Right wingers?
Heard of the constitution?
There is one reason American - as bad and tyrannical as it was during the covid hysteria Bullshit - was better than other supposed “free” countries like Canada and Australia.
One reason alone.

Headed out to South Bend meetup in a few.
Looking forward to meeting some new folks into freedom.

The finished mural!
The artist surprised me with an add-on after I had left town (headed to Bitcoin2024). It was a bit risky for him to do that IMO, because I was not consulted. But I have to admit - it was a great plus. Here’s a pic of the end result. Fricken Fantastic!

I listened to this podcast more than all others combined. Ty for all you have done to move the needle forward. Very impressive sir.
I tried to donate some cash to you a few years ago in Nashville - because I was completely new to bitcoin
(and we were still in the midst of the tyranny insanity) and I wanted it to go to wherever it could help most to foster freedom, which bitcoin means to me.
You said you would rather I divide it up and donate to some homeless people (which was admirable) but I wanted it to go to helping make BTC stronger.
I think you probably thought I was a whack job - Haha (when I am really just a simple freedom minded pizza guy).
Preston Pysh actually intervened and accepted the check from me on your behalf (though it was never cashed) (and I’ve since donated btc to stuff you and others have suggested - Canadian truckers, etc).
Freedom - for me, my children, my grandchildren, my country, the world; means more to me than anything.
And I never felt it in a more precarious state than in the last few years.
I thank you again, for all you have done, all whom you have helped, and all you have inspired.
Absolutely great job sir.
I wish you well.

2024-07-25 04:44:29

Headed to Nashville in early morning. (About a 7 hr. Drive)
See some of you tonight!

Working on a mural in my Hometown of Colon, MI. Hired a GREAT mural artist out of Ft. Wayne, Indiana; Mike Bowers.

If Bitcoin pulls politicians in, I think that’s a good thing, no?
I don’t think we have to idolize any politician, nor any BTC “star”.
As they say - alway be ready slay your heroes.
But If and until they fall - let them help build and foster the adoption.
If Republicans are pro-bitcoin that’s a good thing.
If Trump is becoming pro-bitcoin that’s a good thing.
And if Trump wins and actually Frees Ross, that is a great thing.

I think it’s a great thing. I live in Michigan. During the Scam-Demic BS our Dem governor was a tyrannical bitch. Thankfully we live only 20 mins from Indiana. We drove down there constantly for some freedom. And I drove (because I would not wear their slave mask to fly) to Florida 5x’s for some freedom.
It was pretty obvious Rep governors (as bad as they were)
were far, far better than Dems.
So I’m hoping for more republicans in the vain of a Thomas Massie, or Rand Paul.
Further - I’ll take another crack at secured borders, sane and legal immigration, a court a little more to the right, more favorable administration towards energy.
Trump has now spoken in favor of BTC. And the cherry on top: Freeing Ross.
I’m not a hero worshiper, - that includes (as good as they may be for now) Saylor, Mallers, many others.
As the saying goes you always have to be ready to slay your heroes when they fail.
But - for now - I see this as a big win for bitcoin.

2024-07-04 06:42:43

Later Today I’ll watch a parade in Honor of freedom.
And yet more than 1/2 the people in the crowd did squat to fight against the tyranny we saw foisted on the world the last 4 years.
And ironically (and sadly) they will not think anything of it…

2024-07-02 05:19:38

Had our windows cleaned today by a couple of 20 y.o. College kids. I Asked one of them if they had bitcoin. He said, “No, but I have ethereum.”
I tipped him with bitcoin.

I’m a libertarian/conservative. I voted for Trump both times and I’ll vote for him again.
I’d rather have a Rand Paul or a Thomas Massie, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
I live in Michigan, which was “lockdowned” (what a shitty word, let’s call it what it was: Tyranny).
Thank god I live in a rural area 20 mins from Indiana.
My wife and I were in Indiana 2-3 times a week for some freedom. And drove to Florida 5x’s (because I would not wear their slave mask to fly).
Republican ran states - as bad as they initially were, were far, far better than Democrat ran states.
Christ - Michigan took millions of dollars to Indiana and beyond during that BS.
I’ll take 1/2 a loaf, maybe even 1/4 of a loaf, as opposed to none.

