“Life is short - do things that matter!” You both embody that sentiment that’s for sure! Shout out to Matt and Marty, true Gladiators, standing up for all of us plebs, in the belly of the beast! Bitcoin would not be as successful as it is without champions like you both. So chuffed and proud to call you both friends. Love from the swamp rat from down under! 🧡🧡🧡 PS “we are the swamp” was a classic opening statement! 😂😂😂😂

Farewelled a fav uncle yesterday. What a celebration of his 81 yrs. He was one of those gems who gave up his tine to teach many, much! He taught us to cherish the great out doors and the freedom found within it. TIME is our most powerful currency. Be generous with it for those you love and use it wisely. Love Sil 💜🧡💜

Travelling through Peru a second time in we have noticed a significant change - this time people have gone from indifference (last year) to knowing they now need #Bitcoin Ran into two young French girls selling banana bread at a world famous left! They mentioned my bitcoin hat - it opened up the conversation. I zapped them sats for their baked goodies. Turns out they were lil stackers! It’s a beautful thing! Be the change you want to see in the world. Love Pringle 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Ps zapped 44444 sats last week to general RHR acc. hope you got your cut Matt 😅😂

The problem with people who take advantage of others providing value, is that they have not yet encountered the right individual who will step up and TAKE the value that they are due. If I provide value for someone and they take advantage of my work ethic or value, me personally have no problem slapping the shit out of them and taking my value. But they have brain washed most of us to be sheep and not take matters into our own hands.

My take on anyone who is against V4V is not only my enemy but the enemy of everything that is good on earth. Anyone who is not 100% V4V and has sponsors can be manipulated. So whoever isn’t down should lay down or get layed out, perdiod!
