If you’re into decentralized medicine and freedom tech I have a term I’d like to coin: FREEDOM MEDICINE

Freedom medicine is decentralized. Freedom medicine is open source. Freedom medicine uncensorable. Freedom medicine teaches you that you can treat yourself and your loved ones Freedom medicine is not that hard Freedom medicine because we can just do stuff

More to come

Good morning everyone ☕️
Someone once told me that cold foam doesn’t go on hot coffee. I beg to differ

I’ve been thinking recently just how the simplicity of hospitality is no longer a thing.

How fun it used to be to get invited to someone’s house… for a meal, for dessert, for the kids play date. But now it doesn’t seem to be in anyone’s bag of fun things to do.

Yes, it means I have to clean house, at least some. Yes it means I have to serve something. But men (and I am talking to you men) there is no reason we can’t lead in this. We can encourage this in our family. The blessings of hospitality are many.

Christian, are you given to hospitality? Romans 12:13 says we should be.

But before you go into panic mode remember: it doesn’t really matter what you serve. Just do it with love. Your gift to your guests IS your hospitality. It is the fact that you care enough to want to know them more. They (usually) will be thankful. They know how hard it can be to invite guests into their own home.

I recently wanted to know more about the history of coffee. For today, here is a public domain artwork, The Coffee Bearer by John Frederick Lewis (1857).

As this past week has unfolded I have again been made aware of something I noticed before with Bitcoin podcasters and influencers but now has really come into full bloom and that is: The commercial “salesy” side of Bitcoin. Yes I am ready to rant 🐉🤬

Obviously those who have done wrong need to repent and believe, for this is the way. Others who are long on opinions and seek followers who continue making “content” because it’s their business to do so… may be wise to take a step back and learn the lesson that was meant for them to learn. Or not.

Humility isn’t for everyone, as we obviously see. Hopefully some new folks can enter the Bitcoin content production space who have enough humility and integrity to stay humble in their agency while doing so.

I’m not impressed with closed source hardware and I’m even less on the “multi-vendor, multi-sig” trending suggestion I’m hearing from at least one influencer in the space who is promoting his content to include more videos about this exact thing. 🤮 Is the only lesson learned here is that one manufacturer has tainted hardware? I hope that’s not all that’s learned.

How about that 3x ing your hardware lineup at home just:

1. compounded the learning curve for plebs and still you have closed source hardware (software?);

2. increased your reliance on someone else’s hardware or software. Open source great, closed not so much;

3. kick the can further down the road of “I don’t have time to learn my own stewardship of the hardest sovereign money in the earth.

Does anyone else see how foolish this 3x multi vendor hardware concept seems?
Does anyone else want Bitcoin to just be hard money that’s damn hard to steward and secure? I do. And I’ll suck it up and devote more than an average attention span of less than 60 seconds to learn how to do exactly that.

If you are blessed to have children and have a multi-generational vision you can see that you’re teaching your grandkids when teaching your children. In the lyrics of boomer David Crosby, “teach your children well”.

Are you important to bitcoin or is bitcoin important to you?

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand.

Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry or drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”

Roman 13:11-14

If you ever lived a life of revelry and drunkenness, lewdness and lust, strife and envy (like me) then you know that it is not the path to the light. He who has ears to hear let him hear.

So I used to use nostr to write fun and interesting stuff and then.. I know it can do much more but it wasn’t much fun anymore. I thought I was just getting tired of social media.

Then

shows me what he made, Nostr Vault, that is a Nostr client AND a Nostr relay.

He built it because he wanted to decentralize the storage of his own notes to his own system. That just makes sense. Why don’t we all do that? I’m testing it now and so far it’s going great! Thanks Logen for building it and making nostr fun again.

Found a great source for fresh turmeric out of Florida. IYKYK I’ve got a great recipe for green smoothie that can include this. 😋💪

GM my nostr friends. Depending on who reads this this may be the most important thing you read today; this book is one you need to deep dive into. It’s a gem. Don’t trust, verify.

