Ive always dreamed of a job where I do nothing all day and work from home.

My employer (corporation) has become so big my job has become exactly that. Doing nothing and filling out a make belief time sheet.

It has been the worse thing for my mental health ever.

Fostering more laziness and my skills are deteriorating.

I know I might regret it when this finally ends and im forced to work a normal job again or start my own business, but it just doesnt feel right.

No meaning, no contribution, no helping customers.

It seems unreal, fake, like the holodeck...

I would take a paycut for a job that still gives me the flexibility I have now but also leaves me feeling like I helped someone or some thing even at the end of the day.

Sunday night anxiety about Monday morning.

What if bird flu becomes as easily transmissible as Covid?

Europe's demographic collapse is the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about

Let that sink in: ZERO European countries hitting replacement rate. Mediterranean nations are in absolute freefall - Spain at a mind-blowing 1.16 children per woman!

Think this is just numbers? Think again.

We're watching the slow-motion collapse of every state-run pension system in real time. The Ponzi scheme is running out of new players.

But here's the real kicker: Politicians keep band-aiding with money printing while core issues of property rights and sound money remain untouched.

As Mises said: You can't fake market signals forever. Europe's demographic winter is the bill coming due.

Stacking sats never looked more prudent.

You guys keep thinking I'm joking #bitcoin is in big trouble

We need literal innovation to happen

The whales of today are not like the whales of the past

The whales of 2011 Andarous and Max are gone

The whales today are saylor and cz

Only thing I can think of to fix this is

We need 100m ppl running #bitaxe

The square root of those # of ppl will create solutions

Privacy here shouldn't come with such a painful social cost. You shouldn't have to either choose social isolation, or be forced to accept that your posts will be ingested by shady web scrapers or risk helping a known dangerous stalker identify your physical location.

You should be able to create posts that can be interacted just like the completely public ones, but which are only visible to your followers and maybe their followers, or other group of your choice.

Gentle reminder!

I recommend Obtanium over Google play. I use it for just about everything. However, if the dev only releases the apk via F-Droid, then F-Droid is the repo, and F-Droid Basic is the way to go.

I feel for you!

SIP bridges the two worlds, but Asterisk is a pain to self-host, that's why I haven't done it yet.

There are a lot of commercial SIP providers, though, and with a SIP cellphone number no one needs to know how you take their call :D

Use a phone that is not a smartphone to talk to your customers?

You may have heard of the "slippery slope"

First, you discover #nostr, then #LoRa and #Meshtastic, then things built on top of these like #reticulum and #nomadnet

After that, you decide to stick it to the closed source software. You purge Windows and macOS, switch to #GrapheneOS and #Linux.

Then you start purging the simple closed source #hardware starting with all those IoT devices. #Nest ain't hoovering up your data anymore. You tell #Ring to GFY. #OpenSource everything.

Next thing you know, you're driving around with your #phone in airplane mode. Good luck tracking your every move now, overlords.

Then you're biking & walking with your phone in airplane mode instead of driving. High gas prices, drivers licenses, car insurance, #ALPR systems... they ain't gonna stop you.

Then you start your own #garden and learning how to preserve food. 50% inflation on food? Not a huge deal. You got this.

Later your leaving all #electronics at home and paying for everything in cash. You know the routes that minimize exposure to security cameras. You're nearly a ghost.

I'm not sure what comes after that, but I'll let you know when I get there.

These may happen in a slightly different order. Each person has their own path. But once you start going down the "STOP FUCKING EXPLOITING ME" path, and stop paying the people who are doing it, it's extremely hard to stop. It feels so good to be free from all that nonsense. You want to keep going and never look back. #cypherpunk

Take the plunge. Start with just some small things. You won't regret it. And if I'm wrong, you can always turn back anytime.

This man did more to grow my stack than any Bitcoin educator ever did

Thank you for the cheap sats, Sam

I heard that if we cross $100k that Satoshi comes back. Is that true?

Charles Schwab's new CEO has revealed he feels "foolish" for not buying Bitcoin sooner.

The company has been planning to enter this market since 2021, but has not done so until now due to regulatory concerns.

In their view, the regulatory environment is changing to a more favorable one from 2025 onwards in the US.

Like them, other institutional players are also expected to position themselves positively on Bitcoin and digital assets due to the change in the regulatory landscape.

Things are changing quickly and those who don't adapt will be left out, or at the very least, will arrive too late compared to the competition.

Each of these institutions will capitulate: banks, hedge funds, payment intermediaries and eventually, states.

Are you paying attention?

Freestyla

In Nostr there are also woke people, people who believe in man-made climate change, people who hate Bitcoin, people who like shitcoins, people who believe that oil is dinosaur juice, and all those things, but the world is like that, neither I can kick them out nor they can kick me out 😂.

Long live Nostr.

We have almost reached a zettahash.

The continuous evolution of hashing power has huge implications for network security, there is no other cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, it is the only cryptocurrency that cannot be attacked even by the biggest state actor.
