There is a god and I am not it. It is not my place to judge or cast stones. My people are for me to love and support, they are not my projects to fix.

Thankful for the sun shining down on me today. Thankful for all the beautiful people I am meeting, that are entering my life, and are sharing their light.
I see now that I have never trusted sunny people and it was my unwillingness to seek the light that has held me back. I have know this poem for a long time but could never break free of my fears.
"It is our light, not our darkness that most freightens us" - Marianne Williamson

Yesterday, I was anxious in the afternoon and anxiety persisted after my 10th meeting in 10 days. I got home and was presented with a parenting challenge. I remained calm, opened Daily Reflections and Daily Stoic for guidance, and heard God speak to me about personal responsibility. Thank you god.
I see that I am on my path. Day 11 #sobriety #stoic

Fear has been driving me for so long. Fear keeps me paralyzed, keeps me at status quo, and prevents me from realizing my true potential. Fear is my glass ceiling. Day 9 #sobriety

a response from Senator Angus King #maine #bitcoin
Dear xxxxx,
I’m with you on this and appreciate your thoughts about the proposal to establish a Bitcoin National Reserve. As a supporter of innovation, I think it’s important that the United States be at the forefront of new and emerging technologies. At the same time, the government has an important role in ensuring—as it does in other areas of the financial sector—that cryptocurrency markets are fair and that bad actors cannot use digital assets to hide and use funds.
I’m supportive of steps taken in recent years by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to regulate the cryptocurrency sector, as these two agencies oversee the markets of other similar financial products. Despite being developed as a form of digital value exchange, free of government oversight, a large part of cryptocurrency’s appeal has become the quick swings in value that allows investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies for large profits. Many users of cryptocurrencies now treat it more as a security—a tradeable financial asset used to store value—as opposed to an actual currency, which is a medium of exchange used to buy and sell goods or services.
As you may be aware, S. 4912, the BITCOIN Act of 2024, would direct the Department of the Treasury to purchase 1 million units of Bitcoin to establish a strategic reserve of the cryptocurrency. At current rates, this would be approximately $59.7 billion—paid for by reallocating certain investments within the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. I am concerned that this proposal trades prudent federal investments for a substantial stake in an unstable asset class that often facilitates criminal activity.
The bill has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee—of which I am not a member. Should it receive consideration by the full Senate, I would be likely to oppose it.
Thank you for contacting me on this issue. Please be in touch with other matters of importance to you that come before the Senate.
Best Regards,
ANGUS S. KING, JR.
United States Senator

always appreciate your time and energy producing these hysterical and enlightening videos. Your commentary about higher education struck me. I've spend my years since college debating the value of the experience and yet routinely find myself wanting to return for more. I realized that it's not the institution i wish to return to, but a community of eager and curious people; Bitcoin and nostr is such a community and I'm eternally thankful to be a member. thank you.

I keep thinking about going back to school for a Masters to feel accomplished, justified, and validated. BUT then I reflect on my last 3 years of independent study of short term trading, long term trading, keynesian vs Austrian economics, generational wealth planning, cognitive biases, emotional needs, leadership, and, most importantly, Bitcoin. When the cost of information is at an all time low and cost of education is an all time high, why?

2024-06-19 00:41:26

Just received HODL UP and had a great first round with the kids!! The learning curve is comfortable and the book has TONS of helpful information. I think that I will bring it to my next Bitcoin Meetup to see how the adults do. @npub19jk…x0q6 thank you for making such a great learning game.

Been reading FIRE movement books and am super pumped. I really like their emphasis on happiness and personalized solutions. I updated my long overdue personal budget and realized that I'm at 26% savings rate, not on FIRE but still a great start. Bitcoin will hopefully get me on the express path to FI. #FIREmovement #bitcoin
