Translation: inflation = theft, theft and more theft.

Hiking and tramping.

Still use a paper map. Thinking of buying more. Especially cadastrals.

Identify what YOU like doing.
What will make you want to get out of bed and you can't wait to start the day. Would you still want to do this 5 years later.
Be patient with yourself .
Don't make the mistake of copying someone else's plan, because you envy their success.
Allow yourself to absorb what rings your bell today and be happy to change your mind tomorrow .
You have 24 hours in your day - break down your day. Sleep, eat, shower, work etc, etc - to pinpoint the ME time. That ME time is dedicated to you only.
Enough for today.
I expect an update from you same time next week.

Thank you for an encouraging breakdown of where BTC is currently sitting compared to all the other commodities.

This week I met a boomer, while out walking the dog. Didn't know him, friendly chat turned to world problems and crypto. The next day, 4 hours of intensive interrogation of how money works, why BTC etc, etc.
End result, he's bringing 2 family members to talk to me.

I have told him I'm not a finance advisor. I've never worked in a bank. And had no idea about how currency really worked under the hood, until covid lockdown happened .

Two points -
1. Let whoever approaches you drive the conversation - he knew about exchanges to convert fiat, he has a cold wallet - doesn't know how to use it, and he knew something bad is coming, but couldn't put a finger on the specifics.
2. He's excited to know we have a crypto meetup.

He wanted to pay me for my knowledge and time. The best reward he could give me is to secure a future for his children /grandchildren.

One person at a time.

It is people like you, who freely give your time and counsel to help us teach people out in the wild.

I can't remember who said BTC is a religion. I get it now.

Thank you for what you and many of your colleagues have done to help us board the BTC train.

I'm going against the grain. Trump is going to release her. Netanyahu ordered it.

Reared on a diet of convenience compared to discomfort that morphs into mindset change takes a longer trip.

I'm happy to learn what other Nostrs think, because the reality I'm in, is stagnant, or in the too hard basket. Being yelled at, when I do something that's not approved in their eyes, shows the unhappiness that they've embraced. Worse still - don't want to see it - dont have to deal with it.

Love your breakdown. Thanks.

Covid lockdown taught me how to harness my rage.
1. Know myself.
2. Identify and study the enemy.
3. Understand their environment .
4. And exploit their vulnerabilities.

Separate perception (bullshit) from perspective (reality) eg We all have 3 faces i) The public face masked to deceive. ii) The private face - for family and friends and iii) the secret face - the REAL you - hides your shame, guilt, obsession, etc.
I'm not the clever one - Shawn Ryan's ex CIA guest - Andrew Bustamante laid this out.

Follow the money and you find the corruption - Vatican, City of London, Washington. Professor Richard Werner and Mike Malone (10 podcasts on The History of Money)

To study the enemy - Learn the nuances of the English language - political speak, bank speak, media speak, trade speak, government speak, legal speak, tech speak, finance speak - All designed to confuse, to censor, to shut you up. Grateful thanks to Nostr developers for providing a free speech platform..

Their environment - they want control. Control the food, the energy, the money - Kissinger's mantra.

The vulnerabilities -
Greed. After gorging themselves on the free money - we will witness them cannibalizing each other eg Big Pharma - Fast Foods. I stole that from Charles Hugh Smith - Hollowed Systems to create the illusion of stability. The Ratchet Effect.
Dedollarisation is happening thanks to BRICS and Bricspay blockchain. They're moving to their own currency, backed by gold reserves.
China - From their history courtesy Professor Wang Gungwu to their current status as the global factory, supply chain infrastructure, to cornering the rare earths market.
Global South - These countries have been subject to Western colonisation, slavery, scarce resource exploit, political regime change, bombed, sanctioned, genocided, poisoned, debanked - so yeah - there's some pretty pissed off people out there.
BITCOIN - doesn't care about my face. It doesn't care about politics, vaccines, borders, sanctions, wars, BIS, Federal Reserve, Rothschild, Gates etc...
Bhutan and El Salvador proved it. The crypto market cap is currently at 3.5 Trillion - compared to Forex who trade that amount every day.
So now I will focus on the risks, rewards and help the shift from Fried Fiat to Beatem up Bitcoin.

So how does this relate to Matt ODell's thread?
We come from a society of quick fixes, convenience, consumerism. Where everything activates by pressing a button.So, there will be people who like the principle of being their own bank, but don't consider the type of hardware to use, the networks, the apps, the exchanges and at the same time secure their data against theft, scams, hacks.
And then we have Wall St. They are not your friends. They have the broker, the maker, the taker - and their mode of operation is MEV - fancy name for Maximum extraction value . Translation - they slap your face when you enter and kick your ass when you exit. In other words the value you enter with, gets topped and tailed when you exit. ETF's are a classic example. Many of them are in the crypto space. See if you can pick them out.
I trust Matt ODell, Marty Bent, Jeff Booth, Peter MaCormack, Lyn Alden, Alex Goldstein. They are my sit up and listen. Trust is not easily given.

Bitcoin is hardening into a powerful tool. Its the one asset that will throw the spanner in their years of planning to turn us into dairy cows on a one way ticket to the abbotoir.

I make no apology for ranting. Its like breathing in fresh air after a recent rain shower.

To those who suffered through Covid - I'm really sorry.
