Bitcoin and buying a new truck...
My last new truck I bought in Jan 2009 at the low of the great financial crisis. It was a Ford F150, XLT... Window sticker was $35k+ with all the rebates I ended up at $23k out the door.

Bitcoin was just a baby at that time being launched on 1/03/2009. I could have bought $1 worth of bitcoin and held until now. But no, I didn't even learn about it until around 2015 and no purchases until 2021.

Fast forward 17 years. The old truck is gone, sold...got $8500 for it... But now on th3 hunt for a new truck, something a little bigger to pull trailers with. Found a 2026 F250, XLT for about $60,000.

Currently bitcoin is at about $70k. This got me to wondering what the next 15 years will be like?

I might have missed out on the first 12 years of bitcoin, but I sure won't miss out on the next 12 years.

Just think, for the cost of less than 1 bitcoin, I could get a new truck. As bitcoin does it's thing, as fiat does it's thing, the cost of a new vehicle will continue to go down. How many Sats will I pay for my next new truck?

Here is the one I'm getting.

30 Rock on gummies is a fucking riot. I'm not sure if all shows are this funny or just the ones we watch high.

30 Rock was made for weed.

"Be peaceful, but not harmless." My little Rosie (12 lb rat terrier) you think they will notice?

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Forces Army Chief of Staff to Step Down Over Ignored COVID Vaccine Injury

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has demanded that Army Chief of Staff General Randy George step down and retire immediately.

A young soldier wounded by the Biden-era mRNA COVID vaccine says General George ignored her desperate case until investigative reporting forced military records into the light.

Specialist Karoline Stancik was just 24 when the shot hit her hard. She suffered three heart attacks, a mini-stroke, and severe POTS that left doctors no choice but to implant a pacemaker in her chest.

During the Biden administration, the Army wrongly kicked Stancik off orders and stripped her of military medical insurance, leaving her to pay more than $90,000 out of pocket while fighting for her life.

An October 2023 Army memo later declared her condition "Line of Duty" and pointed straight to research linking her cardiac damage to the mRNA vaccine.

"Secretary of War has asked the Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George, to step down," the report states. "A COVID vaccine-injured soldier says General George ignored her case until our investigation exposed military records linking her three heart attacks to the mRNA vaccine."

After the reporting broke through, Stancik finally received medical retirement and partial back pay. She is still battling the VA to wipe out the rest of her crushing medical debt.

This case exposes how top brass looked the other way while fit young troops paid the price for forced experimental shots. Hegseth's move sends a clear message: real leadership puts injured soldiers first, not the cover-up.

Stancik's fight is one of many buried injuries from the military's heavy-handed vaccine push. Accountability is long overdue.

The first step towards success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
