, not a sticker over lay. Bitcoin, Honey badger!

In Dresden, with 0.5 L Radeberger Pilsner.

Watching grown men go to the ground with light contact, crying like newborns, is pitiful.

Soccer is an enjoyable game; unfortunately, played by beta males.

Divoka Šárka in Prague

The dogs in Prague are so well behaved. So strange!

Jedno Pivo, Prosim.

On departure from the uber, Dekuji (DYEH-koo-yee) - he laughed but was super excited I was doing my best.

Doing my best to learn a few words.

I have never been to Prague, so I am spending a lot of time with the family and not sure how much of the conference I will attend.

If any bitcoiners are getting dinner or meeting up, would like to say hello.

Made it to Prague.

Leaving for Prague.

I was unable to bench press 225 lbs yesterday.

I will try again in 6 weeks.

Zero percent chance I am not doing reps with 225 in 6 months.

For now, I remain one of the 95% of men who cannot BP 225.

Start a fitness journey today.

Dropping in to say, I’m still here. I came to bitcoin for freedom, not fiat games.

The best way to run a successful urology practice is to pay the doctors as little as possible.

The TB Rays swept the Yankees and are tied for first in the AL East.

Workout complete,

Many people in the space, particularly those who bought in the early cycles, believed themselves to be “bigger than bitcoin.”

They are crashing out.

Stay humble.

Time to spend 1.25 hours with these weights.

I went to a game at Tropicana field yesterday evening. The Rays beat the Yankees. It was a great game.

The tickets for the upper level were not even sold. The lower level was full. The demand is poor (sad).

I have always enjoyed watching games at The Trop.

Check the security of your private keys. I just had a friend lose 0.75 BTC

225 deadlift.

Good Morning. TB Rays 26 man Roster.

A date with the truth teller. The weights never lie.

Not the outcome we were hoping for.

Brothers and sisters of NOSTR, my friend, Manilavanilla's first NOSTR post.

Love the starcraft reference.

Opening Day for Tampa Bay!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, the Executive Branch, and arguably the Supreme Court….

But somehow, the partial government shutdown is the democrats fault?

63% of Americans, ~50% of democrats want the SAVE act passed, the republicans can’t get it done.

The bank lobby has destroyed any chance of meaningful bitcoin legislation while our developers are being imprisoned.

We are involved in another War.

Those are just a few examples.

Our government has failed the people on ALL levels.

The democrats want MORE government. Why would we want more of this absolute incompetence?

There is plenty of blame to go around, but at some point, the good people in our country must stand up and fight for the future.

Our children need us. I’m sure we could put many of our differences aside and find a way forward.

Good Morning!

With the help of Claude, I am now running my own nostr relay.

Nostr pairs nicely with bitcoin.

I am going to spend more time on NOSTR. X is simply depressing.

I believe my nostr.build account has expired. I am having trouble renewing.

Opening Day. James and I at a pre-season pirates game.

Private stable coins are slightly better than CBDCs, but still allow the state to survey and censor.

Thesis:

Bitcoin in self custody is worth more than 68k per coin.

If anybody from block would be interested, I could really use a software developer/engineer to help automate many of the processes in my medical practice.

Could pay in fiat or bitcoin.

Hourly Rate would be competitive.

This video from

hits so hard because he is talking about what makes bitcoin beautiful.

Spare me the ETFs, NGU, Jim Cramers, Macros, MSTRs.

THIS IS BITCOIN CONTENT.

I updated the site:

https://welikethecoin.com/

Included

I didn't want to get left behind, so I am learning to "vibe code." I updated my website in less than 20 mins. Prior, it was basically just a drag and drop list of useful links. What do you think of the first iteration?

https://welikethecoin.com/

Brothers, Sisters….

Hold the line. Stay strong. I know this feels bad. It hurts.

The future is uncertain, but the world needs money separate from state.

Freedom money is more valuable than 70k per coin. I’m not clear on why it’s not playing out the way I would have predicted. But this is real life.

HODL with me.

Bitcoin maximalists didn’t go hard enough. Do better.

Good morning.

bitcoin in self custody along with Bitcoin node = freedom.

freedom is worth more than 90k per coin.

Thank you for not buying. I had to move money from my old 401k into unchained so I could secure real bitcoin within a pre tax retirement plan. The process took 3 weeks.

