reminds us that unbelief isn’t just ignorance, it’s spiritual blindness. Satan may blind minds, but the deeper issue is the heart’s refusal to see Christ’s glory. Only God can break through that darkness. Salvation is all grace…..start to finish.

Sometimes you wake up and realize you’re behind the scenes of something world changing. Not because it’s loud…but because it’s right.
Bitcoin attracts those who’ve walked away from broken systems. Builders. Rebels. Truth-seekers.
And when people who’ve been on the wrong team for too long finally switch sides, everything starts to move.
You’re not early. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be…

California Gas Taxes (per gallon):
•State Excise Tax: 59.6¢ — roads & infrastructure
•Federal Excise Tax: 18.4¢ — federal highways
•Sales Tax: ~10% — general state/local revenue
•Prepaid Sales Tax: 8¢ — retailer advance payment
•Total Taxes/Fees: Roughly $1.10+ per gallon
And that’s before profits, distribution, or crude costs.
This is theft.
You pay more in taxes than for the gas itself. Politicians bleed you dry in the name of “infrastructure” while the roads crumble.

This isn’t just about Samourai….it’s about the fundamental right to self-custody and peer-to-peer freedom. If SDNY can ignore FinCEN guidance and criminalize open source tools, every Bitcoiner in America is at risk. This case must be fought, loudly and relentlessly. Tyranny doesn’t knock…it barges in unless we stand firm.

It is good and right that we have separation of church and state.
However, Sharia law Views the state and religion as one….Islam is not just a faith, but a political and legal system. It stems from the Quran, Hadiths, and Islamic tradition…
So with ALL respect, my worldview would reject Sharia law.
There is a proposed development in Texas known as “EPIC City,” initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC). This planned community is intended to be a Muslim-centered neighborhood near Josephine, Texas, approximately 40 miles northeast of Dallas. This will be an interesting case study to see how this plays out.

MicroStrategy is an outlier…they’ve got Saylor and conviction. Most institutions are stuck with:
• Broken accounting rules (impairments but no upside).
• Regulatory fog.
• Shareholder fear.
• ESG pressure.
But make no mistake: they’re coming in sideways.
• BlackRock ETF (IBIT)
• Fidelity in 401(k)s
• BNY Mellon offering custody
• Texas talking reserves
Bitcoin is being adopted the only way institutions know how: slowly, quietly, and with suits on.
You don’t need permission. Stack while they strategize.

You can’t print your way to prosperity.
Real value comes from time, effort, discipline, and choice. That’s the core of Austrian economics….and it’s why Bitcoin matters.

Bitcoin isn’t backed by gold or a government, meaning it has “no intrinsic value.”

Been following this Bitcoin Core vs. Knots stuff…
Core is what most nodes run which is solid, but slow to respond to junk like NFTs clogging up the chain.
Knots is a version with filters. Blocks stuff like JPGs and ordinals. Maintained by one dev (Luke Dashjr).
The fight?
Core lets anything through if it pays. Knots says nah, that’s spam, even if it pays.
Some call it censorship. Others say it’s saving the network.
At the end of the day:
Core = open roads
Knots = cleaner roads
It’s about how you see Bitcoin.
Freedom or filters?
Your node, your rules.

Found a cool tool from Sminston With’s "Smitty's Bitcoin Retirement Guide". This tool helps you plan your Bitcoin stash for retirement with a conservative 5th quantile model…95% confidence your spending won’t need adjusting due to volatility more than once in 20 years. It covers $50k to $1M annual spending, adjusts for inflation (7% assumed), and plans to age 100. New: easy lookup tables, high-DPI format for printing, and scenarios for all ages up to 2075. Taxes not included. This is based on selling once a year.

Am I right on this matter from what I just read linked below? #asknostr
Some noise in dev circles: Peter Todd wants to lift the cap on how much data can go into an OP_RETURN. Right now it’s limited by policy, not consensus, so removing it wouldn’t break Bitcoin, it’d just open the door for more creative use.
Ordinals wouldn’t care (they use Taproot). But Runes and other Bitcoin-native DeFi experiments? They could thrive with less hacky workarounds. More clean ways to embed metadata.
Big picture? Bitcoin becomes more programmable not just “ultrasound money.”
Should some of us Maxis be concerned?
