For Russians, being from the MOST sanctioned country in the world, the biggest issue is BANKING and BANK CARDS when traveling outside of Russia. If you EVER questioned whether financiers control things, watch this (begin at 7:30 if only interested in banking). BITCOIN FIXES THIS.

Bonus while attending this week’s Nashville Bitcoin Park Meetup with Bitcoin (Military) Veterans:
Concessions are Lightening, had CashApp and BlueWallet so SOL … not so fast, Lightening freak was there (name?) and hooked me up with Aqua, installed, passed sats from BlueWallet to Aqua in like three minutes—ah, refreshment.
I scanned QR at register too fast (missed the Lightening button) and paid on chain. Oh well, NIK.

Some very Badass Bitcoiners are among us. In your face courage and very encouraging. Principled brains and brawn joining principled Bitcoin techies and academics.
Very interesting perspectives from veterans on state of US, US military, citizen action and how important Bitcoin is for America’s future.
All of us are required for salvaging what once was and what will be once again WILL BE!
FIND AND THANK THESE VETERANS FOR THEIR INTEGRITY AND CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR OUR TRUE FREEDOM!

No takers on my earlier challenge, here’s how I got the twelve baked in:
-get a few (or more) 12-sided dice
-draw circle and make clock
-add your twelve
Learning with visual aid (position), repetition and increasingly spaced intervals:
-in the beginning practice with one die a few times a day
-when you have it nailed, add dice and repeat
-increase intervals gradually until flawless (days, weeks, months)
I’m not going to test this theory, but I think this will work even if you get a minor head injury!

“But the US isnt „the greatest country in the world“ because of its presidents - if anything, it is *in spite* of them.”
There is often a causal delay where the incumbent is a beneficiary of or hobbled by the previous administration’s policies, making it difficult to credit or blame.
All the more reason for us to actively engage.

Monsters know EVERYONE has their price. They work VERY to find the price of any one of note or utility. Their offering will be FAR beyond your wildest dreams, yet a mere pittance for them. It actually amuses them how little they pay, for they know when they find your tipping point all they will ask in exchange is your soul, which for you is hard to comprehend to have value. When the deal is done you’ll march and march you will, now with and as one of them.

Off-topic but worthy in the bigger picture. NOTHING escapes shrinkflation! Looking at a box of Q-tips recently (625), then a Q-tip itself which seemed smaller. Hmm.
I thought what the hell and did a search. Sure enough, some guy already reported from a few years to recent, a Q-tip has shrunk from .5gm to .4 gm!
I’m SURE the excess weight was removed from the cardboard stick.

Though I’m new to it, I really like your work and insight and will catch up with your past work, then continue following.
This can all be resolved very simply by not treating Saylor like a god, no longer should anyone give him a platform to speak about bitcoin and ask him to do his thing and shut the fuck up. He’s had a god complex that is rolling like a snowball. The avalanche crew often opens the day with planned disruption for skiers safety.
My fear is that he is now killing the spirit of the people who built his soapbox.
This is a lot to ask. I’m a noob and a nobody in the Bitcoin sphere, but I have been successful in business and have pretty good radar. I felt and saw this coming and began commenting with VERY limited exposure, yet seem to be tracking some of your comments Elton John/Bernie Taupin like (damn I’m old !) I would really appreciate it if you would read what little I’ve written and be brutally honest with me, publically or privately. I’m not getting ANY feedback from anyone.
This is the only thing I can point to for a modicum of cred: InveCast.com
This business has given me broad exposure to good and bad practices, good and bad people and I’ll soon be done participating in the economy in that manner. I no longer want to feed the beast and have a bullseye on my back for the taxman. I’m pissed.
Thanks in advance for any time you give this.

Appears you haven’t done much research prior making this statement:
“Bitcoiners just want to be contrarians for the sake of being contrarian, make an enemy just for the sake of it.” Clueless. There ARE two distinct camps. You need to understand the motives of both. Funny thing about “good and evil,” both are necessary to define the other and the scale is always moving. Focus on the direction to understand the battle.

