As many of you know I am a BIG fan of [Umbrel](https://umbrel.com/) which is a free personal server OS that allows you to run a bunch of open-source apps in a very user-friendly way.

I posted a tweet a few days ago commenting on my incidental encounter with the high fees and long wait times of Bitcoin that we are currently experiencing due to the flood of adoption driven by Ordinals and BRC20. The poll in the tweet was reposted to Facebook, where I received a comment from an old friend who is an astrologer. Her comment essentially said, "Ditch Bitcoin for Gold and Silver, as the government is going to take control of Bitcoin."

I'm back! It feels like a lifetime since my first couple of posts almost two weeks ago. Although my absence wasn't planned (some detox and then relatives visited), it gave me time to reevaluate my approach to this whole endeavor. I realized that I've only hinted at the "what and why" of this journey, and I need to delve deeper before diving into practical Bitcoin how-to's.
