Agree. However in the UK there’s no access to spot bitcoin for your pension pot. Most pensions here are also locked, so it’s basically not your money, and we just hope we might get to some of it at an arbitrary retirement age.

With a SIPP pension though you can make your own investments so MSTR could be a good option for some.

I agree it’s not sustainable, but i think it’s a symptom.

The real solution is a case of ‘fix the money, fix the world’.

There’s no doubt the failing of the fiat system and migration are linked. The fiat need for constant growth at all costs incentivises and requires the cheap labour to continue flowing in. Especially in the face of declining birth rates, which is probably, in part, also due to the fiat system and the insidious effects of inflation.

Lots of good stuff there. Although I’m pretty sick of hearing about it just being ‘men on the boats’.

After the Second World War, my grandad, who was Polish and fought for the Allies (including at Monte Casino), came over to the UK after the war and went down the pit to mine coal. He left his wife, who he’d met in Italy, to come here and earn some money. She had told him that she’d only come over, with her two daughters, once he had a house. So he worked solidly for a year, and bought a house after getting a mortgage for ~£500. His wife then came over here a year later and not long after that my dad was born.

Although I never met them, I am incredibly proud of my grandad and grandma. They created a great life for future generations and were both migrants who were welcomed here.

The moral of this story is that it’s nearly always men that speculate and climb over the mountain, or cross the sea, in search of a better life for themselves and their families.

Blaming migrants and poor people for our problems is incredibly weak. The fiat system, banks, big corporations, and neoliberal authoritarian governments are the focus of my disdain.

The much older ones are because I changed my domain, so those links don’t exist anymore. Thanks for checking.

Can you see them now? Seems to be fixed on both the app and the web for me now.

Thanks yeah. Damus is my go to app.

Why aren’t my images showing on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg if I post the url from my website?

This is a killer feature of nostr. They seem to be doing some sort of wrapping of the link. Started happening via their web app a few days ago.

Am I doing something wrong?

Action cams suck. They suck in all forms, brands and editions.

I honestly hate them with all my heart.

Totally agree.

Although companies trying to force employees to use pronouns is dumb as shit.

Another one from my shoot this week. There’s a video coming on Saturday but I was excited to see there is still some very vibrant Autumn colour around.

Really happy with how this long exposure has worked out, as the wind was whistling through the branches.

Ha! Thanks Stu

There’s a whole world out there, and it can be beautiful and amazing. We just have to step out of the door to find it.

Sunset last night definitely did not disappoint.

That feeling of finding a new location that gets the creative juices flowing is very exciting. It’s clearly paid off for you too, this is a beautifully captured image with the carpet of autumn leaves, soft light and stream leading us in. Has a really magical feel to it. Love it.

Thanks I did see this the other day and downloaded it. Just need to get my key put in and have a play.

Thanks so much. 🙏

Thanks mate.

Time—so often taken for granted or undervalued. Long exposure photography forces us to look beyond the immediate moment and reveals the beauty that exists when we extend our perspective to see the bigger picture.

You can watch it on my website via the link i posted, without ads and sponsorships. Alternatively it's on YouTube too.

See the video here.

Blame the system. Not the poor dude suffering it.

I'm currently producing a video sharing why I no longer post my photographs to twitter or instagram. Really looking forward to introducing my YouTube audience to Nostr. If just one person comes over here, i will have won.

I turned this wood into two new oak tables for our living room.

Quite recently I have been wondering whether my main passion is a love of the outdoors, or a passion for capturing it. Thankfully it is not a question that needs answering, especially in blue hour before sunrise whilst exploring a magical woodland.

Every morning I wake up feeling pumped, infused with hope for the future. Keeping away from corporate news, twitter and instagram - i can keep this feeling going all day.

Here's a hopeful photograph, to help you get pumped for the day.

There's something very special about being ready with your camera at the moment the weather turns. Great pictures are made this way.

Love those moments.

It’s better to think about ‘followers’ like if you wanted to make new friends. You actually have to go out and do things, or make things for them, tell stories to them, basically provide value.

Then you have to listen to them, consider them and comment on all the things they are doing.

Algorithms suck life and are fake.

Nostr is real and shows social proof-of-work to those who have provided value.

Thanks Nick. It was definitely one to remember.

Cool. Look forward to following along.

Thanks, it was wholesome moment.

A Warm Winter

The glorious landscape of the North York Moors. Underrated amongst places to visit in the UK so I usually have the place to myself. #photography

Rogan: we have to resist CBDCs connected to a social credit score with everything we have.

Curry: “The only way I know to resist that is literally bitcoin, and only bitcoin.”

Rogan: “yeah but”………awkwardly changes the subject.

Totally agree. Children automatically know this.

Walked in on my 8 year old daughter watching iPad in her room the other day and she immediately hid the screen from me. I asked what she was watching and it was just some YouTube kids family channel where they keep horses.

I realised when hiding the screen from me, she just wanted privacy and wasn’t being secretive.

It’s intrinsic but we’ve been conditioned to give it up easily.
