1.5 BTC for a jpg

There's no way people that dumb have 1.5 right?

Question for the brilliant minds out there. What if @BlackRock does gets & launches BTC ETF first. $GBTC stays as it is & $BTC price starts to fly. The discount will start to turn into premium & performance would be greater than all. Isn’t that something $GBTC holders prefer? If that scenario plays out I also understand that would be the demise of @Grayscale.

You all have a glorious Zapathon. I gotta go run 🏃🏻‍♂️ I'll Zap all replies in an hour. ⚡

does anyone know what these are? 😏

yes I’m clearly procrastinating I hate packing and moving with the fire of a thousand suns that have already exploded and gone through the dark period only to be reborn adhering to the conforming cyclic cosmology model now burning with a fire 1,000,000 times more HOT🔥✨

Every year, I spend 1-2 months living in Egypt. This is because my husband is originally from Egypt, his family is much larger than mine, and so while our economic base is in the US, our social base is actually in Egypt. I thus became multinational many years ago.

However, my husband spends 3-4 months each year in Egypt, while I only spend 1-2 months there. So, there are 1-2 months where I’m in the US alone. The reason I choose to do this is to look after the household and business, and because I’m not as productive in Egypt (inconsistent internet, less optimal workstation, way more social pressures, and so forth).

In some ways, we find that spending some time apart strengthens our relationship and lets us focus on our separate things for part of the year. And when we meet after 1-2 months, it’s such a great reunion. We find ourselves wanting to catch up on so much and spend extra time together. But also, even though in some ways I look forward to having time alone and indeed get a lot done during that time, I immediately regret it once I am alone. I find myself constantly looking forward to going to Egypt, as I am now. During these periods, I end up posting more on social media, either constructively or non-constructively, in what tends to be a replacement for diminished in-person contact.

This seems to be amplified by my work situation. When I was an engineer, I worked with colleagues in person each day, but now that I work from home, my colleagues are virtual and I meet them in person only at major events. So, this relatively brief window each year of being in a different place than my husband tends to be oddly monk-like, with me at home alone 24 hours per day, working and living and doing whatever I do. I think one of my future goals will be to increase my deliberate effort at spending time with local friends, especially during this part of the year.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of “real thoughts” uniquely on Nostr, and this is the first one.

Conclusion: Social circles are (obviously) a very important thing, including for workaholics and introverts like myself. Social circles affect us in various ways, and having gone through many cycles, I have become increasingly aware of the changes that take place during these seasonal cycles of being close to others vs far from others.

Impossible to respect someone who holds this opinion or would write this article.
