Bitcoin is so beautiful I\u2019m about to cry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So a lot of people are kind of confused on why I\u2019m so into bitcoin, and how and why I got into the whole crypto game etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So long story short, grew up super super poor, and then, I became self-employed, and the whole time during my journey and my philosophical endeavors\u2026 Has always been about money, life, everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s kind of eerie is truth be told\u2026 bitcoin is starting to become like a pseudo religion to me. \ufffcMichael Saylor is like the high priest, the St. Paul,,, once denouncing Jesus (Satoshi),,, and now, becoming one of the strongest and ardent advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think, lotta people\u2026 Maybe like 99.9% of their issues in life is typically rooted about money finances economics etc. period much of the social illness society like poverty crime theft, gambling whatever\u2026 Or even the low birth rate, or the interest in dogs or children, this typically I think maybe primarily an economical financial issue. Like if you think that positive economic future, which is typically the feeling that Americans get\u2026. of course, nobody is going to save money, have kids, set roots,,, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bitcoin solves all of this. And it\u2019s like as exciting as investing in Apple in the 1980s even as exciting as the advent of digital photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What kind of interesting is many of my followers work in tech, are millennials like myself, I\u2019m born in 1988 currently 38 years old ,,,, they get tech but they don\u2019t get bitcoin? \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s like, telling people as photographers, imagine if, you had to write a paper check every time you went to the grocery store, ordered something on Amazon, and then I could promise you a credit card or Apple Pay or visa instead ,,,, what would you choose? Of course the digital payment solution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if these world, one of my happiest new uncoveries is,,, DoorDash with meat from Costco and super King, \ufffc\ufffcmeat delivered,,, on tap,,, beef ribs only $5.99 a pound? To me this is amazing. \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s like the digital transformation of food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RICOH MONOCHROME REVIEW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So in other random news, I think I\u2019ve had a fair amount of time now to play with the new Ricoh GR monochrome, now will probably give it a perfect 10 out of 10, the perfect camera ever created, ever since I started digital photography at the age of 18. \ufffc\ufffc so I guess 20 years in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first, the size. That\u2019s kind of shocking is\u2026 I think it actually may be smaller<\/em> than my original Canon SD power shot 600 that I got as a high school graduation present when I was 18 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe reason why this matters is because\u2026 In some ways, it actually feels more portable and more lightweight and better balanced than even an iPhone Pro?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, the monochrome only feature. It\u2019s totally is the bees knees, .. and the red filter is actually insanely shocking on what\u2019s different it does make. It\u2019s almost like the new flash, because\u2026 It brightens human faces and even blooming yellow red and orange flowers, maybe even orange Lamborghinis ,,, which means, you don\u2019t need a flash anymore<\/strong>, \ufffc\ufffc\u2026 this is kind of an insanely big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlso\u2026 You could literally shoot it out like 1 million ISO with practically normal noise, so there is not really ever going to be a situation in which it is too dark to take photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third, the macro feature. I\u2019m shocked, it\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve had the opportunity to shoot in macro mode, wow it\u2019s amazing. Like 1 trillion more things more opened up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fourth, a level of contrast you could get out of camera in JPEG high contrast monochrome mode blows my mind. And also what\u2019s kind of surprising and shocking too is the new grainy monochrome feature really does look like Neopan 400 film pushed to 1600. In my eyes it looks like 99.99% film. So there\u2019s literally zero reason anymore to shoot black-and-white film anymore<\/strong>. \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\nFifth, the photos just look amazing! So I suppose the moment where you can no longer complain or make excuses about your camera is a moment that you could truly thrive as a photographer because you know nothing is holding yourself back only yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the level of sharpness is insane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
People talk about Leica lenses being sharp blah blah blah, no\u2026 Ricoh GR monochrome photos without the anti-aliasing filter and now with the monochrome filter without a color array is like literally the new samurai sword on steroids. \ufffc\ufffc\ufffc the photos look like four times sharper than even my $3000 Leica M 35mm summicron f2 lens. Maybe even sharper than a Leica 50mm APO f2 lens,,, at like \u2026 1\/10th of the cost,,, \u2026 camera and sensor included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the camera that everyone wants but, perhaps doesn\u2019t know yet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kind of like the same thing with bitcoin. \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think the tricky thing is\u2026 There are certain things that everyone wants, but, they haven\u2019t had exposure to it or tried it out or even though that it exists? Even like STRC which pays you 11.5% monthly dividend, tax deferred\u2026 It\u2019s like a bank checking account on steroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the most beautiful rendition of a photo humanly possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
And this is the big shocker, shooting photos of it of Seneca and humans and whatever\u2026 It literally delivers the most beautiful photos I have ever seen in my whole photographic life even more than any film camera anything possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so why does this matter \ufffc\ufffc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Even the highlights, details everything textures, is so insanely effing beautiful\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the reason why this matters so much is because, as artists\u2026 isn\u2019t maximizing the beauty of our artwork the desired outcome? Then if that is the case, you must get a Ricoh monochrome at any expense<\/strong>. It\u2019s only like $2200\u2026 A few hundred bucks more than a Fujifilm X 100. And I think like 1 trillion times better. Also 1 billion times better than your Leica M, or Q\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\nJust buy it on Amazon, try it out, try it out for like a few weeks and if you don\u2019t like it you could just return it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so clear and so crisp<\/h2>\n\n\n\nphotography becomes exciting again! \ufffc\ufffc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Why? Because you\u2019re curious about how the photos will render in black-and-white, the first perfect monochrome only digital camera\u2026 The product we have all been waiting for<\/strong>!\ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nInfinite capital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kind of an unrelated thought, on my daily hike:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you think about it, the reason why bitcoin makes so much sense, it is\u2026 Fiat currency issued by the US government is going up in scale forever, infinitely\u2026 Whereas, bitcoin\u2019s hard cap of 21 million bitcoins forever is capped forever\u2026 And therefore if you think about the asymmetry, obviously\u2026 Bitcoin priced in US dollars will simply just go up forever<\/strong>. \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\nBuy Bitcoin & the Ricoh monochrome & chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
