Since almost everyone is stupid about compounding even me.
Here’s the math.
Using @npub15dq…lm5m's base case (13MM a coin by 2045) as the example…
Saving $20 a week = $1,200,000 in 2045
Saving $50 a week = $3,000,000 in 2045
Saving $100 a week = $6,000,000 in 2045
Saving $500 a week = $30,000,000 in 2045
Saving $1,000 a week = $60,000,000 in 2045
Now let’s get properly bullish and use Saylors bull case 🐂 of $49 million per coin by 2045.
Saving $20 a week = $3,600,000 in 2045
Saving $50 a week = $9,000,000 in 2045
Saving $100 a week = $18,200,000 in 2045
Saving $500 a week = $90,000,000 in 2045
Saving $1,000 a week = $181,500,000 in 2045
If you save $20-$50 a week over the next 21 years you will end up with somewhere between 1.2 and 9 million dollars.
I mean bro for Americans that’s like me asking you not to go out to lunch once or twice a week.
That’s nothing. https://image.nostr.build/624b110fc7c9489badb805e3d715e5993543b37370086a45dc184e91c2dc3757.jpg

It happened again.
Met this guy online in 2021. He came in as a shitcoiner. I helped him see the light with bitcoin.
During the bear market he was working insta cart in order to stack like crazy.
After a few years of hard work he had amassed 2-3 bitcoin.
Was super proud of this guy. He was on his way to changing his family tree. Then he fell for some runes meme token. Put his whole stack in. Even became leader of their meme coin army.
Is now promoting this scam token and promising returns to others. He’s already down significantly in bitcoin terms. Most likely scenario is that everyone involved with this thing is going to zero.
SAD.
Another one bites the dust. https://image.nostr.build/3f52bf002c7dbfc6b057d41705529f97d6a5a54128b680b03f2092585c5e56c1.jpg

People that think this way are losers. There’s no such thing as a stolen idea.

2024-09-12 12:03:54

You get self esteem by doing things that are worthy of esteem and then telling no one.
New PR in the gym? Tell no one.
Just made a million dollars? Tell no one.
Have an amazing sex life? Tell no one.
Promotion at work? Tell no one.
Lost 50lbs? Tell no one.
People might notice some of these things or changes you’ve made and that’s ok.
Don’t be weird about it. If they comment say thank you and keep going.
The reason you tell no one is so that you can switch your reference point from external to internal.
Let others see the results. Don’t announce them.
Anything you have that is enviable others will brag for you.

If you’ve been living inauthentically for awhile you might notice that the lies and half truths you’ve told pile up like logs around you.
At first it’s no big deal because you can simply step right over the logs and continue to move freely, but eventually there are so many that you can’t maneuver around them any longer.
You are trapped, isolated and alone.
When you find yourself in a situation like this, there’s only one thing to do.
Set it on fire and let it burn down around you.
It’s going to be extremely painful, but in the end you’ll be free.
Godspeed. https://image.nostr.build/aa3d111de2b5f690502d70d0cccd66679d4bd589aad389480ec76d6830c428c5.jpg

It feels weird to be proud of a billionaire, but in bitcoin terms I’m a big bro to Michael.
This is a powerfully redemptive moment for him. His Hodl journey has been very public and just as emotive and full of turmoil as the rest of us.
Michael was peers with bezos. He was one of the longest reigning tech ceos from the dot com bubble onwards. Except unlike bezos he was overlooked, his company left to chug along for decades. Neither taking over the world, nor exploding in infamy. Just a solid company that existed in relative obscurity to most of the population. It must have bothered Michael somewhat. Because you can tell that he is just as smart and calculating as his famous peers who’ve gotten all the headlines over the last 25 years. To them he’s like the rest of us Bitcoiner’s. A bit of a misfit. Someone who fell through the cracks.
After years of patience he can now confidently sit in the CNBC studio and declare to the talking heads and the world direct to their faces. “Yes I was right. Yes I am beating all of you”.
That’s the redemptive power of bitcoin. Whether you’re a billionaire or a pleb. You have the ability to reset your world and take your rightful place at the table.
In many ways large and small bitcoin is about renegotiating your place in the world.

“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association, movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.
Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.
I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.
This really happened. And it revealed everything.
In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”

I wonder how long it can last

2024-09-03 13:36:19

@npub1a2c…w83a has inspired me to do more long form stories on nostr.
It was a random thursday, the summer between junior and senior year of high school.
Me and three of my buddies were getting high in the back of my friend Dave’s mustang, when someone decided we needed to go on a beer run.
For anyone who isn’t aware, a beer run is very literally what it sounds like. You grab a case of beer and run 🏃 out of the store before anyone catches you.
Conversation then turned to who was going to do the beer run. (You only need one guy) My friend Dave was driving so he was out. I had turned 18 recently and I didn’t want to risk big boy jail. Which left my friend James and my friend Brad. James didn’t want to do it because he was wearing flip flops. Brad made up some bs about how he twisted his ankle skateboarding (which was a lie). So ultimately James was like “fine I’ll do it you fucking pussies” and he got out of the car.
So we watch James walk into the grocery store from the car, the plan is to pick him up around back when he runs out.
Here’s where things get crazy. The grocery store is next to a target and as James walk into the store a police helicopter pulls into the sky above the parking lot we’re in.
“Fuck, this is bad. Ok quick call James 📱 let him know that the beer run is off.”
I dial up James on my phone and as it’s ringing I see him bolt out of the store, two angry grocery clerks chase after him. He’s running so fast that his flip flops come flying off behind him and he’s now running barefoot on 130 degree asphalt.
He turns the corner and the police helicopter sees him, and starts yelling at him through the bullhorn to get on the ground. He throws the beer in the air and puts his hands up. 70 cans of beer going rolling down the hill.
We’re in the back of the mustang stoned. Watching all this play out, freaking the fuck out.
We decide we better split, so we quietly drive off and go to my friends house.
A few hours later we get a call from James, the cops are letting him go with a ticket and a court appearance and we can come pick him up from the target.
We go to pick him up and we learn that there had been an armed robbery at the target at the exact time we were pulling off a beer run next door. Two masked men with guns were robbing the registers. They were both being apprehended precisely at the moment we were pulling off a stupid beer run. Talk about bad luck lol
The cops saw him running and assumed he was part of it. They put him on the ground and had the K-9 unit guard him.
After the dust cleared and they realized he was just a dumb kid on a beer run they decided to cut him loose. They had bigger fish to fry that day.
My friend Dave and I still get together and tell this story at least once a year and always compare notes to make sure we remember it correctly.
We joke about how everyone thinks we’re embellishing or outright lying when we tell them about the helicopter interrupting our beer run.
I’ve been telling this story so long it almost doesn’t seem real to me either.
But it definitely happened and was one of the craziest things I’d ever seen in my life lol 😂

