@trouble_man90 Like every tweet is vaguely gesturing at how its all over and we're all so gucked and need to start hoarding seeds and medicine but no one is clearly stating whats making them feel that way beyond vague noises in the direction of oil prices Its all very bizarre

Incredible vibe shift over the past 16 or so hours. Is it just a collective twitter hive doom or what?

@StevieGeebanga When I understood money as debt, wtf happened in 1971, and (perhaps hilariously) my 15 year old son patiently explaining proof of work/fixed supply/hard asset nature of bitcoin.

What was the moment you finally understood Bitcoin?

@ChrisKindaReads The Gambler is one of the only Dostoevsky books I haven't read! I have that exact copy. I need to get to it.

The Stoic Cult

@dailystoic Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations was not for the masses but a rigorous self-examination to fortify his inner citadel. Stoicism demands we do the same—cultivate virtue through silent action, indifferent to external validation.

Remember, Marcus Aurelius wasn't writing his meditations for other people. He was actively meditating for himself.

I grew a Latin account—of all things—to hundreds of thousands of followers. Here’s the key: When you know something, you can either show it off or share it. They’re not the same thing. Sharing requires humility. Growth isn’t about numbers. It’s about growing together.

Today I'm writing the foreword to a new, beautifully illustrated edition of George MacDonald's At the Back of the North Wind. This is an incredible project that I am eager to see in print!

I left the book I was looking forward to reading on my commute at home and now I am grumpy.

@ZubyMusic Precipitous drop in reach and engagement. AI slop, cringy influencers, rage bait, and engagement farming. I honestly don't know if we'll ever recapture the magic of early internet and social.

It feels like the overall experience of social media has dropped significantly in the last few months. It's not unique to this platform, but all of the ones I use. Am I alone in this sentiment?

People exhausted by digital derangement and AI slop will seek out in-person experiences again. Perfect time for a one-man stage play about Thomas Sowell, performed by a professional with elite training and 20 years of experience.

Bahahah my soul sister! I literally had one sip of beer last week and spontaneously got on a ferry and a flight to Bangkok for two nights just to spend an extra day with my sister before she flew to the US. Standby flying is my new jam. But omg the notes.. I’m a big Notion junkie so I have so. Many. Notes…. It’s hard in this space though, I have deep rooted imposter syndrome because the subject is so complex. But also, I keep remembering that every voice is necessary and who doesn’t want to be a freedom fighter?

Last week I had an amazing mentorship session with @natbrunell and I was reminded that consistency is key. I want to be in the Bitcoin space. I want women like me to get exposure. I want to reach an audience that isn't here on X yet. I want to provide guidance in whatever way I can. I want to write a book. I want to create Bitcoin content. I want to build community. I want to do it all — and I have a million ideas... But I also have a successful business I can't step away from. I already have amazing work/life balance. And I have a very real fear of showing up in a space populated by absolute geniuses. I've been frozen by the pros and cons and the sheer amount of work this will all take. But today I'm starting with one simple post. My first in nearly half a year. If you've ever felt this way — pulled toward something big but paralyzed by everything it would take — drop a 🧡 below. I'd love to know I'm not alone. Your encouragement to show up tomorrow would mean everything. One day at a time is all we have anyway. Let's see where this goes, shall we? 👀 #Bitcoin #BuildInPublic

I photographed some of my bookshelves recently. I am in the 3% that have over 1000 and yes, the more I have, the more disorganized it has gotten! I know where they all are though! I also got rid of so many classics after my degree thinking the library has them but now they don’t! @BookwormBean -moving discussion and deleting on the voting thread

I've engaged in a multi-year fantasy that spans 2am notes without my contacts in and ideas for cool PSA-stye provocative ad campaigns for bitcoin, to a full bitcoin creative studio with some of my very talented fellow ad agency refugees. It's been pretty pervasive. LOL. I am notoriously impulsive - like the time my husband and I decided (over one glass of wine!) to put all of our possessions in storage and move to Paris with our very young toddlers - so I am not sure what's holding me back.

Omg. Nice to meet YOU! What level of fantasy are you at? I’ve been fantasizing for at least a year… Have like whole business plans and content strategies designed. And then change my mind, change ideas, and just generally shit my pants like a scaredy cat. Had none of this when I was building my agency or course!

@SonnyBunch I love those pocket-friendly editions and the vintage covers were so cool. My favorites are the Signet Classics. Wish they would bring them back.
