Can I get a zap, please?

I connected my bumi@getalby.com lightning address to the new phoenixd running on my computer at home.

NWC is magic! this is a game changer!

GN friends.

Build it.

Build what you want there to be in the world.

Let it consume and ruin you. Let them tell you not to get your hopes up. Let them tell you it’s not healthy to be obsessed with it.

Do it even thought it’s nearly impossible to succeed.

Sacrifice. Focus. Walk the edge. But don’t give up.

As of 4:00 today, I got THE news I worked for over the past 20 years.

Now, I get to live the rest of my life in a world I had a small part in creating.

I am in shock.

And I get to keep doing the work…

It was fucking worth it… 🥹

To be continued…

In studying for my lesson on gentleness, I listened to a lecture on how all violence stems from immaturity, brutishness, crudeness, and childishness. I never quite thought about that before, but it makes sense.

When emotionally immature parents strike their children, those children learn subconsciously that violence is both acceptable and necessary to prove one’s strength and authority. When these children grow into emotionally immature adults, they enforce control through perpetuating the cycle of violence.

Gentle parenting has sprung up to counter this idea, but I think at first, we didn’t really know how to do gentle parenting without being a bunch of pushovers 😅 now that we’ve continued to develop these skills and methods, we have become better at holding other people (including, but not limited to, our own kids) accountable without attempting to control them through brute force. Gentle parenting hinges around the idea of encountering a child’s immature, crude, and violent tendencies with empathy but also firm correction, role modeling, and training.

Gentleness is not softness. Meekness is not weakness. It’s not passivity. It’s not submission.

It’s knowing when to YIELD… knowing how to hold back your own strength and force… understanding how to be careful with others.

This applies both to the micro and the macro…

Wise words

Funny how the instant you realize what #bitcoin  really is, it becomes the most obvious thing in the world.

It’s a great feeling though it’s often followed by regret for not having put in the time to learn about it earlier.

All I can translate is beautiful. Is something else written that my human mind can’t read?

Pura Vida, plebs! This cycle is different!
