Last Notes npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL lol trump is at pubkey in New York legend status https://image.nostr.build/c9baf150d48a35dcc3d017fa6e1a096cefb612a091232e9f08c9f3b6af62e35e.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Since almost everyone is stupid about compounding even me. Here’s the math. Using @npub15dq…lm5m's base case (13MM a coin by 2045) as the example… Saving $20 a week = $1,200,000 in 2045 Saving $50 a week = $3,000,000 in 2045 Saving $100 a week = $6,000,000 in 2045 Saving $500 a week = $30,000,000 in 2045 Saving $1,000 a week = $60,000,000 in 2045 Now let’s get properly bullish and use Saylors bull case 🐂 of $49 million per coin by 2045. Saving $20 a week = $3,600,000 in 2045 Saving $50 a week = $9,000,000 in 2045 Saving $100 a week = $18,200,000 in 2045 Saving $500 a week = $90,000,000 in 2045 Saving $1,000 a week = $181,500,000 in 2045 If you save $20-$50 a week over the next 21 years you will end up with somewhere between 1.2 and 9 million dollars. I mean bro for Americans that’s like me asking you not to go out to lunch once or twice a week. That’s nothing. https://image.nostr.build/624b110fc7c9489badb805e3d715e5993543b37370086a45dc184e91c2dc3757.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Something I’ve learned over the years is that being helpful comes off as hurtful and being callous comes off as caring. People hate when you believe in them and think they can be more, because then they feel pressured to change. To endure discomfort. People love when you treat them like low agency losers who are incapable of change, because then they can stay comfortable. To me the latter feels like callous disregard and the former feels like loving guidance. But somehow it’s reversed in the minds of most recipients. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL You are 100% responsible for everything that has ever or will ever happen to you. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Poverty is very simply just having the wrong ideas in your head. You can replace the ideas and lift yourself out of poverty. The problem is most people don’t know, don’t care and don’t care to know. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL There are certain people from the past (all of them) who talk to me the way they used to and I do not accept that anymore. Causes big friction. People are used to an older version of me who had less boundaries. Put up with more bullshit. Usually easier to just avoid these people entirely. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL My whole life be like dis https://image.nostr.build/3f7014df2a641c4bb8d1d8166f0f069020148e33ea8d329d5df38801f5c6c9e4.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I have a 50 year plan I’ve been working on. I’m 10 years in. 40 years to go. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I just tell them it’s digital money. They accept it easier than adults. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL https://image.nostr.build/3eb9adfd196e28a8a2e3c4d848751566bbfa617090d9a8682b3457beabb93b30.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7edddc7d95da6baf3e78dbc9faf21a76828f314e74e6ff6039003960065b8fe6.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Here’s where I’m at. There’s not a doubt in my mind that god is real. Still not really a fan of organized religion though. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Tell me the story of your bitcoin journey in 5 lines or less. Best story wins 100k sats. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Usually I just feel bad for these people. Especially if it’s out of nowhere totally unprovoked then you know it’s really going bad for them personally. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL ADHD is a super power npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL And I simply don’t care lol 😂 npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Why don’t you just say the truth? npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I have four kids lol you can deduce the rest 😂 npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL It’s a Curtis yarvin thing. I think of it like the stoic response. Rather than the reactionary response. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL You get self esteem by doing things that are worthy of esteem and then telling no one. New PR in the gym? Tell no one. Just made a million dollars? Tell no one. Have an amazing sex life? Tell no one. Promotion at work? Tell no one. Lost 50lbs? Tell no one. People might notice some of these things or changes you’ve made and that’s ok. Don’t be weird about it. If they comment say thank you and keep going. The reason you tell no one is so that you can switch your reference point from external to internal. Let others see the results. Don’t announce them. Anything you have that is enviable others will brag for you. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL There have been many people in my life who I had the ability to help and they would not allow themselves to be helped. Sometimes that fucks with me a bit. Like it was fully within my sphere of influence to fix their problems, but they just straight up categorically rejected the help in favor of a path of continued self destruction. I guess it’s normal. We never really do anything until we’re ready. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I really want you to win. Sincerely. I mean that. Just know that. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Haha I’m Irish by blood. Living in the American southwest has me tan as fuck. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Yeah once you’re off caffeine you realize you don’t need caffeine at all. Energy levels rise and fall naturally with the sun. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Dude I haven’t drank caffeine for months and this morning I randomly decided to have a nitro cold brew. This shit is drugs. I am literally tweaking right now lol npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL If I ever need to get mad I just check the for you tab on twitter. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL If you’re an American Bitcoiner who doesn’t own any guns you need to fix that. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Monday night football and sovereign wine. Life’s good. https://image.nostr.build/9780b3c65d3fbfdf18a06f02e04ed1483e52172f5ed524731bdaebe02ca82a3d.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL It feels weird to be proud of a billionaire, but in bitcoin terms I’m a big bro to Michael. This is a powerfully redemptive moment for him. His Hodl journey has been very public and just as emotive and full of turmoil as the rest of us. Michael was peers with bezos. He was one of the longest reigning tech ceos from the dot com bubble onwards. Except unlike bezos he was overlooked, his company left to chug along for decades. Neither taking over the world, nor exploding in infamy. Just a solid company that existed in relative obscurity to most of the population. It must have bothered Michael somewhat. Because you can tell that he is just as smart and calculating as his famous peers who’ve gotten all the headlines over the last 25 years. To them he’s like the rest of us Bitcoiner’s. A bit of a misfit. Someone who fell through the cracks. After years of patience he can now confidently sit in the CNBC studio and declare to the talking heads and the world direct to their faces. “Yes I was right. Yes I am beating all of you”. That’s the redemptive power of bitcoin. Whether you’re a billionaire or a pleb. You have the ability to reset your world and take your rightful place at the table. In many ways large and small bitcoin is about renegotiating your place in the world. https://m.primal.net/KksP.mov npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL If he doesn’t want to build the chair he’s not a keeper npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Wife: can we build this chair I ordered together at some point this afternoon? We work really well as a team and I’d love to help out. Me: sure I’ll build your chair. Wife: thank you 😊 lol ladies you can just ask nicely We’re gonna say yes anyway no need for subterfuge 😂 npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Sure, but also we have an obligation to speak out against clients who’s values don’t align with the principles of anti-censorship npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Turns out I was mistaken and nos.lol is not associated with the commies over @ nos.social Not malicious. Nos.social however is a malicious client run by extreme leftist ideologues. Avoid at all costs. #nevent1q…fdmx #note1vff…68lc npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL “No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association, movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this. Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others. I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers. This really happened. And it revealed everything. In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.” - Jeffrey Tucker npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL It’s real npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Are you ok? Lol npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL And somewhere out over the horizon is a new world.

