A local Taiwan beer. I love how there's a glass that fits one can perfectly.

Taiwan beer drinking culture is changing. We have way more brands now and so many more styles. Buckskin is one of the biggest brands, brought to you by the same guys who made Kavalan whiskey and Mr. Brown coffee. Awarding winning too! It makes me feel proud when Taiwan wins the same awards as the international community at large. We are a small mighty independent nation!

more orchids spotted outdoor! it is always a surprise when I see them in a natural context (as opposed to indoors in a vase)

this photo was taken just outside the farmers market area near Huashan Creative Park ่ฏๅฑฑๅตๆๅๅ in Taipei. The park area includes a huge green park space and many repurposed old buildings that serve as shop, exhibition spaces and cafes. A must see if you're visiting, especially if you're a creative type!

And I love it
at first glance I thought it was a messed up AI version of the cover of that one Nirvana album ๐
very cool though!
recognizing you have a problem is a good first step.
next time, try to take one deep breath before you react. it can be an angry breath, but it must be a full inhale and exhale. if you can, take two or more breaths. if you react first, don't sweat it. just take a couple breaths anyway.
this serves a few purposes. one, you get oxygen to your brain. two, you calm your nervous system. three, it gives your brain time to process what just happened.
if you want, practice breathing. I know it sounds dumb cuz "ofc I know how to breathe, how do you think I live" but taking the time to really feel your inhale and exhale and observe the changes in your body will help you use it as a tool when you need it to calm down.
I hope that helps ๐
ask AI to teach you something that you already know. AI is really good at making BS sound plausible. When you ask AI about something you know and it gets it wrong, you realize that you can't believe everything it says.
I'm glad there's someone else that calls hamstrings leg biceps ๐
#NostrBookClub is postponed this week until next Wednesday. One extra week to catch up on chapter 4, Government Money of the Bitcoin Standard.
See y'all next week!

I don't have a beard but I get the same feeling of going to new hairdresser. they always take off too much ๐ญ
Taiwan is full of #epicnature ๐

I think it depends on the business. Your niche is the majority of the audience that's on Nostr right now. That's working in your favor.
using hashtag for marketing is already a thing on other social media platforms. nostr doesn't do that any better. in some ways it does it worse because there's so much clutter in hashtags that isn't filtered out by algorithms looking at content quality.
the ROI on social media marketing via ads is unbeatable right now. the money that you pay to get your small business to get it in front of exactly who your customer is cheap compared to other methods. The big SM sites can do it because they have so much user data.
How does Nostr beat that? Right now, I don't have an answer for that. Maybe inherent in it's decentralized design it can't. Maybe because of its decentralized design, it can.
I'm planning on running a Nostr only Bitcoin only small business so I'll let you know how it goes.
declining shitcoiners is really vital. Saying "no, get out with that shit" and rejecting them very clearly that you're Bitcoin send a very important message.
I've seen previous shitcoin shillers turn around because of it.
Kindness to others but also to ourselves
Humility to continue learning and admit our mistakes
