Building "Brian", my first brain in silicon Fully vested Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Former, failed, Chief VLOG Officer Former Chief Shitpost Officer - NOSTR Inc. Node runner - Miner - Author My public relay: https://nortis.nostr1.com/ My book: https://mikehardcastle.com/my-book-why-bitcoin/

I was lucky to visit in the 1990's with my Father. A school friend of his was a volunteer there and we got a behind the scenes tour and I got to operate Colossus.

That was before it was properly open to the public. I got to meet the legendary Tony Sale.

This time, I'll just be a regular punter, I have mixed feelings about going.

Pizza beer and buddies are the best.

I bet that cost less than 10,000 BTC.

Buddies are priceless

Just followed them, I'm in the UK so we have more honey availability here.

I don't know what I'd do if I ever got a perfect node.

I had to look up Type A, it summarised:

Achievement-oriented

Competitive

Fast-paced

Impatient

I would try to regain that status, looks pretty good to me.

The scenario of #Bitcoin going to zero does not exist anymore. #BTC is playing much the same role as gold did in the early days of banking

If you havenโ€™t join the RCL Vip newsletter group already, I would highly recommend you start now https://t.me/rebelcapitalistshow

it's one of the super underrated newsletter out there, extremely effective for long term passive accumulation full of OG Bitcoiners, and you can easily 1000x your portfolio with potential signals.

I don't think it ever did have a chance of going to zero since Pizza Day.

I think Bitcoin layer one is going to be the next RTGS (look it up).

Enjoy the ride.

Also stop shilling, it doesn't go down well here, leave that for Xitter.

Mike, youโ€™re hitting me with truth today. Thanks, friend.

Certainly some things have been easier in as far as being able to get some to listen to my ideas. Being a female in military then government surrounded by men & mostly masculine-dominant thinking is what formed me.

As a former fighter, legitimately a lot of it is mental. There were times Iโ€™d stood up to far better fighters who outweighed me but my mental game was on point. Something that left with my youth. The broken back helped humble me as well ๐Ÿคฃ

Brain has always been an issue for me. Iโ€™ve always leaned into my spirituality & have used it for my benefit & others when it felt appropriate.

As a child I was considered advanced placement in school & they locked us in tiny rooms to work all day. Feck outta here with that noise. Became disruptive so Iโ€™d be placed with majority of children cause I didnโ€™t want to be โ€œspecial.โ€ Intelligence wasnโ€™t highly prized where I grew up. Planted elsewhere my flower may have bloomed earlier. Who knows? I do, but itโ€™s hard to accept that if Iโ€™d grown up in another home or another environment my life would be different. As such, my path was walked. Did the best possible. Most of my friends from middle school have ended up in prison, are drug dealers, addicts or are dead. Thatโ€™s where their lives went. It was the neighborhood. Generational poverty & lack of vision by many allowed corruption & soul death. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

My parents (father & step-mother) moved to another neighborhood when I left for the Army. My siblings went to a โ€œbetterโ€ school & had opportunities that I never had. Grateful for that. I hold no ill-will towards my parents as I know they did the best they could with all their resources.

All of that to say, we probably agree. All of us have limited thinking from our own experiences & worldview. Right? Working together to make it work for benefit of all is best I know. Maybe not all. 99% is worth fighting for. The top 1% have enslaved us all & they need to pay their fair share. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™Œ

Hold on, so you've got 2 out of 3 life skills (strength and good looks) and you seem pretty intelligent too?

I've only got half of one, that's not fair ๐Ÿ˜‚

Seriously though, yes, we all have our own path and challenges, it is the things that we struggle with that often drive us to excel.

Nothing is worth winning if it is won too easily.

Don't look at others, follow your own path, it is always the best way and enjoy what you have or have achieved, chances are it is hard earned and worth celebrating.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I wouldn't worry about the top 1%, they're mostly inherited idiots without a clue.

Bitcoiners are going to become the top 1% before the decade is out, enjoy the journey.

For all skills there are primary and secondary uses.

If you're good looking, then you can use it indirectly to get an interview or by people wanting to be close to you and offering you opportunities.

Same with strength, you don't have to be a fighter, you can project it and make others more inclined to give what you want.

Brains seems to work best indirectly, most child geniuses seem to fail later on, while those that find the intelligence route harder often succeed later in life.

Have 2 of the three attributes helps and not being exceptional in any one category helps as you tend to appreciate what you have and work harder at developing it or its use.

That's my limited thinking on the matter anyway. I'm probably wrong ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ah, yes, we're onboarding TikTok at the moment, but OnlyFans is a closer fit to a NOSTR / Lightning pay as you go service.

We all make use of what skills we have, if you're good looking make money from that, if you're strong make money from that.

I'm trying the brains route, it may work, it may not. The other two aren't options for me.
