I love Jesus, my husband, and our newborn son. Bitcoin is a monetary story of truth. Admin for our "English Tutoring for sats" business. My husband is the tutor. Author of: How to Prepare Yourself for Marriage - 10 000 sats Novels: The Blizzard - 10 000 sats Snökaos(Swedish Blizzard) - 10 000 sats The Prophetic Detective: Kidnapped -10 000 sats ebooks for sats are available for purchase through Nostr DM, or fiat at FikaTimeBooks.com in Kindle, Audible, paperback, and hardback.

All I know is that she's some media lady who interviews Michael Saylor, and she knew nothing about bitcoin, so he countered it, "It's going up forever, Laura", but I don't actually now who she is more specifically.... I don't really pay attention to TV media 😅

Just like how worth bitcoin, "It's going up forever, Laura", it seems like we have a similar uncommon upward trend when it comes to bitcoiners and birth rates. 😎

Maybe not a full half, but probably less. I mean, countries where a bunch of people have fled from the people might be counted twice. How do they even register the exact amount of people in hard to get to tribes in Africa etc.?

Not to mention all the social security scams where people have died but still look to be alive?

I'm really glad that Amazon has added a virtual voice to create audible books with.

I just finished going through chapter 2 of our new book, and realized I had used father instead of husband in one place 😅😬 oops. Glad I caught that, and now all the manuscripts are updated 😅🤣

Only 10 more chapters to listen through and edit, and the book will be done!!!!

Then I just need to make the paperback and Hardback covers and we can start selling "How to prepare yourself for marriage" in all formats 🤗

I'm so excited!!!

Looks tiny, so possible none... unless you have something super efficient, or a battery where you collect the sun energy all day and then run the miner for a little bit each day towards the end of the day 🤔

The miners we've looked at take at least 800w and that panel looks like maybe an 80w or smaller?

If you've found a miner that can run on that, please tell me which one cause we'd love to get one 🤗

When I was a teen, one of my friends started saying, "tired is just the body's way of telling you that there is too much blood in the caffeine stream/system!" 🤣

I hope you didn't bring your bitcoin 😬🤣

"Never sell your bitcoin" except when it's all you have and others don't want it yet.

As my kids were growing older I saw kids younger and younger get phones with no parental oversight. I had a genuine fear, as a person in tech, about how handheld smart tech could do to our children.

My kids are 16 and 18. We never babysat them with phones. For TV we had all Pixar movies, and any calm british kid shows that you’d never find on hyperactive tv like Nickelodeon. We let them be bored, though. Not a lot of tv and stuff. There’s health in the quiet moments. You learn how the world works by watching it.

We’ve always had a shared household laptop for minecraft and whatnot. Taught them what code is with the coding games and arduino stuff for kids. When we started doing trips, I wanted to see the world through their eyes by the photos they took and to be able to reach them in emergencies. So, I got them iPhones.

At that point they were 10 and 12. I set them up in full lockdown. On an iCloud account that I controlled, Screen Time locking out installs and everything. Only things on the phone were useful stuff. Phone, Text, Camera, FindMy. Raw usefulness and zero entertainment or connectivity.

I communicated that other kids were getting fed shit by these apps, and that the apps were intelligently designed to wire their brains wrong. I asked them to trust me and that sometimes it would suck because other kids would have apps and conversations that they wouldn’t get to be part of, but the reason is for long term benefit.

I told them they’ll have a long life of using technology. First we learn how to use the world, have real life friends, know ourselves and know where technology fits best for us. Then we can put the tech we choose in our pockets where we can keep tabs on the habits that it wants to give us.

In the quiet times they never reached for their phones. They never felt like they needed their phone with them unless we were on the go and would need to communicate for some reason.

The unlock PIN on both of their phones was the same. Everyone in the house knew them. I told them, “never text anything that you don’t want others to find out or to read back to you when you’re in trouble”. Hopefully this helps keep them out of court in the future. Texted words can be the worst kind of boomerangs.

At age17, I left Screen Time on for measurement and joint review to help teach self management, but I let apps be added that didn’t appear to be actual security threats and didn’t have a legitimate reason for veto. At 18, the phone is his, the passwords are his and he does what he wants.

