Climb That Ladder

Please watch and share this video I made 15 years ago if you can. If you disagree, let’s talk about it. youtu.be/9hyz4Hnb64o?si…

@saylor @Strategy You’re definitely a story teller

Orange dots tell only part of the story.

@SCHDaccumulator Up and to the right 🫡

I have officially reached a $2,000 portfolio! 🥳 Asset breakdown: $SCHD: 77.3% $SMH: 9.6% $SGOV: 5.7% Other: 7.4%

$SCHD stock price growth since inception along with Dividend Growth (next 12 months vs first year). Both growing is what I want.

@SineadWatson91 @hollowearthterf Yes! And faces are identity.

@ActuallyClimber @hollowearthterf I think because bodies can change so much, especially if the unattractive aspect is weight, it's less important. If you aren't attracted to someone's facial features/structure now you probably never will be.

The discourse around this image is so stupid because both of these physiques have no issues attracting women, and in fact belong to the same person, a very happily married man. Also as a heterosexual woman, I am not attracted to static images of men’s torsos, I am not a faggot. The question is therefore stupid, women need so much more context than this. Is he handsome? Does he have hair? Are his eyes kind? What’s his smile like? Does his dick work? Is his voice sexy? How can you really know which one you’d prefer without this information.

@williamwallets8 “The ultimate case for bitcoin”? Dude, have you heard of stonks?

Since last November, I’ve sold three houses. My final rental property is on the market now, it’s been 12 days with minimal activity. It’s a great house in a solid neighborhood and is priced fairly. Even if I go under contract tomorrow, I’m looking at 30 days before I actually see that equity. This is the ultimate case for Bitcoin. The ability to exit a position in moments (zero desire to do so), with no headache, minimal fees, and absolute finality, makes it a vastly superior store of value compared to real estate. We are currently witnessing a shift where more people realize that liquidity is a feature of value. In 10–20 years, the friction of legacy assets will look like a relic of the past. Disclosure: I’m a mortgage broker but the math on liquidity doesn't lie. 💯

@SineadWatson91 @hollowearthterf I agree that faces matter more, which apparently puts me in the minority of men.

@hollowearthterf Face matters so much more than body. Like SO much more. That's why images like that raise my eyebrow rather than my arousal.

@Opioraryap @darwintojesus You’re an idiot

@ActuallyClimber @darwintojesus Faith is a certainty, retard. You have beliefs in all kinds of immaterial, invarient concepts and axioms. Holy dumb fuck...

Facts.

Funny, I’d say the exact opposite is true which is why there’s so many retail traders losing money on options or day trading or going for single stocks or “digital assets”.

@comic Burnings

What earnings?

@nithusezni @OrangePilled @ColeMacro @ZynxBTC @saylor @Strive Hadn’t considered that option. All this choosing sides makes me think of the scene in Hook where Rufio draws the line in the sand for those who don’t and do believe Peter Banning is Peter Pan.

@ActuallyClimber @OrangePilled @ColeMacro @ZynxBTC @saylor @Strive Probably ego whispered in my ear that I'd be able to have a positive influence. 🤷 "Vanity, definitely my favorite sin." The Devil

Saylor has spoken. Honestly I'm surprised he has come out and has explicitly chose a side in the BIP-110 debate. This is no doubt one of the most contentious posts he has ever made. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just grabbing the popcorn. It's going to get tasty.

@nithusezni @OrangePilled @ColeMacro @ZynxBTC @saylor @Strive Nithu, I don’t have a dog in the race, but I’m surprised, given your reasoning, that you exited MSTR and went to ASST. Did you expect Matt Cole or Jeff to go against Saylor? They kissed the ring long ago.

