I'm blissfully unaware that this bullshit is still going on.

TFFN!

I went a little too long & rendered too much of the fat away for my liking.

Still tasty & juicy

Letting it run out completely was the next option I had.

I had shut it down while I mentally went through what wasn't backed up.

The Aqua wallet was the only thing I could think of & decided I'd try to save it before doing anything else.

Did that fix the profile for you Baz?

Yeah - it's not a bad idea to occasionally update your profile to send an updated event out.

It could be your client or the relay/s he's using to publish.

Yeah. Sometimes your client won't be able to find the event that contains it.

Sometimes it takes a while to find it

This is how I see his profile:

The beef ribs are smoking!

Have a good one!

🤙

Yeah it's mineracks@walletofsatoshi.com

Every so often I eat out, just to be reminded not to.

GM

I've just gone through 12 hrs of thinking that my phone's bricked.

It wouldn't recognise the USB charging cable (yes I tried many chargers & cables).

I thought it was the Graphene update as I also had a weird debris detected message show & quickly disappear while updating.

I had 500K sats sitting on my Aqua wallet, not backed up 🤦‍♂️

I was about to switch the phone on & quickly backup the Aqua wallet with the remaining 2% battery when I connected it into the Linux PC. The screen showed 2% & then 3%, when it got to 5% I knew it was charging.

I don't know if plugging it into a PC woke the port up but it's charging as normal now.

I also don't know who needed to hear this, but sometimes you get no warning when devices die.

Have you backed up those 12 words anon?

Admit it - you still get excited when the automatic car wash starts.

I do 😂

That stain brings out all the detail in your joins beautifully.

Looks awesome & like it's already had 100 years of use.

Nice work man

Yeah - there are so many potential reasons.

It also makes sense that this would occur around the 100K mark.

Each epoch sees more sats distributed into more hands.

I'd prefer they were in the hands of individuals rather than corporations but this was also inevitable.

Hodling is simple but not easy. Looking forward to October.

You determine your value, your worth.

You're here on a divine mission, don't look to others to define your own value.

You're worthy & valuable, otherwise you wouldn't be here at such an important point in time.

🫂💚

Enjoy man.

I love putting myself into situations & experiences like this.

You never know what will unfold!

I can put myself in their shoes.

I'd be a little nervous sitting on 1000+ Bitcoin as nation states & corporations sit on the verge of pumping BTC to $1M+.

It's too much wealth & attention for any single individual to have.

I just wanted to seperate money from state, I didn't want to become uber wealthy.

Maybe I'll just sell half & pay the tax?

The worst is purging the crap that you bought pre Bitcoin & doing mental math about how many sats it would have been.

At the time you know you wanted it enough to buy it, but now it's just taking up storage space & cluttering your life.

I realise now that I was trying to fill a hole in my soul caused by working for fiat.

Can confirm. We're just the cool GenXers who remember what the internet used to be like.

I thought the same thing!

I see a wash your penis style Vee Log a coming

I don't know - I've never bought it.

If it's a mild tasting oil, it should work.

It's so true.

I've not indulged many desires since discovering Bitcoin. The ones I have indulged in have cost me far too many sats for the fleeting joy they offered.

The funny thing I've noticed is that the desires that take root tend to manifest in ways I didn't initially anticipate. They just sort of manifest indirectly, almost coincidentally.

Opportunities arise that are in alignment with those deep desires & I recognise them as such. I can take action on the opportunity quickly & not let it slip away. At other times the cost still feels too great still & I have to exercise patience by letting the opportunity go by.

Having the capacity to act & not acting, is an interesting circumstance in itself.

Just paste the Note ID

Yeah I fully feel that. Mine's a good kid, I just wish I'd done more to prepare him for the world he's going into.

No need to apologise, just link it properly next time.

We're all still learning how to Nostr.

Marty has only just stopped doing this with his long form posts.

Great advice man.

It always pains me a little seeing this kind of stuff now that I didn't understand while my son was young.

It reminds me that we need to be bringing older, wiser men in to help raise our sons.

I was 28 when my son was born & I was emotionally still a boy. I didn't have the wisdom, resources & mental strength that I have now. I would certainly have done a few things differently.

Man why are you sending me to primal?

Link to the event directly.

I think your thoughts & feelings are downstream of your beliefs, definitions & agreements.

There is no in built meaning to anything that arises in our reality. It's our definitions & beliefs that shape their meaning. We have full control over how we perceive events but not through pure force of our mind, it's by shaping & crafting our beliefs & definitions.

A big one I've found helpful was accepting responsibilty for everything that arises. I chose this event, this expression, at a higher level, why? What insight does this show me? What can I learn from this? I don't like how this feels, what do I still believe that is causing me this pain?

My aim was never to become a stoic, it was to illuminate my suffering. Pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. It's resistance to what is. It's ultimately my beliefs & definitions that cause the resistance. Once I started shifting my beliefs, everything else started shifting.

I think it's an and not an or. I don't think fiat suddenly dies but Bitcoin will exist beside it as fiat repeatedly crashes further in value.

Bitcoin is available for anyone when they're ready. Sadly I don't think everyone will choose it.

I loved this one man. So much of it resonated with me & it fills me with joy to hear you express it.

So much of our conditioning has been in getting us to focus on the physical & to deny the significance or existence of the nonphysical.

It's such a trip when you think about it. 30 mins work + a couple of years of care & you have a plant that makes free food for you. From that plant you can multiply it many times over.

I'm done buying avocado plants. Ironically the most recent 2-3 I've bought are actually doing quite well. The other 5 have I've bought, died slowly over a decade. I've a feeling my new ones (yet to sprout) will quickly overtake them in size. It'll be interesting to watch.

As a Bitcoiner I find real value in taking seeds & cuttings to propogate new plants at very little cost. It feels very open source to me.

Low time preference is a must. All it takes is a seed, some work & linear time. It kind of applies to most things in life. You've gotta trust the process & plant lots of seeds.

A long read, but the author (a brother of mine) has taken much time to condense his thoughts.

It's also worth a small fraction of your time.

It's not good for you dude.

I also started lifting again after a 2 year break.

Yes life is much more enjoyable.

Is not a nut!

I like the bench grinder

Take nothing personally & express your most authentic self.

Well articulated sir.

We don't need permission.

💚🫂

Yeah I'm not seeing it.

I probably haven't accessed the feature that requires it. 🤷

What was the revised guidance?

It's hard seeing when it's people that you care about.
