Good night 🌙

Hi and welcome :) I hope it’s a nice day in Berlin today. Also set up your lightning wallet asap

How did you feel there ? What did you think about ? Usually mountains allow to have these precious moments of clarity, best thoughts. Very nice picture - captures both sunny and shadowy sides :) why did you need a permission? Is this a sacred place for Navajo?

99% or maybe more of the population don’t make any choices, generally, in life, even about what to buy for dinner. Choices are made for them. I mean there is an illusion of choices but we know they are not real. This is not a criticism or sarcasm, it’s just a fact. Lately there is a lot of posts about bees on Nostr , so using this metaphor here - majority of ppl are worker bees, but just much more lazy. Btw I am not any better , so I am talking about myself as well. Bitcoin has always been offering a way out , an exit from the world of fiat slavery, whether as money or as investment etc. Not relevant at this point. But there is a one huge problem - to enter this exit you are required to make your own decision, spent few thousands of calories on brain work required for an education process and you need to take a risk and full responsibility for your choice and changes that it may bring into your life. That’s it - this is a stopper. Fiat was , is chosen by others for us, it’s imposed and this is the “beauty” of it. You don’t need to make any choices, spent time, efforts on some boring shit, also - the most scary for average person element - you don’t need to take responsibility for anything. You have been assigned a role of a receiver, a forever child, who can complain , scream but doesn’t make any difference, who doesn’t matter. Fiat, inflation ,decreasing level of quality of life, ever rising taxes, dumb and dumber, arrogant and ever more arrogant politicians who don’t even care anymore to pretend that they are any different from criminals - this is all horrible , but you can forever blame on them. With btc , you can’t blame on anyone accept yourself - this is unbearable and unmanageable load . So I am afraid - bitcoin will not make everyone happy. Not in a foreseeable future. Not with the current version of a human being. Same logic I believe is applicable to scalability “problems” of Nostr. Nostr (although a lot is to do and to improve) is not for everyone . If we want to make btc or Nostr for everyone we need to change the core of what makes btc and Nostr so special. But compromise for what, for whom? For those who don’t even care when being robbed, humiliated, lied to on a daily basis? I think that at this moment, taking into account recent developments , we need to focus not on scalability, we need to ensure security and start thinking really seriously about building parallel to fiat circular economy, maybe in a country that favors btc. At this moment we can’t save everyone , it’s like on the plane - we need to ensure that we can save ourselves , then when this ensured - we will think about others. Otherwise they will eat us, and there will be no one to care about freedom or decentralized world in the first place. This is obv imo. And sorry-not sorry for not cheering up blindly, but I am actually optimistic just in an another way.

I think I watched it twice. Enjoyed it a lot. But tbh I think 80% of this movie success is Joaquin Phoenix as a Joker. Every scene with him is just pure hypnosis. Great actors like phoenix , these ppl, they have some extraordinary powers - you can’t just take away your eyes of them when they act, regardless of their looks. Do you think they are like mediums in some way ? I know some call it charisma and blablabla, but what is this exactly. I have no idea. Phoenix is the best actor of the last 100 years at least, better than Brando even imo.

most of Hollywood „stars” are so disgustingly plastic and puppet-like caricatures of living humans with no real personalities or talent. Bc of that you kind of almost respect or at least sympathize with few of them who for some reason decided to destroy themselves in an epic manner. Just bc they ate themselves but didn’t allow others to eat them.

I love Dvořák

Yes 🙌

Marie, you and Derek Ross are official Nostr mascots. I can’t believe anyone can be against you. We all love you. I feel like there is another behind the curtains drama going on and again it’s not clear what happened and when and why 🤦‍♀️ . We need to have a Yellow Papers newsletter, exclusively for Nostr gossips, intrigues and dramas 😝 (joking , we don’t need that ) and btw you can’t zap everyone even if you want to , it’s not possible. Everyone knows that . So don’t worry

“And you are going to apply even and gentle pressure…” - the best tutorial if you ask me 👌😁

Welcome anon, no one is perfect 👍

Food extremist attack was detected again 😂? Carnivores and vegans are just two sides of the same coin and the name of this coin is - imbalance. Isn’t it nice to be an omnivore? Calm sleep, no need to take sides in arguments and you get to eat the best of everything - dream life 😝

OMG, I bet secret ingredient here is mint 💜. Mint is so good, it’s like an orange among herbs , makes the flavor brighter, lighter and us - happier :) mint and garlic and white vinegar 👌

My first dumb thought was that utxo reconsidered and came back, but then lost his mind, stole karnage’s profile picture 😂 and decided to lead a life of an imposter.

I also came to this realization that bitcoiner doesn’t always equal libertarian and doesn’t even equal open- minded person oftentimes. I’d say even here on Nostr there are ppl who are just plain conservatives with quite rigid world-views, strong feeling of self-righteousness and very low level of self-doubt. I suppose for them love for freedom only means love for personal freedom that btc holding gives but doesn’t mean recognizing that other ppl were not created to accommodate their individual believe systems. Sometimes “otherness” of the world around us and ppl who are not me :) is annoying and even frustrating , I know that and everyone knows that. But allowing others to live how they wish to live (given that these others don’t threaten your property, rights and safety) is one of the pre-requisites to be happy in this world of ours :) I wrote this longish, totally unnecessary note, but everything I wanted to say really is that I want Noshole and Roja to come back to us .

Seafood - niam niam 😋. Re leftovers -some food is meant to be eaten as a „leftover”- it tastes better on a second day or even third one. Ex. Almost all vegetable soups improve in taste during few next days after prepared.

Waitress in an Italian restaurant. Omg - 157 lessons :) most important: 1. Be always nice to ppl who make and serve food to you, or generally to ppl who “serve” you, bc … it’s just clever thing to do 😛 (it helps me now a lot) , always tip, 2. How much a smile or few nice words can be a game-changer and even impact your income, 3. I learned the biggest secret of my life - how to make the best tiramisu without mascarpone🤌🏻 😀, 4. Even hard physical job can be fun 🤩
