My mother-in-law’s vitals have stabilized. It’s been a long 2 weeks since she was admitted to the ICU.
She is beating the odds so far, thanks primarily to her strength & resilience.
No doubt the positive energy coming at her every day is a difference maker.
She’s still unconscious with brief moments of awareness. Whether it’s from the family who are here every day talking to her positively, music that’s being created & played to her, nurses who are taking care of her with great empathy or Father Saunders from London who keeps coming to bless her and lift her spiritually, she can hear while in this state and it must be giving her strength.
Thanks to LukeDashJr for the connection to Father Saunders, I am not a super religious person - but the odds of her surviving 13 days ago when she entering the ICU were about 15%.
Luke told me not to get my hopes up, but the extreme unction could have healing powers. I’m sure it helped.
She is looking better but we are not out of the woods yet. It can take up to 50 days for stem cell engraftment. We are at day 26.
Yesterday she was moved to another room in the ICU, a healing room with a big window and a beautiful view.
This big red tree is what she has a view of when she opens her eyes once or twice a day. I’m sure that gives her hope.
Today when we were visiting, she had a squirrel perched right at the window watching over her.
We have faith she’s going to continue beating the odds as we continually see things move baby steps in the right direction.
It’s been a very rough month and especially the last 2 weeks have been taxing.
My 13 year old daughter is pretty sad at times, I try to keep her busy or let her go on screens and play games to distract her.
Any suggestions for how to help my daughter process this would be very much appreciated. 
Is anyone working on building a GPT?
I keep running into errors after I upload documents.
I really wish I had a teacher to explain to me how to do it properly.
Who’s the current George Carlin?

The Bitcoin Coalition of Canada is happy to announce that we’ve funded nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20‘s latest film exploring the
bitcoin revolution in Peru!
We are Platinum sponsors.
I also saw many other Canadian Bitcoiners supporting a fellow Canuck on the leaderboard 💪
Check out his campaign and look at all of the incredible perks he’s got on the Plebraiser.

I just frigged up. I moved 5 years of dormant coins from an old wallet without using coin control 🤦♂️
All those UTXOs into one big 🪣 doh
Can you buy just the cryptosteel tube & stem without all the letters?
Have yourself an Azteco voucher! 
He can register an account at coinos.io in a couple of seconds and join hundreds of other merchants using it to take retail lightning payments.
We'll get him listed on our homepage and btcmap.org and start promoting him to the community in an effort to send new business his way.
Once he accumulates a bit of a balance it's easy to withdraw to an on-chain cold storage address at any time. We can walk him through options for setting that up when the time comes.
I'd suggest printing out a QR code linking customers to his profile page e.g. https://coinos.io/shawarmacorner and posting it up near the cash register. From there they'll be able to create and pay invoices and add tips all from their phone without him or his staff having to use a device to generate an invoice or QR for them to scan.
We tell merchants to just enter all bitcoin sales as "cash" into whatever existing PoS and accounting systems they already have in place. We report what the CAD value is at the time of sale and total up all payments for the day so they can easily see them all at cash out time.
If he already has a tablet or phone to receive payment confirmations, great, he can install the app on his homescreen. If not, we're happy to ship out one of our custom thermal receipt printers to provide even easier paper notifications.

Wow cool, how many merchants using that?
Looks way better than just using muun or something!
…in addition to the info on the website… You can also request Bitcoin business information pamphlets to give out - as well as “Bitcoin Accepted Here” stickers nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4
Great resources, I have those and will give to him. I was thinking YouTube videos or a podcast?
I went to a local burrito shop to donate to his pay it forward food wall. He had a high tech looking square terminal.
I asked the owner if he ever thought about accepting Bitcoin for the pay it forward meals.
Then we had a 20 min convo about how he wants to learn more about Bitcoin, he was even aware of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m leaving Twitter to focus more on Bitcoin.
He said he almost bought at $60k, but he didn't.
He even said it's a shame everyone relates ape jpegs and ftx to Bitcoin, he didn't think the other coins were interesting, Bitcoin seemed like the only one to have a real shot at competing with the banks.
What merchant focused resources can I send this man to help him learn why Bitcoin, and how to easily accept sats for burritos.
What is the best resource to explain to someone the risks of the pension system, and the ponziesque nature of it?
What is the absolutely easiest way for Frankie MacDonald to start using Nostr on his phone, where he is receiving Bitcoin tips to his Lightning wallet?
What’s the most dead simple step by step guide I can give him to help him setup both Nostr and Lightning?
I had an idea for nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 to make some tamper proof bags with a CAUTION ⚠️ or RADIOACTIVE ☢️ warning.
That way if a would be thief finds your metal backup plate, they may think twice about opening it, giving you more time to move funds after a theft.
Also, they’re fun. 
15% ain’t bad.
