My husband is flying back to the U.S. today after having been stuck in Egypt managing a big construction project for a while.

He hates long flights, so to amp himself up he randomly decided to stop in Dublin for two days. Just because he hadn’t been there before.

So he just went there by himself for no particular reason, stayed in a literal castle hotel, ate steak, drank beer, spent hours walking around seeing all sorts of delightful churches and parks and homes, and then left.

Enjoy and don’t forget to get gelato (Italian ice cream) 🍦

Since I’m not going to X and it’s usually my main source of news, anyone up here got news from what’s going on in politics, money, or Bitcoin that I may not have heard?

I’ll zap 210 sats for each thing I hadn’t heard that I find interesting or good to know. 👍🏻

Release the fucking Epstein list you God damned pedos

-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Harrison Ford's enduring career, which continues into his 80s with roles like Indiana Jones in *Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny* (2023) and his portrayal in *Shrinking* (2024), serves as a major inspiration for Tom Cruise.

Ford, who has maintained his active presence in action roles, has expressed that staying engaged in work prevents him from feeling "utterly useless," highlighting the importance of human connection and creative collaboration.

His dedication to remaining relevant in the industry, even at an advanced age, sets a precedent for actors like Cruise, who at 61 has expressed a desire to follow Ford's example.

Cruise has openly stated that he hopes to continue making *Mission: Impossible* films well into his 80s, mirroring Ford's commitment to performing physically demanding roles.

This admiration is mutual, with Ford praising Cruise's approach to stunts and physicality, creating a dynamic relationship of shared professional values and a drive to push boundaries.

Both actors' careers exemplify a commitment to staying active in the film industry, offering a blueprint for longevity in action cinema.

Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties. In other words, Bitcoin automates the functions of a modern central bank and makes them predictable and virtually immutable by programming them into code decentralized among thousands of network members, none of whom can alter the code without the consent of the rest.

Let’s dive into why I’m so confident about Nostr.

I’m certain Nostr will take off, and that belief stems from my trust in myself. I’ve got a strong sense of intuition and feel the vibe—and I don’t even entertain doubts about Nostr’s success; it’s just a question of timing. I’ve got what I call BNE—Big Nostr Energy. BNE isn’t about arrogance; it’s a quiet assurance that I don’t waste time in places that don’t feel right. It’s confidence. You’re just one of the first to show up to the next big thing. Trust your gut—this is the place to be.

Next year, if all goes to plan, then I intend to take a world trip, visiting the home towns of any nostriches that I’ve interacted with and sharing food and drink in real life with them if they are willing.
