Very sad, for everyone. I remember a local story of parents whose son was killed in a high school shooting years ago. Small town. In the wake of the shooting, the parents of the victim had the strength and love to reach out to the parents of the shooter and invited them into their home. They forgave. The love healed the community and made it stronger. Hugely inspirational for me. There is strength in our Nostr community. There is strength in us Freaks. We help each other. I think it is why we all spend time here. We are family. There is love and forgiveness. For everyone. People need time, and that is okay. But, for one, I hope @ODELL finds peace, and comes back soon. 🙏

The failure of academia over the last 50 years is tragic and angering (as I think of the massive misallocation of resource which the cost of education represents). This failure has helped the decline of the middle class and hurt many generations of hard working poor people -- while benefitting the ruling class. Ironically, this is exactly the situation which Karl Marx fought against over 180 years ago. The Austrians still have an extremely important role to play.

I know these are tough times for many. I know emotions can run high. Everyone will grieve and come to grips with their decisions -- but, it is important to remember, we all make our own decisions. We all extend trust, and make choices as to where we trust and to what extent. I also think it is important to remember that no one intentionally or purposefully made mistakes. So, at the end of the day, if there is exposure to Coldcard, forgive if you can -- both yourself and others. Forgiveness, and the live underlying it, make us stronger.

Oh, no! Sorry if this is more than just sharing a song you like. Take care.

If you read Barron's today, you will learn that Warsh is going to shrink the Fed balance sheet, drive up interests rates, and force politicians to stop spending. (Yeah, right! 🤣)

Thank you. Self custody, like freedom itself, is hard! Compounding the fear and emotion, it used to be that single sig was sufficient. Interesting how perceptions change.

What a fucking bozo. All-In podcast is unwatchable.

This guy is all ego, all the time -- while also being seldom right, but never in doubt. Onward.

Treasury companies are effectively closed end mutual funds. Most closed end mutual funds trade at a discount. So, agree, there needs to be more value than simply holding bitcoin -- if equity providers do not want to simply burn capital.

FFS. And this is supposed to make someone want to do business with OKX?

You dont need to be a hippie to feel the power of life pulsing through this story. It is for anyone who wants freedom. Galt's Gulch. Amazing. We'll done.
