Once you spend time on #Nostr,

Twitter is starting to look like Facebook.

Some thoughts from this interview:

"Sovereignty" used to be located in kings (i.e., sovereigns).

Then popularly elected governments took it over, which brought sovereignty a bit closer to the people, but still located it in government.

Now, we must move to the sovereignty of each individual . That is true self-government/self-determination.

Cut out the middle-man/government which is just a self-seeking, parasitic entity.

* reading the bottle

Have you never read the fine print all over a Dr. Bronners bottle? It’s … wild.

Maybe I just love reading to bottle too much. 😆

It’s the only soap I use to bathe, but then my head is shaved, so ya know. I do distill it to a third soap, 2/3rds water.

My wife uses other products.

Imma throw two sticks at his ass and see if he makes fire 🔥 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been a Dr. Bronners maxi for a decade+.

Is there ANY advantage to bar soap over liquid soap?

If you use bars of soap, please explain, I'm genuinely curious what the use cases is.

Imma throw two sticks at his ass and see if he makes fire 🔥 🤷‍♂️

My new normal is not knowing, I feel better for it.

I heard everyone is upset at Haley Bieber because she’s being mean to Selena Gomez over Justin. It’s devastating 😭

No one is a lost cause, but he'll have to learn to drink on his own like #[7] said

I'll do my part and give him the resources

If he can't make fire, that's his fault🤷‍♂️🫂

BRO FUCKING RIGHT?

You have no idea how many times that argument went in circles

His argument revolved around "in the medieval times it was used as currency why wouldn't it work now"

Mine revolved around " there wouldn't even be a level of society in place for a form of currency to be created. One already in place and readily available is needed"

I'd then try to explain satoshis and the premise behind it

That was another fucking rabbit hole that just led back to "it worked in medieval times" like bro. Fucking listen.

I hope so

He's intrigued by the relays and how all that works

Idk how interested I can get him in actually engaging on here and learning

I semi-retired from analytics consulting to become a tennis teaching pro, personal trainer, and health coach.

Told my clients I wanted to quit focusing on company bottom lines and instead focus on individual’s waist lines. I can’t stand our #bigfood, #bigpharma sick care system.

Then my captivation with #Bitcoin came along. I actually recently created a slide deck to convince my wife on why investing even more into Bitcoin was the soundest investment strategy. I’ve debated taking that deck to a lot of my clients to try and educate them…then point them to resources like Swan as well as several of the books I appreciated in my own journey.

I’m not at a point where I want to dedicate my life to Bitcoin because I already have the mission of getting more people healthy, getting juniors to build self-esteem and resilience through competition, etc.

But I’d also love to be a gig-worker for someone like Swan, Excellion, Paxful, etc. - traveling to locales that NEED Bitcoin education.

No matter what I’ve done in my career, it came from a teaching mindset.

HE WOULDNT ACCPET THAT

Literally would look at my phone screen, look back at me, and go back to his prior argument

I was talking to a brick wall, and it hurt my head like I was running into it

Okay, so I tried explaining to my coworker who buys gold, that gold will never be an economic standard again because it's used in plenty of electronics and other things now, and something being used in commodities can't be a standard of economy

And he's like "when the computers go down, all that will be left is what you hold in your hand"

To stop myself from further ranting out of frustration, the summary is, I'm slowly coming to terms that some people will not understand the future before it hits them like a bag of bricks

Because an hour and a half of googling, pulling up facts, and explaining things as simple as i could, a 44 year old man still told me I was wrong🙃🫠

You can't tell me we haven't been ideologically subverted to choose personal opinions over facts

Sorry

Rant over🫡🫶

That's why I tried to talk to him

And this was 9 hours ago now, and I'm still frustrated when I think about it

I can't help but feel like if I had made better points or done something better, I could've helped him understand something different

He hates social media tho, but is somewhat intrigued by the idea of Nostr and how it takes control away from others and puts it in your hands

So working on getting him on here

Prior to Nostr:

1. Never recorded a parody song I made on the fly and posted it publicly.

2. Never sent Real Money to people for their words.

3. Never reached out to authors of articles I enjoyed and resonated with.

4. Never got a follow from those authors.

5. Never received Real Money for my own words.
