Large tree removal post-Mortem.
Bids:
- Reputable, very professional, large local company - $7k
- Highly regarded amongst neighbors Mexican crew - $3k
- Mom and pop white guy - never made it out to give a bid
I went with the Mexican crew. They did the work in a few hours. They were extremely eager for work and comically unprofessional on a few things. What are you gonna do, I’d hire them again.

The Family Book.
I've been interested in the old tradition of family books that were passed down through generations in Europe and elsewhere. These heirlooms inculcate members of the family on who they are, their principles, customs, the story of how the family has risen up.
From my understanding, the father would command the eldest son to continue maintaining the book and to pass the practice on to his own eldest son.
The main elements were -
1) stories and examples of family identity
2) counsel and exhortations for the children
3) a book of accounting, such as financial ledgers, baptisms, births, maps of lands, property ownership histories, and more.
These sometimes spanned centuries! https://image.nostr.build/c660f58148d4d145a66bb3a90e46ca7d76c7fa94515fb33847e49e4a94229dd0.jpg

In this conversation I go down the rabbit hole of family wealth from a Catholic perspective with @npub1ajd…e4q9 . Dorian wrote his graduate school thesis on Family Wealth & Bitcoin, and I'm giving him the title of The Croatian Catholic bitcoiner.
We get into Tucker Carlson’s take that inheritance is a huge problem, a 1,000 year old Benedictine monastery in Croatia, family dynasties, and rediscovering the noblesse oblige.

This my humble contribution on money as it relates to the #Catholic faith and tradition in the digital age. I'm not a theologian, cryptographer, technomonastic, or academic of any sort, just a layman sharing my studies.
Ask to my followers - please subscribe (for free), share with anyone who might enjoy, and dm me if you know of someone I should collaborate with.
The piece I'm sharing is a response to Matt Fradd's commentary on the Russell Brand demonetization, where Jacob Imam erred on the only Pints with Aquinas bitcoin episode, and the conversation on the spiritual legacy of fiat inflation I'd love to hear.

Such a great point. Bruce is a much better artist than Anthony, but himself admits he’s always been playing a bit of a character in his songs.

I was a Financial Advisor skeptic until I gradually, then suddenly, turned into a bitcoin believer, thanks to some books that converted me.
Here are 6 pivotal books I read on my way to bitcoin maximalism:
The Church and the Market - A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy - Thomas E Woods
"..the monetary system is best which observes the most basic moral rules: do not steal and do not commit fraud."
You Can Be a Stock Market Genius - Joel Greenblatt
"..when Bob chooses his favorite stocks and is on pick number twenty, thirty, or eighty, he is pursuing a strategy imposed on him by the dollar size of his portfolio, legal issues, and fiduciary considerations, not because he feels his last picks are as good as his first or because he needs to own all those stocks for optimum portfolio diversification. In short, poor Bob has to come up with scores of great stock ideas, choose from a limited universe of the most widely followed stocks, buy and sell large amounts of individual stocks without affecting their share prices, and perform in a fish bowl where his returns are judged quarterly and even monthly."
The Driver - Garet Garrett
"Economists write about it as the struggle for sound money (gold), against unsound money (silver), and that leaves it where it was. Money is not a thing either true or untrue. It is merely a token of other things which are useful or enjoyable."
The Bitcoin Standard -
@npub1gdu…6nak
"It is no wonder that eight years after its invention, blockchain technology has not yet managed to break through in a successful, ready-for-market commercial application other than the one for which it was specifically designed: Bitcoin"
The Ethics of Money Production - Guido Hülsmann
"In the old days, saving was typically done in the form of hoarding gold and silver coins. It is true that such hoards did not provide any revenue—the metal was "barren"—and that they therefore did not lend themselves to the lifestyle of rentiers. But in all other respects money hoards were a reliable and effective form of saving. Their purchasing power did not just evaporate in a few decades, and in times of economic growth they even gained some purchasing power."
Bitcoin is Venice - Allen Farmington, Sacha Meyers
"What do we stand to gain? As these parasitic, rent seeking intermediaries whittle away, should institutions want to save, be they pension funds, charities, endowments, corporate treasurers, insurance floats (or what is left after securitized DLCs are done with them), they need not engage in leveraged speculation. They need never engage in the scourge of “passive investment,” nor accidentally pool the leverage of governance that is legally and fiduciarily due to their beneficiaries into a glaring political attack vector for degenerate fiat activists to infiltrate and co-opt. They need only stack sats — something they can do with no bankers, brokers, or asset managers, and that will be commonplace among teenagers, if not even younger children."

When the bicycle was gaining popularity in the late 19th century, it was criticized for encouraging children to spend less time away from books and families. Also, there was concern that young women would be less protected from strange uncouth men, etc.
I’m coming around to the idea that Elon might be a lot more than what I have previously given him credit for. We should be trying to go to Mars, if only to prove that men can still do great things.
On the other hand, I don’t know if I’ll ever get on board with the electric car future, which I perceive as perpetually renting, never fixing, less empowered, more fragile, always connected to the panopticon.
