We often don't say things so that others will like us. Socrates didn't let this stop him from saying what he thought and they killed him for it but he had a vision of something after the material world and hence death did not scare him. We all will die on day after all. Are we happier to say nothing and live a longer life or speak our truths and live shorter but have more effect?

Socrates trial speech translated into modern day speech.
Its very interesting to see that times have not changed at all in some respects.
In this except from Socrates speech shows how being deliberately mis represented and having rumours created about you was as common 2400+ years ago in Ancient Greece as it is today...

Trade is on... making money while travelling...
https://www.tradingview.com/x/K9uOWUDT
As an example of my previous post about making money while travelling in the Day Trading market here is a trade that I am currently in.
If price action goes down to the yellow line I win approx. $100 USDT. If it goes up the the higher yellow line I lose about $40 USDT. If you are doing correct TA you should win more times than you lose and with the win/loss ratio in this range your wins will be larger than your loses over time in absolute USDT terms and you make money.
How to make money while travelling?

Trading Foreign Exchange (USDAUD or BTCUSDT for egs) is one way to easily make money online while travelling. The only trick is you need a significant amount of cash to invest in order to make a decent amount weekly. Id suggest 10,000 - 20,000 USD would be great and you could fairly easily make $500 - $1000 of this amount in a month. More if you become good at it. Possibly up to $2000 if you show talent for it.
This is enough to pay for your basics while travelling in many countries in the developing world.
Below is a video explaining The Moving Average's (YT Channel) method to trade. If you follow it without varying much outside of the box its quite reliable. Built in is all of the risk management and Technical Analysis so all you need to provide is the patience and presence of mind not to vary form the method and you'll be fine. Problems start when you start to veer away from following the rules and you will lose money. Follow the path and refine it by adding rules not taking away rules is the trick.
Before committing real money you can 'paper trade' to figure out how the process works and gain confidence in the methodology.

If you don't have a the capital to invest then you will need to build that up before this being a viable option. Why not create a following on Damus or Amethyst and partake in the Zaps (Bitcoin) to start to build your income. Choose a topic and start creating content. You could even use your trading journey as content as you paper trade and learn to navigate the markets.
True enough. I recently learned and underwent Ayurvedic treatment which is more or less all done through food and oils and teas. Takes longer but v good at pre emptive treatment which western med often isn't good at.

Try some tips below but also falling asleep on time and getting quality sleep. Its difficult when you were just working soon before trying to sleep. May need some changes in schedule to be effective but these tips work for me. Hope it helps!

Chiang Mai cafes to work from
I've been in Chiang Mai for 5 months and here are the best cafes to work from on the Southern side of the Old Town. This area is known as Wua Lai and has cheaper rents than the rest of the city but still some very good options to rent ($200 USD a month furnished 1 bedrm) isn't uncommon.
These are not really co work places more cafes that a really good to work from. All have space and good wifi and are actually pretty quiet. Weekend are exceptions to quiet but during the week almost dead. My favourite is Weave. You can grab a beer or drink there after 5pm ish as well. Chicken Sandwhich is excellent. Coffee great also 👌
But you can't spend all day in your apt so when you want a break bt still need to dobwork here is where I recommend...

Interesting
I made a Nomad community as well, brand new. It's below if you want to write some notes up on your travels. I would be interested for sure in more detail on some spots you've enjoyed in your travels. Probably others as well!
That sounds great man! I also want to go to Africa. I had a West coast surf trip in the back of my head for years now. Morocco to South Africa coast for 6 months. Would be amazing for me!
Thai espresso or Es Thai. Espresso, condensed milk for sweetener, ice and full fat milk. Get some!

Thailand Visa Update 2023
If anyone wants to spend a few months in Thailand here is a run down on the visa situation at the moment (August 2023).
On arrival you get a 30 day tourist visa. This used to be 45 but now it's 30.
You can extend this without leaving the country for another 30 days by visiting the local immigration office and filling some forms, paying 1900 BHT (55 USD) and waiting a few hours. They don't yet accept BTC but there is a BTC community here in Chiang Mai.
Now if you want to stay longer than 60 days then you have options.
If you want to stay up to 6 months then at the end of your 60 days after above extension you need to do a 'border run'.
You can do this by land or air and it's simply leaving Thailand briefly and returning to renew the visa.
If you go by land as many do when you re enter you get another 30 days and you can extend that another 30 as per above.
You can do a land border run twice per calendar year. So with the initial visa and two land border runs you could stay approx 6 months.
If you have used all your land border runs then you can get a flight and return to get another 60 days.
In theory you can do air border runs indefinitely but at some point it's possible thai immigration officials will tell you to stop or you may just get sick of it.
If you want to avoid all of this then you can apply for an education visa and study a few times a week in any language or even Muav Thai if that's your thing. You can renew this yearly at approx 50,000 BAHT or 1500 USD.
