Last Notes npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Bring back tar and feathering and public executions for treason. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick he's going to run with a self defense plea, claiming his right to bear arms. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Buffalo wings actually aren’t buffalo 🤯 npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Really beginning to hope that the Sovereign Individual phase of jurisdictions competing for capital allocators, innovators and productive labor, by offering property rights, low taxation, negligible surveillance and free markets begins to ramp quickly…..unfortunately, all I see is dystopian surveillance states gaining power and taxing their productive cattle to keep the system afloat. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Nicely done. Poor man’a brisket, my favorite cut for smoker npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick At a lacrosse game today. Miss anything pertinent? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick College lacrosse season is upon us. Tomorrow’s tailgate prep began at 4:30 this morning. Fastest game on two feet deserves #proofofwork food prep. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Question for your crew: npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Coretard vs Knotzi question: npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Fact. Doesnt mean that man has to be the boy’s father but positive, and sometimes hard-nosed mentorship, coaching and love from a father or father figure, creates strong men. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick You’re doing your best to gaslight here, particularly after I said I’m not signaling bip-110. You could easily look at the mempool screenshot and draw the conclusion that the taproot enabled workarounds that allowed inscriptions and dust utxo bloat is livable and that fees would drive them out with more L1 use, but also conclude that unilaterally blowing out op-return opens additional unwanted vectors that an 83 byte return didnt. 🤷♂️. Balance takes are lost here on both sides but again, you’ve concluded that those trying to learn, assess and decide are retarded if they dont agree with you. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick I’ve been called retarded quite a bit in the last 24 hours. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 👋. Perhaps you should have read the full text for context…but hey, I’m just a retard so what do I know? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick No, definitely not. I'm not signaling bip-110 and am still evaluating the technical arguments for both sides....but thanks for the broad assumptions and name calling...it definitely helps with open discourse. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick because one side doesn't think its money npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick So revert the witness discount AND capping op return seems like a reasonable compromise. Dust moves to op return…but doesnt allow large data sets embedded in op…its a limited capacity dumpster. I assume this would also require a soft-fork to undue parts of segwit. Complicated. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Fair technical concern around the bip-110 attempt to eliminate inscriptions and dust bloat. I’d appreciate a more nuanced debate around its merits and risks from folks who aren’t battling their own egos….”coretards vs knotzies” isn’t constructive for the node runners. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick And @nprofile…0fd0 zapping the reply….are you agreeing on the technical aspects of the argument or just signaling the shitting on luke and his approach? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Agree that upgrading a ssd and upgrading ram are both expensive propositions for some….and pruning, while less than ideal, is a solution for limited storage. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick I dont know luke or his motives. I’m just a dude who runs nodes, stacks sats and cares deeply about sound money for my kids and eventual grandkids. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Sure it is. If you’re opposed to V30, you’re running V29 or running Knots. If you’re opposed to inscriptions and non-monetary dust data on chain, you might signal 110. You do or not do, there is no try. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick https://blossom.primal.net/db6af444b4d4a3b320629076b9376f7c5a96eef6c8e1a5abef68557e147ccfa4.jpg npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick #BIP-110 as I see it. Which way Bitcoiners? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick https://blossom.primal.net/c0dfaddf25cedffea00a8bb9980c998029c7ae9f5bc40fc20064e77fbbfdfb75.jpg npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Change? My nodes were activated when op return was capped (and before taproot.). I’m just choosing to avoid controversial changes. Bitcoin went from 0-100k USD (implying users found the token increasingly valuable) before Core decided to unilaterally blow out op return, and block and mock dissenting views. I thought this was rules without rulers? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick This nicely sums up the growing support for knots and now bip-110. Core has made an aggressive move to increase the value of blockspace at the expense of native token ₿ which derives its value from being perfect money. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick I used to hodl solely because I hoped for a better tomorrow for myself, my family and humanity at large. While that’s still true, I now also hodl to silence all the snarky assed people in my life who have recently resurfaced to ask whether “I’m still invested in that bitcoin now that its down so much?” npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Posole Rojo ala gringo! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Wonder if that’s the same phone he picked up when a certain exchange had a “ddos attack”, their second outage this year. Uncle Howie can always inject a little liquidity to fix these pesky cyber attacks. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Paper Bitcoin gets held in check, when the majority of the Bitcoin in circulation is held in cold storage. Maybe instead of BTCC's, ETF's, etc, etc....we can just get back to the simple rules of financial sovereignty: npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Love this. Bitcoin solves the money problem but health, faith and fellowship are also bedrocks of good communities. