Otra foto del río Magdalena.
Another pic over Magdalena river.
Tomé esta foto el año pasado sobre el Río Magdalena, en Barrancabermeja dónde nací pero ya no vivo allí.
El ave es un Alcón Cernícalo y al fondo la división oriental de la cordillera de los Andes.
I took this photo last year over the Magdalena River in Barrancabermeja, where I was born but no longer live there.
The bird is a Kestrel Falcon, and in the background, you can see the eastern division of the Andes mountain range.
A baby sheep is known as a lamb.
I'm living close for this Volcano: it is called Nevado Del Ruiz, 5321 meters over sea🏔️
As I mentioned, I've known about Bitcoin since 2016, but I only have 42 satoshis. The reason? Because I've lost all my Bitcoin... In October 2016, I bought my first fraction of Bitcoin for $300 when BTC was around $600. I bought 0.5 BTC. It was a difficult time for me as my father had recently passed away, and life hasn't been as beautiful since then. But life goes on... I had an online wallet with my private key, but I didn't understand much about how the financial system worked. I came across faucets, "investment pyramids," and "get paid per click" schemes, and I lost almost half of those satoshis to "invest and invite new users" scams. Then came the exchanges, and I was able to sell a portion of my satoshis. I understood the technology well, but I didn't grasp the global financial system or the greed and malice that exist in this space. That's why when the price dropped from 20k to 3k in 2017, I stopped paying attention and focused on other matters.
In 2019, amidst the pandemic, my interest resurfaced as I began to understand more about financial systems and how Bitcoin was a disruptive tool within this system. However, I was in a poor financial situation at that time and couldn't afford to buy Bitcoin. So, I resorted back to the foolish faucets like Freebitcoin (which never allowed me to withdraw what I earned there). In 2020, I was able to reinvest from the little I earned (I live in Colombia, and the minimum wage was less than $300 USD per month). This allowed me to accumulate 0.05 BTC, and I was quite content, but I started getting involved with cryptocurrencies. It's worth clarifying that these 0.05 BTC were held in Binance, meaning they weren't my own keys, nor was it my BTC. I began investing in shitcoins, and I wasn't doing too badly. I never fell for scams; I was very selective. I preferred coins that had their own blockchain and native tokens, so I didn't lose due to scams but rather due to market fluctuations. However, this taught me about financial market analysis. I still didn't fully grasp how these wretched individuals manipulated the market, the countless ways they psychologically manipulate you. I fell for Dogecoin, Shiba, Ripple, and continued losing money. I was a person who, with less than $300 USD per month, would set aside between $50 and $100 from my salary to "lose" it in the rubbish these wretches invented to rob you...
That's how I spent all of 2021 and part of 2022 when I started experimenting with "perpetual futures contracts," and that was the final blow. I messed up with the Terra-Luna crash, the FTX crash (which didn't affect me as much as Luna's, I even bought the dip). In that process, I improved my trading skills a lot, although by that time, I had already lost $1000 USD. And then came 2023... Nowadays, I make around $800 USD, which is a modest income in Colombia, so I was able to "invest more." I managed to accumulate $3000 USD, but as I mentioned before, I was involved in trading perpetual futures contracts, and I wasn't doing bad, but arrogance is a cancer that destroys your ability to be critical. My arrogance, in particular, made me believe that my technique without a "stop loss" blinded me, to the point that I put almost all of my money as collateral for two simple positions... Well, when Gary Gensler started the war against crypto, on a Friday at 9 PM Colombian time (same as New York), I lost everything in 15 minutes, and this time, I felt the biggest disappointment with myself. How could I have been so stupid, naive, and arrogant? I still feel a lot of anger towards myself because I have debts due to an attempt at a face mask business in 2019, which failed, and I have a debt of around $8000 USD. I also feel the frustration of thinking that everything I've tried in life has been a failure, that my life has been a mess since my father died, and that no matter what I try, destiny treats me with contempt... I think emotionally I'm not well, and writing this is my way of releasing that frustration.
I want to learn as much as I can about Nostr because since 2021, I started studying programming. I learned about smart contracts, and I really like these things. I believe Nostr is revolutionary (unlike smart contracts, which are a means through which many wretched individuals steal and harm others). I hope to know enough to attempt something worthwhile. I am a fighter, and I have no other alternative. As long as I'm alive, I will continue fighting. However, my anger and frustration do not drive me to steal from others. I hate those wretched individuals who have become rich by scamming or defrauding others. That's why I want to do something that helps people cooperate instead of going around trampling others.
If you read this and liked it, give me a like, share it. I hope it was worth it.

What's wrong with people who don't follow anybody.... Mom didn't give enough love?
Que pedo con esa gente que no sigue a nadie?
Mamá no les dió suficiente amor?
