I’m interested in reading the Bhagavad Gita. Apparently there are a bunch of different books when searching for this. The one below appears to have the most reviews.
Has anyone read the Gita, and if so can you share the link to the one you read?
I'm doing a little youtube algo clickbait experiment...
First video: full nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a conversation on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 with a positive, hopeful, optimistic, freedom tech-focused thumbnail and title, and smiling picture of Lyn.
TITLE: "Freedom Technology White Pill"
>> 3.3k views in two weeks
Second video: 5 minute clip of Lyn talking about the Fed/fiscal dominance. Aggressive thumbnail style with train of flaming dollars, Walter White poking out head, classic Lyn pfp.
TITLE: "NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN"

CONCLUSION: the YT algorithm favors short-form doomporn over long-form techno optimism.
QUESTION: is it the algorithm? or is it people who crave short-form financial doomporn over long-form techno optimism? and people who feed the algorithm with their behavior?
Human nature for some reason. People always stop to see the car wreck on the side of the highway.
My YouTube page is full of doomsday headlines from Real Estate crashes, stock market crashes to boat price crashes. It’s exhausting.
As Saylor once said, Bitcoin will have ripped to $1m/Bitcoin in a decade and there will be some talking head on the news talking about how it crashed to $900k and how we could eventually see $800k.
While that may be true, I bet if we asked the average person to solve a complex math problem without a calculator, most would have a hard time solving that by hand. They end up depending on the calculator and assume that it gives them the right answer. I’m wondering if we eventually do the same when we ask AGI questions?
It’s like speaking a 2nd language. “If you don’t use it you lose it”
If we get to a point where humans depend on AI for everything, following every piece of advice it provides because “it knows best”, causing us to eventually lose our own intelligence, who’s the actual robot in this situation?
Trying to name a new boat and incorporate my background in IT and Bitcoin. Feedback on these 4 names? Other suggestions welcome in comments!
1.) Pier-To-Pier
2.) Error 404
3.) Work Bytes
4.) Port not found
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m Is there a way to let my teen buy more than $400/mo in the CashApp?
1.) It made me have to take several shits a day.
2.) After a while, my body needed it and became an addiction.
3.) Buying coffee was expensive (I could make it at home but going out and buying coffee was more of a thing to do)
Don’t forget, stay humble and stack sats.
Has anyone watched or read "The Great Taking" yet by David Rogers Webb? He outlines a terrifying scenario where everyone's assets (stocks/bonds/cash) held at the banks will essentially be taken during this next crisis. What are the chances the governments allow this scenario to play out vs another Fed bailout? Fear porn or possible?

I feel like Paul Revere calling all my normie friends letting them know the institutions are coming because the Bitcoin ETF has been approved. 
Your private key can still be compromised on NOSTR if not secured properly.
I wonder if there could be something like Multisig for decentralized social media accounts. 2 of 3 required to post and sign, only 1 needed to login. nostr:note1685vw5rn6yfmh7zfc3jnzrcr3ngkdzfrk3c2ax2rkmjhha09fplqn3aml4
Not your keys, not your post.
I still have my kid go door-to-door asking neighbors to mow their lawn and shovel snow to earn money for things they want to buy. My kids will probably not have to work a day in their life when they get older, but I’m making sure they know what it means to work hard now (2 kids under 14). All about how you raise them.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
The number of people who are in the “I have nothing to hide” camp is frightening. They won’t care about any privacy issues like this unfortunately.
What are people using to keep your data and communications private. Here are some suggestions.
1.) Cloud storage: encrypt any data stored on the cloud with PGP. Anyone using NextCloud with E2EE?
2.) Email: Move away from public services like GMail to something like Proton. Encrypt using PGP when possible.
3.) Mobile phones: Enable Apple Advanced Data Protection for E2EE at a minimum. This is not enabled by default. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651
4.) Money: Encrypt your money using Bitcoin
5.) Messaging: If using Apple Advanced Data Protection, iMessage could be ok. Otherwise, using SimpleX or Signal for messaging.
6.) Web Browsing: Route all traffic over a VPN tunnel. Nord or Proton could be useful here. Combine this with using TOR when possible.
7.) Laptop: Encrypt your entire hard drive using something like FireVault on MacBooks.
None of these are perfect, but they should help keep ISPs, Cloud Providers or Cell Providers from watching your data.

Encrypt your data.
Encrypt your communications.
Encrypt your money.
