WHAT? 😂😂😂

"Hamas altered hostages' appearances before release – report"

"Despite nearly starving the hostages, Hamas used special techniques to make them look healthier and more energetic."

How can you actually print such nonsense

Building a brand is like trying to plant a tree while being distracted by a squirrel waving a shiny nut in front of your nose.

You want to put down roots, build something solid that grows and endures. But this nut - oh, it sparkles so beautifully. It practically screams: 'Get the likes, they're all that matters!'

So you grab it, chase every trend, do everything to quickly grab attention. But instead of a tree, you end up with a collection of loose leaves that blow away with the next gust of wind.

No shade.

No fruits.

No stability.

The mistake?

You forgot that likes should only be a byproduct - not the roots.

A strong brand grows from consistency, authenticity, and a clear vision. Trends are nice, but they're like seasonal fashion. Values, on the other hand, are the fabric of classics.

So: Plant the tree, ignore the squirrel - and watch how trust and loyalty grow organically. That's brand building as it should be.

What are currently the biggest challenges in building your brand?"

WATCHING HARD WORKING INDIVIDUALS GET REKT BY SHITCOINS IS BRUTAL. HAVE SPENT YEARS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE AVOID THAT FATE.

WATCHING THE US GOVT GET REKT BY SHITCOINS WOULD BE FUCKING HILARIOUS THOUGH.

I don’t recall? What is it exactly

In 2009, #Bitcoin entered the proving grounds and has clearly emerged victorious as the world's preeminent money in terms of store of value (SoV), medium of exchange (MoE), and unit of account (UoA) functions.

For those who have taken the time to impartially study it, Bitcoin is quite obviously Better Money for a Better World.

Bitcoiners are welcome to continue arguing with the fiat-brained masses and degenerate gamblers about these facts... but it is unnecessary and--often--unproductive.

Instead of such circular arguments, time may be better spent building better products and services--a better world, really--on the #Bitcoin network... while ignoring the remaining Luddite naysayers and complainers.

Bitcoin has already won... start living your life accordingly.

Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies.

A time comes in your #life when you finally get…when, in the midst of all your #fears and #insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…Enough!

#Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening.

You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to #change, or for #happiness, #safety and #security to magically appear over the next #horizon.

You realize that in the real world there aren’t always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you…and in the process a sense of #serenity is born of #acceptance.

You awaken to the #fact that you are not #perfect and that not everyone will always #love, #appreciate or #approve of who or what you are…and that’s OK.

They are entitled to their own views and opinions.

You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself…and in the process a sense of new found #confidence is born of self-approval.

Your stop #complaining and #blaming other people for the things they did to you – or didn’t do for you – and you #learn that the only thing you can really count on is the #unexpected.

You learn that people don’t always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and everything isn’t always about you.

So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself…and in the #process a sense of #safety and #security is born of #self-reliance.

You stop #judging and pointing fingers and you begin to #accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties…and in the process a sense of #peace and contentment is born of #forgiveness.

You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.

You learn the difference between #wanting and #needing and you begin to discard the #doctrines and #values you’ve outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with.

You learn that there is #power and #glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through #life merely as a “consumer” looking for you next fix.

You learn that #principles such as #honesty and #integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a #life.

You learn that you don’t know #everything, it’s not your job to save the world and that you can’t teach a pig to sing. You #learn the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about #love. You learn to look at #relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You #learn that alone does not mean #lonely.

You stop trying to #control people, situations and outcomes. You learn to distinguish between #guilt and #responsibility and the #importance of setting #boundaries and learning to say NO.

You also stop working so hard at putting your #feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.

You learn that your body really is your temple. You begin to care for it and treat it with #respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drinking more water, and take more time to #exercise.

You learn that being #tired fuels #doubt, #fear, and #uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just food fuels the #body, laughter fuels our #soul. So you take more time to laugh and to #play.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in #life what you deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling #prophecy.

You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.

More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve #success you need #direction, #discipline and #perseverance. You learn that no one can do it all alone, and that it’s OK to #risk asking for help.

You learn the only thing you must truly #fear is fear itself. You learn to step right into and through your #fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.

You learn to #fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending #doom.

You learn that life isn’t always #fair, you don’t always get what you think you #deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people…and you lean not to always take it personally.

You learn that nobody’s punishing you and everything isn’t always somebody’s #fault. It’s just life happening. You learn to #admit when you are #wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.

You lean that #negative #feelings such as #anger, #envy and #resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and #poison the #universe that surrounds you.

You learn to be #thankful and to take #comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.

Then, you begin to take #responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make #yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than you heart’s #desire.

You make it a point to keep #smiling, to keep #trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful #possibility.

You hang a wind chime outside your window so you can #listen to the wind.

Finally, with #courage in you #heart, you take a stand, you take a deep #breath, and you begin to design the #life you want to live as #best as you can.

Did a presentation yesterday with ego death team to over 80 funds, family offices, and high net worth individuals. All smart and curious. Just caught in the wrong frame of reference - like we all were at one point.

…And….Every time I do a presentation, talk or meeting (outside of #nostr ) it reinforces how unbelievably early we are on this journey.

One of the reasons, I was early and so intrigued with the internet, is that the smartest people I knew were moving their time to it. (Before it was captured by broken money)

The same thing playing out on the #bitcoin protocol with a massive added plus…..Not only the smartest/most curious people, but generally those with a high level of integrity and aligned values.

Feel so much gratitude to you all!

And good morning.
