Debt, the amount of debt that people take on to buy useless shit, is in my opinion, are willfully being indentured servants.
Trying to save, and watching the representation of my life's work be eroded by monetary policy.
Movies like fight club, office space, and zeitgeist came out when I was a young man. They most likely left a last impression on how I view the world and work.
Can't really pin it on any one thing really, becoming a Bitcoin maxi was where I was always meant to end up I think.
BTC only, all the other options will come and go. Bitcoin will end up being the king of all currencies.
Loaded questions by charity panhandlers. Got asked by green peace if I cared about the environment once, and I said no. The butt hurt reaction was totally worth it.
Theo is great! I really enjoyed the podcasts he did with the trucker, and the NYC garbage man. His guests seem to be more relaxed on his show, compared to others. Makes for better content I think.
Thanks for sharing
I regret not looking after myself better sooner. Remember folks; maintain a healthy weight, take care of your skin and teeth.
This is used as a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and yes it does work for helping one feel calm, relaxed and focused.
I'm still a slave — I still work, pay taxes, and pay for a mortgage in fiat.
Being orange-pilled has made me more resilient. Instead of feeling defeated by the system, I embrace my role as a stoker. The little fiat I have left over gets shoveled into the firebox and turned into Bitcoin, which has become a way to propel myself and my family toward a financially secure future.
A good example of this is the impact Trump has had on the stock market in the past few weeks. So many people have been running around like headless chickens, scared and spreading their FUD. My hodlings are still up, and the dip has only given me another opportunity to stack more sats.
At the very least, I get to experience freedom — even if it's just in my own mind. Something that most normies would never get to experience.
I know a couple of people who understand bitcoin, or mined some in the early days but feel like they have missed the boat because they sold up, or lost it.
I don't know anyone who aligns with sovereignty or freedom where I live. Their idea of an ideal world is expecting the government or local council to do everything for them.
Being a Firefighter would be pretty rewarding, and there is a kind of camaraderie that cannot be found anywhere else.
As a kid, I liked to tinker with electronics, so wanted to be an electrical repairman of some sort.
I lost a shitload of weight in a short amount of time doing my own version snake diet. (Omad, with 48-72 hour fasts once a week) That was a lot of fun, and seeing results right away kept me motivated.
Nowadays, I'm just eating better with more physical activity. I prefer this way because I don't need to adjust my attitude, and can still enjoy the occasional treat.
Keep your Bitcoin off exchanges, they will all end up going belly up at some point, best avoid.
Shitcoins - why waste your time being scammed, when you can instead spend more time learning about Bitcoin.
Avoid worrying about the price of Bitcoin in fiat, it goes up and it goes down. Hodl long term and you will simply be better off.
Growing up in my household, we always celebrated Easter in the pagan sense. I associate both bunnies and eggs with celebrating spring and fertility.
And yeah, chocolate eggs are just cadburys and your local dentists run at your wallet. Better to stack sats and enjoy the longer weekend in good health.
I guess I'm a 'Blue zone' maxi. I've deliberately gone out of my way to find a place where my family has access to clean food, and water.
Environmental issues - I'm a maxi for awareness of the damage invasive species can/will do. Near where I live there are signs up warning of Gold Clam, which is an invasive species that can really fuck shit up here. Can't be complacent about this shit.
Other hills I'm willing to die on: full drug legalization, anti violence - particularly physical violence, and life long, access to free education for all.
I use to play World of Warcraft and Aion back in the day. For WoW, I would play around 14-15 hours a day whenever an expansion dropped. Aion on the other hand was pure grind, would often play around 16 hours a day, possibly more. grinding the same elite area or dungeons.
This question reminds me of the Stephen King Novel 11/22/63. I'd worry about the impact that would have on others around me, and as well as my own ego. From others perspective it might get quite frustrating seeing someone win at absolutely everything. I'll probably get over confident with taking huge risks, which might cause tension with my loved ones. If I could do it only once though, it would be a day before a major lottery draw, win it, live it and if that doesn't work out - I'll have a save point to return to.