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 69k ✅ - 420k here we come npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick From scarcity comes abundance. This is an axiom for life and unironically, for Bitcoin. This too will pass. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 69k ➡️ 420k….I dont make the rules here npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 100% allocated for years now…no going back. I’ve burnt the boats and am staying to fight as a multi node runner. The only clear way to attack a decentralized network is to attack it at its core. Its clear there has been a coordinated effort to dismantle ₿ at the protocol level. My nodes wont comply. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick So we back to 4 year cycle or nah? If so, that was one castrated bull. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Snu-fag-ufulus and big bird reunion in Davos npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Updated my 2 nodes this morning. Pleb slop, won’t stop! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 5 year HODL. Fucking exhausting. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Loved that grill. Recommend the aftermarket cast iron grates. Enjoy!! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Spent time in yosemite this past summer. The solo free climb of El Capitan is surreal. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Young sniper in training. #POW #LaxBros npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Love the Mhodlivation! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Gold bros getting chesty these days. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 50k or 500k this year my “base case” is the same. ₿itcoin is my unit of account. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Winter walk with my homie. Beauty everywhere, just have to work a little more to find it this time of year. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick “I think I’d eat a flip flop if it was covered in that chimichurri” npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Lol….see you soon. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Pubkey DC….anyone been there yet? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Bastiat’s “The Law” nicely sums up the only ethical purpose for the law…or govt. Everything beyond that narrow scope is tyranny imposed upon the willing. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick The excellent replies here should offer some solace….you’re human, forgive yourself, onward. The act of self reflection and regret shows high emotional iq. The most important (and difficult) part is to learn how to change the cycle so when presented with the same scenario, you alter your course. I’m still working on that in my late 40’s with children older than yours. Progress is the milestone on the journey to perfection. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Following users matters on Nostr if you wish to see content. Reposting helps. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Patience is rewarded over time… I suspect this will be very bearish as macro events continue to unfold and currency devaluations accelerate around the globe. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick GM Nostr! A new week is upon us. Embrace the sunrise and the opportunity it holds within its light. #WAGMI npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick https://blossom.primal.net/a1ace326c496afea715acb05248c218282932755a5d504495f4f4128641dbbda.jpg npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Find a local farm. Buy a chest freezer. Buy a 1/4 or 1/2 cow. Tailor your cut sheet to how you cook/eat. Much more cost effective and you know where your beef came from. As an added bonus you can order some great cuts not found in your local market. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 2026: Less scrolling, more doing. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Ahhh boating. My back remembers the hours spent in the bilge, wiring & plumbing. Good work! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Chilling to think that phone and internet are cutoff in Iran to work to hide a massacre of unarmed citizens. Prayers for the freedom loving Persians who are bravely taking a stand against decades of tyranny. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Jesus, Family, Bitcoin. The older I get the more I realize that nothing is 100% reliable, but these three are real bedrock from which a foundation can be built. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Truth. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Bitcoin only exchanges. DCA on River, or Strike. Withdraw to cold storage when your balance gets to 1M sats or more. Rinse and repeat. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Financial independence isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying the free outdoors…they’re free npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick I’m beginning to think temperature is the next psyop. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick More of this. Last cycle, retail took ₿ to 69k. Stay humble, avoid leverage, stack sats, cold store, run a node, hash at home was the message. Still true today although the message has been muted as influencers join boards of treasury companies, custodians start offering loans and yield and retail becomes convinced wall street on-ramps are much easier than “impossibly difficult” self sovereignty. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick The thought of you writing your new take on fiscal dominance and the fed put while waiting on a country fried steak is, well…hilarious. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Doing nothing is the hardest part. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Oh and also, while an epic battle rages outside, inside the fortress it’s frequently boring as fuck. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick I absolutely love NOSTR. Developers, foodies, nature lovers, meme-lords, musicians, Bitcoiners and others checking in to remind one another it’s going to be OK. #WAGMI npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Man, you nailed your geo-political analysis in the recent pod with Danny.

