Man - I've been there. I literally spent a day or two exploring an island in Thailand as Satoshi. It was incredible to feel that power & that responsibility. I even let a few strangers know who I was (they either didn't know who he was or didn't believe me).
I don't know what you'd call that experience. I wasn't on any drugs but I'd spent a week meditating, surrendering & letting go of my fears.
It all kind of dissolved once I started trying to work out ways to spend/move some coins. I had an awareness of being Brisket the whole time but I also had an awareness of another energy flowing through me.
There's no doubt in my mind that someone will spend them & when that occurs it will be trigger for something profound. I suspect that the quantum computer everyone fears will be biological.

You didn't have to convince me on reincarnation being real. I'd neglected the effects of the yolo, as you say.
Again, for me it points to the importance of Bitcoin as a tool for spiritual alignment & awakening. Bitcoin extends your time horizon & lowers your time preference but it currently caps out at your death. The idea of reincarnation extends this so much further. The harmony, simple joy & peace I've seen among those who live with this reincarnation belief has for a long time baffled me. And then that puzzle piece dropped in for me last night. 🤯
Without Bitcoin I would never have had the time or headspace to even start looking again. I had my first 'dark night of the soul' about 16 years ago (coincidence?) & then largely suppressed it. It wasn't until I found Bitcoin a decade later that I figured out what it was.
The most beautiful thing about Bitcoin is it's aligned incentives.
If you execute on a good idea, you'll likely end up with more Sats while simultaneously increasing the network's power. If it was a bad idea, you'll lose Sats & likely learn a valuable lesson.
It doesn't matter what you focus on but by being on the network, your productivity benefits all others on the network.
Beware of those shitting on the efforts of other people. Beware of those imposing virtuous conditions onto others. It should raise an internal red flag. Bitcoin works because of aligned selfish action, it does not require anyone to put others needs above their own. That is the socialist virus talking.

Listening to nostr:nprofile1qqsp2j0df0n36xnsagku53vke5x9f3s6afy9cmjwt2x2gcm43jvd6jsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7zm45up last night made that very apparent to me.
I had neglected the effect of killing the idea if reincarnation on our society. How many second & third order consequences are effected by putting so much emphasis on this lifetime & neglecting what is eternal.
This is where the Internet was headed before it got co-opted by big tech. The free sharing of both good & useless information eventually leads us to getting to the Truth of it all.
I had most of the knowledge but nostr:nprofile1qqsp2j0df0n36xnsagku53vke5x9f3s6afy9cmjwt2x2gcm43jvd6jsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7zm45up joined the dots for me & filled in some dots I didn't know I was missing. Hearing him reference the nostr plebs who helped him to pull in more pieces of the puzzle showed me Nostr's collaborative power.
It's mind blowing how important Nostr is & is going to be!
Ultimately it's solving the store of value problem that was caused by fiat currency. This is why the monetary premium shifted from hard money (gold) to the things we need to live.
Those things that are needed for our standard of living are not scarce, they're just poorly allocated. Our labour & efforts is as a consequence, are poorly allocated. Our tool (money & free markets) to coordinate our productive efforts has been corrupted to the point where we work to enable others to acquire more stuff that we need. With Bitcoin as our unit of account, that all shifts.
We can't live in a bitcoin or fill our hungry belly's with bitcoin but by it simply existing, it frees up those resources to those that need & value them. Instead of owning farmland as a store of value, it can be used by an entrepreneurial farmer to grow food.
To succeed, bitcoin's purchasing power needs to exponentially increase & continue to increase forever. This doesn't diminish the MoE usecase at all, you will always be able to spend your bitcoin. The more desirable bitcoin is as a SoV, the more likely that someone will be willing to exchange real resources or labour for it. Even if 97% of the supply is locked up, lost or otherwise illiquid, it does not diminish it's ability to be used in trades. Fractions of a sat will be eventually used to buy real resources.
The Harry S Truman quote 'It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.'
changed my career.
I found it on a fortune cookie at a low point in my life & adopted it hard at work.
Everything changed & ironically, the harder I tried to shirk the credit for my work onto others, the more it was pushed back onto me.
The moment I started coding in my sleep was the moment that I realised coding wasn't for me.
I think all but a couple of my 20 odd citrus trees is blooming at once.
It smells incredible. So much buzzing.
Is the air filled with the smell of blossoms?
It's amazing this spring.
Nice barbie area!
I'm sorry, I gave up waiting for it to load.
I didn't know that they still made all newspapers.
🤣
I think it's probably one of the better aspects of inflation.
I don't know who can afford to get drunk at a bar once or twice a week these days.
I've never really looked at them too closely, I mainly just admire their webs.
This thing was weird, like it was camouflaged as bird poo. I wasn't sure it was alive until I poked it.
It does too 🤣
I didn't even notice the smiley face until you pointed it out. Very strange.
It's alive & it moved a little when I poked it.