We have had 3 meetups in Colon, Michigan.
Magic Capital Bitcoin
(Find on X, orange pill)
We are in a small town.
3 Hours east of Chicago. Hoping to have a 4th in early August.
Because we are 3 hours from Chicago, 2
Hours west of Detroit. 3 hrs North of Indy and 90 mins South from @npub1j9l…xy0g we are hoping
to be a central meetup place
for a large geographical area. 2 of our meetups were on a Saturday. Meet at a small
Town Black Box theater for Devs (I’m not a dev. But more than willing to give devs a space to showcase their work/ideas/. It has a stage, lights and sound - seats up to 80-90 if needed)
then a few
Doors down to our pizzeria: Five Star Pizza, for a bit for pizza, Cheesecake, pop; then next door to the American Legion for drinks.
Hit us up if you’d like to make something happen.
I’ll be at Nashville Bitcoin next month.

Not artsy really either. But tonight I walked through an art exhibit called “Out of Lockstep”.

At porcfest in New Hampshire.
The Free State Project has been a great success.
Basically they have tried to induce like minded freedom advocates to move here and try to heavily influence their legislature, among other things.
You see many libertarian minded republicans running for and winning office here.
If I were younger this place would greatly entice me to move here. Bonus: it’s a beautiful state.

Being a father has been the greatest joy I’ve ever had in life.
I just took my 31 y.o. Son to the Detroit airport today. He and his GF went back to Austin and I flew to Boston, to drive up here to porcfest, in New Hampshire.
For me, it never gets easier saying goodbye to him. I wish he lived a lot closer to his mother and I.
It’s really quite sad, each and every time we part for me (and I’m not very soft person at all - but this gets me every time)
But my18 years with him, was the highlife of my life. Hands down.
I have an older step daughter with his mother as well.
We should have had more children (or adopted). Biggest regret of my life. Bar none.
He and his GF don’t seem too interested in having children (I think there is quite a bit of Nihilism in the 30ish y.o. Crowd - and I kind of don’t blame them after what they’ve been through with these last 4 yrs of Bullshit)
BUT - I tell him, if u don’t want to have children - go save one…
or even more, by adopting.
He says - he needs to get his own life together first.
I disagree.
They both make good money, and just made the intelligent move to leave California for Texas and save a boat load of money per annum. I say - u r never ready. Never really.
When he was 3 days old - I was driving to a town 90 mins away to build a pizzeria. I already had a couple, but now I had 4 mouths to feed. And I was scared shitless…
But I had so wanted a child.
Best thing that ever happened to me. Best thing ever.
I hope you make the choice to have it save a child or 3.
It’s the most fulfilling, happiest, saddest, best, warmest, hardest thing you may ever do. And all the pain - and there will probably be some pain - is all worth it.
I wish you well.

That 2 people had sex and I was the result is just nothing I ever took pride in. It’s kind of like being 7’ tall, young, healthy and being able to slam a basketball. That’s just winning the genetic lottery.
[ I’m 5’5”, so perhaps I’m just jealous :) ]
I have no idea of the genetic makeup of my heritage other than we look white and the last name is Thornton; so I assume we came from the UK - though I really don’t care.
I’m also the oldest of 5. The middle sibling was adopted from S. Korea. For most of my life she has been my favorite and I’ve always considered her just as much of a “real” sibling as my Caucasian biological siblings.
I just kind of hate the division and the tribal aspect of a lot of this.

2024-06-04 05:04:58

I heard a guy give a speech the other day. Now this guy was a Slave mask adherent, hid away forever, agreed with the tyranny. He Actually had the guts to tell me, in an extremely heated argument:
“This Governor saved you!”
I can’t help it he was scared out of his wits by the fear mongers. I can’t help that he chose a life of servitude and compliance. I can’t help it if he followed the tyrannical orders his masters.
In fact I kinda feel sorry for him.
I fell sorry for his weakness. But that’s on him.
In the recent speech he stressed - yes stressed - that:
Face to face meetings in your life are important.
Wow….
I’m guessing he has no idea the irony of those words. None whatsoever….