Here’s the empathy. The harsh reality of bitcoin adoption was true then and it’s still true now. The same feeling you have about people who were earlier than you will be had by people who were later than you about you. Bitcoin still has 100x + to go. The ultimate kindness is to make people aware of this reality and offer them help and resources to position themselves in order to take advantage.

The harsh reality is that tickets were available to everyone on earth with an internet connection. You didn’t even need money early on. Bitcoin was literally free, people were just giving it away. So technically yes you did have the ability to buy a ticket. Even though I bought fairly early, I should have been here even earlier. I knew about bitcoin in 2011 and chose not to act. That’s true for most OG’s. Then when we finally did act we had to endure ridicule about our beliefs in addition to the emotional volatility of our investment. It wasn’t easy in the slightest and most of the people I know from back then are out of bitcoin now. Very few hodled.

I have an extreme level of personal accountability/responsibility/ownership.
I do not believe things that happen to me are the result of others actions, but of my own actions.
I do not believe others are responsible for or to me.
I am wholly responsible for myself.
Nothing negative that ever happened to me (even in childhood) was the result of someone else’s plan, but always of my own design.
No one has ever held me down/back. No one has ever stood in my way. No one has ever defeated me. I have defeated myself.
I am responsible for everything that occurs in my world. Every single thing.
I’m not saying everyone should think this way, but this is how I think.

It is funny to promote BlockFi but be scared to promote Bitcoin

Think about it like this.
If you believe bitcoin is going to 2 million.
That’s 32x away from where we are now.
So multiply everything you’re spending in the present by 32 to figure out the true cost of things.
That $20 lunch you had? That could have been a $640 dinner in the future.
The reasonable 30k car you bought? That’s a million dollar super car your future self could have driven.
The 100k downpayment you put on your home? That’s a 3.2 million dollar paid off home.
The 5k international vacation you took last year? That was a 160k baller trip you could have taken later.
Food for thought.

It was about $36,000 to attain 6.15 Btc when I started that meme. The price of a car. Everyone else was telling people to get one bitcoin and I was like fuck that. Have some fucking balls and aim a little higher. It was always an aspirational goal and not easy to attain, but still within reach for people who wanted it bad enough. Basically the price of a new car, parking lots full of them. What do you want? New car or 6.15 bitcoin? The choice is yours. There are a lot of guys who heard the call, felt the challenge I was laying out and responded to my specific brand of bravado back then. Next year it’s likely they’ll all be millionaires. Beautiful. Exactly my intended goal.

Something is making Americans fat as fuck.
Basically the theory is that pufa’s (seed oils) are dirty food (industrial sludge, non ancestral) which turn into dirty fuel when utilized for fat burn in the body. This produces unpleasant and negative feelings in the body and emotionally when fat stores containing PUFA’s are tapped into causing people to become hangry (distinct from hungry) and seek food more often resulting in overeating. Personally I find it a more compelling theory than sugar bad, sedentary lifestyle etc…

Set your goals high
Dreams come true all the time
Just not to people who don’t aspire

I frequently find myself in interactions like that. Which is frustrating.
“Well you’re a white male so you think x, y and z”
I don’t think any of those things.
“Yes you do”
No I really don’t.

Being an individual is rare.
Of course everyone is an individual, but most will not identify themselves this way.
Most will choose to identify with their racial/cultural group ahead of their status as an individual.
The person who realizes the harsh truth that they are but one lone human in a sea of humanity is special.
They are unique.
They are bounded by nothing.
Which allows them to do anything.

A lot of people don’t know my story about how I got into bitcoin so here it is…
I was a smart kid from sort of a rough background.
Always academically gifted, but never really applied myself.
I had a keen interest in mathematics and really excelled in school but had a hard time staying out of trouble.
I was in and out of juvie during my early adolescence. Nothing serious. Petty stuff underage drinking. Fighting. Resisting arrest etc…
Even though I had a rough home life I always had a close friend group that I could count on.
One of them got me a job as a janitor at a local college.
I was a lowly janitor but I still had my love for mathematics, so I used to sneak around and finish high level equations that people had left on the chalkboard.
One day a professor confronted me as I was writing an equation down. I told him to fuck off and ran away.
Then I got like mandated to do therapy with this old guy who was all wise and shit anyway I forget how the rest of the movie goes…
Then I got into bitcoin!
And that’s my story.
