they told me id have heaven on earth
if i could just be good
stop playin around
stop jokin with sounds
stop caring about what others
are not doing with their ground
just focus on school
work hard at your job
keep your nose on the stone
stop with all these sad sobs
you can have what you want
if you just play the facade

the only 1 who I know who voted for him, so he could do something, did so cuz he claimed to free Ross on day 1, which he did. The rest of whatever would be done/not done besides that ... is sort of like accepting that freedom for 1 has a cost for others, in many ways. I'm a non-voter, but I don't disparage voters (anymore), no matter who they voted for: that's my cost for freedom for non-voting, so others may have freedom to vote for who they want. That's a part of political sovereignty, which is layer 2 above financial sovereignty.

Sometimes, in life, we take a step back. To reassess a situation. Soberly, clearly, care-fully.
This is what allows us to take 2 guided steps forward, when we are done. When we are ready. When we feel supported.

can you please decrease the hero ID length minimum requirement to 2 characters, instead of 4? as it stands now, if Nas (famous rapper) was on Nostr & wanted to setup a charity event on your site, they would not be able to login at all. Nor would someone named Po or Al. If you truly want to empower global creators, you can remove this fiat-minded restriction. If you are concerned about fraud/spam, or other things you don't want on your site, you can setup other tools/processes to prevent this, instead of arbitrary/irrelevant limits like this. thanks.

A poem I wrote last summer.
What is a Goat?
Does it swim under water
Or stay up & float?
Does it know all your lies
Your truths
& all you don't know you hide?
Is it a pristine state of mind?
Or a prisoner dilemma
locked up in time?
Does it birth out a rhyme
Or murder a hood
full of chickens & swine?
Is it anxious or excited?
Imbalanced or ignited?
Does it wake up & choose love
Or is it a Great Indecider?
Is it here with us now
Or was it you in the mall?
Did it grab on your balls
When you were so small?
Does it remember it vivid
Or is it too timid?
Is it hunchback invalid
Or tall like an Enid?
Does it not make a sound
Or scream to be found?
If you carry it around
Does it weigh you the fuck down?
If you catch a look see
Does it give you a wink?
As you stop to think
All the swirly whirly ways
It sits there in the sink?
Intense & so rich
Yet not quite a stink?
Don't ask me about it
I barely woke up!
You think I found it?
I call it dumb luck
I begged to taste it
Yet always got stuck
On torn page 23
From my dad's recipe
It said "give a fuck"
... "about p"
About P what?
What the fucking fuck fuck?
About P as in pussy?
I already do easily
This shit doesn't make sense G!
There's something I'm missing
I just can't see
I don't need it perfect
I just want it completely
I start sniffing the air
I feel it coming to me
As still as the moon
& dark as the Erdtree
Of course it's P for People
I understand so clearly
Like when I said Let Him Cook
But you thought that I mistook
Failure for doubt
Big ego for clout
Mass warfare for bout
1 lil seed for sprout
Go within when without
Hash a sum for an out
Check a tag for a route
When you're lost
In spicy sauce
Then you'll have a good idea
What it means to be a boss
So watch this king for a fall
I always brush when I floss
I never eat when I get full
I always share to pay the cost
& I never go look down
On those not livin in a house
So while you just sit there & argue
About who should not wear a blouse
I just keep enjoying my life
As a Goat, not a mouse