I was on the fence about homeschooling our son 25 years ago. But a public school teacher friend of mine - (his wife homeschooled their 3 children) helped me make the leap. The final push was that my father-in-law was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he and my son were very close. So I figured we needed to spend all the time we could with him.
One need only look at the stats - you would be hard pressed to do worse the government school. Especially early on. If you look at it that way - you have nothing to lose.
After 2 years (and I regret this) we put him in “regular” school. But - I still took him out at least 30 days a year up until about 8th grade (then sports and friends made him fairly busy)
I would say well more than 70% can educate thier own children. And maybe it’s even 85%? 95?
Early on It really only takes the 3 R’s, sprinkled in with whatever else you want: some history, some art, physical activities, field trips, maybe just driving around talking.
We basically did whatever from 9 or 9:30 until noon, then maybe 3 times a week we had lunch with my father-in-law.
The things our son learned from my father-in-law can not be measured.
Just talking day after day to a then 65 y.o. Man and listening to the wisdom he has gleaned over a lifetime is a gift he never would have gotten had he been in a government school everyday.
And remember - you never get time
Back.
If you have Love, commitment, a little energy, you can educate your child. Just jump in. I wish you well.

I Listened to your podcast today about the convention. (Very good by the way)
And then I looked into Chase Oliver a bit. Holy crap….
As a life long (60 y.o.) quite libertarian guy, Wthell???
I saw his GD mask crap and that was enough for me.
During the tyranny (I just can’t call it a lockdown - that sounds to flimsy to me. I call it what is was: Tyranny)
I was completely, utterly embarrassed by my so-called “fredom” loving Republican friends that did absolutely fuck nothing to fight back. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
But then I had the “pleasure” to watch many libertarians bend over as well. What the an absolutely fuck??
These last 4 years have been an absolute shit show. The most disgusting/anti-freedom era of my life. And the Libertarians put that guy up?
And the other guy - can’t wait to eat an edible ? At that time? Seriously? Christ, I hope that’s not true…

People can say what they want about Trump. I’m still astounded that when he brought North and South Korea together to the table that wasn’t lauded as an incredible accomplishment. A brutal authoritarian regime with nuclear bombs, enslaving its 23-26 million person population, threatening the world with annihilation - and crickets…
I’d rather have a Rand Paul or a Thomas Massie, but I’ll take 2 less wars and a stricter border than what we have now.

I’m 60. Most of my friends have done fairly well in life. Most think my bitcoin journey is precarious at best, insane at worst. I just keep sprinkling the talk here and there. And I truly think a few have bitcoin and just won’t admit it to me. :)
I think the best angle for many people in the first world is the Alex Gladstein path. They may not yet see the need for them to invest in BTC because fiat has treated them fairly well - but Most of my friends - mostly republicans - do truly care about the less fortunate. And one story - say the story of Bangladesh basically pushed into debt slavery by the IMF, or I share with them how Gridless is bring power generation to areas in Africa (amazing!!)
that have never been electrified and they at least take a pause.
Look - I’m not techie - but I’ve read and studied BTC for years - and my head is still swimming down all these rabbit holes. My friends are not going to take the time to study. Nor are they going to engage more than a tiny bit in deep conversations about The Fed, 6102, 1971, etc.
They need snapshots, memes, heartfelt stories.
So all of you - please keep up the good work. I can’t tell you how thankful I am
For all you have done to try to push freedom forward. When u get overwhelmed - take a break. Rejuvenate. But then get back at it. We need you. You are truly making a huge difference. Again, I thank you.

Been a crazy 4 years here in the US. I’ve several “friends” that I will never speak to again after how they acted during the tyranny. Thankful many of them stood strong.

I don’t know how u guys did that man. It was a bitch here in rural Michigan. Which is why I was in Indiana 2-3 times a week for some freedom. And drove (because I would not wear their fucking slave mask on a plane) 5X’s to Florida during the tyranny (lockdown is such a shitty soft word) for some freedom. But what I saw happen in Canada, NZ, and Australia - was terrible. Sorry man. I’m embarrassed that many of my well-healed friends did exactly zero to fight back. I wish you well.

