People are waking up. People are activating their inner honey badgers. The tide is turning. Free people cannot be quietly led to their demise. They will wake up and the pushback won't be pretty. I'll be the guy in the back row smiling proudly.

"Men don't care how nobly they live, only how long they live ..yet it's within the power of every man to live nobly, and within no man's power to live long." Seneca (Letters to Lucilius, 22)

Be happy with where you are, but never satisfied.

Live long enough, and you’ll become a philosopher.

Think more good thoughts.

"Don’t do things that you know are morally wrong. Not because someone is watching, but because you are. Self-esteem is just the reputation that you have with yourself. You’ll always know." -
Never forget the people who took a chance on you with nothing to gain if you succeeded but much to lose if you fail.

China may be leaving Bitcoin, but China also left the free Internet.

This is the last time a fiat currency bubble pops, because it’s the first time we have a viable alternative.