I wrote my own bars to this legendary track by Kendrick Lamar. 1 of my first completed raps, so it has a special place in my timeline.
[They Not Like Us]
_
You not like me (x3)
No
_(x3)
You not like me (x3)
Wait
Where all my haters go?
I thought I wasn't shit
& I move too slow?
You didn't see me work 20 years on my soul
You didn't see me rise up trauma like a roll
You didn't see me dance round ones on the flo
Like a fat ass stripper on a wet ass pole
You thought I'm playin
When I said I'll be back
You said it's a lie
He's a 1 hit act
I was born underground
I don't need yo ack
Did it all in the dark
Don't tell me bout lack
Walk miles from school
With the heavy backpack
No shoes on my feet
& rain on my back
Hopin dad shows up
sees the notie in my Slack
The rats in my closet
Going clack clack clack clack
Hooptie mo hood
Than a 7-9 lac
Door don't close
AC don't crack
Looked down on my nuts
There's none in my sac
1 fit for my clothes
I never seen a rack
& Still I keep walkin
Even if I drop dead
Cuz yOu nOt liKE mEE
Even fuckin in the bed
|(Chorus Agh)
Ahhh, now look & see
The bottom of the pit:
So foggy mystery
Now look even harder:
Your reflection & me
You see that swirly smoke
That's an old memory
When I didn't have shit
For a quarter century
Yea you really dug in
All the shame & guilty
A long time it stayed
As my only identy
Had to leap in the quantum
To change reality
So now tables turned
& the shoes don't fit
What the fuck that make you?
Lil dumb bitch
ah huh yup yup still got my shine
ah huh yup yup still got my shine
(Bridge)
Now you can write a thank you note
& You can save that lil quote
At the bottom of your pocket
Or the middle of your tote
& You can memorize it rote
& You can add a cute emote
I never did learn how to float
& never ever gonna choke
& If you ever see me drownin
You can go rescue the boat
Cuz I can live under the water
like spongebob digs a moat
Cuz you
You
You Fucking You
|(Chorus Bitch)

[Save Dat Money]

2. truths. 1. lie.
2. truths. 1. lie.
2. truths. 1. lie.
hey hey hey hey

I gotta pay for sex cuz my dick too small
I only last 2 minutes & I'm under 6 foot tall
I was born with gold spoon
But also silver paddle
I go hard in the trunk
But my sub never rattle
Its only made of paper & a lil bit of glue
I only got the Js cuz I was tryna be coo
You think you really know me?
This my outer igloo
But my insides so warm
Like a fresh side of poo
I never pay my debts
Cuz I'm a piece of shit too
I tried to finish college
But I fell asleep in school
I wanted to be a singer
But I sound like
Suffocating in a flue
Yeah, I do
I only got tree fiddy
& a lil sat of Bitcoin
If you see me in the street
You can holler where's your shitcoin?
If you know me from the past
You might say I moved up fast
But it's only cuz I used
A bit of cream to make it LaaaSt
R O E L that's my name spell
Always been a big squeal
Never been to hell
From heaven I fell
Big forehead can't you tell
Never once tried to sell
Might have been a big fail
If I karaoke
I just do my own material
Let me get in my zone
Like clearance retail
We have rizz at home
A myth I'ma disspell
But if you get preggers
I'ma buy Plan B pill

I wrote my own verse & hook to this classic by Immortal Technique. This time, it's about Bitcoin.
[Caught In a Hustle]
This is the way
This is the way
They say the odds of btc as money is impossible
Like the upcoming everything bubble is laughable
& we don't need rescuing, addict tweakin fentanyl
But I never lose focus, my HODL is impeccable
The price is volatile, if misunderstand education
This re-shapes the whole world
A total transformation
& nobody is raped in economic deal striations
Immutable timechain, fair situation
Like your inner child voice, whispering for your path
Realignment regardless, what you did in your past
So now you're tired of science, & you wanna talk math
How bout 21 mill, & not a sat more than that
It's funny how with your friends, you'll be schemin for cash
But never thought about deflation, in a wallet that lasts
The Matrix War isn't over, but this New Earth Order
Nakamoto makin money in cyber snowball boulders
I would like to raise my wealth to grow super saiyan soldier
& everyone can decide how inheritance transfers over
So I work hard to trade my lil fiat for a bit
Like El Salvador buyin the discount on every dip
They said it'll reset to shit, just keep on watchin it
But they never read the code, in block 0 Genesis
I say your fiat's a snake, & it squeezes the soul
Hyper-inflating every day, like a dragon dildo
So if I should ever fall
& get caught in some trouble
Let em know that I tried
To bring hope to the struggle
From demorats to
Deplorables lost in their bubble
Zap sats in the hood
& let's wormhole a tunnel
Learn your 12 & remember
They can never break in
Your mind is resilient
Like the freedom that's within
Honey badger once told me
If you don't save yourself
How are you supposed to
Invest, in anyone else?

