It must be such a tough time for you Stu. ❤

I recently came across this article about spontaneous remission of cancer patients. I found this fascinating and I've always believed a fever should be allowed to run its course without modern medical intervention. I've lived by this approach for almost 20 years but I never realised I could be protecting myself from cancer in the process.

If your mother does catch an infection in the next few months, which causes a fever, encourage her to not intervene with modern medical intervention. Let the fever run its course. The results might be life changing. 🙏

Regardless of what happens in the next few months, your mother's choice to not undergo chemo is brave and wise. I would want my last days to be able to spend time and enjoy my last days with my family and friends. My heart goes out to you, your mother, and your family. ❤

Fascinating 🤔

I can definitely confirm Amthyst and Primal work on pixel 7a (graphene). I know a friend who has pixel 6a (graphene), so I could ask him to install Amthtst / Primal to see if works.

That would be next level! 💥

Yes, there is a stark contrast between crypto influencers/ bitcoin only. You are right difference can be as much as 20 times in terms of followers.

I do keep an eye on crypto stuff, but most of the crypto channels, I can't bear to watch, many of them are really pretty bad.

The only crypto / alt im seriously considering to buy in the future is Monero. Last few months I've realised bitcoin privacy issue might be problematic and privacy is important if establishment try to come after you. I'm still seriously bullish on bitcoin. And I think lightning and other strategies could be used with bitcoin to resolve privacy issue. Hard to predict how things could play out in the future. I've also not done enough research into monero to understand it fully.

It would be interesting, if monero becomes big enough and establishment try to ban it, this would be a good case study to look at, because its possible establishment could come after bitcoin afterwards. As they say bitcoin can't be banned, similarly I don't believe Monero can be banned either.

I think keeping your channel bitcoin only is good. There are some interesting ideas in crypto sector, but its 99% crap, even so called good projects seem pretty shit, 1% are too difficult to clearly find.

One thing I would say, when something gets too big, it often gets taken over, without even realising. And the core message gets lost. So when you say you wish you had more followers, be careful what you wish for.

But I agree you could atleast have 10 times the followers you currently have, and still stay true to the core message.

I've been looking at potential countries I might want to move to. Although uk budget wasn't as bad as it could have been I'm still interested in getting out UK, don't necessarily agree with current direction. All the countries I've come across, the pattern is they are all small countries. Its almost like when a country gets too big, it gets corrupted or taken over. The core message gets lost. Similarly same seems to apply to groups, organisations, or even a youtube channel. So I wonder why this is?

Sorry Brian I've gone off on one again.

Yeah its a good aim to have to grow your subscribers, you could certainly be much bigger before having to worry about losing your core message and being overtaken so to speak. If I think of any suggestions will let you know.

You are a pleasure to watch Brian its a good format you've created, you great in my book 👍

Nice video Joe, good continuation of the last one. 👍. Private jet! You living the life. 🤴

Nice show yesterday Brian. I was was thinking what makes your show so good. I reckon its your laid back approach, I can just relax and catch up on bitcoin related news. Cheers man!

Yeah its full on deliberate intentional. It has an uneasy nasty feel to it, yet they do it anyway. I think the only explanation is that they can't feel what we feel. Or don't feel it. If they felt what we felt, then it isn't possible to behave in such a way. They wouldn't do it. That's my only explanation that makes even the slightest sense. You could argue that they do it to achieve a certain goal no matter what the cost. But whatever way you look at it, it's a form of detachment, emotional disconnection. Nasty way to live

🥺

😎That's cool.

Nice well done man!

What are you planning to do with the extra time?

Have fun, appreciate things around you, enjoy spending time with important people, friends, family. 😉

I recently started exploring parts of Wolves, that to my surprise I was totally unaware of. Lived here all my life, and I'm a little shocked taken back by how much I've taken for granted of things very near me.

I bet its similar where you live too.

Congrats! Enjoy your semi retirement and don't get too hammered.

Hi Cahlen, good to see a video. Was wondering your nostr feed looked quiet last few weeks. Enjoyed the video. Nice work finding the new land rv, having option to stay in doors bed roof I imagine is nice.

Have you thought about making your own compost, I did this a few years ago with good results. It will help grow food thats more resilient to pest, more nutritious veg etc.

