lol and by battling, you mean dunking on… You run into a middle-aged dude on a plane or a random neighbor or friend of a friend who tells you they are heavy in XRP - you ask a polite handful of basic questions that they can’t answer - you then inform them they’re investing in a scam and a detailed explanation of why - you watch their face and energy bottom out under calm facts then tell them to sell that horseshit for no-KYC bitcoin in self custody - you’re doing the Lord’s work, but you know that 95% of them are too stupid to win the internal battle against the marketing propaganda they blindly swallowed 😆

A message to every single bitcoiner on Nostr who has survived at least 1 full cycle before this epoch 🫡 Please remember to reach out to those you have orange-pilled from your personal life who are family or a real friend
Make sure you connect with them, shoot the shit, and catch up if you haven’t in a while… then eventually ask them how they are handling this cycle low point….
Ask them if they are stacking this dip & encourage them to seize the opportunity given to them… it can be lonely and scary being a newb bitcoiner during your first cycle low… some will be too afraid to stack at these times on their own and just need a friend to help them overcome their fear
Remember that we AGMI but we have to stick together and support each other 🙏🏼✊🏼 Reach out and provide that seasoned bitcoiner perspective that can only be gained from experience and help them increase their stack size when everyone else is panicking

Used to stay up all night… pizza / beers / a great SciFi book to binge and just taking sell offers and putting in buy orders and fist-pumping when they would get filled 🤣 ✊🏼🥳 I hope some of you new bitcoiners out there are doing the same 🍻 🍕 🙏🏼

Yep that’s always the big issue… but the only thing you can do is find your tribe and build with them…
Usually that means finding a new tribe, since you have a completely different vision and understanding of the world. It’s a harsh, but common, reality when you change your world view and understanding so completely.
I don’t try to convince my family and friends anymore. I welcome the ones who ask questions during the cycle highs and educate those who want to learn… but I am busy building relationships with people who see the world as I do and want to build a resilient, regenerative, sovereign community… it won’t be easy, but I would rather fail trying than just continue to shout into the void trying to convince normies to listen

We used to have the theory, but lacked the tools… think austrian economics & libertarian political movement - great theory that never got us anywhere… but thanks to cypherpunks, we now have both the theory and the tools to build a new society - we can now design zero-trust decentralized systems into our communities all over the world
Books to start with:
- A Lodging of Wayfaring Men
- Second Realm - Book On Strategy
- Praxology of Privacy
We will either build new communities and thrive (look at the Amish living basically unaffected by events like COVID) all around the world until it becomes the norm, or we will continue to suffer… I will choose to build ✊🏼🙏🏼

lol nah, it’s really not…
- How long does the average investor keep a house?
- How about a blue chip stock in a 401K portfolio?
- How long do most gold & silver bugs keep their average coin or bar?
The answer to every one of those questions is longer than 5 years… again, zoom out
It’s cycle lows where stacks are built
It’s all about higher lows, NOT higher highs
You still have a chance to stack under $100K & that is a window that will be closed and gone forever soon
My 2 sats - educate yourself about bitcoin more… dig into the details, read more books, listen to more podcasts
Education is the only thing that will grant you the conviction to ignore short term price action and trade away your stack or be too afraid to stack cycle lows when you have your biggest opportunity to grow it

If you truly want freedom, then GET IN THE FIGHT
Support those who are building open source tools to defend our freedom and the bitcoin communities who are educating the public… If you are on Nostr, you’ve already taken the first step, which is to choose a different path…
Now it’s time to move the needle in your own small way... following @nprofile…j5yk @nprofile…q7g9 @nprofile…fac7 on Nostr inspired me a couple years ago to do more… You could teach someone about Nostr or bitcoin… attend a Bitcoin meetup and volunteer, or make your own small project to contribute to adoption… write an article, offer a free workshop, sell something for sats… anything that you want! Or you can simply take the price of a coffee and make a small donation to @nprofile…vldh

I lived out of a rooftop tent for over 2 years and got tired of it… there are some really nice ones out there these days, but I prefer to keep all weight low and not top-load to preserve offroad performance and reduce wear & tear…
I can sleep 5 comfortably with the gear I have inside:
- 2 people on a Exped combo air/foam mattress inside a spacious hub tent by Overlandish
- 2 smaller people inside on the flat top that extends from the rear glass to the front seats
- 1 person (or 2 kids) in the Haven + Adventure Hammock Co system that mounts to the front bumper
I sleep way better than in the rooftop tent, and we can use the hub tent in many more ways (shade at the beach / place to play cards or hang out with friends that is protected from the mosquitos / etc)
Thanks for the interest 🙏🏼

It’s not easy for some people to accept change, even when it takes less than a minute of effort… and it can be uncomfortable to tell people you no longer use WhatsApp or whatever spyware everyone is accustomed to using and has used to communicate with you in the past…
Luckily, it seems that if you, your opinions, or your services are actually a priority, or valued, they’ll give it a try. And if not, then they’ll make the effort when they finally want to talk to you badly enough.
I recently started the process of switching all my family, personal and professional communication over to White Noise… person by person, chat by chat… Signal is great, but centralized… White Noise is the new gold standard for private communication.
If those of us that are aware of the problem sit back and just go with the flow and do not use and actively spread the use of freedom tech, then I don’t see the needle moving much… but imagine if every person on Nostr switched over and then pushed all their contacts to use White Noise in order to reach them… how big that ripple could be… the impact it could have on personal privacy… seems worth the effort to find out
Let’s push forward 💪🏼✊🏼

Manual 60 or 80 series Land Cruiser is your go-to then… no diesels in USA that haven’t been imported, but there are a couple out there… you can always engine swap later if you find a 1HDT FTE for sale.

My 2 sats.. Not a single one… too many electronic systems integrated and they are all designed to “protect the occupant” instead of be robust
Better to invest into a late 90s classic that has been lovingly cared for by a single or second owner… knowing you’ll have to invest time and energy to maintain and replace aging parts instead of eating high depreciation cost on the vehicle… or, if you have the coin, grab something that has been restored by someone obsessed with doing things the correct way and is moving to the next project and offering a fair price

Wiring up the 12V distribution box for the rig…
2 x 65W QC4.0 USB-C plugs (to recharge laptops)
1 x double USB
2 x 12V marine style for the fridge and water pump
plus 3 x dedicated 50Amp outputs / 2 being used for the double ARB compressor with 1 spare…
Nice little 12V system with battery monitor from National Luna that is wired to the 2 x 95amp batteries in the engine bay (both with quick cutoff switches) and those will be recharged by a foldable130w panel… simple, easy, and doesn’t take up a lot of space.
Instead of expensive and heavy batteries + inverter we are going to with a bare bones system to save space and weight.