But I believe in us. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I drink a lot of water npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Would like to know as well. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I’m assuming it’s connected to the commies over at nos.social npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I’m a shoot first and ask questions later kind of guy. I assume it is associated with those guys. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I’ve disconnected from the nos relay. Will be treating it as a malicious relay until further notice. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL We used to be a proper society. https://m.primal.net/Kiko.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Also a good fitness test npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL lol apparently the @npub1pu3…tfch client considers this post intolerance and hate speech.

Can you? npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL If you can’t do 500 push ups in a day you’re either physically weak, mentally weak or both. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Same team.

It’s not for sale. You gotta earn it. You want a strong trusting relationship with a beautiful person? It’s not for sale. You gotta earn it. You want a bitcoin? $54,611.26 One of these things is easier than the others. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Someone once described the Holy Ghost thing to me as water in three forms. Solid, liquid and gas. I think you’re probably right and that trust is a key part of the equation. I’ll have to overcome that hurdle at some point. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL If I ever forget and skip creatine for a day or two I can actually feel my brain function less effectively. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Brief background. I grew up catholic. Altar boy, Catholic school etc… in general I had good interactions with Catholicism, but definitely was harmed by the classic Catholic guilt at home with family etc… In middle school I went to a Lutheran school which was run by young earth creationists who in addition to being morons also happened to be hypocrites . Really turned me off on religion in general and I decided that I was an agnostic atheist at 13 or 14 years old. I basically stayed this way until I had children, which brought me around to believing in god again. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Christians, Help me out here. How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ? In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he exists to me more as a vague concept. Any advice? npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I regret to inform you that this is real 😂 #note18sh…r3ha npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL A psyop that gets perpetuated on young guys. 1. You gotta fuck a bunch of ho’s. 2. Don’t settle down until you’re 35-40 and you’ve got it out of your system. The group of successful guys I know with a lot of kids and a good marriage met their wife relatively young. Late teens - early twenties and then were married by 26/27 and had kids before they were 30. The other group of guys I know who played the field and settled down late tend to have more drama / divorce less kids on average and generally seem less happy. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Biggest white pill ever. The boomers in power will die soon of natural causes. And be replaced by their cowardly spineless effeminate sons. People with no competence. Who haven’t earned anything. Inheritors who believe in cargo cult engineering. They have no ability to build or maintain the empires they’ve been given. They will be trivially easy to defeat or resist. George soros is a fearsome adversary. Alex soros looks like he could be blown over by a strong gust of wind.

