I’m an artist living in Florida but I also have ties to Taiwan. I do oil paintings and tie dye shirts.

There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.

To some 'Bitcoiners', I’m not 'Bitcoin' enough as if that’s even a real thing. Like being called progressive or feminist is supposed to be an insult. LOL.

And then every time I go back in my hometown, like last night, I get called a conspiracy theorist. Even for talking about the most basic bitcoin stuff (like the fact that dollars is not pegged by gold) 😭 and this happens a looot even on my social media

The truth is that nothing messes with your head like realizing that EVERYTHING you’ve been told about one of the most fundamental things (money) was wrong… and THEN suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people who also question the moon landing and whether sunscreen is even useful 🥲

But let me tell you something.

And I’m saying this to myself too. It’s fine. It’s all fine.

People are always trying to put you in a box. You’re either woke or delusional, feminist or comunist, sheep or lunatic. The financial system is a huge scam yes, but I don't question literally everything else. I drink wine and eat carbs on a daily basic and fuck yeah. The truth is, I live in the middle. And I’m OK with that. I absolutely love my life the way it i.

Being in the middle is what makes me human. It’s what allows me to see nuance. It’s what makes life richer, messier, and full of meaning. Also, I'm surrounded be so many and SO DIFFERENT people, I could never close myself up in my own world or diet.

I don't know in which point you are in this bitcoin journey but don’t be afraid to stand in between. Between two fires, two colors, two truths. Because that’s exactly where things start to make sense.

It’s good to question everything but that doesn’t mean you have to accept every alternate theory. Sometimes you question long-held beliefs and find that they were valid all along.

After I started using Strike to instantly convert my paycheck into Bitcoin, unfortunately, Bitcoin started crashing. I kept it up until recently I changed it to DCAing 1/14th off my pay daily (I get paid every two weeks. Now Bitcoin is in a tear going up so fast. I now changed the recurring purchase to hourly. Maybe that will be better.

Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get me.

We don’t harvest oranges by hand in Florida. We have machines that do it.

Zap if you like pulled pork?

What other nostr apps do you use? Is there one that is more like Instagram and less like Twitter?

Is there a widget that connects to a lightning wallet, or is that just from a text message?

I’m great. How about you?
