Been buying bitcoin since 2018. I particularly like http://river.com. The Bitcoin White Paper http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf Christ is Lord.

I am on a sabbatical atm. A week from Monday it will end. At that time, I may quit my job or wait another year. We shall see what happens.

I have a very good job where I run a $100m busines unit, but I have other interests now.

Just been aware that light has a source. And He prefers to be called Father than a conciousness.

Welcome to the States, if that's what you mean. Come for the freedom and stay for the sats.

Man, he is an old soul. In the 70s when I was sick at home, I would read Tom Sawyer and my Ranger Rick magazines, while watching the Price is Right and Andy Griffith show.

My grandmother made me play rummy, but that was the price I paid for getting to eat ice cream for breakfast on Saturday mornings at her house.

I won't go that far, but even elephants can tell that there is a connection. They are intelligent, sacred beasts that God put here to remind us that we are small and must be humble.

That's the tension he is dealing with: donors vs business partners. There is more money in business partners for his family, but there's the huge Jewish connection through his son-in-law. I honestly don't know what to think about Trump. Since he went all in on the clot shots, I haven’t trusted him. I'm intrigued by what he's doing right now, but he is certainly not a hero.

There can be beauty in the LLMs. They certainly are impressive systems, but AI is a shadow of reality just as VR is. Both will always be poor substitutes for our real connection to God that we seem so happy to discard.

Bitcoin is beautiful because it does something we've never seen before, that is it gives us a way to save our our time and efforts. Even better than that, it amplifies our work by making it more valuable over time. This, in my view, is what God meant when he gave us the cultural mandate. Bitcoin is how our work in subduing the earth becomes greater over time. Each cycle of work, saving, and amplification and allows to do even more good as our spending power grows.

I know people feel it's culty to speak of bitcoin in transcendental terms, but life is like that.l, and our souls appreciate it.

Beauty is objective. It speaks to our soul by reflecting the eternal forms (or the perfect in God's mind). When a person, creature, vista or object, captures a ln approximation of one of those perfect forms, our brains light up in an electrical jubilation.

While it may communicate something to us, modern art contains none of these forms, and while we may find it compelling, it appeals to our more basic inclinations (chaos, rebellion, muddled thinking).

Our souls crave order found in truly beautiful things, but our souls will also accept the crass. Think of it like junk food for the soul that tastes good but offers no nourishment.

If there's nothing beautiful around you, start with prayer. It is the most beautiful form of communication as it was what God commanded us to do and modeled for us in the Sermon on the Mount.

But seriously, there are some good people over there.

Are there Europeans on Nostr?

I think Billy Graham said it was the Holy Spirit.
