Idk, I’ve always seen it as a brothers-in-arms kind of thing. We suffer and we win together, but don’t need to be best friends. Real ones that leave aren’t forgotten. My team is going through some redundancies rn, but truthfully, the ones that will be cut haven’t really shown their face on the battlefield for years. It’s not that deep.

I like this new era of Bitcoin. Less hypey, all shitcoins dead already. Talking heads shouting about how mediocre the gains against dollar will be from here out. Yet the coin just existing, at 90k. Freedom money for anyone to adopt, now 99% less retarded

Bitcoin is going way higher (Fed balance sheet).

Over the next decade, wars will be fought, maps redrawn, governments will default and their currencies hyperinflate or dissapear, while people lose their jobs due to being automated away. I don’t think we will see ww1/ww2 scale conflict, but more of the sort of things we’ve already been experiencing for years. More Ukraine, Trump, Putin, Venezuela, Iran, drones, covid, psyops, internet outages, rebellions and men in green uniforms. But for most of us, thankfully not outright war or collapse. How to survive? Stay nimble and fast on your feet, be able to move around. Be fit. Find income streams not linked to your location, save in bitcoin. And tune. tf. out. from the noise, focus on yourself and family and your inner worlds, don’t voluntarily plug in to mass propaganda venues like X. It’ll actually all be fine.

The world is only getting more adversarial from here on. Imagine not keeping most of your savings in Bitcoin

Movies like Train Dreams that are shot in 4:3 make me irrationally angry. Let me make full use of my screens and 2020s technology that I paid good money for, don’t bother me with your fancy artsy bullshit.

Once you decentralise at least aspects of your life (even if it’s only, say, money and social media), it becomes easier to deal with the clown world. Imo, all our ancestors had to deal with clown worlds of sorts, but were to an extent opted out by default. Their lives were informal, local, and unrecorded. Technology has opted us in to clown world by default, but decentralisation is the exit. Simple.

Big resolutions for the new year include leaving X behind completely, and moving more of my spending onto a Bitcoin standard. For the latter, I’m probably weird like that but a problem for me has always been that most of my Bitcoin stash is cold storage and I see it as long term family savings. So going into 2026 I will more regularly convert part of my salary into Bitcoin each month, move it to a hot wallet / Lightning and spend it. Because fuck fiat.
