Since discovering Bitcoin I’ve become a quality maximalist, helped along by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Learning how to properly identify and maintain high quality items, like leather boots and dress shoes has deepened my relationship to my limited possessions, while helping me avoid making impulsive purchases on throwaway fiat goods. I really do believe the growth of our landfills is correlated with the speed of the money printer.

Cool. What do you ride?
Nothing yet! Any recommendations??
That's a hard one. Everyone has their own riding style preferences, like you're typically into Harley Crusiers or Ducati Super Sports or BMW Touring type rider. I'm into Street Naked bikes and ride a Yamaha MT-09. It's not for everyone but fits me.
love the chuch in the background, where is this?
St. Elias The Prophet Ukrainian Catholic Church. Located in Brampton, Ontario. It's a great little hidden gem to stop into. Typically gates are always open.
hahha yes I used to live around the corner! I thought I recognized it. I will upload some of my drone pics of it in a moment!!
Amazing. Very cool! You ever go to the Mississauga Model Flying Club?
Btw. I'm an Arborist. If you ever get your drone stuck in a tree, call me.
No I haven't. I've moved about an hour north since then. Lots of free open space up here in Dufferin County. I have a 400 acre farm field right behind my backyard, no buildings. Best of both worlds. I am struggling with planting cedars here though, the earth is very clayey! :(
I actually got to teach Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to an AP English class when I was student teaching. Amazing material for those thoughtful kids to engage with.
Each time I've read it I feel like I understand about 80% of it (comprehension starts high and then starts plummeting to the finish). But it just casts a spell and is such an incredible perspective reset.
Quality > Quantity
😎A real-world example of Bitcoin encouraging a Steady-State economy and undermining the myth that constant expansion is in any way related to growth in prosperity.
