figuring it all out I appreciate your humor, insight, and your post whether or not I agree

Move SCs...giving me a lot to look thru and learn about. Thank you.

Just a basic question is, my understanding was that Bitcoin was designed to be non turing complete in order to limit the error possibilities. So this Move SC is quite potentially going to seriously mess up at some point. At which point the parties involved will just have to settle legally (refund accidental transmission of funds etc). So it's kinda back to just having a bank running a procedure with plenty of legal guarantees and insurance etc.

.... Maybe these are obvious questions. I'm going to have to read more about this

I thought smart contracts were a nothing burger. ? As many times we find bugs in database procedures, I can't imagine having them just ossified in block somewhere

yeah, those JWs do tend to hang out in shady places, maybe they do kinda ward off the shadies, i mean, really, they always hang out in shady places at the edges of mostly metro stations in eastern europe

i don't understand them at all, but even though i was raised with SDA and went to many services i'm now finally at a point where i'm like, integrating all of it, ok, SDA is just mainly some kind of jew scam to introduce cornflakes and circumcision and veganism mainly (really, that's really what it was)

the catholics are closer to the source for my money... i'm getting quite excited about learning the procedure of the mass next sunday

all the other shit, man, i been through the whole lot, every kind of new age, creepy cult real estate investment, shitcoin, fucking bitcoin (yes bitcoin) and what else... chaos magic, laveyan satanism, Robert Anton Wilson et al and their variants of gnosticism

i understand now how the catholic formula worked so well

but it's not going to stop me from understanding the real underlying message below all of the stories, the new age, the magick, the traditional myths, all of it, i'm going to make sufficient sense of it to know how i'm going to get through this next 50 years or so

from here, first step is get mobile, because the best location may not be what the models said yesterday, new models may point in a different direction, and almost all of the places it points at have coastlines, and that means being on a boat gets you there

You would be a good one to ask this question:

What do you think of the Bob Proctor abundance meditation

https://youtu.be/RKOlsS4QCRU

I'm a bit scared of it tbh. But maybe it's entirely harmless.

Yeah, you and another friend is in my ear that I have to do something otherwise ill lose my skills before I know it.

I'm still working til April and he's already ragging on me to apply .

I've succeeded in burning fingers , spilling coffee while just cooking sweet potato. It's going downhill fast

The time it takes to forget how to cook(basic multitasking. Not burning fingers or dropping stuff while trying to turn them over, splashing hot oil, etc)

Times

1/(length of time not cooking )^2)

I'm pretty sure that cooking skills deteriorate with an inverse square time factor.

Google mentioned Episcopal. I attended the Episcopal church a couple times in the past year and liked it a lot. It's more structured and no crazy music and informal stuff. The priest had some interesting readings that landed in my soul.

Then the congregant made some comment about organizing political stuff in the run up to November elections. She had a beautiful voice but I really didn't want to hear even vaguely about politics in church.

I just met the Mormon missionaries in the town where I am. Some smart blond kids from Idaho asking if they can come around and talk about Jesus and the book of Mormon.

All the different churches are like Bitcoin mining/nodes. It keeps the whole network honest even when some fork off. Church of Christ sounds like a good concept.

I'm not too familiar with JW other than it seems super Ponzi and hard to escape from once within.

As many dark street corners as they stand on, I kinda wonder if it was a secret tactic of businessmen to have free street policing.

Oh sorry, Google just says "Christian"

I read somewhere that Peter Thiel was Catholic as well

What would be the elements to make it magical there? I suppose God is everywhere. It looks like a beautiful place. Is it missing friendly people and socialness?

the budget. Its probably 50 % cheaper here than Texas. So I should be able to live for less than Texas rent.

I just have to do remote employment. I was also thinking about starting a consulting business incorporated here since it only cost 2000$ to setup and then I could just work for similar contracts that I was doing. Or maybe teach some young people some SQL lessons since many want to earn more money. That would be not earn money tho.

This morning I was thinking I should just start a business about 3 I terest areas : "BTC SQL NOSTR". Horrible name . The idea would be if im worried about stuff not working in the future to build out alternative. Or at least to research alternative solutions and figure out how to implement them.

Like, how will airlines fly in deglobalized world, etc.

I'm quite in love with the place. Lots of leaves and trees and a bat that flies in and out at night to take out a mosquito or two that probably has my blood inside. I feel like a host organism and all these critters live around me. i should probably sweep out the spiders and crickets. There are some big ones.

This is at 30 minute walk. View of the Pacific.

So in the end I just took her satoshis and they are happily sitting in my wallet. The Bitcoin price is roughly the same as when I gave them to her on March 1, so no loss for her. And the workman is hammering something together for the new apartment for cash that I just took from the ATM.

I could have paid him an extra 5% if he took Bitcoin to avoid fees and a walk to atm.

I think the workman who doesn't take Bitcoin was the whole first principles root problem to solve.

--Not some complicated loyalty program that tokenizes the promise of future stays at a nice hotel in a coffee patch under a volcano in order to help her build one more treehouse room.

But its fun to imagine her running a security Ponzi scheme relay (backed by zapable lightning bitcoin) where NostrVerse characters check-in for fungi eatable stays

vouchers are the least fiat token there is

there is a service

they don't qualify as securities by the owsley test or whatever it is

(lol, owsley is LSD)

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/howey-test.asp

If the asset is an "investment of money in a common enterprise, with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others" it is considered a security. It is then subject to disclosure and registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

so, no, these aren't securities, they are a kind of IOU from the business, which means they are a bill of exchange, and thus a contract offer by the business proprietor, that you accept by paying for them

So I think it's prob just better to take the simple exchange for satoshis instead of seeing if she wants to sell me future nights at -50% off.

which i think is a good deal for her since she's never sold out, and I'm betting that Bitcoin will rally quite a bit more than 50%.

I just like to make things complicated. she has rooms to sell but debts to pay now.

I agree about the casino stuff and the tokens taking rent in our heads and not having any value.

But then I started thinking about lots in life. And people being afraid to try to gamble with their skills/potential.

It's all sort of a gamble right? Perhaps guided by wisdom.

And then businesses themselves are a gamble. And investing is a gamble.

How about "Gambling with a vision" is something I could get on board with.
