I struggle to put myself in the shoes of the people for whom bureaucracy provides safety, wealth, job security.

Things aren’t getting more expensive.
The money is getting less valuable.
This image is an excellent way to convey part of the fiat inflation message to anyone you know who doesn’t “get it” but is open to learning. It’s a good place to start.

Plenty of lessons, for sure. Over Christmas, I walked my brother through setting up a HW wallet I got for him him, and then transferred .03 I'd set aside for him after he set it up.
I did not show him how to sell bitcoin (no doubt he could figure it out), but I'll eventually direct him somewhere like Strike once he's ready to DCA.
I also explained the reasoning behind why he should just hold onto it for at least 4-5 years, if not longer/forever. No guarantees, but I'm hopeful he'll HODL.

Bullish because 99% of people desire freedom, even if they're afraid to do what's necessary to achieve & preserve it.
Bullish because govts & CBs have no choice but to keep devaluing their currencies.

“I would like the world to know that there really is value in liberating the human spirit. And what I mean by that is providing the substratum of opportunity to all people. That doesn’t mean everybody’s entitled to a house. The substratum of opportunity is education, nutrition, and access to opportunity. Now, if people choose not to take it, that’s fine. But to exclude people for different reasons, I think is a fallacy of mankind.” — Robert F. Smith, Founder & CEO of Vista Equity Partners

What are you building?
Doesn't have to be bitcoin/nostr-related. Could be art, a home, a family, a business, a blog, a podcast, whatever. I just like celebrating creators.

Already writing notes on nostr, but since #introductions is apparently a thing:
- Have worked in software for nearly 3 decades
- Became obsessed with building & leading teams a little over a decade ago. NGL, I've gotten pretty damn good at it.
- I found that solving people-problems is far more rewarding for me (and more complicated, frustrating, stressful, etc.) than solving coding problems
- I especially admire creators & entrepreneurs, so I'm also obsessed with helping startup & small business leaders
- Experimenting with the pseudonymous approach on nostr

I own the M&P 2.0 FDE and it is a fantastic handgun. Even relatively inexperienced shooters are accurate w/ it without a ton of practice.

Everything's gotta be a conspiracy, even when (especially when?) it would make zero logical sense.

I have near-zero doubt that 1 BTC will be worth > $1M USD before people have to start writing 203[x] for the current year. The real question in my mind is what will $1M USD be worth by then?

Keep shining a light on the dubious practices of hack companies like Stripe, sir. They'll either change their ways, or they'll find out very painfully that they should've protected their customers.

Words can't express my excitement to dive into nostr. Also, starting as pseudo will be an interesting, possibly demoralizing & even soul-crushing endeavor, but I'm here for it. Everybody peed the bed at one point.
