Just got a notice from our landlord explaining why our rent is increasing.
Surprisingly there was no line item for "government debt spiral" 😏
Decided to do a quick and angry #bitcoin spot buy to help with the emotions.
What a day, got to buy the dip twice in under 24 hours 🤣
#bitcoin
When #bitcoin goes from 27k to 30k back to 27k all in the same day.
Still buying more 🧡📈

We are willing to accept that we are poorer, if you are willing to admit that you are brain dead.
#bitcoin fixes this
So excited to dive in, I'll be listening in my morning walk today 🌅
Toss a sudo in there if you really wanna party 💥
All these stupid Argentinian's are flocking to #bitcoin as their currency rapidly inflates.

Don't they know the future is blockchain monkey NFT real estate in the metaverse? 😏
Mainstream media's brilliant new solution to the rapid depreciation of pension and retirement plan's relative value.
"You'll work forever, and be happy. "

Hit me up if when you finish it! One of the most interesting (and depressing) topics I've learned about recently.
Look what just came in the mail! So excited to start this one, any Nostriches read it yet?
❤️🤍🖤

Makes sense, mainstream news is a shitcoin. 📉
Love the context and it makes seeing that beautiful purple of the app that much cooler
💜🔮👾🟣☪️😈🍆🟪
Appreciate all the work you do Victor and I am grateful to have people like you building a better future for all of us on Nostr!
The first iteration of this podcast was one if my favorites, this one was equally fantastic.
I didn't know what to expect going in, but ended up having surprise tears as they got into the topics of fatherhood at the end.
So much wisdom and unique ideas 💡 ❤️😭
Great day for some Mexican Ground Karate!
🥋🤼♂️❤️

I don't either... but what do you do when your government starts incentivizing everyone get into more debt?
If you don't, you lose purchasing power compared to the rest of the world.
I'm not being encouraged to use it as a tool.
With the entire credit system now flipped on its head, how are you all planning to tank your credit scores?
Couldn't ask for a better time to stack a little extra #bitcoin !
Today's gym session: simulate murder with other sweaty dudes 🤼♂️🥋
New book dropped today
Last year I started digging into the IMF and World Bank a little bit and was surprised that there were so few approachable books on the topic
This led me to keep digging, which led to a massive rabbit hole of archived essays and reports, interviews, and discontinued books going back 70 years all the way to the creation of the institutions at the end of WWII
What I started to realize as I learned — which became the thesis of the book — is that the IMF and World Bank actually exploit poor countries, they do not help them
This has mostly been achieved by working with dictators and corrupt officials to plunge emerging market countries into debt they can never pay back
Western lenders get paid back plus interest, and benefit from a massive economic engineering where entire societies are re-architected to suit the needs of rich nations instead of achieving industry and sovereignty
The Bank and Fund are known as charitable or maybe as flawed but necessary
In reality their operations are straightforwardly neocolonial, and they help subsidize the way of life in the West by depressing wages and looting resources in the global south
The book was a huge wake up call for me, I hope you can find it useful too

Immediately ordered 💥
Really been looking forward to this one Alex, appreciate all the work that you put out into the world ❤️
I've used many social media platforms, but never posted. It just never felt right to give a part of myself to a centralized party.
That all changed with Nostr. 💜
For the first time in my life I tasted true freedom of communication, in line with the underlying ethos of the internet. Since my initial days here I've felt compelled to share more of my life and energy.
And its been returned! 🧡
I walk away each time feeling more optimistic about our trajectory and couldn't be more grateful to spend my time with each one of you.
If you are reading these words, thank you for being part of this beautiful community, I can't wait to see where we all go over the years 🫂
Hot damn am I grateful that I don't shitcoin 😳
🔥🔥🔥
MacBook should be more than enough, great that's its also Unix based. You shouldn't need a huge amount of performance unless you have a really massive project you are planning to work on.
#jiujitsu was really formative for me because it forced me to stop getting obsessed with a single thing than moving to another.
If I want to get my black belt (in the most challenging martial art to do so), I have to learn to love the long path.
Absolutely. I've always been a "physical" learner, the muscle memory aspect of it is amazing.
Best investment I've made in my programming career. Not only does it make me more efficient, but it induces deeper flow states ❤️
VSCode is LEGIT.
I use that a lot too and have been experimenting with Copilot. Its cool, but not the gamechanger that many think it is.
It's been pretty cool for writing, it'll autocomplete things contextually based upon where I'm at in the story.
I finally brought vim/emacs into my writing environment, still using VSCode a lot for programming on my personal computer.
I've been giving a lot of thought to my programming and writing process lately.
What IDEs or tools do you like to use?
I hope that eventually you can use that pain as fuel, some of my best musical experiences have come during my lowest lows.
Until then 🫂