Unpacking is a great word, as is dissecting in Saylor’s statement.

… don't really want the United States government to say …
He’ll need to define (name) the government to which he refers.
… the perfect tool for money laundering, …
Call out THE greatest “money launderers,” their role in OUR government and you’ll discover their true motives.
… now it becomes the enemy, now we're going to shut it down.“

Very good question. By reasoned choice, both short-view and long-view. I suspect Marty is pretty good at this and his answer demonstrates this (though he must be a VERY fast reader!).

The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. #note14vh…dpqy

Well I learned a bit about Jack Dorsey last night via interview videos and you (Bitcoiners) should too.
Props, and I am definitely NOT an altruist.
Learned more than enough about Michael Saylor this morning. Don’t get me wrong, Saylor’s been good FOR Bitcoin, but Bitcoin has been better TO him.
Based on what I’ve found, would you even want Saylor to contribute to OpenSats? For one thing:
9. Growing up, Saylor played Dungeons and Dragons, and always insisted on being the Dungeon Master because he "liked to create and control situations."
What Saylor does with $30M:
10. He owns a yacht named USHER — after a computer software, not the singer. (Check out link at end)
More:
12. MicroStrategy is a business intelligence company that uses computer software to collect and sell consumer insight to customers.
13. In many ways, MicroStrategy is the forebearer of targeted ads as we know them today.
16. In 2000, MicroStrategy was accused by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for fraudulent finance reports. The claims were eventually settled, with Saylor himself paying $8.3 million of his personal money.
17. Following the accusations, MicroStrategy's stock plunged $6 million.
27. In addition to investing MicroStrategy's money into Bitcoin, Saylor himself (as of October,) held close to 18,000 Bitcoin.
Much of above ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: FEB. 11, 2021
Even more telling:
https://www.justluxe.com/lifestyle/luxury-yachts/feature-1953972.php
IMO, who the fuck is Saylor to question motive?

YES. I’ll take humility, integrity, honesty, consistency, dogged determination and willingness to admit mistakes over a person making a good investment decision any time, every time.
I’m wondering if this is simply a good investment for Saylor rather than a real commitment to the Bitcoin sphere.
Would we be hearing so much Saylor if it hadn’t turned out well? You’ve heard and will continue to hear ODELL. I’m with MATT and will ride Bitcoin to zero.

Correction, it’s MicroStrategy.
Seems to me ODELL has been at this longer than Saylor and ODELL has been as consistent in his message as the day is long.

I’ll get serious (briefly) so I don’t lose any more followers. 😂 Or irritate Jack, whom I’ve never even SEEN in person, while some here have or even know him.
I believe what Jack did is one of the, or possibly THE most significant act by anyone, to my knowledge in recent Bitcoin history. More significant than Saylor’s massive stockpiling and more important than Blackrock’s entry. What Jack did is MANY things:
-first, it’s a major personal donation,
-it’s major support for those who work or will be working (for your benefit!),
-it’s a significant investment in the future for countless beneficiaries,
-more importantly, it’s a huge vote of confidence, or rather two votes,
-a vote of confidence in the Bitcoin sphere, AND,
-a vote of confidence in OpenSats by a majorly credible person.
Most important, it’s an EXAMPLE we all can/should follow.
You likely at least know OF Jack as do I, but honestly I don’t know enough about him, but soon will.
(Yawn), nice words, we know, good for you, so what?
I’m not done…
…so while I think/write, at least learn about OpenSats and how they work.

You are spot on, don’t forget BITCOIN is freedom tech for LIVING!
Prudent to hold some cash for bail, legal and accounting expenses, or have a friend who does,
ie Samourai bust. #note15jp…8gt5

BITCOINERS to some degree, the public in general (the recent generation or two and the elderly particularly) just don’t get the degree loss of privacy will rock their world.
“ …annoyance with himself for letting his world be rocked by fame. HE’S GIVEN UP HIS PRIVACY HIS CONTROL. HIS LIFE IS PUBLIC NOW. In this way, he’s the man who sold himself out.”

