Καλημέρα

Mostly interesting that the BBC is now allowed to report on an obvious truth, whereas before they were only allowed to report "Bitcoin bad" stories

do I hate my MacBook or do I hate myself for using a MacBook?

Alright, let me see if I have this global CBDC system straight in my head...

Right now, all the legislative / regulatory focus is on stablecoins. Because they will form the foundation of every payment system and prevent something like what happened to FTX ever happening again.

Factionalized to 8 dp, it will allow for a high definition of transactional ability. So the treasury system will function on stablecoins.

On top of that, XRP on ripple will facilitate inter-bank transactions and provide the on-demand liquidity needed via the XRP tokens. So each institutional and central bank will be holding XRP derived from the treasury stablecoin baskets to burn whenever they run a transaction.

Blockshain's too slow and inefficient, so it's going to be a hashgraph world, and right now, HBAR is the only contender for the mainstream retail banking, POS market.

Did I miss anything in the architecture?

Freedom is not possible without privacy.

Good morning (very good morning) 🥹🙏🌆

Whatever your preferred sense of faith or intuition, follow that ♥️

After a couple of incredibly challenging days, followed by a couple of inspiring and heart-opening days, I wanted to update this thread.

This experience was one of the scariest ever, but in the end was just a scare and not the nightmare it looked like from the beginning.

Nonetheless, it was an opportunity to grow and evolve in a massive way, and I have come through the other side more of a man than I have ever been.

Identify the things in your life that matter most to you, and then act accordingly. Stay humble, stay active, lead with love, and find courage when it counts.

“You can’t open your heart in a cave… you need people”.

My wife told me this once, long before we were married (and back when I was under the impression that some sort of jungle/desert/ascetic journey was necessary for spiritual development).

She is one of the wisest people I have ever met, and these are words I try to live by.

I’m going forward with and immense sense of relief, power, joy, and love. Generous love, expanded into corners I hadn’t expected. Passionate love, driven by forces I’m deeply in touch with.

It feels like I became an adult, a man, over the past few days. Feelings fade and shift, so my work now is to carry and nurture this power within myself and for those around me who need it.

GOOD MORNING #NOSTR

Big week!

Time to bring this baby girl into the world 🎀

In my opinion only with an ego you can experience love. Without an ego you become love.

I guess in that sense you’re right and change serves growth. Change for change sake, not desirable. Whereas change from growth sake is.

Two sides of the same coin in my mind

It’s crucial that you die a hundred times while still alive.

Constant growth.

Constant change.

Repeated metamorphosis.

If you’re the same person at 40 that you were at 20 then you’ve wasted 20 years.

It will be very painful and uncomfortable to constantly change, but not changing will be even more painful.

Easier said than done.

When a reply sounds like a bot, I assume it’s a bot. If you talk like a bot, well, that sucks and sorry 😣

I am using Acqua

One more question. Any good apps for kids for chores ? Satoshi stacking ? #asknostr

Running nostr

Thank you for your words brother, means a lot. And yes pain, but it was necessary for people to wake up… I have actually some DNA coming from down the Aegean Sea. I hope to visit one day 😂🧡

smash grapes -> juice

what do you mean?

When you do something nice,

don't ask for anything in return.

the universe will provide

look, hedonists trying to cure their self-induced depression!

just kidding, I love this shit. stoicism just feels a lot more useful to me than hedonism ever did.

This is the shortest book I've ever read that changed my life.

It's "The Enchiridion" By Epictetus. Epictetus is one of the most important Stoics in history. He was a philosopher and slave. However, although he was a slave, he was more free than most rulers.

Here is the craziest part. Marcus Aurelius, the guy I cite daily, was emperor of Rome while Epictetus was a slave in Rome.

Both practiced the same philophy and wrote about the same things. Both had the same human challenges. Both knew that power and freedom comes from within and that only things that you can control can be moral or immoral.

A philophy practiced by emperors and slaves alike. Study stoicism.
