Addressing the Broken Veteran Narrative
As a veteran, I’ve seen firsthand how the narrative around us is often one of brokenness and struggle. While challenges exist, this story overlooks our strength, resilience, and leadership.
Many of us transition successfully into civilian life, becoming entrepreneurs, leaders, and advocates. Our skills and experiences are invaluable assets that enrich our communities and industries.
It's crucial to shift our perspective from seeing veterans as victims to recognizing us as valuable contributors. This change starts with how we talk about and support each other. Nobody owes us anything. Get over it and get to work.
Comprehensive support systems, mental health resources, and employment opportunities are essential. But so is celebrating our successes and amplifying our stories of triumph and ongoing contributions, leadership and impact.
Veterans are also leading the way in purposeful missions like Bitcoin and other freedom technologies. These innovations align with our values of independence, security, and resilience.
Let's honor veterans not just for our service, but for our continued impact and potential. Together, we can change the narrative and build a more productive society.
To all my fellow veterans: Your service matters, your stories matter, and your future is full of possibilities. Thank you for your resilience and contributions.

2024-07-05 00:49:51

The Declaration of Independence didn't win freedom.

Declaration = Words.

Why are so many military veterans getting involved with Bitcoin?
Veterans possess unique skills and experiences that make them well-suited for the world of Bitcoin. Here's why so many are engaging:
🔸 Adaptability: Veterans are trained to thrive in unpredictable environments, making them adept at navigating the often unpredictable Bitcoin environment.
🔸 Technical Skills: Many veterans have backgrounds in technology and cybersecurity, providing a strong foundation for understanding Bitcoin technology.
🔸 Resilience: The discipline and perseverance honed through military service are invaluable in the fast-paced and often challenging world of Bitcoin.
🔸 Mission-Driven: Veterans often seek purpose-driven careers. The decentralization and financial empowerment offered by Bitcoin align with their values of integrity and independence.
🔸 Community: The strong sense of camaraderie and community among veterans finds a new home in the collaborative and supportive Bitcoin ecosystem. See @nprofile…9yje for more.
🔸 Leadership: The leadership skills developed in the military are highly transferable to the entrepreneurial opportunities within the Bitcoin space.
🔸 FREEDOM: Bitcoin's promise of financial freedom and sovereignty resonates deeply with veterans who have dedicated their lives to protecting these very principles.
Veterans are not just participants in the Bitcoin revolution; they are leaders, innovators, and key contributors to its growth and success.

Indeed. Although to be clear, obscenity can be quite humourous and is subjective to individual tastes. And I'll own the label of hypocrisy all day. But IMO there's a difference between a cartoon meant to prove a point and gathering around the dipshit circle jerk to point and giggle at another barely legal drunk girl embarrassing herself.
NOW, if she was a cartoon and had a crazy looking penis it would be a completely different story.

This is the playbook.
I was part of the Army recruiting machine for over 3 years.
We can anticipate forced retention of current service members, and continually increased enlistment incentives to attract new ones. Then a major threat will appear (think Pearl Harbor or 9/11) justifying limited conscription at first, then en masse.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-blasts-biden-for-opposing-their-pay-raise-for-low-ranking-troops
While a first reaction may be outrage at the victimization of our troops, I have to wonder about the underlying motive.
Clearly the gov can invent more money to support pay increases so this becomes a question of incentives for the DoD.
Imagine recruiting and retention efforts are so terrible they have no option but to resort to implementing stop losses, reactivating recently separated service members and eventually moving toward conscription starting out on a supplemental and temporary level and then when the next conflict erupts more wide scale.
For our safety and freedom of course.
If you or your children are between 15 and 50 years old, you need to have a plan.

"Can't someone just hack Bitcoin and erase everything?"
This was a question asked in an @npub1szn…9297 class earlier this week.
First of all, I love questions like this. With our student population being mostly veterans it's expected that we'll teach many who have a threat assessment mindset. Which is the same mindset that was used in the creation of Bitcoin itself.
We had a great discussion in the class about the security of the Bitcoin blockchain and network, the power of decentralization, hashing, cryptography and all the other technical aspects that I won't get into here.
At the end of the conversation, everyone in the class (including me) had a deeper understanding of the security of Bitcoin and its ability to resist attacks.
For the record, the Bitcoin blockchain and network are extremely secure and have never successfully been hacked or disabled. And it is under constant attack from individual hackers, groups and even sovereign nation states.
It is verifiably the most secure monetary system that has ever existed. Ever.
Connect with us at @npub1szn…9297 to learn more or to get engaged in our mission to bring Bitcoin education to military veterans.

The problem in fighting for the freedom of others
is wanting it more than they do.
Most people don't actually want to be free.
They want to believe they are safe.
Even if it's in the warm embrace of familiar chains.
