Came for the tech. Stayed for the gains.

🤔 I think (hope) I've already gone through my lowest. Thinking back, the only betrayal came from institutions and corporations. I keep my circle pretty tight.

Saw this Bitcoin Pez dispenser in the wild today. #bitcoin #candy

Great! Need to read it again with the song in my head.

Really close to pulling the plug on facebook. I've only been using Messengerfor the last couple years,and occasiknally Marketplace.

The hard things to give up are these:

-communication with my my wife. Her primary communication medium (even voice calls) is Facebook. But I will do it anyway. Her brother did, and that turned out ok, and they talk daily.

-motorcycle riding group. They use a FB chat to coordinate pretty much everything. Which is a horrible practice, but maybe me not being on FB will get them to find other solutions. Simplex? Signal? They are not technical at all, for the most part. Not sure they would even install another app. I don't want to install another app either.

- Marketplace. Where I am, there is a lot that happens here. I'm looking for a truck. Even the 1/2 beef I just bought was mostly my wife, communicating over FB. I chose a rancher that wasn't really using marketplace, but still is handling all his orders over a facebook page. I'll probably just delegate all marketplace activity to my wife.

So how this is looking, I'm probably not getting a truck until mid to late October. I figure I need Marketplace to at least view recommendations my wife finds (she insists on being the finder of all cars, although I'd rather she stay out of it). FB might come in handy during my motorcycle trip in early/mid October. This also gives me a chance to warn my MC guys that I'm going dark. Looks like I may be out of Meta (never really had an insta or threads or anything, although who knows how much of my profile is shared to those) by the end of October.

That will leave me with nostr, and a fairly inactive presence on LinkedIn, which is still needed I think. I may be switching fiat mines in the next months, years, whatever, and that has been my best resource to find a new fiat mine.

Cheers fuckers - like me or not, I'm fucking here, even if I'm nit, until I'm gone!

Similar situation here. I have mostly avoided FB for quite a while. I get some benefit from a few groups related to hobbies and a little news about local events.

My wife communicates with some of her family members mainly through messenger but I was able to avoid getting into that habit.

Anyone know?

Apparently people outside of the US that don't have access to guns commit suicide by other means? You can play with the statistics any way you want. His point is obviously that anti gun people only want the government to have them

Happy July 1 #Nostriches, it's almost time to turn #musiccity into #bitcoincity 🧡 And, I don't know... maybe we should kick this whole thing off with a song?

May I present to you....

ALCHEMY (The 2024 Bitcoin Song) #BITCOIN

Written by a secret fellowship of global decentralized music fans for the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, TN., ten submissions were chosen to lyrically contribute to this new song entirely dedicated to YOU 💜 The developers, zappers, boosters and music fans from around the world. 🌎

“Thank you to this community, for showing us (the writers, singers, performers, and producers) that there is hope for a future that allows us to make a living off of the art we create.

Something’s changing and we know you feel it too ✨⚡️

Written by nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy @Emily Ronna nostr:npub1vpdlxsc8dr4m580d43vj4ka0e6wmstzzxhvcermllhh5m9ytnhdq6wnaem and few of our secret friends from around the world. We decided in the end to let them out themselves, but I assure you, this song would not be what it is without every single submission. We hope you love this as much as we do! And that some of the songwriters take credit where credit is due.

SEE YOU IN NASHVILLE SOON BABES 😍

Outing myself as a secret friend. It is very cool to have involvement in this!

I'm heading out soon for a ride. Also trying to beat the rain. The forecast is calling for strong storms with possible tornadoes.

GM ☕. Let's make it a good day.
