youre not wrong. makes me want to just buy some land, a mobile home, and live the rest of my days away from the rest of society.

but maaan, the city has some of the best food, and i do love a great bar and grill. so idk.

I am stealing "cuck bucks"

exactly that. the way i see it is we are just gonna print money til the end of time, and this is sort of a hedge against that.

and in the event of a bank failure and/or something ever happens to me, I want them to be able to have access to funds if they need them.

thanks man. im getting closer to 1M sats everyday. loving this dip buying what i can.

my most recent goal is for my wife and kids to each have .28 BTC at a minimum.

I looked back recently and almost pooped myself when I saw I was getting like 240k sats for like $10 at one point in CB.

Boy did I take it for granted. Is what it is. Rebuild everyday.

New perspective for sure. I really dont know how to explain it other than losing it all for some reason feels like a second chance

It was definitely in the vein. I forget the actual doc I'm thinking of, but there were so many in the early 2000's that I can't even recall half of them.

But yes, Ron Paul was a savior, the government was the devil, the police state was hated, but still support the police, and by God everything had to be by the book of the Constitution.

I think that part of the party is dead now. It just doesn't exist. The new right doesn't seem to care about the Constitution at all, and would be happy to change it to fit the needs of the day - and it really does depend on what day it is.

are you inviting me for ice cream? do they accept BTC?

Damn. I expected more.

It was a good zing, but like...idk - youre smarter than that, and capable of more.

You should of hit deeper.

Here's one - I recently lost everything (even my shitcoins)

There's gotta be a nice jab you can throw in there, idk something about being dumb, and poor, but like punchier

shitcoiner is so...low hanging fruit. It doesn't hurt as much.

Go harder. deeper. i barely feel anything. are you even in yet?

Yes, I am super familiar with everything you mentioned. But a lot of the folks I spoke to were against Patriot Act, the extra measures at airports, etc. They have always supported the blue, which always seemed contradictory to me.

Back in the day, I remember seeing documentaries about how we were all going to be injected w microchips, and the NWO was taking over and we were going to be one with Mexico and Canada. And now, we have cellphones that track us all the time.

And although I agree the war machine has always been present and involved in politics, it is interesting to see how it has super evolved into what we see now with facial recognition - and I'm like: I thought we hated this?

thanks for the tip.

like i said. im new.

i have yet to memorize every single forum and their associated cost to post.

but lucky for me, I have you as my brilliant guide.

Your like an asshole guardian angel that noone asked for but is always here.

Giving guidance and loudly judging mistakes.

i think i love you. im actually gonna pray for you today:

Dear Lord, please bless My Dear Bitcoin Guardian Angel Darth Coin, make him meaner in spirit and stronger in wisdom so that hey may point out flaws and give great advice that when received, feels like a hot knife in the ribs. we will all be better for it.

He mustve read the white paper i printed out and left on his desk.

I love this for you, but also hope you stub your toe.

1.) I'm fairly new here. 2.) Not really lazy. Efficient. I already completed my tasks. 3.) YOU appear to have even more free time than I do. You not only read my test post, but made sure to find out who zapped me. That's crazy work.

idk who siggy is. idk why either. it is in fact a meaningless post. it was more of a test than anything else.

BUT - I am glad to see I can post, comment, and do whatever I want from my office. It has sucked tremendously.

What is cool is that I look super super busy at my desk, but I'm totally not.

I look super concerned as I'm reading the forum. It's mostly me trying to decipher what is actually being said by some of these more than average minds.

But to my coworkers, it appears as though I am trying to resolve some complex problem. Truth is, I've been done with my work for a while now.

I'm just catching up on everything I missed here. NGL - this really rules.

this is very Ron Swanson coded.

i gotta find new ways to earn and spend sats. I feel like this is one of the areas I am lacking, specifically on where and how to spend them without converting to fiat

Is it possible to contribute something to this? Articles, short stories, or artwork? If so, how would one do that?

I'm not a fan. I grew up with old school conservatives and they always warned me about the surveillance and police state. So it really stuck with me. Like absolutely under no circumstance would they advocate for that.

So, it's crazy to see the tide turn, and all of my former mentors in that area are all championing companies like Palantir, mainly for profits, but like....

Isn't this the very thing you warned me about in my youth?

I have gone another route. I am now printing out the White Paper and inserting it in mailboxes around my neighborhood.

I will often knock on the door (those without no solicitation signs of course) and ask if they have a moment to discuss our currencies savior, Bitcoin.

It's been met with mixed reviews. I am noticing a lot more no trespassing signs after doing this.

I am positive it's meant to deter thieves from their newly formed BTC wallets.

what r u? a freakin wizard. u fixed it!

i still maintain that this is the ONLY device i have ever used for SN.

but at this point, i dont care. its fixed. thank you sweet baby satoshi.

when i go to wallets, the only thing on the page is an orange button that says "unlock wallets" and says my passphrase is required.

I used cashapp, so Im pretty sure the passphrase is moot.

I don't have an option to add additional wallets anywhere on the page.