Because, a multigenerational vision will begins by being centered in Christ, marrying well, and training up children who take up what they’ve been taught so their grandchildren can also lead their families well. that’s why

Can you see it yet? #coffeechain #homeschooling #marriedlife #family #bitcoin

20 years ago my daughter was born on this day. She was/is very special and dear. If you have little ones train them up well. The sacrifice is worth it.

In less than 40 days she will enter the covenant of marriage. She has more wisdom than many twice her age. She will be a great wife and mother and we could not be more proud.

If I can have a car like this I’ll stay closer to home. #keepitsimple

Recently attending a first responder retirement for some brothers I observed something I hadn’t noticed before. There were some young guys (who arrived on duty, in uniform) who genuinely wanted to talk with the older guys. Several came up to me and told me they’d heard about me (not sure what that meant- good or bad). I looked over my shoulder, were they talking to me? They were.

I’m thankful I had the opportunity back in the day to mentor some dudes coming up. It was SO good to see the men I had worked with and did life with for a long time. I had no idea the effect of our old friendship with a few of them until I saw them. The masks were off, the authenticity was sincere, and the love was strong. Here were men I had known fairly well but had long missed due to circumstances beyond my control. I digress.

But the interest the young bucks seemed to have, wanting to understand and talk with us old dogs, it was refreshing to see. Energizing in fact. It gives me hope that there’s a generation coming up that wants to learn how to do their craft with excellence. If you’re perfecting your craft, becoming excellent at what it is you do… I like you already. In fact, I love you guys (and girls). Keep digging in, honing your excellence, and never never give up.

Here’s to the next generation! 🫡

Learned today that I would be taking my 21 y/o son with special needs to his sleep study this evening.

If you have an imagination, imagine a night on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, trying to get all the EEG electrodes in someone who has sensory overload and doesn’t handle it well. That’s kind of it. Just tryin to keep it real. This young man is a gentle giant though and wouldn’t hurt a fly.

Anyway, shout out to all the mom’s and dad’s of kids with something special going on. You make the world go round.

I’m starting to think the same thing: Tax strikes and boycotts

And he did this before you knew Him. How can he do such a thing? Because He is God and he can just do things. Talk about a #proofofwork

GM ☕️

It’s hard to believe how fast they grow up. This daughter is getting married in May… She has a desire to be a great mom, a loyal and devoted wife and definitely a great friend. So thankful to be her dad.

When you meet someone like her, you won’t forget. She’s a difference maker.

We are given an opportunity to be fruitful and multiply. It’s our opportunity to create a proof of work right in our homes. Do you see it yet?

GM ☕️ So fun watching my fellow bitcoiners. Lots of advice on how to live. It’s great seeing y’all figure it out. If you’re raising a family you’re on your way.

Long rant, buckle up 🇨🇦🇺🇸 friends

@SBNation Has an article today ragging on Team USA’s men’s hockey gold medal celebration, was “everything the NHL was trying to avoid.” Good, maybe the NHL will pull their collective DEI, woke head out of their —-.

What a bunch of crap. Your take on this was so one sided and politically motivated. Not one word about the honorable conduct they displayed after the game, their respectful shaking hands, the well done and respectful interviews. 🇺🇸

Not one peep about the respectful conduct in the honoring of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau by skating with #13’s jersey on their victory lap and/or bringing the two young Gaudreau children ONTO THE ICE for the team’s championship picture. 🇺🇸 You could not have had a more authentic and sincere and self sacrificial moment than that scene after an epic game like that. RIP Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. @Gaudreau5K

It was one of the hardest fought 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 battles for the gold medal ever. The first period was the fastest hockey anyone has probably ever seen (IMO). Both teams were stacked and either team could have won. Both battled to the absolute end. This is what hockey players do, but that wasn’t the story that was written.

