How does one wake up unconscious?
This is scary shit… why are you scaring all the kids? And by kids I mean me :)

Just unbelievable in so many ways…I hope we consider modular building when this gets rebuilt…
Does the argument of - “blank” was/is ok because it was/is legal? Like slave owners were/are ok because it was/is legal?
I am not the brightest bulb in the box but this…this concept makes me so BULLISH! Building tech on the premise of not being able to track/trace users is the way it should have always been done! Thank you all-signed-the humble user
What does one do with something like this do you think?
“Back in my day, the kind of shit kids pull these days was rare. Why? Because kids LEARNED in their developmental years, there are negative consequences for poor performance. There are negative consequences for bad behavior. There are negative consequences for demonstrating disrespect, and I don’t mean just a slap on the wrist kind, not just a talking to. Back in my day, teachers would drop 6” thick dictionary books on top of kids heads, or would crack a ruler over their heads or hand for demonstrating poor performance, or bad behavior. Teachers and Parents would discipline their kids, physically to leave a lasting IMPRESSION. When kids know there is an IMPRESSIVE paddling waiting for them if they chose the wrong decision…… he or she will think long and hard to prevent from doing something stupid……. it makes you think twice. Then, if after thinking twice, you still don’t know what the right decision is, you should seek out other peoples opinions. As an example, You kids never asked me if it was a good idea to hang the bunk bed ladder on the front entrance door of our new house, and climb on it like a bunch of monkeys….so I left you with an impressive lasting impression about what happens when you don’t think twice. Guess what…… you guys never did it again. Had I just said, “now, that wasn’t very nice, it really wasn’t a good idea, see all the veneer pealed off the door, now the house has less value, and I hardly make enough money to feed us all, let alone replace the damaged door, …..so please don’t do it again……ok?” Give me a break! you wouldn’t think twice about potential, detrimental consequences, the next time you encountered having to make a decision.
Now don’t take me wrong and think I think there are not smart kids out there……. I believe there are quite a few who catch on quickly and can determine right from wrong with little to no discipline required ,……but with my kids, it just took a few more impressions before they were able to catch on. You can thank your mom’s side of the family for that. Some people simply are slow learners.
So, do I owe you an apology? Hell No! Do I think you should be thankful for having raised you the way I did, to become a respectful, law abiding citizen, contributing to society in a positive way? Hell yes! Do I think I will ever hear that from you? Hell no!……. But that’s ok, ……everyone lives in their own universe within the greater universe. We can look at the same identical thing, and see 2 totally different things. It is how the universe was made.”
Why aren't we changing our incentive structures to better represent the Bitcoin Standard... we should be sharing future price appreciation with our "customers" vs. giving them a discount in the FIAT price to incentivize them to communicate the agreed upon value of our goods or services with them?
Gotta figure out how to accelerate the demonetization of real estate
Well it’s hard to put a solid description to it but in my experience it seems like two people can just connect in such a way that nothing can separate you…no amount of space or time…you still feel that being within you. It’s possible that it’s a bio-chemical combination of some sort with a dollop of emotional memory? Of course I am not an expert by any means but there certainly just seem to be other beings that we can connect with more than others? What do you think? Is there such a thing? Have you ever experienced what I described?
Prolly not but…I definitely think there are connections people can develop with one another that are deeper than we understand. I think those connections are just so deep it feels supernatural but it’s prolly just some bacteria poo that draws us to one another?
Coolio… I have heard of God and even studied about a couple of them a little bit - I just can seem to wrap my head around them. Not trolling here…really just find it deeply interesting to learn about people’s beliefs. I know it is a lot to go into but I am curious what you mean by “duty” - are you talking like your faith in God or is there more?
Hope you get it all straightened out soon :)
I’m having such an incredible time here in Madeira.
I’ve been working out every day, eating lots of delicious meat, fish and vegetables and doing 100 pushups a day to $100K.
I have rarely travelled to Bitcoin/Nostr events but that’s about to change.
