To some degree. There are those of us trying as well. Since square launched I'm trying to ask local businesses to accept, as well as trying to visit those that have made the change.
Best bitcoin/lightning shops for Xmas shopping? #nostr
I work in tech, as data engineer/data scientist. For people that have successfully moved into bitcoin jobs, whatās the best way to achieve this? #jobs
Maybe, or itās an incentive response to a broken system and/or years of that system breaking down. I love my kids and hope I would have had them even if I was poor, but I canāt say for sure.
Fellow parents, great shows for young kiddos (4 and up)? They watch tuttles and all sorts of Disney nonsense. Other recommendations? #parents

"The perfectly chewy cookie with the addition of my personal favorite, pistachios.
Pistachio Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
2 ¾ cups/357g all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon/6g baking powder
½ teaspoon/2g baking soda
1 tablespoon/9g corn starch
¼ teaspoon/2g salt
1 cup butter/226g butter, room temperature
¾ cup/150g brown sugar (if you want more sweet you can add 1/4 cup more brown sugar)
½ cup/100g granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups unsalted or raw Turkish pistachios, coarsely chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 oz/113 g semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, corn starch, and salt and set aside. In a large bowl or base of a stand mixer, add butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. One at a time, beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until combined well. Add pistachios, half of the chocolate pieces, and chocolate chips and stir until just incorporated. Using a 3-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet and press the remaining chocolate pieces on the top of the cookie balls. Cover the balls with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or until the oven preheats.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Remove the balls from the refrigerator and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 5 to 6 cookie balls onto the prepared sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until lightly golden brown. Or if you kept in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, bake 14-16 min, but donāt overbake! Remove from the oven. Using oven mitts, hold the baking sheet and tap/drop it on the counter firmly a few times to make the cookies a little flatter and then let them cool for 10-20 min. Serve with coffee while they are still a little warm.
Bon appƩtit!
šyou can bake the remaining cookies in 5 to 6 batches or you can put the remaining chilled/formed balls into a ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer until use. Whenever you want them, remove from the freezer and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-16 min."

Great video. The key is to have a long term mindset. If you donāt have enough Bitcoin to completely go off grid and retire and do WHATEVER YOU WANT then spending or selling your bitcoin shouldnāt even cross your mind. Every sat spent to me is another year longer Iāll have to work when Iām older. I do not want that, I donāt want my Time taken from me. Itās all in the mindset, folks.
You can just do things.

So Nostr and Zaps are only for the financially free?
For all the creators and builders out there, this one is inspiring. How it connects to bitcoin is that bitcoin gives people the space to grab ideas when they come. Imagine a world where everyone is able to ideate and create with their full potential, I canāt wait!
One of my favorite explanations of deflation and abundance:
I guess thatās true, Iām so focused on the audience building but maybe thatās not the right perspective
Reasons why I should spend more time here than X?
GM! There are so many, who has time to try them all!
People donāt like new ideas, they just like to see and parrot what they already know
I try not to have heros exactly for that reason. Iāll check out his other stuff.
Every now and then I find a Christian banger

Agreed. Seems like a lot of apathy towards the project and what it can do long-term.
Why do the bitcoin OGs sell so much? Why donāt they borrow against their stacks? Do they not fully understand what they have?
