Writing the Great American Bitcoin Novel 📚🧡✍️

It's quite scientific actually. The harder you ignore it, the more quickly it increases in price. 📈

😱🏃‍♂️💨

So far the lack of constant negativity and the surplus of problem solvers and innovators has been a breath of fresh air.

For some reason it has become cool to be pessimistic. I reject that shit. This world is a gift and we are surrounded by countless brilliant people and ideas.

Let's fight the good fight and keep pumping positivity out into the world. 💪🧡

"I'd rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right." ⛅

A potential workaround solution could be building some kind of browser extension that would work on top of Stack Overflow. You can ⚡ tip the question answerer, and then they are DM'd that they have received a lighting payment if they set up an account with the service.

I think the ideal scenario would be building it on top of or alongside Stack Overflow, not separate from it. Their network effects are incredibly powerful, if they were willing to add lightning payments I think it would be a huge success for everyone involved.

I totally agree. I'm about as far on the bitcoin maxi side of the spectrum as one can be, but that doesn't supersede the importance of being a kind person.

We should be unwavering in our pursuit of the truth, but our language should attack the idea, not the human.

"If you build it, they will come."

Well, at least I would come. I don't believe that a single social network has provided me with as much functional value as Stack Overflow—I would love to give some back to all the brilliant people in that community. ⚡🧡

Too late. Already followed you 🙃

I do think there is a ton of overlap between #BJJ and #Bitcoin. Each of them reward truth.

Superior techniques rise in popularity as the sport evolves in the same manner that technology evolves and rewards the best ideas. Each has a unique way in forcing personal growth.

I believe this to be a fundamental truth. It's an idea that pairs well with another favorite of mine:

"If you know the way broadly, you will see it in everything" -Miyamoto Musashi

Boom. Updated.

Appreciate the help #[3]  💜⚡🧡

I'll hop onto this gratitude train: #[2] and #[0] were the two primary people that finally pushed me to get an account.

Been here less than 24 hours and I've already felt the power and potential that radiate across this space.

Thank you, hit me up if you check out any of them 📚

Best so far this year: The Internet of Money 🧡

Best last year: Atomic Habits ⚛️

Best you maybe haven't heard of: The Happiness Advantage 😄

No better way to spend a weekend! I had to miss my normal training session because of our baby shower this weekend, but you better believe I'll be training overtime this week to make up the difference 🖐️👊💜

🧡🧡🧡

Somewhere along the line it became cool to be a pessimist. Let's reject that idea and embrace the beauty that exists every day in the world. We are surrounded by exciting new ideas, brilliant innovations, and the hope that comes from human ingenuity.

Agreed. I started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with a coworker, six years later he still talks about wanting to train and improve himself, I've been doing it every single week for six years. Interest ≠ Action.

My single biggest surprise since joining #Bitcoin is how much more optimism it has given me about the future. It has placed so much power back into the hands of the individual, I'm so fortunate to be involved in the most important technological revolution of my lifetime.