I have completed the roll over and have the bitcoin in self custody. You can resume buying, or selling, but I’m happy the price stayed sub 90k while the money was in transit.

Me and a good friend, fighting the freedom haters since 2018.

My core investment thesis is:

Freedom.

GM and happy Monday. ☕️

This week I will purchase over 500k USD worth of freedom.

I will keep fighting for bitcoin.

It’s the best tool we have to take power away from the people who are currently ruling over us.

And, today, it works.

Bitcoin is digitally scarce with a supply cap of 21 million coins*

*An infinite number of bitcoin exist ‘OTC’

Keep selling your freedom. I will keep buying it.

The ETFs and banks are good for bitcoin. A means of distribution; a 3rd scaling layer.

However, we must never forget WHY bitcoin has any value to begin with. How was Bitcoin able to go from zero to a 2 trillion dollar asset class? What features ultimately forced the banks and traditional finance into submission? From a talk forum to Main Street.

The psychopaths writing code, running nodes, contributing to rough consensus, promoting self custody, educating, home mining, creating circular economies…

These are the protectors of Bitcoin. If we ever lose them, the ETFs won’t matter because Bitcoin will wither away.

Happy Friday homies. 🙏

Everybody, especially children, wants to “fit in.” We are a social species.

But, there is no need to try and be “like everybody else.”

Our differences make the world more beautiful and interesting.

Very soon, everybody will let me know how lucky I am.

HODLing, buying more, continuing to champion self custody and node running, helping to promote mining decentralization….

Now, I’m an “idiot, low IQ gambler.”

Soon enough, “it was all luck.”

The traditional financial system is no comparison to using bitcoin.

I am rolling over my 401k to @unchained

1. Sell MSTR in the self directed brokerage

2. Wait two days for trade to clear

3. Send funds from SDB to main 401k account

4. Wait two days for this to clear

5. Request a check which must be mailed to me personally, then to unchained (Fortis)

6. Wait 4 days for check to process

7. Finally, buy bitcoin and the pain will be over

I will be much happier when the funds are secured with unchained 2/3 MS

Atlas Urology continues to convert 12% of POS to bitcoin. The treasury for my medical practice is in bitcoin:

I also run SouthEast US land holdings, "SEUSL". Our Treasury is in bitcoin:

Banks and nation states were forced to adopt bitcoin.

As bitcoin grows and becomes financialized the remnant must continue to protect the protocol.

Nation states and banks may never grok the features that set Bitcoin apart. But, if the remnant doesn’t protect bitcoin, the project will die.

Protect bitcoin, regardless of price.

‘All’ of the bitcoin are secured by a private key(s).

The key is secured by an individual, a group of individuals, or a business.

6.15 or bust.

Few.

I didn’t read the Clarity Act.

I use bitcoin because it operates independent of tyrannical governments.

I would prefer 3,000 USD per bitcoin and absolute monetary freedom over 1 million per coin.

Any inbound would be appreciated.

After listening to the @saylor interview with @_DannyKnowles , I am glad I am no longer a share holder of MSTR.

I sold 500k last week and plan to sell more this week.

He refers to Danny as "ignorant and offensive" and berates him throughout the interview for asking simple questions.

I wish Saylor and MSTR shareholders well, but I am glad to be out.

We went on a Disney Cruise over the New Year.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Tax deez nuts

Me and Norah putting together the Disney Wonder set…

Sentiment hasn’t been this low in quite some time. I don’t know whether to buy more or sell my basis.

I feel some peace knowing I have my life savings secured on the bitcoin network.

I am disgusted with the government and don’t trust the banks.

I will hodl.

She is stunningly beautiful, and the sweater reads “Silk Road, Anonymous Market.”

Still converting 12% of Atlas POS business to bitcoin using square.

Still accepting bitcoin for urologic care.

Still believe privacy is a human right.

Still holding, running 2 bitcoin nodes and 1 lightning node.

Still believe in smaller government.

Still believe in separating money from state.

Still believe in bitcoin.

Still here.

You are all bitches. I would never charge the front lines of the state with 90% of you.

An embarrassment to the movement. Sell your bitcoin and move on to your next grift.

I’ll be here, holding the line with the remnant.

Block rollout last week was 🔥

Privileged to be using block at Atlas Urology.

12% of all POS sales auto converted to bitcoin. We prefer and accept bitcoin payments and block has made the experience 10/10.

Good morning.

Damus is the best client I have ever used to access NOSTR.
