I really struggle with lying, so filling in these KYC questionnaires from banks and exchanges in the UK where you have to confirm that you invest less than 10% of your net worth in Bitcoin and that you know Crypto is extremely high risk, galls me.

It is forcing me to be dishonest, which no society should do.

Is it right to counter corruption with dishonesty. I don’t know, but all I do know is that I am a lair and I don’t like it.

In one month, I will be turning 25. I really want to make the most of the next 5 years, so that by the time I’m 30, I’m prepared for the next chapter of my life.

If you're 30 or older, what would be the best piece of advice for someone in their late 20s? #AskNostr

Fact: Squirrels can fall from any height because the terminal velocity they reach is not enough to kill them on impact.

Is it ?

Nostr users should interact More with each other through replies or at least reactions when they find something interesting or attention-catching.

Encouraging this makes the place much more lively, & we’re fortunate to have a very interesting group of people here, we should take advantage of that.

CanvaDOTcom just removed a website I've been building to educate on Bitcoin self-custody best practices. Apparently it represents an EU local law violation. I've lodged an appeal and requested clarification of the specific reasons for this.

Remember that all relays are web servers. That means they all have in built ability to store media, which can be turned on or off. Never push media itself to the relay. Relays are for transmitting notes, and other stuf, from one user to another. But all relays, inherit the ability to store media, from the fact that relays are already web servers.

Signing off NOSTR for the next 15 days.

I’ve left my bot in charge.

I trained him in the art of shitposting, In leaving you in good hands 😂

Bitcoin is a public ledger so would be relatively easy for computers to police.

The portable, global nature of Bitcoin is very interesting. If you make capital gains in your own country, it is very difficult to realise those gains in traditional assets outside of your country of origin. You can’t see a house outside of the country and it is difficult to sell shares or commodities outside of your broker.

Yet Bitcoin, and increasingly tokenised assets give you the ability to become a digital nomad and live fluidly anywhere at anytime.

Bitcoin may be part of the solution to removing borders and bringing together humanity like never before.

He's not even on WhatsApp, we have a neighbours WhatsApp, but I have to text him separately 😂

I notice a lot of people can't focus.

We could see the Northern Lights a couple of weeks ago, extremely rare in the south of England. I was outside photographing it. I knocked on my neighbours door to let him know.

He joined me, but was chatting about random gossip he'd heard the other day. I ended up asking him to either focus or go back inside. He apologised.

Today, we have Internet connectivity issues with our ISP, I am attempting to co-ordinate information between our neighbours on WhatsApp. He is again rattling off irrelevant gossip, not at all interested in the issue, while moaning that he can't watch YouTube on his TV.

There's time for gossip and shitposting and there's time for focus.

Few can afford a REAL home now. A place with space - space to learn, space to work, space to relax, space to exercise, space to rest, space to grow, space to host, to bring friends, to play music, to create art, to raise a family.

The best most people can do is afford a small house with little space. Or an apartment, perhaps. A “home” where you can never escape the sights and sounds of your neighbours. A place that can hardly be considered a sanctuary for the body or the soul.

Worse still, most people are reduced to renting. Giving you limited autonomy over your _temporary_ home, and nullifying your ability to truly make it your own.

Were become accustomed to this. We’ve come to accept it as inevitable. The idea of a private place which you are sovereign over, that can become an extension of yourself, an expression of your character, your soul, your dreams and your ambitions, is off the table for most.

That is, unless you can escape the fiat matrix. This is why we Bitcoin. We Bitcoin to take back what is rightfully ours, we Bitcoin to reject the inflationary paradigm that has stripped us of the kind of soulful living that we all yearn for. Bitcoin brings back the dream. And just like the homes we seek sanctuary within, Bitcoin offers us all a true sanctuary from the oppressive regime that has brought us to where we are.

Bitcoin is not just a fight for monetary sovereignty. It’s a fight for our ability to find peace, comfort, joyfulness, and inspiration in the home. It’s a fight for our very soul.
