Genuinely curious - why are you here?
This is so cool! nostr:note1we89dpepzyp640zylsl2aaq9flc4d58dwe7wf40k5tpmkh86whzqj5ls52
It’s easier to be content with your ‘lot’ when you have Bitcoin and thus feel secure in the knowledge that your government isn’t stripping you of your stored energy whilst you sleep.
No excuses Jack, you just need a really good jacket and some waterproof boots and then get out there.
🤣yeah, the parenting bits I screw up, I figure are either helping my kids build resilience or giving their screwed adult selves someone to blame or better still something to work on.
I wouldn’t be half the person I am today if my parents had been great parents.
I sometimes wonder if trying to be a great parent is doing my kids a disservice.
Hard to say as the bad parenting model either makes or breaks the kids. It made me but it broke my brothers.
I think it could make my daughter even more awesome but it could break my son… but then again, if my hubby and I were lousy parents it could provide an opportunity for my son to step up and shine.
I’m sure you mean well but communism is an impractical ideal just as unconditional love is. The reality is if you add humans you can’t have true communism or true unconditional love. Humans are animals and thus we are innately wired to act like animals. For an individual to fight against that is both incredibly noble and naive at the same time. To imagine a group of individuals in a community, other than a monastery (but even there I have my doubts), is only, naïve.
When Buddha said, “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional” he was referring to humans’ propensity to attempt to rebel or fight against ‘what is’. It is far wiser to accept us as we are, animals, prone to animalistic behaviour.
What I mean by this is, we are innately wired to look after ourselves and our loved ones ahead of all others and if that means to the detriment of all others, when push comes to shove, so be it.
Please explain?
Thank you but only time will tell… I’ll get back to you on 20-30yrs 🤣. Thank goodness as a bitcoiner and a parent, I have long time horizons.
My 12yo son made me so proud yesterday. He’s recently started his first job as a soccer referee. There was a qualification required which involved a course fee and some travel to get to and from the games.
He decided from his first pay check that he’d use 1/2 his weekly pay to pay us back for the course fee/petrol etc (aka job related expenses) and the other half as spending money. 1st proud parenting moment.
A couple of months ago he said, once expenses are paid off he’ll start using the other half of his pay to buy BTC. 2nd proud parenting moment.
Yesterday he came to me with $20 and asked me to arrange his first purchase with an ongoing set up for weekly BTC purchases. Parenting Job DONE!
OK, maybe I’m ready to mic drop prematurely, nonetheless, this is a pretty cool parenting moment.
Ha… same childhood experience same parenting outcome. My mum used to say, “because why is a crooked letter and a Is no better” it infuriated me. So I promised myself that I’d always give clear and detailed explanations to my kids for everything they ever asked about… they stopped asking pretty quickly 🤣 … maybe clear and ‘concise’ not ‘detailed’ was the correct way to go. 🤷♀️
Oh Yessir ! I am a happy customer 🤙
That’s some GREAT parenting right there folks. We should all take a moment to take our kids fishing for the day.
Where did you get that grate? Would love something like that for my outdoor fireplace.
Hi there, I found this podcast with Gigi really interesting as to why PoS can never achieve true decentralisation. Thought you might enjoy it. This podcast was the first time I’d heard it explained this way.

Well said and thank you. Too much in-fighting, time to focus our energy where the real tasks lay… and I don’t mean trash talking Twitter.
Building and Educating is the way. This is a race, all energies are best focused on the task at hand not trash talking and trying to trip up the other runners.
Why am I running in this race? I’m running for a peaceful transition. To achieve this outcome I am helping people, to quote #Jeff Booth “cross the bridge” and in so doing I’m helping build the bridge.
Why are you running?
Haven’t seen many red backs this year or last but it should have been 2 excellent years for them. Hot and Wet.
How about #nAUStriches? I here they’re a wild bunch!
👍 It’s always a good day to chop firewood.
Curious about your background image with the firepit and an outback bar behind it. Looks like a great spot to wet one’s whistle. Mind if I enquire where it is?
Yesterday life flowed, today life is flowing and tmw life will flow, the only question is, “Will I flow with or against it?”
It seems like a no brainer to surrender and go with the flow yet it occurs to me that I often find myself fighting so hard against it. Is my ego so out of control that I think I know better than life?
Hmmm, maybe it is time for another experiment in surrender?
