we’re in Vienna, Austria and saw earlier this week on the nostr:nprofile1qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tck28qzu that a restaurant close by accepted Bitcoin.
we’ve been thinking about this all week. this moment to take part in making Bitcoin a market of exchange- being a part of the change.
when Brett came to me a few months ago and told me about Bitcoin, my first question was, “Yea but how do you use it?”. I had doubts. I wasn’t sure it was “usable”.
seeing it in action tonight is something I’ll never forget.
using Bitcoin is real and possible.
(oh, and the burger was pretty amazing. 🍔)

first picture: me in 2022.
my last day of my teaching career after putting in 5 years of hard work. 5 years of endless IEP meetings, feeling stuck inside buildings, holding stress from administration and parents, & never feeling like I was doing what I was meant to do.
I was told in college, “You should just be a teacher so you can have summers off to be with your kids”.
this was the narrative I believed and chose to move forward with.
fast forward to me today: I don’t have kids, I live out of two backpacks, I don’t own my own house or car, I travel the world with my husband caring for other people’s homes and pets, & my passion for opting out of the system is stronger than ever.
it’s funny to look back and realize that I always had a deep-down feeling that something was off, that something wasn’t right… I just couldn’t see it at the time.
I think past me would be really proud of today me. 🤍

the first thing I do when waking up is:
✨open the windows
✨fluff the sheets and comforter
✨let all the light and breeze in
sunlight and fresh air rejuvenates and brings energy into indoor spaces.
the closer we can be to nature, the better. 🌿🦋☀️

when my husband first came to me and mentioned he was orange pilled, I thought he was losing his mind.
5 months later and I’ve definitely been #orangepilled.
so thankful to be losing our minds together. ;)
Not yet but I have it bookmarked! Thanks for sharing!!
grounding and getting sunshine listening to nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpramhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0v3jhyatwdejhyuewdejhgam0wf4sz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehkuumpw3ejummjvuguwcl8 on What Bitcoin Did.
what a good feeling it is that time is not being wasted when learning about Bitcoin.
“Most people are spending their time complaining about the current system while it’s getting stronger. Instead, all they have to do is move their time to Bitcoin and they’re repricing all of the current system”.
Currently listening to nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe and George Gammon and it’s time I stop feeding chatGPT & start working with open source.

Here’s what ChatGPT gave me to get started. Anyone have any tips or alternative suggestions?!!!
TY!
“Here’s a tailored plan to help you create a self-managed business with a private, secure, decentralized AI agent that assists over the next few years:
⸻
Phase 1: Set Up Your Local AI Agent
Recommended Stack
1. LLM Backend:
• Use LM Studio with models like Mistral 7B, Nous Hermes 2, or OpenChat 3.5
• Local install = fully private and offline
• Supports OpenAI-compatible API so you can integrate tools easily
2. Agent Framework:
• Use CrewAI or LangChain Agents
• They allow you to define roles, memory, tasks, and workflows
• You can run agents like:
• Business Strategist
• Content Creator
• Automation Manager
• Privacy Watchdog
3. Optional Tools & Memory
• ChromaDB or Weaviate for long-term memory (knowledge retention)
• Simple File I/O tools for automation or note-keeping
• Browserless / Puppeteer for automating secure web tasks
⸻
Phase 2: Define the Business Mission + AI Roles
Your AI can help you design a business based on your values:
Examples:
• A privacy-first consulting service
• A niche content/media business (Bitcoin, sovereignty, health, etc.)
• A decentralized product or education brand
• An artisan ecommerce brand (with automated product + customer management)
Agent Roles:
• Research Agent: Scans open datasets, local files, or feeds
• Strategy Agent: Helps you roadmap income streams and prep for uncertainty
• Marketing Agent: Writes, plans, and schedules posts (even via scripts)
• Security Agent: Flags privacy issues or automation risks
You can train or prompt these agents with your principles (e.g., avoid SaaS, no surveillance, only open-source tools).
⸻
Phase 3: Future-Proofing Goals
Your agent can help with:
• Risk planning: Economic trends, AI shifts, real-world prep
• Skill growth: Teach yourself new open tools or crypto skills
• Privacy audits: Review software and accounts
• Income defense: Develop offline or P2P income models
You could even design your AI to run self-hosted services:
• Blog or newsletter via Ghost or Hugo
• Ecommerce via BTCPay + Shopify Lite or WooCommerce
• Matrix or Nostr identity management
• Full crypto stack: Sparrow Wallet, SeedSigner, node monitoring
⸻
Phase 4: Deployment & Habits
• Host on your daily driver laptop or dedicated machine
• Regular check-ins with your AI for:
• Weekly review
• Action steps
• Security scans
• System backups
Use Tauri, Node-RED, or a custom UI if you want a lightweight dashboard for your agent.”

Im gonna be watching the comments! Been thinking this same thing and would love to hear what others are doing.
I was homeschooled from Grade 5 until I graduated! Went to a co-op for high school but I loved being homeschooled. 🙌🏼
as I’m stepping more into this online space, I’m really reflecting on value and conviction.
instead of following fads and mindlessly getting stuck in the scroll, I’m finding myself looking in to see the world outside of me.
thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyv37pcm for creating this amazing tool to help create a better world.
here’s to more mindful, intentional living. 🌿🦋🐄☀️🪲🤍✨
we’re currently in Austria pet sitting this sweet girl, Ivy.
we love watching for squirrels.
reality of house and pet sitting:
sometimes you have to jump over the neighbors fence to get the dog from eating a hedgehog.
sorry to the neighbors listening to us scream “Aus” in very bad German.
Aww I love this!! These are growing at the house we’re housesitting for and I can’t get over them. So beautiful.
We’re super thankful and love sharing the opportunity with others. 🙌🏼
Good question! We have remote jobs so we’re able to be on the road/flexible with where we go and when. For housesits, we usually plan 4-5 months in advance!
Thank you! Excited to be in this space and sharing this opportunity!
🤍 thank you Juls! It’s such a fun way to meet people and travel the world.
It’s the best way to travel and meet people! Have you tried house or pet sitting before?
