Sometimes I feel like I'm killing it and then I hear about how much other people make 🤯

But then I hear about how little they save in *Not Bitcoin* and everything feels right

Follow ur dreams kid.

Slow roast pork, olive oil and saffron potato puree, fennel and apricot.

Really summery dish from last weekends feast

I highly recommend the books! There are 3 novellas, then novels, and a few short stories.

Here’s the reading order… though the short stories fit in between the novellas and novels.

What are you cooking today?

GM and PV to all 🌄

We’re halfway through the week! What are you doing this Wednesday?

People often ask me why I do what I do and dedicate so much time to Nostr. It's really simple. I dedicate my time and energy to Nostr because I care about our communities and I put people first, knowing that when I do so, the community, as well as the entire ecosystem, will succeed. And succeed we must. Legacy social communication is bad for humanity. I truly believe Nostr is the best path forward.

Just chicken tonight

Know your role. 🥩

We planted this vineyard 5 years ago.

It's finally starting to look like a vineyard.

PROOF OF TIME HORIZON

Good one 🚀🫶🏻

Milk is really gross if you think about it. A nature formulated mixture to make baby cows grow fast - and we steal it from the cow for consumption. 🤣

We are weird.

Over the weekend, I got the keys to the #Bitcoin Café. In exactly a month, we will be opening the doors. (8/21)

Obviously, I am in over my head. We still have to plan the menu, get the Bitcoin mugs, paint the walls, get chairs and tables, hire a barista, get coffee machines, install a Bitcoin bookshelf… and the list goes on and on.

So amidst all the chaos, this reminds me of life. Life is not about the destination, but the journey. So I wanted to take the time to take it all in. To stop and smell the roses. To thank you for being such a big part of BTC Isla.

If a year ago, when the first class of BTC Isla students were graduating, you had told me we’d be opening a Bitcoin Café… I would have laughed and said you were crazy. But here we are. A year later. And it’s real. 🧡

We are going all in, about to embark on this journey. Am I scared? Heck yeah.

But this is a post for you to think bigger. To know that the slow grind does pay off. The consistency, the quiet persistence, the discipline, the showing up… THAT’S what matters.

A little bit every day goes a long way. Slow and steady wins the race.

Can’t wait to welcome you to the Bitcoin Café. ☕️

I had a chance to have a brief conversation with my 7 yo about consumption of stuff. Tried to explain how less is more, and to be happy you want less stuff. Not sure if it made sense to him or not but it’s nice to be able to discuss these things. If he listens, he’ll do better in life than his peers.

The key part being listening - kids tend to ignore their parents. I know I did.

You get the 2x in Mnav

Losing youthful spirit is the death of experience. Those examples seem like escape mechanisms for a dying culture and lack of face to face interaction.

😲 it's late night for me and didn't expect you to reply...

But I'm glad you did

. It's a huge turning point and I'm happy to be documenting this via my YT channel shortly

"Getting Back to Basics: Reclaiming What Truly Matters"

" THIS IS A TRUTH POST FOR ME 🙏🏼 "

It's a strange feeling, being let go from something you poured your heart into. Especially when the values you held dear – client well-being, genuine connection, and frankly, family – got overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. That's exactly what happened when my vision for a client-first landscaping company clashed with their insatiable hunger for the bottom line.

My priority was always clear: supporting my wife through her battle with cancer and being present for our three kids. That meant being available for appointments, being a true family man, and finding a balance where work served life, not the other way around. They chose money. I chose my family. And ultimately, I was fired for it.

But sometimes, getting knocked down is the universe's way of telling you to get back to your roots. This isn't about doing something wrong; it's about humbling myself, shedding the corporate greed, and rediscovering the genuine engagement and joy that first drew me to this work.

Now, I'm starting from the ground up, doing my own thing. It's about remembering why I loved landscaping in the first place – the honest work, the satisfied clients, and the ability to build something beautiful with my own hands. More importantly, it's about building a life where I'm truly present for my family, finding happiness and enjoyment in every small victory, and proving that you don't need to chase endless wealth to find true fulfillment.

This is my journey back to basics, back to genuine purpose, and back to myself.

No this is last year's cab franc

The fortune from my fortune cookie is telling me to buy more Bitcoin because I want it to mean that. Who am I to ignore such a clear indication?

I’ve been doing this thing for awhile now where I don’t correct anyone’s assumptions about me.

When I stopped trying to defend myself I started to learn a lot more about others.

The assumptions someone holds about you actually speak volumes about them.

Give it a shot, you’ll get some interesting data from it.

I’m coming back y’all. Taking a short break. Will see you soon Nostr.

time with friends

Should Bitcoin break above $108,000 with strong volume, the next resistance levels to watch are around $109,129 and $111,017. A successful breach could open the path toward the $113,000 mark, indicating continued bullish momentum.

Let’s go!!!
