went to the weekly bazaar, a bit tired and not gonna lie: it's so much easier just click and order, but the cost of that convenience is that you don't really get to choose ( the fresher ones ), and neither knowing where the food comes from.
You really need to do the work to get the good stuff.
team Bitcoin is producing crafts, and that takes time and much work - sharing some sneak peeks.
Honestly, if you can work online, living somewhere with better weather and closer to nature brings so much joy: more peaceful, better quality of life, and great value for money - sounds like an easy math to me.
Okay, one of the downsides that I found is that most young are too busy hustling in big cities, so you might be mostly around elderly people, but that also means more skills to learn - good to stack those that are going extinct, even simple things like cooking, cleaning, or even making things with your own bare hand, because most people might be even relying on shitGPT to know how to fried eggs one day.
The more skills you have, the more free you are.
And you only commit to the things you truly enjoy and around the people you like instead of being a victim of your default setting - verifying everything is the way.
Solving problems is like exercise - the more you solve or have been through, the stronger you are, and the more you learn:)
Keep stacking skills, knowledge, relationships and Bitcoin, instead of useless things.
the course is not costing so much ( about 200k sats atm ), and that's the point - I guess many people are still not so familiar with LN, so might need to write more guides:) 👀
Someone paid my course over onchain today, and I usually send out a greeting mail after the payment, but I added one little ask there today - I wonder why you didn't choose LN? as it's much lower fee and faster; is there anything I should share more, like which LN wallets to use or maybe how to swap?
I think high chance that I might be one of the first BTC merchants that people engage with, it's nice to do more to help - more experiments = more learning = more sharing.
Learning opportunities can be created, and it's both sides learning. 👀
heading out for some sun:)
what if the evenings in winter is the better time for work? I guess frens in the photo know better! 🤔
Be around those who you admire.
Visited a friend yesterday, and we started eating from 4 pm to 11 pm ( yeah, welcome to Turkey! ), and then she taught me how to make stuffed grape leaves, one of my favorite dishes! and it took us more than two hours to make it, quite tiring but damn so delicious and satisfying.
I ate quite a lot of food when I was nomading around, but nothing beats homecooked meals, I'm dead serious!:)
I used to think women who are capable like men are cool, like building things and doing adventures - don't get me wrong, I still love to do these, but I'm not sure is it because I've been staying in Turkey a bit too long, now I really admire those who have magic hands in the kitchen or make the home spotlessly clean. 🪄
Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.
woke up - brewed tea & made breakfast - headed out for a little walk and sunbathing - weekly bazaar - cooking fun 👩🏽🍳
Nomad hack of today 🦅
Spending winter where people spend their summer, not only it's warmer, you also got all the nice summer houses to choose from, short term available and with such nice prices! and quiet:) But one of the downsides is that many shops are closed, but then if these shops close during the low season, it's better to avoid them right, going local way is the way.
And I think one simple hack in life is really doing the opposite of others if you want to be free and in peace; I'm not saying just do the opposite in everything, but take the time to think about what's actually better when you do the opposite.
For example, using myself as the guinea pig:
- Many people work during weekdays, I like to work during weekends and out during weekdays, which is a better experience and less crowded.
- Many people have a 9 to 5 job, but I work for myself, more responsibility but more meaningful; I don't want to offend anyone, but avoid selling your time is one of the best things you can do: salary is a drug.
- Many people keep complaining about their home country, I go where people treat me as a guest or even spoil me.
- People travel to stack photos, I explore around to stack experience, skills, knowledge, and connections; these resources could come in handy for any unexpected time - knowing where to go and how to get things from whom is such valuable information.
- Many people like to live in big cities, but I'm more than happy to live out of cities with better air, cleaner water, quieter and fresher food.
- Many people like to show off and buy fancy brands, I enjoy crafting my own with the best people I can find, not necessarily cheaper, but quality guaranteed and unique.
- Many women try so hard to get attention with tons of makeup or even plastic surgeries, I go natural and work on my brain - isn't it such an easy hack, and more sats. 🤓
But of course, nothing is perfect - I share these only to show that there are many possibilities, and it's really fun to explore what's possible out there.
Went to my winter spot, took me more than eight hours to get here - mixed with flight and car, but I guess that's why keeping all the tourists away:)
And time feels really slow here. 🐈
Not sure how many of you started to earn in Bitcoin, but it makes you happier - not just stacking Bitcoin itself, but the fact that people pay you with their precious sats, which means your work is being valued and appreciated!
Buying Bitcoin is good, but earning it changes your thinking - in the Fiat world, people would think about what to do to earn MORE and FASTER. But in Bitcoinlandia, you need to think about what to do to actually offer value to others and keep improving it, because a. reputation is expensive, b. everyone wants to stack those precious sats, but people would only spend on quality things.
I would recommend everyone start to try to earn Bitcoin from NOW on. Yes it's hard and still early, but *not impossible* - not only it's the best way to learn, but it also shows great POW from you, especially at a time when everyone is using shitGDP yet you are actually doing the work to learn and figure things out yourself:)
The force is strong with this one. 👀⚡️
And the "problem" with natural dyes is there aren't too many colors to choose from, but then I don't need so many colors:
blue - indigo
brown/black - walnut shell
purple - red cabbage leaves
These are the colors I love the most, so it's quite an easy problem to solve! My idea for all my clothing is a. natural fabric, b. traditional pattern - they are somehow really so eye-pleasing, I've been traveling around to collect inspirations.
c. natural dyes d. long-lasting
So simple, but there aren't many people making them? Oh, ofc thanks to the evil fiat money!
The art of sock knitting 🧦
Sharing my product testing 2.0, with natural dyes wool 👀 it's not knitted by me but by a really talented lady that I found in the black sea region, and I guess because it's so cold there, people's knitting skills are really advanced! Like wow, with really beautiful patterns and cool techniques.