Happy Mother’s Day. 5-12-2024
Our mom died 3 years ago.
She suffered from breast cancer about 5-6 years ago. After Chemo, radiation, surgery, she beat it.
Then about 4 1/2 years ago she contracted brain cancer.
She went through more treatments for another year and finally decided to try brain surgery.
She never recovered from surgery and spent the last 30 days of her life, after the surgery, lying in her Sparrow Hospital bed in Lansing, MI.
I’m the oldest of 5. Sparrow would “allow” only 2 family members in.
I not going to lie - I was not very close with my mom.
My other siblings and family members had good and maybe even one or two of them great relationships with her.
(This is not to discount other people that loved her and helped her immensely)
So we collectively thought our 2 sisters should see her the most.
It was hard on them. Before (BC) the bullshit - families could and would often - gather in hospital waiting rooms. Spend 10, 20, 30 minutes, etc., with a dying loved one and kind of take turns. Sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks.
This made it easier on each family member and probably easier on the patient as well.
How my sisters spent all day, every day with her is a testament to their love for her. They were troopers.
The hospital did “allow” us to switch a couple people once in a great while.
I was allowed to see her 3 times for that entire month. Three times.
One night right after the surgery and they thought she might pass that night - I drove to the hospital.
I’m not sure what would have happened had I not been allowed in.
Then I think I was able to switch with a family member - I can’t remember if I just lied and said I was one of my brothers or not??
Anyway I was able to visit her a second time.
And in my brain there was a third time, but I honestly can’t remember.
All I would do is drive to Sparrow everyday - usually park on the roof, and wait for whatever sibling might come out or significant other might drive up.
Just to get the latest info and try to be there for them, and for myself.
And then head home hours later.
Again, I was not close, but she was still my mother.
And then approximately 30 days later - she had just had enough and she elected to come home and die.
She was supposed to come home the next morning.
When we arrived at Sparrow, we were told she had been moved to a covid unit….
After breast cancer, brain cancer, brain surgery, a month trying to recover from brain surgery - someone threw her in a covid unit.
I thought my brother was going to kill someone. My sister, an RN, was infuriated and somehow we got ahold of a person and tried to remedy the situation. The hospital delayed my mother from getting home by many hours.
Why? Incompetence? Stupidity? Maybe covid bonus money….??
Not sure - but their “misdiagnosis” cost her and us, several of the last few precious hours of her life with her family….
She finally arrived, and would pass the next morning.
Those that know me, know I basically have 2 emotions.
Happy - and then pissed off.
Basically I vacillate between those two all day, every day.
Not ever really too much sadness.
So please don’t think this is expressed solely out of sadness or reverence to my mother.
While I am thinking of my Mother today - I’m more thinking of those that did nothing to stop the bullshit. Those that went along with all this tyrannical nightmare. Those that merely put your head in the sand, ridiculed those of us that questioned “the science”, that yearned for freedom, that believe in the 1st Amendment.
Yes. I’m thinking of you - and -
Well - You can Fuck Off - especially today.
As angry as I am - I truly hope you never have to warehouse your mom or dad, or anyone you care for, as they are dying - alone - in a sterile, austere, bleak hospital room. Basically a lonely, pathetic prison cell as they waste away….
And if it ever is allowed/attempted to happen again - I hope you find some balls and stand up and fight for a change. We could have used you.
Now - go see your mother.

Hi Mark. I can’t argue too much with you on this. But maybe not funding more and more wars??
I have issues with republicans, but I can tell you, during the last 4 years of this bullshit, I drove 5X’s to Florida - from Michigan - (because I would not wear the slave mask to fly) for some freedom. And have since bought a house down there. Florida - under a Republican Governor was (albeit not as good as Kristi Noem in S. Dakota) much, much freer than what we had here in Michigan with the tyrant Whitmer.
Holy shit. It was insane…..
I’d much rather have a Rand Paul or Thomas Massie, but I’ll take a Trump any day over the left. And maybe - just maybe - if we can get to a bitcoin standard - it will matter less and less whom is elected to high office. I wish you well.

Whoa! I just saw this. Nice! Gracias.
So far I have zapped a few people. It’s kinda fun actually. And I zapped a music guy quite a bit - 60 bucks - because I had met him at Bitblockboom, and told him he really needs to meet up with an artist that goes by Five Times August, who has been relentless on the pansies that did zero to fight the BS of the last 4 years. I’m hoping zapping really catches on.
