I have friends who were early Bitcoin investors. I met them in 2014 at various Bitcoin meetups. None of them have X accounts, and they often make fun of me for having one.
One of them owns a hotel in Greece, in Halkidiki. He’s living his best life, and from time to time we meet at his hotel.
Recently, he was joking with me about posting on X and trying to convince people that Bitcoin is the best asset of our lifetime. He said: “You can’t change people’s karma. Everyone creates their own aura. If someone lives in an aura of poverty, you can’t change that, even if you forcefully give them Bitcoin. A day later, Trump will tweet something negative, they’ll sell it, and then gamble the money on who will become President in 2028.”
I asked him, “What about those who have an energy of prosperity?”
He replied: “Those who have an energy of prosperity won’t pay much attention to Bitcoin’s short-term price action. We became this successful because when we discovered Bitcoin, the flow of information wasn’t this overwhelming. All we had was each other, and no one was constantly using psychological pressure to try to shake us out.”
I asked him to create an X account and help people who, like him, started from less than zero. (By the way, he didn’t start from zero - he started with debt inherited from his family line.)
I suggested that helping others break free from financial slavery could be a way of giving back to the world that had given him so much.
He refused, even though he has plenty of free time. He said that society often destroys the very people who contribute the most when doing so serves its own interests. As an example, he pointed to Saylor and the way the Bitcoin community treat him.
@Diet0Nutrition I found a great way to make smoothies healthy:
1. Get frozen fruit
2. Put the blender on the pulse option
3. Add a hint of almond milk
4. Throw it all in the trash and eat bacon and eggs instead 😀
I didn’t cut sugar because of “calories”. I cut it because I went carnivore.
I noticed how much so called healthy food is just sugar with fancy packaging.
The yogurts, the sauces, the snack bars, the drinks, all of it. Slap “high protein” or “low fat” on the front and people act like it belongs in a health shop instead of a bin.
People are still obsessing over calorie numbers while the food industry is busy making ultra processed rubbish look normal.
Carnivore was the real switch for me.
No bloating, with a flatter stomach. I am full for longer without hunger. I have more energy, and a clearer head.
So when people turn it into a calories argument, I already know we’re not talking about the same thing.
A lot of people are not eating because they’re hungry. They’re eating because food companies got better at marketing than people got at thinking.
Do you still think it’s about calories?
