I want to use my free speech while I still have it:
Pearl Harbor - government knew in advance and did nothing because it needed an excuse to enter the war
Kennedy assassination - Appears to me to have been a coup involving the CIA and FBI.
Golf Of Tonkin - a lie (or at least willful omission) to escalate the Vietnam war.
9/11 - nothing about the official story holds water. Look up Building 7. I don’t know what actually happened but I know THOUSANDS OF Americans died and we were lied to. It was used to ram the Patriot Act up our ass and start forever wars in the Middle East.
2008 - direct result of corrupt government policy mingled with corrupt and protected banks following the incentives. Led to QE which is state protection of large, corrupt institutions at the expense of everyone else.
Covid - if it wasn’t an intention bio-weapon, it was at least inadvertently released from the Wuhan Lab that was funded by the US government via shady indirect channels. They locked down the world and destroyed small businesses. To this day they are STILL recommending the covid vaccine for 6 month-olds and pregnant mothers despite obvious harms! They used it as an excuse to print ~40% of all dollars in circulation today thus diluting savers and creating a financial system completely dependent on government.
DO NOT TRUST THESE BASTARDS. WHATEVER COMES NEXT IS THEIR FAULT TOO. HOLD BITCOIN AND USE TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD PARALLEL SYSTEMS THEY CANT STOP.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen emergency weaponized perimeter drones used yet as a home defense option. Carry a duress button and have perimeter sensors that launch a swarm of exploding drones that surround a target before they ever make it to your door. Announce it over an intercom and ask them to sit down and wait for the authorities. Blow one up as a demo if they try to run.

Anyone here have experience with Start9? I am extremely non-technical. I can follow instructions but I don’t enjoy configuring and tinkering. Here is what I would like to do:
1. Run Bitcoin Core with a couple of s9 miners mostly for seasonal heat.
2. Replace Dropbox for my business. 95% of files are either excel, pdf or word. Nothing complicated. Need multiple remote users to be able to reliably access.
3. Back up family photos so I’m not dependent on big tech for that.
4. Hopefully in the future run BTCPayServer to collect BTC from our Shopify site.
5. Bonus points for things like Nostr relay and Lightning nodes, but realistically unless it’s “one button” easy i probably won’t do these.
Would love thoughts from people who have done this. What else can I easily do with one that I haven’t considered?
Do I need help to set all this up? Can I trust someone to help with something so sensitive? https://image.nostr.build/369920732b3c7e8d935883bb2df2272409eda9ce2215b279e30ef6ce47b8d8aa.jpg

The remedy for corporate greed is competition. You need more greedy corporations who are truly independent of each other fighting for the same consumers to value their products in a free and open market. Regulation leads to consolidation which is bad for competition.

Communism is an infection that grows over time. The story starts with “social programs”, picks up speed with price controls, peaks with dissenters lined up and shot over shallow graves they were forced to dig themselves with poorly made shovels, and ends with complete collapse. Starting down the path doesn’t necessarily always lead to that outcome. If you acknowledge and treat the infection early you can slow the progression of the disease and live with it for decades.

You are the sum of your daily habits and your identity. If you want different results, you have to change those two things.
My current habits have me as the operator of my business which eats up all of my time and leaves me with less than I’d like getting a rating to fly seaplanes as a hobby. My current identity is that of an entrepreneur who grinds and can solve any problem but “I have no experience managing people”.
I have one very loyal employee who is learning to take on operations and I have made a job offer to someone I’m excited about for a sales position. Starting on Monday, for the next four weeks I am going to send a daily email first thing every day to each member of my team reminding them of our company goals and encouraging them in their part of that. I will make sure that they know I am available to help with any roadblocks they encounter but also that I trust and expect them to drive the mission forward.
The time I free up by trusting those two people with their jobs I will apply to souring new and better products and identifying new market niches for us to serve. I will also reinvest the surplus into continued growth of our team. Through this process I am building experience managing people.
By the end of this year, someone in my company will sell a product and it will be delivered and invoiced without my involvement.
By the end of next year, I will be rated to fly seaplanes. https://image.nostr.build/6517f531f8bf802f35263b848b8d2e5a29418508baf83a2ed3d96a6cc5355613.jpg

Boomers own all the businesses, but did you know the SBA will give you a 90% business loan including purchase price, inventory and operating capital to buy one of those businesses?
If you have $50k (maybe from equity in a home, you can buy a business for $500k. What’s that get you? Could be a business doing $1m/year in revenue at 25% margins. Smaller businesses tend to sell for 2-3x owners profits. And if you pick well you can find one that has done that consistently for ten years with no online presence. Build a website, modernize the business and double revenue. These businesses aren’t sexy startups. They’re sign shops and snow plowing service companies. Bakeries and garden centers.
Buy using leveraged $USD with a government backed loan. Work your butt off to make it even better and put the money you cash flow into Bitcoin for long term savings.

Please share. I’m not techy and haven’t figured out to to have a big reach on Nostr yet:
When I was 17, I signed up for the US Marine Corps. By the grace of God I failed their medical exam and never completed enlistment. One of my best friends from high school did.
Two years later, he called me in the middle of the night from Germany. He had been shot in Iraq and was being flown home for emergency treatment. The next morning I picked up his mom and drove the distraught woman who spoke very little English 23 hours straight, only stopping for gas, to be there when he got home.
In the hospital I watched as the nurse turned off the light in the room to shine a flashlight on his wound to check for infection. The bullet entered his back between his spine and his shoulder blade and mercifully made a turn to exit through his upper arm, missing any organs but shattering his arm completely. In that dark room I could see the light of the flashlight passing fully 9” through his body. I could also smell the rotting flesh from the infection she was checking for. The smell got worse for weeks before they got it under control. He was unbearable to be around and I will never forget that sweet acrid smell.
He took most of a year to recover and eventually tried to start a civilian life. Broken by war, he couldn’t hack it and eventually reenlisted serving at least two more tours of duty with the army. Last I heard he was a drill instructor teaching other young boys to do what broke him.
We’ve lived very different lives and have grown apart but still talk a couple times a year. The conversations are challenging for me but I try to remember his life has been vastly different from mine. He will often say things like “I need to get back to war, I miss killing people”. I have nothing to say to those comments. I just feel tremendous sadness for him, his family and for the lives he has destroyed under orders from the government I fund (under duress) through taxes and inflation.
That is what drives me to save in Bitcoin. It is the only way for me to shield some of the value of my labor capital from the military industrial congressional complex that has destroyed millions of lives around the world including in our own military.
Number-Go-Up is an incredible feature and one that I enjoy very much, but if I all I accomplish in being a Bitcoiner is forcing the government to be a little bit smaller and more accountable to the people it is intended to represent, that is enough for me. If one less mother has to bury a son, that is a worthy outcome.
