Thought of the day:
What an amazing historical period we are living in today:
- The materialization of many ancient (starting from the Apocalypse in the Gospel of John) and recent prophecies about the birth of a fake Christian Catholic Church led by the anti-pope Bergoglio
- The worldwide rebellion against the peak of globalistic, illiberal forces developed by many nation-states all over the world
- The crisis of the dollar as a global reserve currency
- The advent, for the first time in history, of a perfect unconfiscable, portable, fungible, divisible, hard-to-create form of money
It sounds like we are living at a major crossroads in human history.

Thought of the day:
As we all know, our fiat-based, consumeristic world encourages us to over-satisfy our immediate needs rather than saving resources and gaining time for ourselves.
By avoiding the pitfalls of overconsumption, we can save and use our time to become more productive and independent.
Over-consuming and buying more than it is needed 'on-the-spot' leads to a waste of resources and then keeps us continuously enslaved in this logic.
Think about how we are constantly surrounded by offers, promotions, and 3-for-2 deals, all of which lead us to spend more money on goods and services that we don't necessarily need at that moment.
From the moment I've been orange pilled, I changed radically the way I buy goods and services I need.
When I need to buy something, I first ask myself if I need it in the very short term, then if I do need it, I prefer to buy it in the right quantity at full price rather than purchasing it in an unnecessary larger quantity just because it's discounted.
yes...agreed....what makes me sad is that my usual strategy of lump summing whatever fiat saving I have in my hands leads me to end up with no possibility of stacking more sats in these favourable moments....
Hi @314piepi. It might be true the other way round....how the BTC price correlates with our productivity... 🥶
It happened gradually from the moment I was orange-pilled... then suddenly. Absolutely true.
I removed everything that is not strictly needed and essential.
Brands and status symbols belong to the fiat culture, which incentivizes a high-time preference and wasteful consumeristic approach.
Curiosity of the day:
Starting from block 139690 (05/08/2011) a miner named Eligius started to inscribe a Catholic Prayer in Latin in some coinbase messages.
Block 139690
coinbase tx hash: cbbaa0a64924fe1d6ace3352f23242aa0028d4e0ff6ae8ed615244d66079cfb1
hexdump (partial):
"Eligius/Benedictus Deus. Benedictum Nomen Sanctum eius." -> block 139690
"Benedictus Iesus Christus, verus Deus et verus homo." -> block 139792
"Benedictum Nomen Iesu." -> block 139831
"Benedictum Cor eius sacratissimum." -> block 139898
"Benedictus Sanguis eius pretiosissimus." -> block 139904
"Benedictus Iesus in sanctissimo altaris Sacramento." -> block 139921
"Benedictus Sanctus Spiritus, Paraclitus." -> block 139942
"Benedicta excelsa Mater Dei, Maria sanctissima." -> block 139977
"Benedicta sancta eius et immaculata Conceptio." -> block 139990
"In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen." -> block 140181
This is a Catholic prayer composed in 1797 in Latin by the Italian Luigi Felici for the purpose of making reparation after saying or hearing sacrilege or blasphemy.
Surprisingly it happened in May 2022, after the Terra Luna collapse, at the beginning of the bear market....I suddenly truly realize the importance of Bitcoin, its open source nature, its real decentralization, inconfiscability and incurruptibility
An interesting article that prefigures the use of Bitcoin without the internet, relying only on an analog medium: radio waves. It is intended for remote areas, natural disasters, political and social unrest, and technical failures.
Takeaway of the day:
Current behavioral foundations based on egocentric objectives are weak and destined to collapse. Modern earthly values have been instilled by the predominant globalist way of thinking. Only a spirit that leads our existence towards transcendent and eschatological objectives, rather than material or earthly purposes, can bring us back to balance, fulfillment, and happiness. Our divine nature derives from the fact that "God made us in His image and likeness" and not from the belief that we are ready to replace God through technological advancements.