Where have you been for 46 years? Did you even know our guys lost a well fought match back recently at the Four Nations Tournament. It’s 2026 and the tide has shifted, for we have waited forty-six long years for this victory.

News Flash 💥Canadians🇨🇦 that think hockey is “their” game are only trying to convince themselves. Nobody took “your” game. We learned a lot from you. Thank you for being so good at it.

What I witnessed of Team Canada while the silver medals were being given to them was nothing less than a repugnant attitude of “how awful to have to stoop so low as to receive this silver POS with this stupid teddy bear thing”.

Disappointment? Sure.
Angry? Ok.

But what Team Canada displayed during the medal ceremony was more a display of thankless repugnance and less an example of humility and sportsmanship. Y’all play some of the best hockey on earth BUT you are not good sportsmen and we saw what you are made of.

Everyone can tell who winners are by when they lose AND when they win. It just shows. The only graceful receipt of his silver that I watched was Canadian Mark Stone #61.

I have taught others and my own kids both hard work and sportsmanship. @TeamCanada men’s hockey could learn from young kids about how to take a loss. It’s okay to lose a frickin game you idiots. We all know you wanted the gold. Thank you for providing us with the game of a lifetime against Team USA, but know this: the hockey world no longer revolves around Canada. It was your turn to lose gracefully. We all saw how well you received it.

Oh yes, one more thing for Team Canada men’s hockey and SBNation that may cheer them up:

“If at first you don’t succeed, fry, fry a hen”

and I met last night. Really cool business, looking forward to freshen my vehicle with his handmade air freshener kit. Nice work Mike! See you soon.

GM nostr!

It is -6F here, not usual for this area. Do something kind today. It brings a warmth that nothing else does. That and enjoy an excellent cuppa hot joe

GM It’s never too late to read Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Keep reading to your little ones.

I read this to her long ago and guess what she got this Christmas? #reading

GM ☕️

My middle daughter got very dressed up to go to her (second) annual tradition of attending the Nutcracker, with her guy.

I am proud of them, understanding they want to establish traditions in their life together. Making memories is one thing we’ve instilled in our kids: never take today for granted. Make the most of every day, for we only know a small bit of our story.

GM! I found a nice gently used kids guitar at the local thrift. This will be my kid’s second one. First one he beat on pretty good, neck is broken, missing a couple strings now.

He now knows if he were ever to get a new guitar he’d have to treat it much better than his last one. He’s all in, so he says.

Recently he’s been listening to the BeeGees and today he’s into “You Should Be Dancin’”. Thankful for this kid, who doesn’t whine about not enough time on a device. Just pivots to something else like playing “music”. Cultivating low time preference takes time. Seeds sown develop slowly, but it’s the most valuable time I’ve spent. Absolutely rich beyond measure. Also teaching humility which doesn’t come naturally to our sinful flesh.

Anyway, that and homemade sourdough toast,

butter and good conversation with my boys makes this a day to remember. ☕️

Doesn’t always look like this but today this is productivity this morning. Building character, one hour, one day at a time.

GN sleep tight, don’t let the sharks bite

GM!

Circular economy. Some may boast about this or that but I think this is another opportunity to exercise humility. Find basic food items locally and then help others get connected. Lead by example for your kids to emulate. They’re watching you 😊

This may seem a daunting prospect but really it can start simply and small. I’m still learning but I think this is the way.

I’ve been working to onboard some local friends to bitcoin, to accept Lightning payments for food products I currently pay for in fiat. My goal has been to keep money in my local community (who need income!) as they produce food my family will consume. I look in my fridge and say: “what else can I live without or replace with something sourced locally?”

Be encouraged if you’re a producer. Be encouraged if you’re trying to do the above like me. Be encouraged, but most of all keep going, keep pushing forward.

In my previous work as a contractor I once paid a guy for some coaching. One of the best lessons for me was his comment: “80% of the people who want to do business with you don’t know about you yet.”

