As their curiosity grows, the antelope keep getting closer and closer.

Good Sunday!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

Thank you! Have a great weekend.

Some views from yesterday.

Happy Friyay. May your weekend be great.

Oh. I’m on the iOS app but just tried it in Firefox and had sound but I had to unmute it.

It had audio for me.

We are creatures of habit. We don’t like what’s new or different and well, Meta, X, TikTok, and the likes know what to do to addict people. I see someone posted links of videos for you. But I will just add that there is no secret. You can simply go to a search engine and type. “ what is Nostr”. It could be that no one wants to respond to you because they may be very skeptical of you and your intentions just as you may be skeptical. It’s a two-way street . With that said also always do your own research. Search engines are a beautiful thing when doing research. I’m here for social media that isn’t controlled by billionaires. I’m not forced to see what I don’t want to see. Good week to you!

And real content is hidden by the fluff. It’s why I had to leave certain platforms. Why follow people if the major social media hides their content? Let’s go!

Good morning! ☀️ #wildanimals #nature

Happy Sunday and a blessed new week.

For the users who want me to move to their Nostr products or use their verification system:

No thanks and you’re gonna have to pay me more than a handful of sats. 🤣

Let your sun so shine.

Happy Day of the Moms to any moms out there. #MothersDay

Life comes with many ups and downs, but always keep moving.

Thanks! Yes, I believe a social media storm is brewing but sadly we humans are creatures of habit. One person followed me out of one platform but it wasn’t here 😔

In order for Nostr and apps like nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap02g87q0 to become successful, we have to get people here like myself who are not overly focused on Bitcoin. I truly believe social media like this is the way forward whereby no one owns you. Communities built here will be more genuine because there is no centralized monetization. How that happens…I don’t know.

One counterintuitive bad thing about Bitcoin is that it is a far better investment than land.

Real estate prices are inflated by decades of fiat games. Cheap debt. Tax advantages. Mortgages stretched across generations. This early state of bitcoin makes it massively cheaper in comparison.

So yes. If we are talking pure returns, real estate is a shitcoin. Buy Bitcoin.

But here’s where it stops making sense. I see plenty of Bitcoiners who've already won. They've seen massive gains and are financially free in ways that we all dream of. Yet they still live in cities boxed into apartment buildings and subdivisions. They still live inside the system they claim to see through.

Admittedly, I have my own bias here. I grew up on a farm and will never totally feel comfortable living a city life in a way that many people do. But I also fell for the same trap during my 8 years in cities and didn’t appreciate what I had growing up until I came back.

When you’re in the city and think about moving to a small town, you worry about what you will miss. The events. The bars. The endless options. I was afraid of that too and moving home felt like giving something up.

But once I was out, I realized none of it mattered. You stop chasing plans and start actually living.

Many Bitcoiners talk about citadels. About someday buying land. About someday living differently. I get it. Making the leap is expensive. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if my dad hadn’t made it his life’s mission to buy the farm where I was raised. What feels misguided is having that financial option and still choosing to live and raise your kids in their world.

You get eighteen years with them. That’s basically it.

Do you really want those years spent in apartments and crowded parks? Wouldn’t you rather have them outside? On land they can know. In a place they can return to with their kids?

At a certain point, you have to stop looking at your gains as numbers on a screen. You need to turn them into something real. Put down roots. Give your kids a place to know. Buy The Family Land

But we have to be honest, when crap hits the fan, I can grow something on land. It's not about investing. It's about surviving but also living life more abundantly. I'd take proper land of bitcoin any day.