I can vouch that this has worked as far as I can tell. These two kids are very well adjusted, have real relationships, have comfort in talking with people in person, and understand that we should use tech, not the other way around. I just followed my gut. Fingers crossed that it laid a good foundation.

I’m excited to see dumb phones hanging on and coming back. Cheers to exploring for the right approach early. Hope my path traveled lends some insight to a fellow father.

Our son doesn't have any kind of phone or technology yet... but he's also still in my belly so that might change once he gets older... 😅🤣

I grew up with a dad who develops electronics, and my brother got his first PC when he turned 9, I was 7. I kept hanging out with friends, and he ended up staying with him computer.

He did learn English from it, but with a Swedish accent. At 12 I'd lost all of my friends by them moving away and such, so I spent my time in front of the TV where English clicked for me, so I got an American accent 😎

I didn't get a phone until I was 14, and probably only because my mom needed a new one and got a deal on two. My brother didn't have one for a few more years since he had no friends.

It was a different time back in the early 2000s. Now I see 5 year olds with their own smartphones 😯

When I was 20, I heard that you can only accept as much love from others as you love yourself. By the end of the year where some people in my group I didn't know super well had called me awesome from the start, it hit me like a ton of bricks, as I grew in self love. I had been unable to accept their honest comments, thinking it was platitudes, but at that point I realized that they'd been 100% honest about their encouragement, they actually did think I was awesome!!! 🤯😭🤗

So, it's fine if you can't get it yet, but soon, as you keep learning to love yourself, you'll be able to recieve it!😎

"Stepping on a rock once can be ignored, but a stone in your shoe needs attending."

Me talking to my husband about how important I've realized it is to clean up even small messes between us quickly, unlike someone I met ones and will never meet again, as those are a lot easier to ignore and just let go of on my own.

I got ice cream at -30c. But ice in my drinks seemed mute.

And I grew up in a coffe hyped country yet it didn't take, so I doubt America will win me over on that front.

Well, unless people start giving me free peppermint mochas... that's the only coffee associated drink I've been able to finish 😅🤣

My entire dating season with my husband was through Facebook messenger. 😅 Then we got married, got into bitcoin, got into Nostr, but Nostr DMs aren't that great yet.

We still use messenger 😅

Do you have a better alternative? I've gotten into a lot of things because the people around me whom I liked used them, so i got familiarized with it before I started using it myself.

She may not be a lost cause yet 🤔

I'm becoming more and more American.

I now eat peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches, and I even order ice in my waters.... light ice, but still 😬🤣🤣🤣

Just remembered that one time I woke up to a chipmunk launching itself off of my foot... yeah, that happend 😬🤣

Working on the book cover for "How to prepare yourself for marriage". 🤗

I wonder if they'll upgrade to the 158k gang 🤔

Got a voicemail from "Amazon" today.

I haven't bought anything on Amazon for years, and they do not have my number.

I'm glad I'm smart enough to not get conned by this obvious scam. 🙄

Hubby put the introduction of our upcoming book into Grok and told him to rewrite it unhinged and sarcastic and using cursing, (though it's a Christian based book) it was hilarious, and now I'm very tempted to also release an unhinged version 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, since every person is different and what different things out of life, they'd also be looking for their marriage material in different places.

Once we know who we are and what we want, it's a lot easier to figure out where our kind of personight be hanging out.

So, not really, although I believe my husband gave some tips from his dating season, though they may not be relevant anymore.

It will set the reader up for knowing what to look for in order to get what they actually want, and how to spot the people who are more likely to be a great fit for them.

It does include how to ask someone out in a way that will be more likely to succeed.

What, people go back to X?! 😬

No thanks, I'll be staying here on Nostr! I like it so much better in so many different ways!

Wow, our book, "How to prepare yourself for marriage" is so close to being done!! 🥳

I'm working on the pages that go before and after the main content of the book right now!

Just a few more days until it's ready to publish in all formats on Amazon 🤯🤗🥳 it will also be available as ebook here through Nostr 🤗 I'm so excited!!!

Growing up, the idea of hybernating over winter to avoid the 6 months of snow sounded great.

Now, living in +- 100f weather, the idea of hybernating over summer until it gets cooler again is way more appealing! 🤣

I woke up to hubby listening to Tim Pool discussing what "Rights" are, and the guest can't understand Tim's point of view.

