one way I like to think of it: bitcoin is like nostr, a decentralized protocol, no CEO, no management, rules without rulers.

crypto is like Twitter, a centralized “company”/authority that can change the rules, rules BY rulers.

yes, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, but it’s the only decentralized cryptocurrency. Bitcoin ties the digital world to the physical world through its PoW mining, but I won’t get into the weeds.

alright, come at me with the torches and pitchforks 🔥

Diasabuse yourself of the harmful notion that modern science will find some way to allow you to live forever.

You will not live forever.

Like all human beings before you, you are going to die.

You are dying right now in fact.

But are you living?

That’s the question.

not giving twitter any of my attention or screentime over the last month feels like a superpower

find myself reading books again, less stressed about the state of the world, generally unconcerned & optimistic, my news has just become the weather, i feel unpressured to turn out rote virtue signally engagement tweets, far less screentime, standing all day, i take many breaks to just walk around & be idle, losing weight, devoting more irl time to my family, to cooking, to stretching, to yoga, coming to jiu jitsu early & staying late, forgetting about my phone, spending hours per day outside as opposed to just minutes…

may appear ironic that I’m posting this here, but here and there exist on different planes.

Here we have a constructive culture of forward oriented optimists. We are early. We have a singleness of purpose. We’re aligned on freedom of communication & monetary freedom and each day the circumference of our virtual world increases just a bit & the gravity of our solutions pulls in new users.

Over time our funnel will widen and the culture here will change drastically, but as long as Nostr is a net positive on the world and my day to day life, I’m in.

GM to everyone trying to claim they or someone else is bullish enough.

Sorry you are not. It’s not possible. nostr:note19m6mvtu6s4njdm9judmtdlre8twvdhdy9cvykdc3z3fpuadkpedq2sy74y

Life as a carnivore is so simple. No more decision fatigue in the grocery store, restaurant, or shopping street.

relevance span of a bitcoin influencer is about 1 cycle

many absolutely losing the plot the days, advocating for the censorship & deplatforming of anyone who disagrees with them or uses Bitcoin in a way deemed sacrilege

sad to see. Bitcoin is both a free market & a commons.

ride that tension, understand it, cope

It took me awhile to realize they are all shitcoins, but have to thank Ripple for my last two down payments on cars. Lol

So dollar lowest in 15 months. Spx and gold up pretty big. Btc down 😂. Makes sense

Yeah, in parts my bulk oil has gone from $4-$6 in 2 years

in most places variable rate mortgages are the norm, the reason that is not the case in america is because the government backstops the loans
