Some more Proof of Work

Proof of Work is doing things you'd rather not. Perseverance and dedication are required to see the results you desire. Anything less will bring frustration, apathy, and depression.

Folks who see Proof of Work will usually comment on "how easy that must have been".

While Proof is immediately understandable, Work is much harder to fathom.

So many facets of modern life reinforces the concept of high-time preference - from the Internet and telecommunications, to widely available food items and entertainment.

Zoomers, and to a lesser extent, Millennials, espouse anti-natalist viewpoints in favor of being able to "buy the bulk snacks they want from Costco". yet, in the next breath claim to be depressed and incapable of happiness.

We've been led to believe that comfort is happiness, that easy is preferred, that doing the hard things is wasteful.

Identitarianism has become pervasive and and intersectionality coveted. The current aura of modern culture is a race to the bottom in what can only be called Victim Olympics.

The answer to most, if not all, of these modern problems is to endeavor to labor in a project full of Proof of Work.

Proof of Work gives satisfaction by seeing the results of applied labor. Raising a child is Proof of Work. Eating healthy is Proof of Work. Creating, be it a family, art, work, a business, is Proof of Work.

My Proof of Work is my family. The resulting satisfaction and sense of purpose are incomparable. Better yet is the hope my children represent - the hope of a better tomorrow, a better future. This is the reason my ceramics studio is called Proof of Work Pottery.

An open thank you to all bitcoiners.

I had to stop listening to a podcast from Hidden Forces today. It finally recognized it for what it was - the same doom and gloom it always has been… "The West is failing, government is failing, society is failing etc”. No answers, just more identification of the failure. Definitely not any solutions there.

I switched over to my list of bitcoin podcasts. More nostr:npub1hrnt73hppyc5v9h7ynnv0cn90yd97t6we9dw32s46ug845jsm33sktjsct , nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe , nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z Pysh... and even nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx - yes even Pedro. Why? Because there is a hope in bitcoin. Maybe that is partly because we seem to have turned the corner on the bear market but mostly because bitcoiners are optimistic, building and moving forward.

Devs are creating new apps and fixing and improving old ones. Bitcoin philosphers are, well philosophizing (looking at your nostr:npub1mz704n7dsaw3jcj3kr5le45n97tqughyt5lxe3yv3xy3025hv3dsp5tl8g , nostr:npub1jdwujjpaxmeyg44fz5xa87yhtrnvg8lzqnv9hprk5sdkx6h58gjqwtujzl and Parker Lewis to name a few). Meetups are getting bigger and more people are taking their first steps into the bitcoin network. Meanwhile the Plebs are out educating and orange pilling every day.

Bitcoiners are hopeful and optimistic. We know there are problems - we’ve identified a host of them and we are working to fix what we can. Sure we might be bickering over what hardware wallet is truly FOSS, bitching about ordinals and debating mining protocols. But we are building and moving forward anyway.

Jeff Booth is right - there is no point in living in the old world. You simply feed it by engaging with it. Even listening to the old world is tiresome. I’ve moved into the new world, a world with Bitcoin and I don’t ever want to go back.

Burn the boats.

I'm going to be making a limited production run of commemorative steins for the upcoming Bitcoin halving.

Design to be finalized soon! Let the Bull Run begin! 🚀
