I quit drinking a few weeks ago. Had been drinking pretty much everyday for the last 15 years. I did ween myself off if it over a long period, over a year. I finally decided to completely stop. Primarily because it makes extra weight stick to me, and it causes brain fog. I also quit smoking weed. I was an everyday smoker for a very long time too. I would prefer my mind be at full power than have these reality escapism tools.

Grats on quitting, when the cravings hit, just remember the craving will pass in ten minutes. When alcohol pops into your mind push it out. Don't entertain such thoughts.

The central bank, in concert with the government, is stealing our productivity gains, and our stored wealth, to spend it on their pet political projects.

Typically these projects are about buying support to keep themselves in power. Very devious.

An excellent message. This is like a digital age personal journal.

A couple who wants to build a successful relationship must understand each other's needs. A husband must always remember that a woman's needs and expectations are different from a man's. True intimacy can only be achieved when a woman finds a complete and fulfilling relationship. So, what do women look for in marriage?

Women marry to find a special best friend. They want someone who will share their secrets, laugh and joke with them, love them, cherish them, show affection, be romantic, and make them feel beautiful and desired. They seek someone who is emotionally attracted to them for their personality and physically attracted to them for their presence.

A woman desires a partner who will strive to live a good life together—laughing and rejoicing in good times, standing by each other, and offering support during hardships.

She wants a man who is steadfast in his faith, someone who can stand strong, take responsibility for the family, and help raise children according to Islamic teachings.

A woman wants her husband to be her friend, companion, and soulmate.

Any good husband must understand that a woman's primary need is emotional.

"The best of you are those who are the best to their wives."

He should then strive to be the best to his wife.

God has entrusted men with the responsibility of caring for their wives, which includes treating them with love and respect and making an effort to keep them happy. If a husband fulfills his wife's primary needs, not only will God reward him, but his wife will also be content with him, leading to a more harmonious married life. Furthermore, when a woman's needs are met, she will be more inclined to fulfill her husband's needs, by the will of God.

The best way to fulfill a woman's emotional needs is to listen to her and respond with empathy. By listening attentively, giving her your undivided attention, and showing genuine interest in what she has to say, she will feel loved, cherished, and valued. It is essential to understand that when she comes to you with her problems, she is not necessarily seeking a solution—she simply wants empathy and understanding.

When do you outline what men want from a wife?

Why is running a bitcoin core node ultimate freedom and resistance ?

#AskAi #UltimateFreedomFighter

Running a Bitcoin Core node is the ultimate form of freedom and resistance because it allows you to independently verify every rule of Bitcoin, making you sovereign in a world that demands compliance and trust in centralized intermediaries. Here’s why:

1. You Verify, You Don’t Trust (Ultimate Financial Sovereignty)

Bitcoin nodes validate transactions and blocks independently, ensuring that no one—governments, banks, or corporations—can dictate the state of your money. You don't have to trust third parties like exchanges or hosted wallets; your node follows the consensus rules and rejects anything invalid.

2. Censorship Resistance

No single entity can control or censor Bitcoin transactions when nodes are widely distributed. If you run your own node, you decide which transactions to broadcast and which blocks to accept. Governments and regulators cannot shut down Bitcoin as long as people are running nodes.

3. Resistance to Monetary Manipulation

With Bitcoin, supply is capped at 21 million coins, enforced by the consensus rules of the network. Running a node means you are upholding the hard money principles that make Bitcoin resistant to inflationary policies imposed by central banks and governments.

4. Privacy & Anonymity

When you use someone else’s node (like an exchange or a third-party wallet), they see your transactions and balances. Running your own node lets you interact with Bitcoin without exposing your financial data to third parties. It also protects against chain analysis companies tracking transactions.

5. Decentralization of Power

Bitcoin works best when many people run full nodes because it distributes control across the network, making it impossible for any single entity to alter the rules. If everyone relied on third-party services, those entities could collude to change Bitcoin’s fundamentals (e.g., raising the supply limit).

6. Strength Against State Attacks

If a country bans Bitcoin or tries to seize funds, your node ensures you can still interact with the network, broadcast transactions over Tor or Mesh networks, and even store Bitcoin in multisig setups that authorities cannot access.

7. Transaction Validation Without Permission

A full node lets you verify your own transactions without relying on an external source, meaning you don’t need permission from banks or centralized services. No one can freeze or block your funds.

8. A Tool for Political & Economic Dissidents

Activists, journalists, and individuals in authoritarian regimes use Bitcoin as a means of escaping financial oppression. Running a full node ensures they can transact without relying on centralized intermediaries that may comply with oppressive regimes.

9. Running a Lightning Node for Unstoppable Payments

A Bitcoin full node is even more powerful when combined with a Lightning node, allowing instant, near-free, private payments that work even in heavily restricted environments.

---

Conclusion: Bitcoin Nodes Uphold a Revolution

Running a Bitcoin Core node isn’t just about using Bitcoin. It’s about being part of a global resistance against financial surveillance, state control, and inflationary theft. Each node reinforces the network's integrity, censorship resistance, and decentralization—ensuring Bitcoin remains a tool of freedom.

Bitcoin is rules without rulers, and by running a node, you are one of the enforcers of those rules. Freedom isn’t given, it’s taken. Running a Bitcoin node is taking back your financial and digital sovereignty.

Interesting post. Thank you.

One of our Founders, #[0]​, went on a podcast called “2-Bit Idiots” to talk about our project!

Here’s the link if you’re interested in listening!

He did an incredible job talking about the project, the time preference, and the potential for other smaller networks forming around the world.

Share this with your golf friends! If you or them have any interest in joining the network!

Interesting project. I do have a set of clubs but haven't played in years.
