šØATTN Bitcoiners, today we ask for your help. Please read.
Estela Aguilar, known locally as the Abuelita, is the founder of the first farmer's market to accept Bitcoin in Costa Rica.
Her story is inspiring. She has fought harder & sacrificed more than anyone I've ever met to defend her personal sovereignty, freedom & way of life.
She recently sat down for an interview that will both make your jaw drop and warm your heart. All in 3 minutes. Be sure to watch this video, it's the best one you will see today on Twitter.
As a mother of 6, she's been shot, beaten, arrested & jailed while defending her small farm in the countryside from multinational corporations looking to take her land.
This 74 year old woman instinctually knew that Bitcoin is freedom money and she was all in from the very first day we met. Every week, she gladly sells the products of her farm for Bitcoin. She's a natural born HODLr.
Just a couple weeks ago, she took in a family of Venezuelan migrants and provided them with shelter, food, clothes, medicine, anything they needed. Putting politics aside, she saw people in need and she gave with all her heart.
In return, one of these migrants (while on drugs & alcohol), intentionally set fire to every structure on her little farm burning it to the ground. Then they disappeared.
She's filed a police report, but doesn't expect anything to happen- these people are long gone.
We're asking you to donate some sats to help rebuild her home. Anything helps.

watched the video and am sad to hear what happened. Sent some sats!
So...as an American the term "making dozens redundant" was utterly confusing. I thought the headline was trying to say SBD was making their competition redundant š¤£ We call that "layoffs" on this side of the pond.
One of the major #powerlifting equipment and apparel manufacturers is laying off employees. I don't really see this as mainly due to inflation but that the company is trying to grow too fast into a niche market. I own SBD gear, and the stuff is extremely high quality. My wrist wraps and knee sleeves are still going strong after 8 years of use. I imagine it is hard to expand a company focused on making high quality products when the products produced by said company could outlive it!
definitly going to read that linked artical by nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp!
Thanks for putting this together. The bit about the FBI putting out a warning about hackers was interesting. Thanks for what you do!
This book is one of the books that fundamentally altered my perception of the world. It opened my eyes to see how I was benefiting from a system in a way I was completely unaware of. I was left in awe of how much work had to be put in, over time, by many who had gone before me. While my trust in those in charge of this system today has waned over the years, I must admit it is an unimaginably better economic system than the many I could have been born into. Last time I read this book was before I became aware of Bitcoin. I plan on reading it again soon to see what new or changed opinions I hold may influence my perception of this book or the world around me. I highly encourage anyone who has not read this before to give it a read!
What book or other resource has changed your view on a fundamental level?
why did I laugh so hard at this š¤£

And people actually thought he was Satoshi?!?! š¤¦āāļø
nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a has inspired me to do more long form stories on nostr.
It was a random thursday, the summer between junior and senior year of high school.
Me and three of my buddies were getting high in the back of my friend Daveās mustang, when someone decided we needed to go on a beer run.
For anyone who isnāt aware, a beer run is very literally what it sounds like. You grab a case of beer and run š out of the store before anyone catches you.
Conversation then turned to who was going to do the beer run. (You only need one guy) My friend Dave was driving so he was out. I had turned 18 recently and I didnāt want to risk big boy jail. Which left my friend James and my friend Brad. James didnāt want to do it because he was wearing flip flops. Brad made up some bs about how he twisted his ankle skateboarding (which was a lie). So ultimately James was like āfine Iāll do it you fucking pussiesā and he got out of the car.
So we watch James walk into the grocery store from the car, the plan is to pick him up around back when he runs out.
Hereās where things get crazy. The grocery store is next to a target and as James walk into the store a police helicopter pulls into the sky above the parking lot weāre in.
āFuck, this is bad. Ok quick call James š± let him know that the beer run is off.ā
I dial up James on my phone and as itās ringing I see him bolt out of the store, two angry grocery clerks chase after him. Heās running so fast that his flip flops come flying off behind him and heās now running barefoot on 130 degree asphalt.
He turns the corner and the police helicopter sees him, and starts yelling at him through the bullhorn to get on the ground. He throws the beer in the air and puts his hands up. 70 cans of beer going rolling down the hill.
Weāre in the back of the mustang stoned. Watching all this play out, freaking the fuck out.
We decide we better split, so we quietly drive off and go to my friends house.
A few hours later we get a call from James, the cops are letting him go with a ticket and a court appearance and we can come pick him up from the target.
We go to pick him up and we learn that there had been an armed robbery at the target at the exact time we were pulling off a beer run next door. Two masked men with guns were robbing the registers. They were both being apprehended precisely at the moment we were pulling off a stupid beer run. Talk about bad luck lol
The cops saw him running and assumed he was part of it. They put him on the ground and had the K-9 unit guard him.
After the dust cleared and they realized he was just a dumb kid on a beer run they decided to cut him loose. They had bigger fish to fry that day.
My friend Dave and I still get together and tell this story at least once a year and always compare notes to make sure we remember it correctly.
We joke about how everyone thinks weāre embellishing or outright lying when we tell them about the helicopter interrupting our beer run.
Iāve been telling this story so long it almost doesnāt seem real to me either.
But it definitely happened and was one of the craziest things Iād ever seen in my life lol š
that is freaking wild haha. I love it.
"Rare" cases.... like "Rare" in video game terms probably? Not so low it's legendary but not so common it's grey.
Unfortunatly it did not prevent the movie from being spolied for me. 6th Sense was also spoiled for me as well š

this most recent #PathOfExile league is the first league I played through. My first league was at some point in 2018 but the learning curve was so steep I never stuck around. I tried it on and off.over the years with the Necropolis league being the first one I beat the campaign on. I can officially say I am addicted now and super excited for the difference in game play that #POE2 has to offer.
My top 3 game play features of POE currently are:
1. wide range of class builds. the vast talent tree really makes for choices in game that are meaningfully different
2. variety of end game content. from delve to abyss and onto strong boxs and eng game bosses there is a wide variety of end game options.
3. chase items. the thrill of farming and trying to find valuable items is a huge hook for me.
top 3 issues
1. the 2nd half of the campaign is terrible. feels like a maze running simulator and makes leveling new characters a chore and is boring....
2. screen clutter. The abilities of Characters in combo with mobs and mob attacks makes it so chaotic I cannot tell what's happening andI find myself not even sure what is going on sometimes.
3. the game design is so complex you are forced to seek help from outside the game. The game does not offer any forgiveness for self exploration. this is something I love about games that is abscent here.
anyone else on nostr play POE?