Then my husband points out that the gues is a Sensor, and Tim is Intuitive. Now it totally makes sense!

Sensors think about and are in a way limited to the 5 senses, the physical.

Intuitive people can and often do think philosophically, and the spiritual.

Peter Schiff is also a sensor. A lot of people who are into bitcoin and get it are Intuitive.

This might explain to some of you why when you try to explain bitcoin to your friends and family, they have a really hard time getting it. Especially those who say something along the lines of, "but it's not real".

This doesn't mean that all sensors are stupid. It only means that for them to get it, it probably needs to be explained using the 5 senses, rather than by using abstract language.

If you get paid in fiat, you need to renegotiate for a raise to keep up with inflation.

If you get paid in bitcoin, you can keep the same number of sats and you'll naturally get raises because the value goes up 😎

Last night someone found this post I made a while ago.

I got a new comment on it today, and I agree.

There will basically be 3 kinds of people during this transition period as AI takes over another section of jobs.

The complainers, the dependents, and the creators.

I believe a lot of us who have already joined Bitcoin will be in the 3rd category. We're the ones who will shape the future and where the world will go.

We already have hope, we already innovate, we already know how to find meaning beyond a 9 to 5.

Oh okay, 😅🤣 yes, we're keeping the list on Nostr so it can stay alive 😇

Not true for me...

I was pretty isolated before covid and left home to be with friends.

Covid restrictions caused some locals to get together in their home instead of relying on church for their social life, and I wouldn't have known them if they didn't do this. I actually ended up being more in person social during restrictions 🤣

I was able to join a wedding I wouldn't have joined otherwise.

I also joined a baby shower across the globe, on the same level as everyone else. They're having their 2nd child now but due to their ability to be in person, I was unable to attend this baby shower. 😔

I met my husband and married him, and through I've had moments of missing my joy through the years, I've learned how to get it back way more explicitly 😃

I currently feel happy, accomplished, and excited.

I became a published author after marrying my husband so now I have something productive to do even if I can't go anywhere.

I feel a little sad that you seem to have had a very different experience since covid. Bless you!!!!!!

My dreams last night kept mixing in Koreans... I mean like, supposed relatives of mine were showing up as Koreans 🤣🤣🤣

Did I watch too much of a Korean show last night? 🤔 nah, probably not. In my last dream all my relatives where back to their very white selves, so it didn't even influence my entire nights sleep!

Bring on more Korean shows!!! 😃🥳🤗🤣

Looking at the bitcoin price chart, and apparently bitcoin became a stable coin yesterday 🤣

Yeah, my first thought when I heard was, "Everyone gets a non wire brush cleaner for Christmas" but that's still a ways out...

I'm kinda glad I don't go to a lot of BBQs 😅 I might be doing the same as you!

Well, our system is already a little too small. It was 104f two days ago, so we ran the AC too late and was quite low when yesterday it was 102f and partially cloudy so we ran out of at least one battery last night, and then today it was mostly overcast and in the 90s.

Our 4 batteries made it to 80% today. Usually we have crypto mining going all day and we eventually get to 100%, but we shut that down, plus barely ran the AC, and some other things, and still didn't reach 100%.

I'm looking for recommendations for American sourced and made baby products.

Most things that claim American made are actually made from imported goods, so if you know of some products that are actually sourced from America too, please let me know!!!! 😃

Because then, not only can they feed you crap, they can get you hooked on artificial drugs to help you deal with the consequences of the original crap, followed by more drugs to deal with the side effects of the first drugs, and so on...

We bitcoiners will be some of the earliest healthy people, because our incentives are to being good value, not extortion!

Since getting into bitcoin, and Nostr, I now find myself extremely sceptical of any websites that wants my information!

Yesterday I was looking something up on a pregnancy website and they have a chat function. I had a quick question so I opened their chat....

THEY WANTED MY HOME ADDRESS to ask a question!??!? No! I barely wanna give my email address, but unless I'm ordering a product that I want showing up at my home, there is no reason for anyone to have my home address! 😬

🤣 I love my funny mind 😎🤣

How to avoid needing to use a doctor while birthing a child. Keep eating an apple a day 🤣🤣🤣
