Wall Street wants to take your #bitcoin and wrap it in fiat for a quick profit.

Don’t let them have it.

Canceled my fancy blue check on the X, though I will greatly miss the ability to edit my tweets. 😂

Hoping to devote more time here on the true bird app.

Thanks to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe for the encouragement to help build a better (and freer) world.

Onwards.

Mark this:

As the world transitions from government fiat currency to #Bitcoin, we will see a major (albeit slow) shift from prosperous and powerful governments to prosperous and powerful humanity.

Great take, Guy. 🔥 nostr:note1w83lp6m0p8w3fefr94n67hv0sas56dzgqeql8rkyhl9whg72d9yq0nlvlj

I’m stoked to start working as a radiologist (teleradiology) again on August 1st after a nearly two year sabbatical!

Back to two careers, baby.

Why?

A pending new hire at my RIA will allow me to step away from day-to-day operations, compliance, investor relations, etc. … allowing me to focus on things I love: investing, teaching, and working as a physician.

Poor kid.

He’ll figure it out eventually.

Every year, I spend 1-2 months living in Egypt. This is because my husband is originally from Egypt, his family is much larger than mine, and so while our economic base is in the US, our social base is actually in Egypt. I thus became multinational many years ago.

However, my husband spends 3-4 months each year in Egypt, while I only spend 1-2 months there. So, there are 1-2 months where I’m in the US alone. The reason I choose to do this is to look after the household and business, and because I’m not as productive in Egypt (inconsistent internet, less optimal workstation, way more social pressures, and so forth).

In some ways, we find that spending some time apart strengthens our relationship and lets us focus on our separate things for part of the year. And when we meet after 1-2 months, it’s such a great reunion. We find ourselves wanting to catch up on so much and spend extra time together. But also, even though in some ways I look forward to having time alone and indeed get a lot done during that time, I immediately regret it once I am alone. I find myself constantly looking forward to going to Egypt, as I am now. During these periods, I end up posting more on social media, either constructively or non-constructively, in what tends to be a replacement for diminished in-person contact.

This seems to be amplified by my work situation. When I was an engineer, I worked with colleagues in person each day, but now that I work from home, my colleagues are virtual and I meet them in person only at major events. So, this relatively brief window each year of being in a different place than my husband tends to be oddly monk-like, with me at home alone 24 hours per day, working and living and doing whatever I do. I think one of my future goals will be to increase my deliberate effort at spending time with local friends, especially during this part of the year.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of “real thoughts” uniquely on Nostr, and this is the first one.

Conclusion: Social circles are (obviously) a very important thing, including for workaholics and introverts like myself. Social circles affect us in various ways, and having gone through many cycles, I have become increasingly aware of the changes that take place during these seasonal cycles of being close to others vs far from others.

I’ve been coming to the same conclusions recently, Lyn. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I love the fact that nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0 is on Nostr. Much love. Please support her.

There is no clearer real-world proof-of-work than MMA.

Followed!

Thanks for the heads up, Lyn. 🤝

You do you, but this is how I think about it:

Work as many jobs as necessary...

To stack as many sats as possible...

While #bitcoin is dirt cheap (less than $70k).

Anyone have thoughts on River.com … good or bad?

More Bitcoin hugs. Less crypto rugs.

The US dollar decreases your purchasing power over time, because that’s what the US dollar network is designed to do.

#Bitcoin increases your purchasing power over time, because that’s what the Bitcoin network is designed to do.

Choose wisely.
