Me too! I’m praying for her and her family. What she was saying is genuinely not a big deal but to them it’s worth killing over and that’s absolutely ridiculous.

🙋🏽‍♀️

Truth tellers should be valued not vilified.

Love love love him!!!

Good Morning #nostr

Goodnight penny

I totally understand. I watched my mom (from my vantage point) run herself into the ground trying to “do the right thing” by her family members, co-workers, and friends. It felt like all they did was take but in the end… her conscience was clear and her reward received in heaven.

What you do for you isn’t everyone’s business, especially those who have shown you time and again they don’t prioritize your needs, wants, or desires. Your parent’s only job was to bring you into the world… anything else was a kindness. Whether they were good to you or bad to you it’s impacted you but it doesn’t define you. You define yourself. You’re utilizing bitcoin to make your life better, you’re aligning yourself with a strong currency so when things inevitably break you have something that’ll keep you afloat. You’re working for something real and I’m so proud of you. I’m so happy for you.

The crab in the barrel mentality has caused damage to so many. That’s why you can’t let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. Make your moves in silence so nobody has any ammunition to use against you. It’s hard allowing people to think what they want about you but in the end you win. You are on top and you’re in control of your life.

Look, people are people. Their jealousy and insecurities are often times projected onto the ones they’re supposed to love to substantiate the hate they hold within themselves. You can choose to allow it to affect you or you can pick yourself up, learn the game they’re playing, and refuse to play it any longer. I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with their abuse. I’m sorry you’re being toyed with and your hard work has been dismantled. I’m also excited for you to stand strong in your resilience and rebuild. The beautiful thing about building things for yourself is that you have the capacity to do it again with the knowledge you gained from last time.

It’s sucks but you’re incredible and you will succeed in all you do.

Ayyyyeee!!! Muchas gracias 🥰🫂🌻

You’re not a victim unless you choose to see yourself as one. Live your life for you focusing on being the best you possible. Forgive those who’ve hurt you to release yourself from any ties that remain and move on.

I know it sucks and hurts when people abuse you. I also understand wanting them to take accountability for the hurt they’ve caused but sometimes wanting to be acknowledged keeps us from becoming who we are meant to be.

I will!!! Do you have any tips or resource suggestions? I’d love any direction on where to start.

I live too far to order anything and I’ve looked all over for some here but they don’t carry it in the bottle shoppes. I was thinking of making my own especially seeing the beauties you’ve been posting.

Is it difficult to brew at home?

Formulating an informed belief and standing in it.

I used to feel compelled to understand the nuance of others arguments and see how I can reshape my belief based on what I’ve learned. Now, I learn and apply without the fear of disengaging or ignoring what I don’t agree with.

Sneakers?

I don’t dislike it but it sounds a bit over produced 🌻

No.

Good night

Thanks 😊

I usually make my own Italian season blend but I stumbled upon this at my local grocery store and decided to give it a try.

The aromatics are insane and the flavor profile complements garlic so well. I can’t explain how delicious my kitchen smells… and the food tastes even better!!

Good Morning 🌻 Pura Vida🫂

Good Morning 🌻

There is so much to be grateful for and so much to stand up against. Who you were yesterday is not who you have to be tomorrow.

Be bold, be courageous, be honest.

Good Morning 🌻

Your best is all you can give anything less is a setup for disappointment.

Grifting is super annoying. I definitely see it as a character flaw… so maybe you’re right.

I really believe in Bitcoin and stack as hard as I can as often as I can. It’s too hard of an asset to throw a way willy nilly. Which is a huge part of my frustration with people who claim to understand its significance.

I didn’t move for bitcoin though, I moved because it’s really safe. After the BLM protests burned down a Wendy’s 7 mins from my house then the next year some friends got into unnecessary trouble in Austin at a conference, I was over it. El Salvador is really safe and that’s really important to me.

Morning 🌻

Congratulations on your graduation!!!

Everyday is a blessing, an opportunity, and a joy wrapped in 24 hours.

Oh no, I love it here. It’s great. I just had to acknowledge that Bitcoin is an important tool in my life but it’s not my life so people who are building a life around it and I won’t necessarily mesh, and that’s ok!

