If you’re a man who’s struggling with low self esteem let me tell you going to therapy isn’t going to help.

The only way to fix it is to do things worthy of esteem.

We aren’t women.

Talking about our problems isn’t the solution.

Go do things in the world.

You will feel better about yourself.

What a chart 🤯

I wish more people from the old world (like me) know about all this. It's the most genious way to give equal right and access to everyone ❤️

BEING ON #nostr DAY 3

Still learning about this world that felt so foreign - like I am about to have open contact with an alien.

What I experienced here blew me away in a most positive sense! Being a dinosour, using well known social medias and constantly being invisible, censored, shadowbanned I feel like I found my place.

I discovered when I simply share my ideas, visions, and perceptions on Nostr, I am practically adding to the collective voice and values of the community. Every post each of us make reflects a unique perspective, and contary to old paradigm social media, here not only you can speak freely and be who you are, but people tip you if they resonate with what you shared! This is mind-blowing to me! I still cannot believe you can practically be awarded for just being you.

The content and entire experience is not determined by algorith, it's driven and promoted by users. We all get to decide what ideas, visions and thoughts we want to promote. I am eager to see how users will utilize this incredible opportunity. And...a dinosour like me for the first time experiences the world of coins ans how easy and smooth this exchange can go. I think I am in love in #nostr 😀

I genuinely hoped Bitcoin was going to be the alternative system for a developing world. Things have taken a big turn and I’m now sharing a bitcoin bedsit with my worst enemies and they want all my sats. I’m weathering this part to hopefully get to the other side of this paradigm shift intact and free. Onwards 🤷‍♂️

I’m really not looking forward to the “greedy crypto bro” narratives that will continue rolling out over the next several years. Sure, some Bitcoiners will become fabulously wealthy (and already have) and may spend their Bitcoin on 100 Lambos.

But for me, and many of us, it’s more simple. The system screwed us and generations in a way that we’re simply trying to have a better savings to pay for our overpriced college degrees, afford a house, and afford a comfortable life and support our family. Period! Bitcoin is helping me do that.

Should even more wealth and purchasing power occur, I look forward to being able to give back, as far as time and resources, as possible to my community and those in need.

And for many who may be low and working class in America, just finding whatever little savings you have to chip into owning Bitcoin. Over time it will give them the power to say No. No to staying in abusive households/relationships, no to the abusive landlord or work situation, no to a job you hate, no to government support that is tedious and cumbersome and not all that helpful anyway, and so much more. It also gives you the power to say Yes to investing your time and energy in things you want, and what brings you joy in this oh so short time we have on this earth.

What wallet is this?

Hear me out.

Credit is not a bad thing. It enables the monetary system to expand and contract when necessary. This was the case in Canada where the private banking system could issue notes that were redeemed at par at the competing banks. This was especially important during harvest season (August-September) when an increase in currency was required to facilitate transactions of buying/selling grain.

If any of you have read George Selgin’s or Larry White’s work on private banking you realize how effective it was. In the US, it was a disaster because private banking was over-regulated to begin with, forcing state banks to bank only within their state, while in Canada, branch banking was allowed across the country. So if you were a grain farmer in Regina and someone paid you in Bank of Montreal dollars, you could deposit the full amount into your Bank of Nova Scotia dollar account at your local branch.

Not to say the system was perfect, but it was pretty damn good, until someone got the bright idea that we needed a central bank like the US, most likely to help the government borrow and fund large projects (wars).

How does this relate to below? We can return to the banking yesterdays of yore, but instead of paper credit notes (cash) we can use electronic credit notes (ecash). By virtue of their instant redeemability it keeps everyone honest and a system that keeps its equilibrium. If you want the theory, read Larry White’s book on private banking, which I did, and then applied the theory to what I am currently building, #nostr #safebox. nostr:note1z0lphpeqlkk0uwmmlyrpu35z6urj70xcvs3q2v0hmzme03ru85hsltvuxa

One Nation State has to be buying #Bitcoin now! I don’t think it’s one of the known ones, maybe one out of the UAE?
