You have to out-earn what you see around you. Rent/housing, groceries, healthcare, etc. If you're just getting started...stop complaining that things are hard, and start finding paths forward. Yes they are hard, and they will always be hard. What are you going to do...give up? You do not yet know, how hard poverty will be...and that it will touch everything in your life & your family's life. Be bitter if you want, that's fine. Carry anger and direct that energy to finding a way forward and being resolute about it. Never give up. Keep pushing. Life is not easy for many people, and coming from 0 is hard stuff. But if you need a wake up call, let this be yours... Start today, and do *something* Do not give in, and do not give up. Not everyone needs a Ferrari, but you should have security and no one will give that to you, but you. You may have health issues, a terrible job, barely making ends meet, or waiting for luck...but there is rarely luck you do not create. You are on your own. Time to make a strategy, and act now.

Rumour: Independence Day Pardons. @EagleEdMartin @DAGToddBlanche please submit Keonne & Bill (Samourai case).🙏 Supporters/legal advocates argue: devs created neutral, open-source software…& punishing devs for end-users’ acts sets dangerous precedent for coding & fin. privacy.

Unfortunately @Keonne has been moved to the Oklahoma federal transfer center, and we have no idea how long he’ll be held in limbo there. He is without a mattress, forced to endure lights on 24/7, and housed alongside mixed security levels with no proper separation. The Bureau of Prisons is supposed to uphold humane treatment standards for all inmates, even those just passing through. Basic dignity like a bed, restful darkness, and safe classification shouldn’t be optional. Why are these minimum conditions being disregarded? @BOPDirector @OfficialFBOP @BOPDepDirector @AlephInstitute @PrisonPolicy @MichaelGSantos

Great day to re-read Everyone's a Scammer by Michael Goldstein. Figure out which kind you are! nakamotoinstitute.org/mempoo…

When they sing the glorious words of the National Anthem of the United States, I cannot hear a single note or word. It's completely silent for me. Yet I stand. I place my hand over my heart. And I think of the song in my language- American Sign Language. I am proud to be an American.

gm Many have already shared this wonderful rendition of our 🇺🇸National Anthem, sung with pure class & at a pace & in a key that all patriots can sing along. But it’s a great way to start your weekend, so listen again!

Your competition isn't the firm down the road anymore. It's PE-backed agentic AI that runs a case end to end. Here's what it can't do: practice law. It's never lived the messy human middle. You have. That's your moat.

An ad in the church bulletin beats a dollar handed to Google. The money gets used. And it gets seen by people who can actually hire you. Show up where your community already is.

Better days ahead for Bill & Keonne

I was honored to speak at the Enemies of the State event last night. Keonne and Bill have now joined a rapidly growing list of men who have been subjected to lawfare. The weaponization of the legal system against each of these individuals should force every American to ask a simple question: Is this what our justice system is supposed to stand for? #freeSamourai

I always think of this quote on memorial weekend.

Our 767 cargo plane is on the way to the Democratic Republic of the Congo! Please pray for a safe flight, an end to this deadly outbreak, and for our disaster response teams as they prepare to care for those suffering.

This Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifice of the men and women who served our country — and we recommit ourselves to serving those who came home carrying visible and invisible wounds. At NCHV, veterans are rebuilding more than homes. They are rebuilding purpose, dignity, and community. Through farming, ranching, welding, carpentry, and the Healthy Veterans Market, veterans gain practical skills while helping sustain the mission that serves them and others. But more veterans still need our help. This Memorial Day weekend, our goal is to raise $15,000 for Mercury One’s Veterans Fund so we can build more homes, restore more lives, and honor the sacrifice that made our freedom possible. Will you prayerfully consider making a special Memorial Day gift? Together, we can stand with those who once stood for us. Give now at mercuryone.org

There is not a single poet in the English language—not Blake, not Milton, no, not Shakespeare—who ever wrote words more beautiful than these: Through the tender compassion of our God The dawn from on high shall break upon us To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death And to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Ten years before Satoshi published the Bitcoin whitepaper, a Chinese-American cryptographer wrote a short essay describing an anonymous, distributed electronic cash system. His name is Wei Dai. The system is called b-money. The year was 1998. b-money never shipped. The protocol was theoretical. The system needed a way to enforce its own rules without a trusted referee, and Wei Dai didn't have a solution to the double-spend problem. Satoshi did. Months before the whitepaper went out, Satoshi emailed Wei Dai directly. The note included a line Bitcoiners now know by heart: "I'm getting ready to release a paper that expands on your ideas into a complete working system." Wei Dai responded. The whitepaper cited him as reference one. Sovereignty is a stack and Bitcoin is the money layer. b-money was the draft. The Satoshi didn't write Bitcoin in a vacuum. He wrote it in a conversation that started a decade earlier and never stopped. Every line of code that lets you hold your own keys today was preceded by ten years of people trying to solve a problem the state preferred you not solve. Reference one in the whitepaper is still reference one in the protocol.