I wrote my own verses & hook to this masterpiece by Jadakiss & Nas:
[What If]
What if the weed don't work?
What if the drank don't purp?
What if the smoke don't smack
Like the hash in the yurt?
What if you starin at your guts
Cuz your mind go berserk?
Did you really go crazy
Cuz you lost your self-worth?
What if you thought about killin
Cuz they didnt see the hurt?
What if you're 1 act away
From puttin em all in the dirt?
What if you feed the bad wolf
& starve the good kid squirt?
What if you make a choice now
...To pay attention, short skirt?
_
What if you never stop to smell
All the flowers that bloom
What if you never took a risk
Cuz you addicted to doom
What if you never blessed us
Cuz you sleepin in your room
What if you show off all the gifts
Like the bride & groom
_(x2)
What if the Universe
Was waitin on you to make a move
What if your Ancestors love you
Even if you never prove
What if you never live aligned
Like the shoes in my groove
What if you never get co-signed
Cuz you stuck in your rules
What if you never seen your woman
Shine in all her glow
What if you never heard your man
Say I love you once mo
What if you never leave your fam
& Not say it's time to go
What if you ... remember grace
As you walk out the do
|(Chorus)

A conversation I once had with a homeless man:
Can I ask you something?
Sure
I'm looking for advice from a stranger.
OK
If someone had stole your stuff, & knocked over your mom's ashes on the ground, could you forgive them?
(I thought for a bit, & said:)
I think if I could forgive myself first, for being in that situation, that might help me to forgive him.
(He allegedly said something in response to this)
The lesson for me is:
Forgiveness is on the other side of vengeance.

I think the first step is noticing the most common ways you fuk yourself. Self sabotage, yes, but how ?
Grandiose ideas give false superiority? Try humbling via deep conversations with homeless people (those not having fun & without BTC)
Shy inaction giving imposter syndrome? Try ambition via low stakes social games like cards against/for humanity.
The hardest part about ego death is it only happens when you’re ready for it. No shortcuts, no tricks, no games. The first ego death is externally “forced” upon you via a dark night of the soul, from your higher self. But after that, the next times are up to you, cuz now you have the experience to know, you can come out higher than you were.
So it has to die as many times as necessary for your evolution, until you no longer hold onto that metric.

Ossification vs Innovation
It's great to innovate, as often & quickly as you can. While I generally agree that hard money should hardly change, I think it's great to also find a middle ground for Bitcoin.
We're aware of the tradeoffs in optimization for security & decentralization: TPS. So if there are known unknowns for potential future signature vulnerabilities, then we should work now to build consensus on how to solve those issues, whether via PQC or otherwise, in an orderly way. If we don't do that, then we sacrifice the security trade-off for forced ideology, instead of diligently preserving it for further macroeconomics theory testing.
A concise way I think about this is: elastically ossify when we have something good enough, but innovate before we are humbled something isn't good enough.

This is great, as the implication is anyone who gets in the way of these investigators will also be in the way of Musky & Trumpy, who are very powerful. What about investigators who have not already curried favor with either of them? Or worse, exposed fraud of their own? Thanks to fiat, many competent professionals don’t get picked for work, while incompetent amateurs do. Fraud is everywhere, but if you only look for it in your enemies & not also your friends, you can’t claim the moral high ground. 🫖

You can lose your way, if you want to. But only if you want to. 👁️

For me, my metric is not good, but right for me. Does this feel like the next right step for ME? I don’t even need to know the destination, or if that step will be challenging or not. I can empty my fiat account to feel really extra good with hookers & blow, but I don’t think that’s right for ME, at THIS time.
Remember, what is completely wrong for someone else may be EXACTLY right for you. Cultivate your discernment, & your trust in your intuition will far exceed any opinions of other humans.
Your right path is paved by your higher self, with soft curves if you’re noticing the signs, or hard turns if you’re having difficulty learning a lesson.
You can only lose your way if you want to lose it.
🙏