Great question, and no offense taken. If that was an attack then it was the politest one I've ever seen. In everything I believe I identify falsification criteria, that if satisfied, would require that I stop believing it. For example shitcoins generally have one or more of the following attributes: 1. Centralized 2. No fixed supply 3. No proof of work 4. premine If an altcoin has these properties then I know it's a scam, or at the very least inferior to bitcoin. And if bitcoin became more like any of these properties then it would become more shitcoin like. I have been developing a set of criteria for whether or not a bitcoin company is aligned with bitcoin or not. For a company to qualify as a potential for my portfolio it must be: 1. Bitcoin only 2. Not harmful to bitcoin Without going too deep into 5th generation warfare, it says that everyone is under attack 24/7. That includes bitcoin. How can bitcoin be harmed? It has several parts. 1. nodes 2. hodlers 3. miners 4. devs I consider myself a Jeff Booth disciple, and he likes to say that bitcoin wins if it stays decentralized and secure. I agree. So if there is a threat to decentralization to any of the above parts of bitcoin then it's an attack on bitcoin itself. The bitcoin I was sold said that everyone can and should stack as many sats as possible so #2 centralization was not a problem because Saylor doesn't control bitcoin with his soon to be 1 million btc. My node counts the same as his. I applaud his efficiency at stacking for himself and his shareholders. However, development has been centralized for too long. The legacy implementation, Core, has been transformed from a diverse, decentralized open source project to a DEI hire groupthink project. Mining has been centralized as a few mining pools control the vast majority of hash rate. Nodes have been centralized by running the Core protocol. Every element of bitcoin is being attacked by centralization. In a free market, monopolies cannot last because they are disrupted by competitors that provide better value. Nodes rejected the attack they perceived by code changes that enabled more spam. Spam is a consensus valid transaction, but that does not make it a just transaction. Bastiat called it legal plunder. When one is deprived of their property without consent and without compensation then they have been plundered. Spammers pay fees to miners. The node is deprived of otherwise available block space without compensation. Two parties transact, but a third party is saddle with the burden of storing the data forever. That is legal plunder. #bip110 is the reaction to centralized development and to node centralization that seeks to rollback the changes from Core v30 and to patch the inscriptions hack from taproot to restore as much node sovereignty as possible. If it's able to bring the large mining pools into alignment with node sovereignty then that is a win with regard to mining centralization, too. (There are other efforts in play to resolve this like DATUM and STRATUM, though I am not knowledgeable about them so shouldn't say too much). That was a lot, and I could have said all that with fewer words if I had only had more time.😜 Saylor had been sending some red flags with retweeting defi scam yield coins and revisionist history about whether or not he said he'd sell bitcoin or not, and then there was the ossification article on Monday with no mention of patching the issues in bitcoin first. Today's announcement was the mask off moment, and I had already sold on Monday anyway. Strive cosigning this decision means that when I rotated my MSTR stack to ASST and SATA that it accomplished nothing. So finally, if a company declares that spam is not a problem, and presumably isn't running bip110 or instructing their custodians to do so then they are harming bitcoin, and my falsification criteria has been met. It breaks my heart, but there's nothing left to do but execute bringing my portfolio into alignment with my values of bitcoin first. No amount of bitcoin adoption can make up for eroding bitcoin's use case as money and attacking nodes. In the spirit of optimal game theory, if companies reverse their decision or if bip110 successfully activates then no permanent harm was done, and I'll declare spam war amnesty, and consider reinvesting in those companies. Cooperation returns cooperation.

@GrantCardone We became more efficient. We now fill a larger % of the ocean with fewer people.

What happened to America?

@darwintojesus *Humorous 😂

@darwintojesus If facts were convincing enough, you wouldn’t need faith. I’m fine with people who believe, but to claim it’s because of evidence and not faith is numerous.

@jesusisnearer Thanks. I know a lot of people struggle with this sort of thing.

@ActuallyClimber Glory to God man. Keep us posted on your August update. 🙏

This morning I had 100% reduction in my premature heartbeats. Instead of taking 5 minutes (about 300 beats worth) I took over 1000 beats of data. Looking through the graphs I had 0 ectopic beats. Caffeine took 18 consecutive days to drop me from a 10% burden to basically 0. I’ve been stuck around 10% for over 100 days. A huge key to discovering this was something I’ve seen almost no one talk about, that devices which measure HRV especially while you sleep can be a fantastic proxy for frequency of extra beats. I then use a Kardia device to take 30 second EKGs and manually scroll through the graphs to count the premature beats. Keeping a food log has also been great. I found that when I ate simpler foods and fewer calories, my HRV and PAC burden would drop a little, but this had a limited effect. I joked with family over the past few months that when I’d mess up and have caffeine expecting my numbers to get worse, they showed a small improvement. I attributed this to noise, but it was every single time. So I tested it. Now waiting for my August echo to ensure everything is good to go. I wonder how many people mistake higher HRV for improved health when it can be a sign of the heart malfunctioning.

@TheBTCKnight Why the middle at $100k instead of around the current price?

Where do you think we are by year end for $BTC A) $60,000 B) $100,000 C) $126,000+ Be honest.

@DvdndDiplomats Around 95,000 shares but I was retired before switching to it and it’s my largest holding.

How many shares of $SCHD do you own? Anyone over 5,000?

@eddyluxe_ That’s great! I’d love to run and graph my progress. No crazy goals but getting down to a 6 minute mile would be nice.

@ActuallyClimber I used to have fast heartbeats randomly, but I've noticed a decrease in frequency after I started running more. Just finished a 5-mile run. 🏃‍♂️

@eddyluxe_ I’ve been bad about it and been holding off more with this going on. I got a treadmill and use it some but haven’t since starting the coffee trial. Can’t wait to start again.

@ActuallyClimber Do you exercise or work out every week?

My 6 month sleeping HRV.