Soilfoodweb is excellent resource

https://www.soilfoodweb.com/

You can make compost as quick 6 weeks, I've done in 8 weeks. I've even made compost in the UK during the winter. Once compost is made it ms usually good for 6 months.

Its about having the mix of correct raw material, greens / leaves / woodchips / manure / etc. if you interested let me know i can help explain how it works. And soilfoodweb encourages no dig method principle. Basically the more we dig and disturb the soil, the more damage it does to fertility of soil long term. Try growing foods that grows every year with little or no tilling/digging.

Beans have to be planted every year, so can't avoid some disturbance of soil.

Jerusalem artichokes are excellent, food in ground you can harvest when required.

The key is too have a variety of veg you are growing. If one harvest fails, then another will most likely flourish. Its rare, I'd say next to impossible for everything to fail at once.

Eg. If you grow potatoes, grow variety of different potatoes, if blight gets one variety, it won't get the other variety and so you will always have food. Irish potatoe famine happened because they became reliant on a few types of potatoes and when blight hit their food source was wiped out. With planning you can mitigate effects of poor harvest and its never a problem.

Not sure water system you use, pipe you showed. Is the water rain water or water from ground? Or are you using water thats been treated? Ideally rainwater or ground water is good. Don't want to use tap water treated with chemicals. Etc. This will effect long term quality of soil.

Good luck with it, I hope you do continue making videos.

Unfortunately I think it can feel abit unforgiving making so many videos and not get back. Its time consuming and takes alot of energy, but don't underestimate it takes only a handful of connections with the right people, the impact this will have on others and how others will affect you makes it all worth it. Sometimes can be difficult to measure usefulness.

Hang in there man. 💛

So true and crypto voice can be very loud, the number of people I've come across who have bought crypto but don't own bitcoin. Its shocking! 😱

I see what you mean. Making people's life shitter ( which is what harris would do) doesn't necessarily mean people get desperate enough to explore bitcoin. Yes trump would promote bitcoin. Its a stamp of approval some people need to take it seriously. 👍

Same, I'm waiting too, I dont think they will notice untill its over 100k! 🙄

I love it! Brilliant. 👏 I was thinking if I gift to my nephews then they probably just lose their keys or sell because they don't know what they got their hands on. Incentives them to learn what Bitcoin is. Nice one. You going for "Uncle of the Year" award! 👍

I been thinking the same. I really do want trump to win, but the dip with Harris win would be such a gift! And things will get shit alot quicker, which means more people will find bitcoin quicker. Its a win win who ever wins.

I think the moto here is "nothing works"

Eth in my opinion has been shit from the beginning. But its gathered alot of momentum because there were not really any alts competing when it first came out. And so it gathered enough network effect. Some of the other smaller alts will beat btc, just because their market cap is so tiny, so to double treble quadruple takes very little liquidity. Eth market cap is quite massive, so it needs to have some real teeth to get similar returns to the past.

How much money is flowing into Eth ETF? Last I heard, it was fraction of Bitcoin ETF. If Eth ETF inflows is maybe 1/4 of Bitcoin then maybe (Eth ETF came out after Bitcoin, so it would understandably be lagging).🤔

Did wolf of all street take your bet?

If you lose you have to pay him 1bitcoin? If you do lose btc could be worth $200k-$500k. That would hurt! I dont think I could make a bet priced in bitcoin. In Fiat maybe.

I gave up gambling in summer of 2000 when I bet my hard earned money from my job in mcdonalds on Tim Henman to win a 4th round Wimbledon match. He bloody lost. That was the end of my gambling days. 🙄

I have looked into the shitcoin scene. There are some interesting ideas. Besides the fact that 99% are complete crap(and finding 1% is next to impossible), the biggest problem in the shitcoin scene is its full of scammers, bullshitters pretty much all the worst qualities you can think of, getting attracted to the shit coin scene. Bitcoin is totally opposite. Best people I've met ever, strong principles, good core values.

I have a friend that raves about crypto, really "clever guy" IT security specialist, but he can't seem to grasp why bitcoin is so transformative, I think they can't see the problems it is solving.

I'm still trying to figure out why some people get orange pilled and others don't. Based on my track record and bitcoin friends I've spoke to its around 1% or less. I'm not sure why its so low?

Db9 is nice. I've never driven a Db9.