And here we have nostr, and we can just do stuff.

Saturday I went to the secular religion gathering in Ann Arbor to watch grown men throw a leather thing around and get all excited about numbers and forcing each other to the ground.

Once in a lifetime trip for my son and I, because we could still barely afford to go. Sat near the OSU marching band. 🎶

Stack sats or stack memories? It’s always the dilemma. Was a learning experience for he and I we will not forget, mostly excellent with some great teaching moments 👀😅 Always #homeschooling

Good morning friends

GM!

A fun story of thankfulness.

In listening to various things on YT and coming across

and

talking about

. Now my wife is in the rabbit hole. We have 6 kids (5 at home). Thankful for her helping us figure this out.

We used to be members of Samaritan Ministries and okay experience. Then we needed a better alternative. Another dive into the healthcare “marketplace”. Ha, no. What scam health insurance is/has been/ will be.

We’re heading for Crowd Health, so thank you.

GM friends. We have family in town for early Thanksgiving and had a blast last night. @btcforplebs took family pictures for us and it was actually fun. I can highly recommend him.

Anyway, today is off with the crew to Amish country to get our city slicker fam out in the sticks for a short bit of stimulating the Amish circular economy (with fiat). I can’t help but think Amish families would be WELL served by Bitcoin. Secretly I bet they’re DYOR, just a hunch.

Anyway have a lovely and wonderfully productive and joyful day where you are.

Gnite nostr friends. (My daughter dug this out from 2004). 😂

True story.

Yesterday I saw

post something on nostr about being a customer and, confident I knew what he/sells #hodlbutter (of course), I jumped on board. And… I had no idea what I was about to buy, but knew it must be good.

Thankful that I asked, because I could not have consumed the product that I was about to purchase 😂. A new lesson in: verify. 😂😛

TBH back in the day I would very much enjoyed the extra-terrestrial chocolates. I even have some stories. But that was another time and place (way back there).

At any rate, I look forward to #hodlbutter and trying it with my local raw honey.

Grace and Peace be to you.

GM friends.

Long post, and this is a post for men. Fathers and husbands mostly. But women, be encouraged, this is for your man. Disclosure, I don’t expect all yall to see things my way but that makes it more interesting.

I’ve seen a lot of people posting their declaration/proclamation that family is so important and declaring that on social media. It’s not just out there, it is very noticeable. This is encouraging to see, however a few things come to mind.

First, as a husband you are greatly blessed. To find a wife that you can lay down your life for is no small thing. If you forget that let me remind you of that fact. I say this because I need reminders as well.

I’m kind of pleasantly surprised that people are figuring this out. Pleasantly because family is indeed a blessing. Surprised because it’s been there all along. But it’s good that many are waking up to how important the family is. By this I mean family members in your immediate family, your spouse and your children.

And here is the reminder part. Family can be hard. It’s real hard. But that fact doesn’t change anything about the permanence of family the need for stability and the father’s need to lead his family well. He can learn this even if he doesn’t know how.

One thing he should not do is abandon his family. There are some who will say this is okay for some reason. Maybe in some sense, maybe. But for 99.999% of us men there is no excuse for leaving our wife and children. This has become way too common. I have stories I wish not to tell.

As long as it depends on us we should be reminded that nothing is of higher importance than our wives and children, and we should remember that when it gets hard, because it will.

I’m posting this because I have two sisters in the northwest who do not have any faith to sustain them. BOTH of their husbands recently left them and their children. Neither one of them have faith, neither one have Bitcoin (though I continue to work on their understanding) and both have teenage children.

I know many reading this understand, but men we can not ever think it’s okay to abandon our wife and children. This is a deception sold us in a fiat world of paper lies, temptation and greed.
Thanks for listening and I hope you have a beautiful and wonderful day today! (This is my daughter about 10 years ago isn’t she precious!)
