Financial freedom and freedom of speech go hand-in-hand š¤
Sometimes I just have to get on a kayak for a week and disconnect. It does my heart goodš§āāļø #pleb life 
Friends, weāre living through moments of openings, in which weāre seeing movements and technologies that promote freedom (like #Bitcoin and #nostr) rising.
Amidst the (seemingly) dystopian world weāre in, there are people rising up to defend our collective political and financial freedom ā and thatās wildly encouraging!

That is beautiful advice ā¤ļø Iāll do that when I have my children. Curious why you think itās too late to create npubs for them?
Also, itās time for me to write again. This time Iāll focus on purple-pilling the left on #nostr, and why theyāre wrong to think censorship resistant, open protocols for social media (and more) is dangerous or for right wing neo-naziās, etc
Iāll probably reach out to get some statements from many of you nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1rscuek38p87xeawmpg9ssump8cjkgmz2j3rhnha4artvh0xjacwq9upeqk nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u nostr:npub18jgxqshg38cgzcv43zvqhnc7hjn223psy2kkmkpqt2azd9thyy4sxjc5gt nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx nostr:npub1hte85nxymfyez0nlmmxf287nh9cujfuetxhk9vptwcdqg0pn8pxqxasw3d

Great idea, Trey! I would be happy to!
When Justin was a senior in high school, his mother lost their home to foreclosure during the 2008 market crash. Soon after, he watched his close friend be killed at a party.
With the loss, desperate for money, and under the influence of the wrong crowd, he sought easy ways to get quick cash. This would turn his life around.
