Merry Christmas Ani ✨

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 🥂✨

I wrapped this Santa Baby cover in a little winter #Bitcoin magic — no wish lists, no middlemen, just love and light ❄️

Hope it finds you cozy, wherever you are.

Wishing you a WOWOWOW year ahead!

With love,

Ivy Lumi 🧡

100%.

Alchemy is the chemical reaction that's happening when we integrate.

Just like healing is the chemical reaction that happens when we love.

To alchemize love and light in this world, we must alchemize an equal amount of fear and darkness.

A purification process — although, not us, the agents/witnesses, being pure. Sometimes it’s quite the contrary.

To do that, we first need to do it within ourselves, a multiverse of its own.

How much darkness can you contain without being consumed? But containment isn’t enough — we must alchemize it.

How much fear can you overcome before you’re able to bear the world’s responsibilities — the ones you truly crave, tied to the path meant for you, beyond your wildest imagination?

The darkness will always be there. So be the light, as the Dao continues.

sing it into existence✨

Is everything political?

Sometimes at the coffee shop where I’m a regular, other regulars see me and come talk to me at the communal table where I usually sit. They refer to me as “the #Bitcoin girl.” Sometimes they don’t even like Bitcoin , but they still seem interested in what I have to say.

One of these regulars is a 70-year-old man who’s somewhat involved in decisions about how the province’s pension funds are spent. He’s read the white paper and is intrigued enough to observe from the sidelines. But he doesn’t get the ethos of Bitcoin, and he can’t let go of the belief that everything is political.

My respect and appreciation go to Bitcoiners who have these conversations on a daily basis, trying to orange-pill people on the political or ideological plane. I mean — good luck.

I asked him:

“Do you believe the nature of reality is probabilistic or deterministic?”

“It’s a collection of probabilities.”

There you go.

If you believe the nature of reality is probabilistic, think about the course of your life’s events. The timing. The sequence. The factors beyond our control working out the way they do — for better for worse.

Where should we place ourselves amongst all this?

I’m puzzled and fascinated by it daily.

I get where he’s coming from. We live in a world where everything has been politicized — mostly for the worse, where it's been used as rhetoric to manipulate sentiment, create conflict and division, built on control and fear.

Everything is political?

If you ask me: politics is fiat. Never forget.

The way I see it, reality is complex and always layered. While we can never see all the layers with our naked human eyes, some of us see more layers than others, and operate on layers deeper than others.

Money is more base-layer than politics.

(This is what a true bitcoiner gets. The reason it doesn’t seem that way is because money and the state are not separated.)

Love is more base-layer than money.

Which is why love is more base-layer than even Bitcoin.

What is the primary filter you’re putting on your life?

How would you feel if your loved ones prioritized their political views over you and your relationship? If they neglected their children for massive ego contests and power struggles, fueled by fear and trauma — why?

But hey — who am I to tell you to prioritize love?

I’m merely a hopeless romantic.

Beyoncé: You don't deserve my tears.

Ivy Lumi: I cry for you.

Starting by imagining our perfect day, implement what we can already + slowly working towards that day.

It comes down to enjoying each moment and be rather evenly present.

GM #nostr

I have some very exciting news to share with you all that I've been keeping under wraps for a while now.

I'm heading out to Nashville this October to record my next album 'Alone In Valentine' with some world class talent. Since I started writing country songs about a decade ago, it's been a dream of mine to cut a record in Nashville and now it feels like the time is right to make it happen.

As well as my main kickstarter campaign which goes live tomorrow, I wanted to do a nostr:nprofile1qyt8wue69uhkummnw3ezuer9d3hhgett9e6xktcpremhxue69uhkgetk9ehx7um5wfcxcctevaex7atwvshxxmmd9uqzpdkumh0cve6jslg6f6rzpkf24yzuykxc2zlcejfr6wwlrm07uhh878n2y8 fund for the nostr folks who can support with sats, if you so wish. Staying true to my path these past few years, this album will eventually be released for free under the value for value model. However, this is my biggest, most ambitious project to date and traveling half way around the world comes with hefty a price tag. I will be putting a big emphasis on physical merch as a way people can support this vision and help me bring the album to life.

With this Geyser campaign, you can pre-order the album as a CD (old school), a vinly record (very old school - but hipster), or signed merch bundle (CD, vinyl and t-shirt). There are some higher tier rewards for the whale zappers. 🐋 $500 gets you an album credit thank you (and signed merch bundle), the top slot is a private house show performance of the whole album (for UK residents only).

This is my first attempt at something like this, so I will admit, that I'm taking a shot in the dark. But I've decided that I'm making this album because I believe it needs to be made. I'm selfishly making it for me first, and I hope others will eventually find it and like it. I truly do believe in the value for value model and when the album is released digitally, it will be released early into the valueverse ( nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtkx46kv7tgx3kxketnd3nhs7rrvdkxwwrxxp585ct6dpshwdmjwdexsanxw96hs7ndxfnxkd35vvmny6rswv6r2m3swc6n7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgr98zf9a0akv86p3kx86p6tachg4lthsuqamzg8psk6jdk4w8j4cv6qcgkr , nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqyfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9sldm58v , LNBeats etc) before legacy platforms. However, if you'd like to show an extra bit of support, you can do so by pre-ordering a physical copy with this Geyser campaign.

I feel like this album has been a long time coming and I can't wait for you all to hear it!

Please give a share for visability.

Let's go! 🚀

Excited for you, can't wait to hear the songs come to life!

Nature is nature - duality is not cruelty, it is the game of earth. It is what it is.

I kept thinking about it cuz it’s all about perspective:

Who’s the villain? Who’s the saint?

Neither is either. Both are both.