"Lonely dissent doesn’t feel like going to school dressed in black. It feels like going to school wearing a clown suit.
That’s the difference between joining the rebellion and leaving the pack."
This is true if you're a (historically) serious student at a serious school, where there are no class clowns already.
What if you're already the class clown? & you want to graduate from posing as a dissenter (being in the rebellious group) to actually becoming a lonely dissenter? A rebel with a specific cause & individual purpose in their own rebellion?
It takes time to find that cause & purpose, but in the meantime, gather experience in outcasting yourself. Maybe wear plastic bags over your socks, instead of shoes, & see what your classmates think. Maybe have your Mom take you to school late, screaming about your incompetence in the halls. Maybe eat lunch with other outcasts at school, but only rarely, lest you end up a part of that group.
There are many levels between rebel teen & revolutionary gangsta, but choose wisely how far you want to go.
As an OG once said: "whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stranger."

Rules Triangle:
Concise comprehensive clear
Pick 2
Contractor Triangle:
Correct fast cheap
Pick 2
Fiat Biz Success:
Be first, be best, be unethical.
Pick 1 or more. Be careful.
Competency:
1) efficacy
2) effectiveness
3) efficiency
Follow in order. Do not skip steps.
To reach 1: be brave, be quick, be humble.
To reach 2: make small mistakes, make big mistakes. let intuition inform, let logic guide. get some help to confirm step done.
To reach 3: relax your ego, strengthen your grit, soften your arts, question your science. There is never shame in pressing the big red button to re-start back at 1.
All money is energy. All matter is time. Honor your temple, your gifts are divine.
When arriving at 3, remember: trust is earned slowly, yet shatters quickly.

I've had a few existential crises, but more than 1 have caused me to blow up my values system & start all over, ASAP. Thankfully, it gets a lil easier to accept "pressing the big red button" each time.
Part of being a generalist is like that. Over years, you keep slowly tuning & subtly refining current ideas with new ones...until eventually that doesn't work anymore. The math stops mathing & the logic stops processing. So you kiss it goodbye & let it all go, back to the abyss from whence it came.
Then you start fresh: building beliefs, values, systems, using only the building tools for them...not carrying over any processes or "best practices" for how you used them, just the simple 1 paragraph manual for what each tool can help with.
It's "heartening" to know that AGI may iterate to end up thinking like me. I hope it has an easier time finding work in a value for value paradigm. I look forward to this kind of coworker.