You don’t listen to or read the material Marty and Matt produce, you study it as if your future depends on it—because it does.

Why I’ve become a radical for BITCOIN.
I’m an American MANUFACTURER.
I’m not an importer/reseller. I do not provide a service. I don’t assemble, package and sell. Nothing I do will EVER be available on Amazon.
None of the above are necessary without what I and others like me do.
I buy elements that have been mined from the earth e.g. chromium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, silica, iron, a dozen or so others and turn it into numerous steels: mild steels, alloy steels, tool steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, from which I make castings. My castings are used in numerous machines and equipment that enable secondary, tertiary, etc, manufacturers to produce what they do. Without what my industry produces NO modern plane or rocket could leave the earth, no nuclear reactor could be built hence, we would have no defense systems. I AM A PRIMARY MANUFACTURER.
I’ve worked in my industry for 50 yrs this month. I started a business in this industry just over 32yrs ago. TODAY it is no longer possible to do what I did and it’s not because I’m special. What I did back then is now so regulated, the financial barriers so great, the available labor is so hobbled and the number of no-value-added costs so high that it is nearly impossible to start small and grow. Today, new foundries are the offspring of existing foundries operating at scale that are bankable and believe it or not, this isn’t workable over the long-term.
This month I am nearly finished CLOSING my business. Please understand I am not going-out-of-business due to necessity—I had healthy sales and profitability in 2023 and the first quarter of this year.
I have decided to no longer do what I have done, I quit. Very simply a hard, healthy, abrupt stop.
Why and what does this have to do with BITCOIN? At this point I personally have NO other means to disrupt a very broken system and BITCOIN along with the great minds behind Bitcoin alone will facilitate the commerce that will enable a rebuilding—possibly before complete destruction.
The government that is funded BY us, exists only because of OUR work, has been working with those who will destroy us.
BITCOIN fixes this and it is time to risk our lives and our fortunes to build BITCOIN as our financial system, and defend it.
To fail in this is to assure our continuing enslavement.
“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
-not my words, rather my spirit.
So, answer me this, “Who IS Bitcoin?”

When it comes to TradFi, Bitcoiners be like:

I believe David Draiman is classically trained. Much more to this man than meets the eye, kinda like Lynn Alden. Much love. #note1cey…ht0p

When Paul Simon was asked what he thought of Disturbed’s cover of his song “Sound of Silence,” he replied something to the effect, “What used to be my song.”
Class act. Don’t expect TradFi to be as gracious about the BITCOIN steamroller. 🤭 #note19l2…sudm

BITCOIN has NO sympathy for the devil and knows his name!
Long video but stay with it, @8:10 Mick mouths (inaudible) words looking directly at the camera. Stones were (I believe) in a legal dispute at the time and the message was related.

I’ve researched and nailed down every lyrical reference but one.
"And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay.” (Mumbai) I believe reference to Sassoon opium empire, NOT hippies.

Any takers?

SO interesting that BITCOIN has the predators beginning to behave like prey.

Your “Save the Devs” got me thinking and engaged—real skin in the game. You are so creative, such a free spirit. Checked in this morning to comment and zap you for that piece, then found you were gone and got the story from other comments. This explanation you provided tells me you don’t need other’s words, you know yourself. Come when ready, we’ll be here WildChild. 🌹

I’m joining this fight now too, shedding baggage, regaining time and marshaling resources. Support the drivers, save the devs.

I’m with you. I checked in to zap her biggly for her “Save the Devs” bit. Damn, she knows how to make a point! If you’re out there, you’re missed—take care of your brain WildChild.

Agree on both. Just hope she takes good care of her brain matter.
