Hey honestly, that doesn’t help, because the QR code provided thru LND via Umbrel isn’t scannable by Zeus. That’s the breakdown.

I may not be communicating this intuitively, but my point is that users all over the interwebs also, and clearly, share this frustration: that they can’t scan Zeus via the QR code provided by Umbrel. I’ve run into this complaint so many times in trying to dyor.

Take that as you will…Umbrel is not great, yes. But it’s huge, and works.

So. My point is. I don’t know where the breakdown occurred, but I really love you all as the manly love-beasts you are…but…not until this gets fixed.

I had a convo earlier tonight, and decided I wanted to share this shard of an imperfect understanding with all y’all, in case it inspires someone to look for deeper understanding:

The number of biological stuff science has grouped under the term “Hormones” quite literally rule our lives, and we don’t know it.

The handful of identified hormones in us are ill-understood, but generally accepted to define us, and often fuck our shit up.

It might be said that “Who Am I?” is a question answered by “What Is the Cocktail of My Hormones? That is who I am.” Because that cocktail determines how I feel myself, and how I present myself to others. Maybe, maybe not, dyor.

But do you follow me?

And there are many other ‘hormones’ that are even less understood. Vasopressin is an identified hormone that has been questioned for years because - while generally identified with fluid-management in the body - also seems to cause the severe emotional discomfort we experience in ‘break ups’ and ‘heartbreak’. Vasopressin may be a fundamental chemical compound that has forced humans to want to slash their guts as they fall off a high cliff for centuries on end…not because they lost a life-ending love, but just because they got bad chemicals in them.

None of this is to say that modern pharmacology has any real answers whatsoever! They’ve got some barely useful drugs that can be very useful in the right clinical relationships, yes.

More important to what all this is about:

If you feel, fundamentally, that you’re out-of-sorts, a misfit, an outsider, a loser, not meant for this world, etc. It’s very, very likely its that you have a hormonal imbalance. Your bad chemicals are in control of you. You can’t change this, but you can begin to work against it, and if you do, you’ll become a normal happy wanderer NPC like all the rest of us!

So: every hormone has a ‘balance’, usually provided by nature. For instance, mucuna pruriens (‘velvet bean’) is a naturally abundant source of L-DOPA, which is a biological pre-cursor of Dopamine. Meaning it provides an abundance of resource for your body to generate Dopamine. Dopamine evidently gives ‘meaning’ to life, so people who lack dopamine, or its building-blocks, experience life as having no real meaning. So by identifying the lacking hormone (dopamine) - and the naturally derived ‘balancing agent’ for your ‘imbalance’ - you can find firm footing for a study on how to get your shit together.

tl;dr: Hormones control us, and we don’t spend time learning about the very, very early science of them.

One of the best early lessons I was taught was to think of sats like this:

00,000,000

Once I did that it was so easy…except the handful of apps/wallets that don’t go out the full 9 digits.

Anything in the works for fixing the broken Umbrel QR code? Cuz that’s a huge pain.

o7 sir!

How is this payment service working out for you, btw?

I’ve been using CyberGhost for the past few years, but have a note on my calendar to switch to Mullvad before re-upping next month.

Wasn’t aware of this payment option…

That’s a great theory. I can’t confirm as I don’t have access to a Bloomberg terminal…. UBS stock hasn’t shown much reaction, so I’m doubting this storyline atm.

Hey, for fun, what are the 5 Oceans in the World?

No websearches, just a trivia question.

Just an idle thought…

In less than a year I’ll know whether there will be a US election in 2024.

Presently, I give it a 40/60 chance.

So at the first sign that it might be postponed/cancelled/etc, I’ve got my Plan B in place to gtfo the USA.

I won’t do that ahead of time, because I love my people, my country…and I don’t want to be a foreigner in a foreign place as the 4th Turning hits the world.

But while I love my country, I fear my government.

So I do have my bug-out bag in my closet.

Completely agree…this is just early reporting, to get the gossip out here... nostr:note1p8270g2l9kp2qvakj8lp99cxgk7ftc0267kcywxt362slfha2trsa7u5r7

I agree 100%.

And then I think, “If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, are my several wallets lost forever?”

….?

Bitcoin education is still in the early innings. nostr:note19lyekvyl3gkw50c03fyx0cy69xyha5zn5kl54cpnuun8x63q828s47tlla

I think I get where you’re coming from..and I feel the same.

I believe it’s because Bitcoiners have become so bored with how the future is playing out exactly as we’ve envisioned it, that we either reject social media, OR we constantly seek someone who’ll offer something we haven’t already foreseen years ago, and on a weekly basis.

Either way, I’ve grown bored, as I suspect maybe you’re expressing the same?

Bitcoin has, imho, outgrown social media, and is going to fomo into realms of genuine responsibility that don’t just sit around and talk about it on social media..

I don’t know if I’m expressing this correctly but personally, I cannot fucking wait for this.

Great points, and I can’t find more signal as yet on this story. My gut feeling is it’s true.

We’ll have to wait and see. I don’t own a Bloomberg terminal, so I can’t vouch for the CUSIP change.

Again, we’ll see. But I believe we’re on the precipice of banking collapse, because only an NPC doesn’t foresee this. nostr:note1p8270g2l9kp2qvakj8lp99cxgk7ftc0267kcywxt362slfha2trsa7u5r7

Can’t find more on the UBS story, other than the CEO saying (3 days ago) that everything is fine but IF they went under they’d look to a private buyer to take the bank over.

UBS may have just imploded:

“UBS Group AG is a multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Co-headquartered in the cities of Zürich and Basel, it maintains a presence in all major financial centers as the largest Swiss banking institution and the largest private bank in the world.

Yesterday, UBS appears to have FAILED-TO-DELIVER on Bonds that were due.

According to rapidly-spreading reports, not only has UBS Failed-to-Deliver on Bonds, but The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) reportedly took action to COVER-UP the UBS Failure-to-Deliver; DTCC allegedly *** D E L E T E D *** the CUSIP Numbers for those bonds, so as a matter of record, those bonds "no longer exist." Apparently, they're simply "gone."”

When u listened to a lot of Bitcoiners and u setup ur own node and u got Zeus cuz it seemed legit for nodes and it worked great and that’s all u knew but then all the other Wallets became Gaza hospitals…. nostr:note14cmz7mqw620s3j5v6apu2afe7cxasaknd2cakvulh7r56u3c2alsvwe4rn

You’re going the long , long route, imho.

“In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching” P. D. Ouspensky, is a worthy start.

Hey Wallet of Satoshi: your business model was being easy for newbs.

Fair enough.

Now you’re getting cucked.

So did you have a Plan B?

If not, you’re done, close your business. You’re done.

You needed to have a Plan B for this, and if you didn’t, you don’t have a business. You’re just a bunch of children who did some shit with Bitcoin.

You NEEDED to have a Plan B, or you are history. nostr:note1sgvwy56j9ys90wxrfyzscfqy6xs7jrlz64czjpgkhwenvwv8qelscccfl5

Among people who think about and value money, the zeitgeist around the planet now is Fear. Fear of losing money.

If you’re afraid of losing money (all are) you panic for the exits.

First exit is US Dollar currency (and if you’re moving to US Treasuries hfsp).

Second exit is resources, if you can.

Third exit is Tether, closely followed by the

Fourth exit is Bitcoin.

Yeah, there’s some other minor shit, let’s focus on what’s actually happening.

The flight of Fear is on. The lockdown on exit points is on. The game is absolutely afoot.

4th Turning is happening, we have another year of Clown World before we know whether to stay and fight or flee and go global.