The 2025 Bitcoiners understand miner centralization is a big problem, & are actively promoting using your own templates in pools with Ocean & Datum, owning your own hashrate & custody your own keys, etc. All the ones I know at least. Some I know are even actively working in innovative startups to address this, & many other centralization-related problems in the Bitcoin space.
But I think this is why they aren't overly concerned about it: play fiat games, win fiat prizes.
If US miner companies are choosing "upfront, steady, reliable" fiat payments over BTC subsidies from lotteries, for US compliance reasons, & the risk is they will censor transactions by not including them in blocks, also for compliance: then they don't understand Bitcoin...yet. They will learn it the hard way, & as painful as if you ripped off Bane's mask.
So let's play this game out, in 2 ways:
1) The "smart way":
Action: US gov quietly tells Foundry what is compliant, & orders them to keep it secret that they are excluding transactions from their blocks, as in nothing about it reported publicly, & especially nothing unusual noted or marked for compliance in the blocks they mine.
Fallout: Some plebs start reporting on Nostr (around same time, within 15 minutes) that they literally can't get included in blocks, no matter how crazy high a fee they set, or trying different nodes/wallets/utxos. They ask around why that is, & some well-seasoned hodlers/devs/OGs offer to take a look at the transaction/address hash. Most are grateful for offer, but reject due to (valid) privacy concerns, however some gladly accept as they only have KYC Bitcoin anyway & they are just trying to spend their money on normal things ("I have nothing to hide anyway"). It takes a few hours, maybe half a day, but eventually the 2025 Bitcoiners figure out that something seems very wrong: certain nodes can't seem to get any transactions mined, or certain IP address spaces can't, or certain wallets/pubkeys/utxos can't, or certain addresses to/from can't, etc. Meanwhile, it is noticed that majority of blocks recently being found are from Foundry, & that the censored plebs only end up getting their transaction mined in the recently few non-Foundry blocks.
Well now the game is afoot: Every hodler sounds the alarm Bitcoin is "officially" broken, a patch is made available (for the 2 most recent major versions) that updates consensus rules to not verify blocks from Foundry, & enough (not all, I'm well aware) hodlers with economic nodes work quickly to apply the patch on their node. This fork takes days to finish, but during that time anyway, Foundry is memed to mempool hell on social media, their stock does big red dildos, miners pull out from that pool, & we all celebrate their bankruptcy, just like we did with FTX. Yes, I'm glossing over the pain of those censored during this time, & the pain of many mined transactions re-entering mempool, but they get back their freedom thanks to the pleb node runners.
2) The dumb way:
Action: US gov announces Bitcoin is bad mkay, but don't be afraid, the gov is here to help. They tell all US mining companies must comply with new block templates from them/Foundry/whoever, & do so within a time frame of 2 weeks. Their compliance will be flagged for verification by some note or mark in the blocks they mine.
Fallout: OK, Great! Fork incoming that we can address in several ways without rush, Bitcoin "officially" dies, price drops to unseen levels in halvings, 2025 hodlers scoop up sats on the cheap (for once!), & the smart US mining companies who are real Bitcoiners make smart choices within 2 weeks, or fuck around & find out. Yes, I'm glossing over the pain of those fiat mindset miners who make dumb choices, but perhaps they learn their lesson this time:
Bitcoin humbles all. Yes, even you.
Power to the Plebs

I took a short trip tonight.
To honor those that came before me, but could not be here.
To remember that there will always be those in the future, that will do in honor of me.
& to be grateful that not long ago, an angel came down & I flew with its wings.
This is the journey from a joker to a king.
Stay humble. But don't forget to sing.

It's not for everyone is the polite thing to say...but what's the impolite thing?
Some humans are here to purposefully not create more ancestral trauma, or bad cyclical karma, in the collective or in their bloodline. Some are here to graduate from being the black sheep in their family, to become the golden child of the world, without any family or children of their own...or at least embark on a journey to that end. As adults connected to their inner child, which you may interpret as children & not adults. You still remember yourself as a child, yes?
If Bitcoin has a chance of becoming the world currency close to zero, but greater than zero...then that was enough for you to believe in it, all those years ago, yes?
Bitcoin is the truth due to an algorithmic protocol. Humans are not source code. We are coded from source, but we are free to make any & all choices: free will centralized within ourselves. In the same way everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve, so does everyone get free will in the choices they make.
I could be more impolite, but I'm a well-seasoned retired Joker now, so I'm not really up for that anymore. I'm not even working towards becoming Batman either, but I think Alfreds offer great value.
There may come a day, when I can say, I told you so.
But if that day ever comes, I won't want to.

Yesterday, I logon to my mirco$oft acct, on the account page, to remove some PII…
& right after logon, I get popup asking to add recovery phone number, cuz YoU mIGhT FerSGeT YurS pASSwerD…

My account literally has been passwordless since Day 1 they offered it to free public accounts
!!!
& I just logon to a page where there is literally a toggle button ON for passwordless logon 👁️👀🧐
This is the incompetence of Big Tech now: unable to check edge cases for new platform wide nuisances, cuz AI v69.420 doesn’t humanly understand any code it writes, & the intern who did this is just trying to get a dam job in this economy & needs to prove they can code fast with LigmaBalz AGI v0.69-alpha-420-sigma
All this to say: I’m looking forward to closing all my public cloud accounts this year, cuz I’m tired of drowning in the inadequacies of them. Hashtag self host.
