Beautiful sight! Why does it have to be about punishment?

I don’t like immediately being met with a subscription before I even try the app. What happened to hitting you with it when the free trial period was near ending or over.

I don’t like that nowhere on this page do they mention who these 2nd and 3rd generation tatami craftsmen are.

Give them their recognition.

Sometimes, I get in my head about it, wishing I would’ve learned about it much earlier and been smart enough to invest in it. Then, I go down this rabbit hole of thinking that I’ll put everything I have rn towards bitcoin and just DCA in. But then, I remember the experience I’ll miss out on if I do that, Japan. I’m here and want to make the most of it by not holding back from any experiences. I saved up all last year and sold all my stocks for this trip. I try to not get roped back into this idea of I need to put money in for later, and live in the now for once. It’s hard to keep the conviction of the decision I made to enjoy this year, especially when I love to learn more about btc. Every time, I come across some really cool thing in this environment it brings me back to this same predicament. I just wish there was a way I could engage in the community and put myself in a good position for down the line while also really taking this time for me.

How do those of us who didn’t get into bitcoin at a time where it was easy to accumulate whole units of btc cope with it?

I love this! It describes how I feel when I start a new hobby. I’m someone who loves to live in my dreams, so when I actually try a hobby the first time, it never looks how I dream it to be. Thankfully the dreams themselves are enough motivation sometimes to push me through the difficult portion.

-THE ISLAND LIFE-

Gunkanjima Island - Nagasaki, Japan .

Once the most densely populated place in the world, this island is now a ghost town.

FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD have a history as odd, or as poignant as Gunkanjima’s.

The tiny, fortress-like island lies just off the coast of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, covered in tightly packed buildings, and entirely abandoned - a ghost town that has been completely uninhabited for more than forty years. In the early 1900s, Gunkanjima was developed by the Mitsubishi Corporation, which believed - correctly - that the island was sitting on a rich submarine coal deposit.

For almost the next hundred years, the mine grew deeper and longer, stretching out under the seabed to harvest the coal that was powering Japan’s industrial expansion.

By 1941, the island, less than one square kilometer in area, was producing 400,000 tonnes of coal per year.

And many of those working slavishly in the undersea mine were forced laborers from Korea.

Even more remarkable than the mine was the city that had grown up around it.

To accommodate the miners, ten-story apartment complexes were built up on the tiny rock - a high-rise maze linked together by courtyards, corridors, and stairs. There were schools, restaurants, and gaming houses, all encircled by the protective seawall.

The island became known as “Midori nashi Shima,” the island without green.

Amazingly, by the mid-1950s, it housed almost six thousand people, giving it the highest population density the world has ever known. And then the coal ran out.

Mitsubishi closed the mine, everyone left, and this island city was abandoned, left to revert back to nature.

The apartments began to crumble, and for the first time, in the barren courtyards, green things started to grow. Broken glass and old newspapers blew over the streets. The sea breeze whistled through the windows.

Now, fifty years later, the island is exactly as it was just after Mitsubishi left.

A ghost town in the middle of the sea.

This is really cool info. Never knew about this. I wonder if you’re able to go an explore the place

It hasn’t changed because it’s such a strong system. I don’t necessarily see it changing either. Wealth and power go hand in hand, and they don’t typically shift in terms of who has it. As long as we have a society that wants to pool wealth, this will always be a concern. Not to say we should give away all our wealth, but I think it’s important to ask ourselves how do we circulate wealth or create shared wealth experiences.

Over 4th of July, I went to a friend’s house whose dad does a huge firework demonstration for the whole neighborhood on his own dime. Neighbors pulled up with lawn chairs, food, and family. I hope we move towards where we’re able to share our wealth with others a similar fashion more regularly. Therefore, we can all have a fulfilling life worth living.

Thank you for the good read!

I have no coding experience nor do I run a relay, but I read this all the way through. You made it really simple to follow, and the logic behind it is easy to understand. I bookmarked this in case I ever decide to run a relay, but I imagine it’d be a difficult task to pick up.

This is a great series!
