GM! ☕️ Have an awesome day from a random nostrich here!

People who like you will see that you are trying to be better than you were yesterday and appreciate you for it.

People who hate you will judge you for who you were yesterday.

One troubling thing about humanity is knowing that there will always be those who wish to judge you based on your past mistakes.

One uplifting thing about humanity is that there are many many more people who are interested in your growth and development.

Let’s say you overcame alcoholism.

It’s more rare than not to meet a person who says “once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. You’ll never change”.

Most people will congratulate you on overcoming your challenge and wish you well in regards to your future.

The reason the negative outlier stands out is often because we speak to ourselves the same way.

We are our own worst critics.

And hearing an outside source validate our secret horrible thoughts about ourselves makes them seem even more true.

But they’re not.

Don’t give in to fear and self doubt.

Most people are rooting for you.

Give yourself permission to root for you too.

"The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946.....Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard."

Sorry not sorry.

Good morning nostr, the birds are singing, the rooster is crowing, and Buster the cat is meowing for his breakfast. So its time to start the day and decide what i'll work on, from the list. I might do some house cleaning, and make some notes for my friend that i'll be going to visit soon. She wants me to help her with exchanging some old cryptos into btc. Anyway, yall have a great Thursday, enjoy your coffee, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #grownostr #homesteading

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, DESPITE RAMPANT SPECULATION I FAIL TO SEE HOW I BENEFIT FROM ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT. JUST THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE PUBLIC. CONSIDER ZAPPING DEVS WHO BUILD SHIT YOU RELY ON.

RHR WILL BE TOMORROW AT 1800 UTC.

my opinions don’t change if i learn what happened in some random convo. Bitcoin doesn’t care.

we need a healthy open source Bitcoin community. period. no matter what. Bitcoin won’t succeed without one. even if we want to ossify, Bitcoin Core 26.0 won’t last us centuries to come. open source projects need open source devs and an open source community.

we should focus on no strings attached funding for devs. the community has worked tirelessly to set this up with things like OpenSats, Brink, HRF, Chaincode, etc. to enable that effortlessly for us and the devs.

we as Bitcoiners should want devs to build whatever they think is best. engineers are the artists of the digital world. the smartest most forward thinkers in the room. we want to enable them. they aren’t ever a threat, don’t mistaken them for one. why? because the only way Bitcoin can change is if we, the network, run their code. let them create. we the network, the people, decide what gets adopted.

if someone builds something terrible, we won’t run it. that’s happened many times before. see Segwit2x, BitcoinCash, etc.

often times engineers strike moments of brilliance in Bitcoin. a very famous example is Segwit and how we got Lightning. nobody thought Segwit was possible technically. was never clear if or when we’d ever get Lightning. a few open source engineers named Luke and Eric found a brilliant solution. we adopted it. we now have Lightning being enabled by Coinbase. let engineers create art. fund and support them.

wanna ossify Bitcoin? run Core 26 forever and never update. no problem. don’t wanna fund devs? no problem. we don’t need to agree on these things. however, if you want the entire network to agree with you, you need to go out and advocate for consensus around your vision. that’s just how bitcoin works. the network moves as one, not from a meeting or self elected group.

bitcoin is a distributed network. it progresses through distributed consensus. the network will act in its own best interest, not based on anything else. fund the best engineers to protect and advance the one chance we have at reinventing money for humanity. adopt what we want, reject what we don’t. if there’s anything we need to work on every cycle with new entrants is public discourse and how to arrive at consensus as a distributed network.

also, everyone should breathe. it’s all love and gonna be ok. Bitcoin was designed to not care and last through anything 🙂
