first day of corporate fiat mining in a while...
i am not ready to be unplugged,
but learning everyday about the nature of the plug-in.
mute this username and move on.
there are no helpful posts from this username.
oh, and give it a good downzap on the way out.
everyone gets the amount of sats they deserve.
if your partner does not put in the study time,
she or he can lose the sats in a single click.
that is the harsh truth. there are no shortcuts.
study hard or learn thru pain.
knowledge => understanding => action.
skips steps at ur own peril, so to speak.

learning to harness power while remaining flexible is a must.
u must train to support ur mining. software and hardware alone are no good if you don't support them with power and flexibility. ~ bruce lee reworded
it is not efficient, but it helps me break the blue-light screen addiction and focus on the interaction with people. it's a hassle to even navigate somewhere and this is how i force myself to think ahead.
- cheap flip-phone for text, call, & authentication.
- cheap slow motorola smartphone without data or mobile plan, for use with wifi/blutooth only.
- grapheneOS pixel for bitcoin/nostr-only tasks, that i was gifted for free with a cracked screen.
- backup 2-SIM card nokia phone for travel in the global south.
the following were the most significant things i did for bitcoin in 2024:
- attended almost every local bitcoin meetup (i am a co-founder), and focused on the few newbies.
- got a bacon & mushroom maker to accept bitcoin and want more bitcoin.
- hashed with a bitaxe for 120+ days.
- volunteered at a meetup booth at a conference, connecting people.
- handed out 10+ easy how-to-bitcoin pamphlets.
- idk if i was the catalyst, but shortly after i started talking to a new bitcoiner woman, she left her shitcoiner husband and moved to the opposite side of the country. it's a win either way, i don't need the credit.
my contributions this year are dwarfed by the contributions next year.

fear not the machine that has practiced 10^n algos once,
but fear the machine that has practiced one algo 10^n times.
the surveillance and control state will start openly declaring that participation is voluntary, and the vast majority of people will continue participating.
if the order followers were completely honest, most would say something like this:
"i don't want to do this to u, but my boss says that u are asking me to do this to u"
What i see is a Hegelian dialectic applied to food.
problem (thesis) -> reaction (anti-thesis) -> solution (synthesis) that is even more demonic than the original problem.

bitcoin mining with lightning payouts all over the world be like:
i know a tiny korean woman who wears Disney clothes and trains in some deadly martial art. she told me: "the reason i will win is because i will keep hitting u even after u are down and unconscious."
that statement made me think very hard about the expression "don’t kick a man when he’s down," and i will never forget it.
watching it today, finally natural law fundamentals are making it into the bitcoin mainstream... i have yet to read the book, there is so much to read!
i think that someone made a pretty good attempt this time at making a man; the flesh-ware is good enough, but the mind-ware is not resilient to false programming. i like this idea of dyotheletism - if there is only the creator's will, a man may as well be an automaton, a cyborg. however, a truly distributed sentient system should have a way to learn by itself, auto-correct thru free will, remove its own buggy programming, and teach others to do the same.
finally, there is the emerging question of who is the creator? if the creator(s) were other sentient being(s) of a higher order, who is to say that they are perfect and never do any wrongs? i am not talking about the highest of the high, the natural order of the universe, but a potential intermediary species between men and supreme nature.
what i really like about a blue-light shield for a laptop screen is that the red text in red-pilling presentations now appears orange.
