The Moneyless Man is a non-fiction autobiographical account of Mark Boyle’s experiment in living without money for a full year.

Boyle was a former businessman who chose to reject money to reconnect with basic human needs, community, and nature. The book combines storytelling with practical observations, philosophical reflection, and tips for a simpler, less money-dependent life.

Boyle grew increasingly critical of consumerism and the environmental and social harms caused by the modern monetary system. Believing that money shaped human relationships and distorted priorities, he decided to live entirely without spending or using money for a year to test whether a fulfilling life was possible outside the #economy.

Before beginning, he made a few one-off purchases — like a solar panel, a bike, and a wood-burning stove — to enable a self-reliant life. He closed his bank accounts and committed himself to relying instead on ingenuity, nature, human generosity, and barter.

One of the deepest lessons Boyle describes is a renewed trust in people;

Without money as an intermediary, he had to ask, trade, negotiate, share, and cooperate, which deepened local human connections. He found community support was often more reliable than any bank account.

Beyond the diary narrative, Boyle explores why money dominates modern life.

He argues that money alienates humans from nature, community, and meaning.

Money creates artificial #scarcity and competition, discouraging #cooperation and increasing #isolation.

A moneyless trial shows that many human needs are social and ecological rather than financial.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who has supported me this year—whether through purchasing my art and/or through kind words, emails, and comments.

Without you, I wouldn't be able to pursue drawing Bitcoin as a self-employed artist to this extent.

Hopefully you will continue to enjoy my work in the coming year, I have been working on a big artwork for some time now.

With this in mind, may you have a few wonderful days with your loved ones.

kiddo wants steak all the time HAS HE NOT SEEN CURRENT PRICES?!?! Unreal.

If worth is subjective, of what importance is proof-of-work ?

If he was so skillful that it took only a few minutes to make a beautiful and unique carving, would it be worth any less?

Video is taking a long time to load.

A suggestion; it helps to compress videos before uploading

( social media platforms do this automatically, but very few of the Nostr clients do it)

I use inshot to compress my videos

If you have any questions about the protocol or need help with anything the asknostr hashtag is useful.

It can take time to learn how everything works around here, the best way to be seen by other accounts is through interaction, commenting on other people's notes so their followers can see you exist.

Don't worry about follower counts, half the time they aren't accurate anyway, likes don't matter here either.

"We are all Satoshi" artwork I created several years ago depicted one of the most important scenes from the early history of Bitcoin in chronological order. The old testament 🙌🏻

We've got slow cooked beef tasters which every dog can smell and drag their owners over 🤣
