Found Bitcoin in 2016, only started to understand it in 2018. I'm here to support it how I can. On Nostr since 2022

Does the convenience store near you have a money transfer license to sell you baseball cards?

Does your favorite restaurant have a money transmitter license to issue gift certificates?

Does Starbucks have a money transmitter license to issue those free coffee stamp cards?

Does GM have a money transmitter license to issue those cat purchase credits?

I bought some carrots at the farmers market using fiat. That makes me s money transmitter.

Your trusted middle party is my security leak.

Glad to do it, it's the least I can do! Thanks to your videos I got through some tough hodling times and I'm in a much better place now because of them. It's incredible how Nostr makes this possible 🎉❤️💐

Does anyone notice how we don't talk about 3 days for a transaction to settle in the fiat world?

A little info on what the magnesium does. It helps with the communication to the muscles, and let's them know when it's time to relax. Our food used to have sufficient amounts of it, however, modern foods often leave us lacking. I would send you a floradix to try, but since I don't have your address I'll do the next best thing, I'll zap you the sats to buy it. I just found it at iherb.com.

Consider it a baby gift from a fan who loves the work you and walker do!

There are 12 different types of magnesium. Anything with citrate tends to be too acid for many people. The easiest to digest is the one from floradix, since it is made from natural ingredients. The taste is relativity easy to get used to. If I take too much I'm running for the bathroom. A funny side effect is it can improve your vision for a few hours.

If your stomach does not like the supplement, it means it's not right for you. Try to find a better quality one. It means researching all the different calcium's, magnesiums, zinc, etc. I wish there was a shorter way, it really does pay off in the long run. Try some different ones until you find one that does not hurt.

You got this!

This is not an exaggeration. The internet is broken.

Mass corporate social media is broken. Stop using 'free' services where you are the product.

If you are up for it, talk with a dietition. It can do amazing things for you. We are often not getting all we need, and it's even more important at this stage. There were a few things we just didn't think about that a good dietition was able to point out.

Magnesium, silica, etc. And it's with getting the better quality ones if possible.

It's even more important in the US since it is very difficult to have a diet that has all the things you need.

If it's anything like bruxism, it can be painful and destructive to your teeth, while causing headaches and potentially broken teeth problems. In some cases you can crack a molar while you sleep. The next day you have neck pain, perhaps swollen gums, and of course those lovely headaches to go with it.

A few things that can help:

Find a good magnesium and take sufficient amounts of it. You might need other supplements to go with it. If you haven't taken much magnesium before, then it might send you to the toilet a little more often until your system gets used to it, totally normal.

Lookup tooth brackets, or retainers for bruxism. Get one and wear it every night. This will save your teeth, and reduce the headaches. They look similar to Invisalign, just more robust.

The jaw exercises can help a lot. It's also good to gently stretch your jaw by holding it lower and slightly forward. Do this everytime you feel stressed, even if it does feel a bit goofy.

It often hits worst when you are short on sleep. Thankfully babies do grow up.

Take care, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

And, just like that, Bitcoin became more scarce than gold.

Welcome to the fifth era of Bitcoin.