It starts early when you rub elbows with those up north. First clue is Tim Horton’s coffee is absolute dog water….complete scam coffee. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick All of the recent news out of Minnesota reminds me why I started converting my savings to Bitcoin in 2021. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick “The world is NOT your oyster….the world IS an oyster” npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Took 2 of my kids to the most FIAT place on earth yesterday. My youngest’ lacrosse team has a two day tournament in area and we decided to join the team for a day in park. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Jesus, family, ₿itcoin and guns. I’ll take the silent, non-violent protest against tyranny first before resorting to the latter. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Quietly wondering if this is part of the “OG wallets selling” seen on-chain thru 2025. Taking profits at a round 100k number…yes, but I suspect the true OG - separate money from state - crew might be questioning Core’s direction as well as WallStreet’s recent embrace of ₿ npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Sound parenting! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick World: What are you doing? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 2025: a blip in time on the journey towards monetary freedom. The discussions about mnav, shareholder dilution, spam filters and developer influence, proof of reserves, Epstein and quantum will all be temporary diversions to Satoshi’s vision. He picked the destination and soundtrack…freedom money for humanity. So we all need to shut our cake holes and get back to basics: stack sats, cold store, run a node and hash at home. The road will be bumpy but #WAGMI npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick How we doing fam? npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick GM! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick This ☝️….much more of this. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Day was going pretty great until this. Never sleep on your opsec. Gone from the car for15 mins and someone smash and grabbed in a busy parking lot. Got wife’s cash and ran up $600 on credit cards in 10 mins. Pain in the ass, but our fault for not being vigilant. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Difference between functionality and spread on strike and river was eye opening.

Parents weekend at my son’s college. Egg fired up before dawn and is slowly infusing 30 lbs of pork shoulder with its pecan and hickory smoke show. Good bbq is a low time preference, proof of work game. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick I’ve come to realize that most young men look outside for guidance, preferring to ignore their father’s advice, and become their own man. Its important to have good mentorship in this stage. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Remember - the pickpockets always work to distract their victims while they’re grabbing their wallet. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick There are now 2 former lax bros on Nostr! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Fair.

Some are more stubborn than others…later in life obstinance can be a real gift. As far as discipline…consider that human behavior responds to a combo of the carrot and the stick. Set guidelines and communicate them. Good behavior gets the carrot, bad behavior the stick. Carrots at that age are more freedom, time to play, etc. The stick…not a physical stick but a real consequence. Could be a real meaningful timeout, loss of privileges/toys, pushups/laps if you’re coaching, etc can show that there are consequences to not following the rules of the game. Finally, be consistent with the rules, rewards and consequences with your spouse. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Awesome! Twice the reward! Best advice I can give for first 6 months, when you’re tested physically and emotionally is the old adage of “this too shall pass.” When at wits end, breathe and remind yourself of the above. The wins start stacking quickly once your child starts to smile and interact with you, but the first cpl months are a marathon. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick 👊 awsome thread. Feels like Dads have been away for a while…like a deployment or prolonged business trip…kids in society were left unsupervised and broke some shit…we’re back and time to fix what’s broken. npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick You and your spouse are a team. You’re either playing man or zone but never play against one another or those little fuckers will eat you alive! npub1klypsyjkgr2aavaslvy4snp78780f5phnx5pc9ffmyjt29553hysww73vf Mattymick Any young father’s need some middle aged parenting wisdom…I got your back. 19, 16 and 10….its been a wild ride.
