206 sats \ 4 replies \ @zapsammy 19 Feb \ on: To Fold or to Strike bitcoin
in my case, strike and fold are my only connections to fiat in case of an emergency, and are mostly empty, sitting at zero sats & zero dollars - for example, if there is ever an emergency, and i must use a card, then i can push LN -> Strike -> Fold -> make payment. otherwise, the preferred method is to pay for as many life needs as possible with sats directly, or have someone get me what i need for sats. this imposes more friction, but that's the point - to learn thru self-imposed friction, to constantly test my bitcoining abilities from the social layer to the cashu layer.
Absolutely baddass comment. You have virtue. Whoever you are, you always have a seat at my table.
I got teary-eyed at "this imposes more friction, but that's the point".....
Fuck you XMR bros..... fuck you Roger Ver (hope you get released though)..... fuck you Vitalik Butterin. Bitcoin is for the strong.

i get teary eyed too sometimes, thinking "omg, we made, bitcoin is here, freedom is here!" and yet more chaos is happening day to day.
so i sit down and try to learn more about law, mental defense, health defense, physical defense, keep on orange-pilling good candidates, teach new bitcoiners, pay attention to a multitude of conspiracy theories, etc.
there is so much work ahead, and so many scattered projects. gotta chip-chip away at it all

Part of this may be due to the fact that Bitcoin is not threatening fiat enough. If Bitcoin is nothing more than a store of value, then it's played perfectly into the hands of the deep-state (creature from Jekyll island). The Core Devs have ptsd from ordinals and taproot. Time for them to grow some balls and get some shit done.

lots to look forward to: mining decentralization and the soft-fork war! it's as much a technical as an intellectual and a spiritual battle.
on the normies side and bitcoiners side alike i decided to adopt the following strategy: study and educate harder while avoiding people who panic and fear (no one can help those, only themselves).