I've been seeing a baby green frog in my garden every day. I've enjoyed seeing it & took it as a sign a vibrancy. But then in got me wondering are there lots of baby frogs in my garden or I'd it the same frog moving around?

So I started looking for other frogs. I paid special attention to my sick looking cassava plants still waking from winter. They/it seemed to like hanging out on them for some reason, even though it provided little camouflage.
No more frogs but I noticed this strange looking spidery bug that I've never seen before. I was reminded of how special & diverse life is & how labels tend to diminish the mystery somewhat. I'm still keen to know what it's called & how it lives.

Lol - I forgot that my Starlink is broken.
I can't see most images let alone videos.
There are no coincidences.
After seeing a post from Earthmum earlier, i realised i am fully in the same boat.. So im going to make a conscious effort to use nostr more often. Not only Bitcoin focused, but farming too!
So here goes, First post in a while...
Our Oat crop looking amazing this year! Should double what we got off last year!

So you've been sowing your oats have you?
I hope it offers a you a good yield!
Nice to see you using freedom tech

That feeling of being alone comes in waves for me.
You're never alone but I've come to entertain the idea that when that feeling arises, I've taken a position as leader.
Who I'm leading or where I'm going, I couldn't say. It feels less lonely to imagine that there are people following in my path though. It feels comforting knowing that I don't always need to lead, that I can rest when tired.

They're not really pets.
She just has a big python that likes to hang out on her water distiller.
The snakes around here are much more shy.
I was wondering why I had never had this kind of conversion.
Then I remembered that he has really only ever seen a doctor when he broke his arm 12 years ago. The poor dude never really gets sick 🤣
I hope you're not inferring we record it on the Timechain? 🤣🤣
Bitcoin is the correct answer.
We all know this. Some of us can explain why.
How is it possible that most people still can't see what has been so clearly articulated in so many different ways? They need Bitcoin, it's good for everything that they prefer.
They clearly have a belief or definition that prevents them from taking the responsibility that Bitcoin offers.
Same story with the nature of reality. Limiting beliefs or definitions will prevent you from realising certain truths.

Same - still waiting for that fat zap to fuel my NWC zapping.
Looks pretty good so far.

I feel the need to try & dispel the myth the myth that Love 💚 is weakness.
Unconditional love (agape) 💚 is strength.

Wow he's a big boy!
I ordered it in honor of my internet friend nostr:nprofile1qqsfdjrhvhvspvtf7h7a30qeh7tmmrrdzcllg94gn4zuhd72cjxfgvcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0n3njus but it didn't meet expectations. Sad.
Oh bad brisket can be so disappointing.
A lot places will cook it in water because it keeps it moist & prevents burning.
It tends to make it bland though, which I suspect is he case with this one.
Don't give up man, the prefect brisket is only 10hrs away!
I don't know shit about SNL or Toto.
Do you have memories of this event occuring?
Is it a possible Mandela effect?
You're set up. It just looks like Alby is down again.