It’s so great to be surrounded by Bitcoiners. I’m actually coming back from this trip in better shape mentally and physically. I’ve lost 3 lbs of fat while I’ve been here for 8 days and I’ve been waking up at 5-6 am.
I’ve gotten so many positive messages from people I met for the first time at the conference and side events, surprisingly many even listen to my podcast 😅
I’m going to record an episode for the first time in 5 months tomorrow with nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft who really surprised me when he said he was a fan of my pod and encouraged me to record again 😀
Some exciting belly to belly things happening here with FREE Madeira, Sovereign Engineering, lots of bitcoin folks have moved here, and it’s no wonder why.
Plus what a great location it was for the Bitcoin Film Festival & the Startup Pitch Fest which I got to participate in!
I’m lucky to be in a position to have such a close proximity to people like nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a and nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 who I consider close friends and advisors as well as co-investors in great bitcoin companies.
Also got some great 1 on 1 time with people I look up to a lot like nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z who gave me a great framework of thinking about how to be a good leader and focus on delegation and taking responsibility.
A great cliff side sunset walk with nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg which I’ll never forget, and a protein packed Damus BBQ with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and his family & friends discussing webs of trust and nostr redaction.
I got a great sauna session in with nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr and his son Marko discussing overcoming fears and limiting beliefs, health and the future.
I have missed many opportunities and offers in the past couple of years because I had a “ceiling of complexity” … but because of my new daily health & mental level-up routine, i am choosing nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe's PICNUF framework to focus on the positive.
I also hired a coach, Dan Martell, and I’m fired up! I was talking to Aleks Svetski and he said he could feel my shifted energy 😀
I’m going to build a team and build my citadel (figuratively for now) and be more proactive about expanding my impact to help lift up my community, my family and as many startup founders and bitcoin culture contributors that I can.
I went through a thought exercise in January- if BTC was at $1 million tomorrow, would I be able to build an actual citadel? The answer was no. So I’ve been making big changes in my life to make sure I am the person who can building a citadel one day.
Who can? Brad Mills Can 😀
I also got a chance to briefly shake hands with (but not yet spend any time with) nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m who have inspired me greatly over the last few years.
Saylor’s “cheerful and constructive” message has been in the back of my mind as a self correcting mechanism for how I interact with bitcoin critics and shitcoiners.
Jacks commitment to right the karmic scales and be a net positive for freedom and free speech has inspired me to invest in many educational and bitcoin tech companies in Africa and Latin America - which surprisingly, Jack followed on to 2 or 3 of them in later rounds, showing I am on to something with my investing strategy.
I shook hands with and/or hugged and spent time with or broke bread with many many awesome people, and a bunch I wish I got to spend more time with.
I have a massive list of selfies with beautiful people and notes on the exciting things they are doing.
I’m going to start going to more of these events so I can develop closer relationships with all of you who are my tribe!
Excited to also be spending time with my wife and daughter while I’m here, because my wife is Portuguese and I’d love for us to get passports!
Thought I would share my positive thoughts as I’m driving to the west side of the island to see 15 foot waves 🌊
Sounds like you have had and are having quite the transformational time there. I am happy to read about the changes-it shows me at least-that there is hope-if you can change, we all can change. Of course the proof of work takes time so I look forward to being a witness to your transformation or at least as much as I can from my cheap seat :) STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS
I just want to say-I love all us crazy psychopaths-yes even you! I don’t know who you all are or what you are doing but if you are in this space, and believe even a portion of what #Bitcoin is doing and what it will do…then I honestly am proud that you are a part of it.
No one is going to welcome you and few are going to express much of anything (and that is 100% ok) but we all share a common bond and a common belief that we (as human beings) can and are better than the shitstorm we have been living in! All you builders, devs, entrepreneurs etc… thank you for breaking the trail and letting little old me ride on your coattails! I only hope I can provide value other than my dirty fiat cuckbucks cuz all my dollars prove is that I live on less than produce and that is something we all should be doing!
When the kids are small they know it all!!
