Some guy on the Mississippi fucking coast just came up to me and said “Are you the Between Two ASICs guy?”

My ego is fucked.

Many of you desire self-sovereignty. Being the master of your own destiny, of not being dependent on evil institutions, or on the benevolence of others is not great. It's a journey and it's not easy.

The biggest and most vulnerable point in your general, overall being is your job. It's the attack vector everyone uses to control you. And you probably instinctively protect yourself... by adopting conventional opinions, by not being too out there, by playing lots of office politics, by dutifully doing what's required of you and blaming someone else when things go wrong.

You're vulnerable in this area because when your income is entirely from one place, you're essentially controlled by that one place. This is how fiat money is used to control you. They can chop off your livelihood in one shot. Thus, they can demand almost anything. And even if you have really good skills, when you switch jobs, you're subject to yet another central controller.

The solution is to decentralize your revenue and not have a single point of failure. Get some side hustles. Figure out how you can make money in lots of little one-offs. When people ask you to do stuff, see if you can sell that as a service.

It's through having lots of customers, and not just one, that you become self-sovereign.

GM. Luck the world today.

I guess. People say they don't care about price, but we're only human. Many don't like seeing red.

They can’t do much but I have to disclose it and no place will hire me yet. Fun

I’d have to stamp it into a steel plate to know what the macrame means. 😢

Fun Fact:

Did you know that by using different knitting techniques on say a scarf, you can encode a 24 word seed phrase into the garment?

You can wear your cold storage across boarders and no one would ever be able to tell except another pro knitter with the decode schema.

I’m staying home now.

For #Zapril let’s stop using likes. 🚫🤙

Zaps are proof of work. You either had to buy those sats or earn them by showing up and posting content.
