GM nostriches 🌅🤙

Here are a few shots from one of my favorite places on earth. It felt good to unplug for a couple of days… I missed you lot, though 🫂

#nature #photostr #grownostr

I love the process of digging and finding interesting people on #nostr. Everyday I set my goal to follow three new profiles. I love letting my curiosity guide me towards what I find interesting. It’s a feeling I’m rediscovering. One that I haven’t felt on the internet in a long, long time.

Curation on my own terms.

Keep it interesting #nostr 💜

I knew all this but never put it altogether until I read the below.

#fuckthegovernment

the FBI calls crypto money so they can arrest you for money laundering

the IRS calls it property so they can tax you on capital gains

the SEC calls it a security so they can sue every exchange

the CFTC calls it a commodity so you can’t use it as a currency

My current health plan is:

-Eat real nutrient dense foods.

-Intermittent fast for 12–16 hours per day. Vibes based. And sometimes go multi-day.

-Go for long walks or bike rides in the sun daily. Touch grass and do stuff. Often you can combine this with business meetings.

-Sprint a couple times per week.

-Do cold plunges a couple times per week. Seriously, this seems easy to skip and it’s hard. But if you want to triple dopamine levels for the working day without later downsides, putting yourself in freezing water is the thing.

-Do some squats and pushups. And then deadlift your own body weight for several reps.

-Even then you’ll potentially fail. This isn’t one of those meme posts. I used to be utterly ripped in my competitive martial arts days in my late teens until my mid twenties. But then I got distracted, mainly due to a broken leg and lack of direction. Over the past several Covid years, I’ve weakened, and had trouble hiking mountains. I still have visible abs but they feel fake now. But I focus on a couple things amid my crazy work, which I have ingrained now. The first is intermittent fasting. It literally fixes all my other errors as a baseline. I can fuck up for a year and not gain weight because I only eat in 6 or 8 hour windows. Or even 10 hours. The rest of the time trains the body to burn fat. Next is I do a reasonable baseline of pushups, squats, and sprints per week. Nobody can make me choose to. It’s just my baseline. Last is I do a lot of squats and bicycling to keep my leg muscles interested, which have been mediocre. So if a new martial arts leader has a plan, I’m happy to listen.

Lots of debate about the Saylor / Saifedean conversation

I thought it was really interesting

No one really knows what credit will look like in a Bitcoin Standard

They both make good points

I tend to think that (young, less capitalized, etc) people will of course still borrow to buy a car or or a home, to Michael's point

But I also agree with some of Saifdean's points about the inevitable decline in value of government debt

People seemed to hyperlock onto a short clip of it on X and spit takes instead of listening to the whole thing which is unfortunate

There's way too much 100% agreement in this space so a 2-hour animated conversation with two people who do share a lot in common but really disagree strongly on some stuff and aren't afraid to push back is very refreshing

I’ve been hodling for 10 years.

I’ve been married for 9 years.

I’ve been a father for 6 years.

And I can confidently say that the best things in life, the only things truly worth having… take a lot of time to acquire.

There’s no way around it, you’re going to have to spend significant time and energy on everything worthwhile in life.

GOOD MORNING. RISK FREE YIELD DOES NOT EXIST. STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS. 🫡

RFK wrote a letter to the editor in the economist today.

Second time in less than a year severely spraining an ankle while, on vacation, carrying two suitcases walking down a flight of stairs. First with the right ankle, and now the left. I should stop doing that. Lifelong issue of mine but it’s gotten worse as I get older.

Cardio excercise (running/jogging) is good for cardiovascular health as it improves the efficiency of our hearts pumping mechanism, but resistance training (eg lifting weights or even simple body weight exercises) is just as , if not more important for our metabolic health (even if you’re not a gym bro!). Dysfunctional energy metabolism is at the root cause of many of our modern day chronic diseases and it usually manifests as insulin resistance (ie our bodies ability to metabolise sugar is impaired). Progressive resistance training with adequate dietary protein intake, stimulates lean muscle mass growth, which not only has functional /mobility/aesthetic and other health benefits; but it also increases our bodies capacity to metabolise and balance our energy system. Imagine our lean muscle mass to be like a Bitcoin miners ability to absorb excess energy ( ie flaring otherwise wasted energy to mine Bitcoin vs utilising any excess calories to fuel our muscles). Just like increased Bitcoin miners in a grid can act as a reservoir of energy demand to help balance and make our energy grids more robust , increasing lean body mass will act as a reservoir of energy demand in our bodies and make our metabolic system more robust - Even when we are at rest! (ie our resting metabolic rate increases). And just like the more Bitcoin miners , the more mining wealth! The more lean muscle mass, the more metabolic health!

Good morning

We do live in a simulation (of sorts) that we each create (whether consciously or subconsciously) through our thoughts, words and actions.

Fortunate to be playing/building it with you.

wait, wait, i thought u'r a doc.?

Good morning.

If you’re not a dev, or widely-followed voice, or you haven’t been through enough cycles to be a Bitcoin philanthropist yet, but you still want to contribute to Nostr and be a positive force for its growth…

Show up. Post, engage.

Zap and repost the bangers.

Be a part of this.

Everyone can add to this protocol’s development, whether that’s technical, social, financial, or influential. We’re fucking doing it.

Onward 🫡
