#Bitcoin only, financially illiterate psychopath. NIP-65 advocate, grower of plants, roaster of coffee, noser of whisky, tinkerer of technology.

I've noticed this happening a little more frequently with a few services I use.

Finding your first pubes allowed you to transfer value entirely peer-to-peer without any middleman or central authority? That's wild!

Bitcoin is halal.

Oman’s Bold Bitcoin Play: $1.1 Billion Investment On Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure

"Given Oman's conservative nature and its emphasis on Islamic law, introducing a concept as disruptive as bitcoin mining required significant deliberation. But after rigorous regulatory discussions that started back in 2019, the government of Oman eventually found bitcoin to be in line with Islamic law, accepting the modern innovation into Oman's deep-rooted traditions."

I really recommend Mammal Hands, Matthew Halsall and Hania Rani.

Try to take a few steps to un-brainwash yourself.

They can't tell us what to think, but they can tell us what to think about. And within that small corridor, they can establish a good vs evil narrative. This warps your world view, no matter what "side" you are on.

In reality, there are no "sides".

So how do you stay sane in an insane world?

- Don't engage when you get emotionally triggered, and don't come to sudden conclusions about "current things" that you are not well versed in. You don't always have to have a strong opinion about stuff.

- Stop consuming content from channels that have a proven track record of psychological nudging such as corporate media, statist communication, and centralised social media.

- Curate your feed. Treat your mind how you treat your body. Don't feed your brain with constant garbage.

- Don't believe authoritative sources. Always try to get the full picture, instead of just leaning on one source, such as government, academia, or other institutions. Always ask for verification and proof.

- Cultivate and rely on strong bedrock principles, then you are less easily swayed by nonsense, fear and other feelings. Develop your inner compass.

- Choose what you want to focus on, consciously, for your long-term mental and physical health.

Lastly, someone said, if you get angry about something or someone; wait 24 hours until you respond. If you are still angry after 24 hours, then you can engage in a more conscious way.

I'm not perfect, and I'm constantly make mistakes, and its part of the journey. Failing is the greatest teacher.

💯

Everyone should read this and consider whether they need to make some tweaks to their news feed. When your feed becomes polluted, figure out where it's coming from and ask yourself whether you need that source, or if you can rely upon your other followers to highlight anything of value that might come from them.

Something unusual happened today. I bought the dip and the price of Bitcoin went... Up? I swear this has never happened before.

nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c and I re-wrote NIP-65 to make it easier to implement. Amethyst will be moving to the "Gossip model" as soon as we finish this Private DM/Group workstream.

Then we say goodbye to the old infrastructure that centralizes in large relays.

Together with nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 's new relaying.io service, we can finally start claiming a healthier decentralization in Nostr.