Initially, it was El Salvador but some argue that’s no longer a thing.

I lost respect for them because after interacting with many, attending meetups, conferences, and markets. I realized they were solely focused on taking my corn and making it theirs. I was also kind of shocked with how closed off, cliquey, and prejudice many were.

I made friends with a semi-bitcoiner expat and she was surprised to know I’m a maxi because she believed the bitcoiners were all bigots and racist. I reminded her some not all but still … the energy of some of the folks is just nasty. For Bitcoin to be a tool for enemies I can’t respect people who moved to a third world country to make corn off tourists and throw pennies at housekeepers and nannies. My needs are met (praise Jesus) so I just left them to themselves and picked up a sport 😂.

I appreciate your note. I really respect your perspective. Thanks for the kind words and reminder 💞

I genuinely think it’s a mixed bag. I joined Nostr to grow but also to escape the toxicity of legacy socials. Sure, it could totally be 100% my perception that I turned into a reality. However, I’m learning to go with my gut and that was kinda the vibe I was getting.

I used to genuinely feel happy interacting but at some point there was a hard shift. I’ve been in the shadows recently for a few months and that’s been cool. It’s also how I realized my feed is outta whack. I’ll figure it out. #nostr is still my fave. I believe in it and all that’s being built on it. I think I’m just having growing pains of some sort.

Yeah, El Salvador is beautiful. It has its flaws but it’s genuinely a great place. I still think of it as Bitcoin country because the country has an infrastructure (though minimal) that I feel the US lacks. It’s also a place where I can have a baby without fearing that I can’t afford one … or like I’d die in labor simply because I’m black.

I didn’t move here for Bitcoin. I moved here because I can afford to live the life I want to and it’s safe. It’s just sad that so many who claim to represent Bitcoin are actually self serving … but it’s no different than what Bitcoin magazine is doing. Bitcoiners need a face lift or something because idk if Satoshi would be welcome to his own party.

I pay my tennis coach in Bitcoin and he uses it as a savings vehicle and spends the cash he receives from other trainees. It’s awesome to see a 25 yr old man have hope. If happiness is the goal, then I’m very blessed because I’m happy and have been for a long time. Im just nostalgic for 2023 Nostr. It was such a good time 😂

Uhm… ok?

No. Nostr is Nostr

I love Nostr and have been here for 3 years however it’s difficult to use now.

First, I felt like my post were annoying people or coming of disingenuous so I stopped posting every morning.

Then, my feed became unusable. Idk if it was all the accounts I followed early on but the bots, the scammers, and tech convos I know nothing about kinda deflated my enthusiasm. It’s as if no matter what I post or hashtag I can’t find any conversation that I’d find interesting.

I’m not on telegram so I’m not apart of any of the women of Nostr groups or other subcultures that can be found here. I don’t like having to keep up with when I need to renew paid subscriptions.

Moving to “Bitcoin country” has caused me to lose a lot of respect for bitcoiners so even that draw isn’t as appealing anymore. Especially when they’re not who they present themselves to be when you meet them in person.

I’ll never turn away from Nostr but my interactions look different. All that I do now is scroll, react, and zap really good stuff otherwise I feel like I don’t belong so I don’t engage anymore. It’s sad because this place was genuinely a source of light for me for so long. nostr:note1lgdwdawvuhc435xk4qf7fzjuhe928c7jtwm47mj2ayvreg48zsvqw4rkm9

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!! May you feel appreciated, respected, and loved.

Most importantly I send thanks and praise to our creator, our Heavenly Father. The one who in his faithfulness has never forsaken those who believe in him. Whose word is real, promises are true, and love everlasting.

The one who when my earthly father disowned me — saw me, knew my name, and adopted me into his eternal family. Thanks to his sacrifice I’ll never be alone. Hallelujah to the one who saved my life and encourages my peace, faithfulness, joy, and confidence.

May every Father be honored today 🌻

Distressed!!! A good dancer is sure to cut a rug!!

Idk… I agree with some bitcoiners about a lot of things but vehemently disagree with the hypocritical celebrity culture that has popped up.

Bitcoiners are a very confusing bunch.

😂😂 definitely my first thought but it’s the wrong season