Me and three of my buddies were getting high in the back of my friend Dave’s mustang, when someone decided we needed to go on a beer run. For anyone who isn’t aware, a beer run is very literally what it sounds like. You grab a case of beer and run 🏃 out of the store before anyone catches you. Conversation then turned to who was going to do the beer run. (You only need one guy) My friend Dave was driving so he was out. I had turned 18 recently and I didn’t want to risk big boy jail. Which left my friend James and my friend Brad. James didn’t want to do it because he was wearing flip flops. Brad made up some bs about how he twisted his ankle skateboarding (which was a lie). So ultimately James was like “fine I’ll do it you fucking pussies” and he got out of the car. So we watch James walk into the grocery store from the car, the plan is to pick him up around back when he runs out. Here’s where things get crazy. The grocery store is next to a target and as James walk into the store a police helicopter pulls into the sky above the parking lot we’re in. “Fuck, this is bad. Ok quick call James 📱 let him know that the beer run is off.” I dial up James on my phone and as it’s ringing I see him bolt out of the store, two angry grocery clerks chase after him. He’s running so fast that his flip flops come flying off behind him and he’s now running barefoot on 130 degree asphalt. He turns the corner and the police helicopter sees him, and starts yelling at him through the bullhorn to get on the ground. He throws the beer in the air and puts his hands up. 70 cans of beer going rolling down the hill. We’re in the back of the mustang stoned. Watching all this play out, freaking the fuck out. We decide we better split, so we quietly drive off and go to my friends house. A few hours later we get a call from James, the cops are letting him go with a ticket and a court appearance and we can come pick him up from the target. We go to pick him up and we learn that there had been an armed robbery at the target at the exact time we were pulling off a beer run next door. Two masked men with guns were robbing the registers. They were both being apprehended precisely at the moment we were pulling off a stupid beer run. Talk about bad luck lol The cops saw him running and assumed he was part of it. They put him on the ground and had the K-9 unit guard him. After the dust cleared and they realized he was just a dumb kid on a beer run they decided to cut him loose. They had bigger fish to fry that day. My friend Dave and I still get together and tell this story at least once a year and always compare notes to make sure we remember it correctly. We joke about how everyone thinks we’re embellishing or outright lying when we tell them about the helicopter interrupting our beer run. I’ve been telling this story so long it almost doesn’t seem real to me either. But it definitely happened and was one of the craziest things I’d ever seen in my life lol 😂 npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Why do you think that is? Less homogeneous society? Internet culture? Lack of youth involvement? Less religious? What’s driving it? npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I sat on the edge of the bed just staring at the credits contemplating how fucked up life is. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I had a lot of friends like Jordan. Spent a lot of time in the kind of environments you’re describing. It was sad because you could tell by observing home environments like those that your friends didn’t really have a chance. Their unconscious conditioning had too much gravity and it would be too hard to escape it. I don’t know anyone who did. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I know this feeling well. I once watched requiem for a dream in a literal crackhouse lol 😂 it hit twice as hard. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL For a long time I thought investing in our era was hard and now I think it might be the easiest thing ever. Long real food Short fake food Long hard money Short soft money Long decentralized tech Short centralized tech Long science Short scientism Basically just find a 20th century institution that’s in decay and short it while longing its replacement. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I’ve felt this feeling before. Things are about to get really fucking exciting really soon npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Generally true: Most hodlers got here an epoch too late and they fucked up their stack by an order of magnitude. And yet they are still massively winning. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL During the nostr panel at the bitcoin conference a few weeks back I correctly anticipated and predicted the mounting pressure Elon Musk and X would face from global governments. https://m.primal.net/KZpF.mov npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Graduate students* npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Vintage ads are always good https://image.nostr.build/73f73a8ba3876afccc071f2cd2d20cdd900b22847d6d0ea53976be6e16711729.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL The moral of the story is the “experts” are total retards. https://image.nostr.build/3348cf7015ceeda4a0e961246b0dada02f0118b4b0c2a9b31bb5b23839c69423.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Here’s the empathy. The harsh reality of bitcoin adoption was true then and it’s still true now. The same feeling you have about people who were earlier than you will be had by people who were later than you about you. Bitcoin still has 100x + to go. The ultimate kindness is to make people aware of this reality and offer them help and resources to position themselves in order to take advantage. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL The harsh reality is that tickets were available to everyone on earth with an internet connection. You didn’t even need money early on. Bitcoin was literally free, people were just giving it away. So technically yes you did have the ability to buy a ticket. Even though I bought fairly early, I should have been here even earlier. I knew about bitcoin in 2011 and chose not to act. That’s true for most OG’s. Then when we finally did act we had to endure ridicule about our beliefs in addition to the emotional volatility of our investment. It wasn’t easy in the slightest and most of the people I know from back then are out of bitcoin now. Very few hodled. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Cagr is basically 50% and people are complaining about price action lol 😂 this is an infinite money glitch. https://image.nostr.build/4a9528d5d70a8113e2e9fa1eb2f1130fccdb99246d26d0d9ea2173bb5399b0d3.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL I think America really fucked up by not forcing the Marshall plan to be contingent on 1A and 2A. If you’re going to take American dollars you need to share American values. This should be our new policy strategy in relation to all foreign aid /protection / trade etc… You do business with America? You gotta act like America. You need to have American values. You don’t want American values? Cool fund yourself. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Be unapologetic. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL If it holds even beyond next year I’ll change my mind. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL It’s just a line that goes up and to the right. lol why are people excited by it? We all know bitcoin goes up and to the right. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL The idea that bitcoins ascent is orderly/predictable npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Some of the people promoting it come off as poor cringe hucksters. Many bitcoin will be lost by people attempting to trade it. npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL The power law thing is fucking dumb npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL 1 is more important than 3 because getting 1 wrong can halve your stack lol npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL 3 decisions shape your life. 1.

There are only NGU coins (Bitcoin) and NGD coins (everything else). npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL https://image.nostr.build/eb93e36382e057b17cbc49f667f0e8c19e5d87a12b66a2c9f6fd749c28e79b50.jpg npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs HODL Digitally my stats are very good.
