Deleted my X account yesterday.

Feeling lighter and happier.

Excited to post more knowledge and insights here on nostr 💪

More Nodes

More Solo Miners

More Relays

More Freedom

For a while now, I’ve been battling internally about what to do with my living situation.

Moving back in with family to help financially sounded good in theory, but in reality, it’s been toxic. I’ve tried helping—budget plans, “spend less than you earn,” explaining Bitcoin—but nothing sticks. Some people are just set in their ways, even when drowning in debt. Add in generational baggage and it’s a heavy load.

Deep down, I knew I needed to move on.

The last few years, I’ve saved by repeating:

“Stay humble and stack sats.” - Odell

Listened to people like Lyn: “Nothing stops this train.”

Lurked on Nostr and read: “You can just do things. You can just build things.”

Nostr has been a goldmine of wisdom, and it gave me the confidence to finally start fresh.

I’m moving to a new region. Still learning to code.

Been watching Derek Ross & Alex Gleason’s vibe coding.

Starting a satsflow business.

Most importantly—living and appreciating this one life we each have.

So if you ever wonder if your notes here actually impact someone—they do.

Thank you to everyone who’s helped me reach this point.

If something inside you is telling you to take that leap—and you’re able to—just remember:

“You can just do things.” 🧡

Jake! This is pure goals for me 💜 I feel that you’re ahead of me family wise, but that is not at all a negative feeling, it is humbling and just a nice emotion that good things are coming to those who wait patiently.

Keep shedding guys!

I do this whenever there's a lot of negativity or judgement.

I make a very deliberate point of not interacting with any of it.

I do it for myself & not because I think it has any lasting impact.

There's something powerful about observing without action or judgement that I've never truly appreciated. Over time it starts to shift your reality.

This is why we NOSTR.

The collectivists like to blame that supposed "free" market when one of their harebrained Interventionist schemes blows up.

Or has consequences which their shortsighted lot failed to anticipate.

influencers appeal to the lowest common denominator masses

then monetize their audience to the fullest

this is bad for the soul

my son says what sounds like the F word whenever he says “fork” or “fox” and it’s getting reallllly hard not to laugh 😂

i like your Dgaf energy.

i tried setting up somebody on Nostr recently. they wanted to follow topics. i could just give them my follow list or the follow list of one of my follows that I know won't get them in trouble.

i'm sure what they are looking for is on another client, and I probably need to break out of the walled garden of my follow list to find other people.

i also need to up my Nostr skills so i can figure out how to set up topics for other people.

i think what i'm getting at is my own comfort has limited my nostr growth, and it's probably time to step out of comfort zone. this is a feeling i'm getting recently.

I know a lot of you are feeling depressed about declining growth stats on Nostr, but on the bright side, at least it seems like the full-time Xitter people have stopped showing up to drop their occasional bad takes.

I would love to know more if you are open to sharing.

Some Thoughts on Adoption (and other nonsense).

There's this old Louis C.K. clip—recorded long before he was cancelled—that summarizes our modern conundrum well: "Everything's amazing and nobody's happy."

As I was walking towards the hospital today—after a way too early 5:30 rise—it dawned on me that wide-scale nostr adoption (and "proper" wide-scale bitcoin adoption, for that matter) is probably not going to happen. The good news is that it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The bad news is that lots of people will suffer.

"Why so bearish?" I hear you ask. If you know me just a little bit you'll know that, even though I do have many faults, being bearish isn't one of them. I'm still incredibly optimistic when it comes to the adoption and proliferation of freedom tech. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing what I do.

Here's what dawned on me, though: People aren't even interested in their own health, why would they be interested in healthy money? Yes, everyone wants to be healthy. But doing what is necessary to live a healthy lifestyle? Not interested. Not in the least. Usually something really really bad has to happen for people to change their ways. And even that doesn't move the needle in some cases, as plenty of drinkers who still drink after their liver gave up, or plenty a smoker who still smokes after being diagnosed with lung cancer can attest to.

Which brings me to bitcoin treasury companies. Are most of them interested in taking the responsibility of holding their own keys? Are they interested in providing real value while staying humble and stacking sats? No, of course not. They are interested in paper gains, not in a full-blown reorientation that leads to a healthier lifestyle. And I mean that literally: if you truly and fully adopt bitcoin, the responsibility that is entailed by that will result in a reorientation, a re-alignment of values, which will—down the line—lead to more long-term thinking, healthier business practices, more honest value generation, and so on.

To me, this is what "capital B" Bitcoin is about. Change. Real change. A ridiculous proposition to the balance sheet brain.

...which brings me to nostr.

A short stroll through the current iteration of the internet should make clear that the platforms that most people spend their time on are incredibly mis-aligned with humanity. The outrage-machine that we've built for ourselves is keeping us like rats in Skinner boxes, hitting the dopamine button with every swipe and every scroll, no matter what. We've built a machine that is parasitic on humanity, instead of synergistic. We are optimizing for engagement, which means that we are maximizing addiction by shoving a mixture of uppers (porn) and downers (rage bait) down our collective throats. The machine is catering to our lowest selves, as opposed to our highest selves. (We could also optimize for the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, you know. Is that too much to ask?)

But who is to blame for all of that? (And is it worth blaming someone in the first place?)

It is clear to me that the whole military-grade industrial advertising complex that profits from running large-scale and nonstop psychological experiments on the whole fucking population of the earth wouldn't be profitable for long if we would all get our act together. But that won't happen, of course. There won't be a magical finger snap that suddenly shakes us awake from our slumber; that stops us from sleepwalking into dystopia. Just like there won't be a magical finger snap that stops us from our bad habits and unhealthy lifestyles.

Adopting a healthy way of living is hard. It means saying no to the constant onslaught of sugary snacks, fast-food around every corner, and social pressures to indulge. It means taking responsibility for your decisions, cultivating discipline, taking care of your body, your psyche, and yes, also your soul.

A wise man once said that "he who has a 'why' can bear almost any 'how'." And that's what most of us are missing: a strong enough "why." Why go through the trouble of living healthy? It's hard! Why hold your own keys, if someone else can do it for you, and there's even the apparent safety of some insurance? Why cultivate a less destructive relationship to the internet, if you can just autoplay & chill, whether it be with Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, PornHub, or something else? Why not write the snarky comment and trigger a whole cohort of people at the click of a button?

Because it's not healthy, that's why.

"Everything's amazing and nobody's happy." That's the state of the world. Always has been. And I'm to blame too, of course. Sitting in the hospital waiting room, writing these lines, bitching and moaning about the internet, this amazing series of tubes that I so love, warts and all.

But yeah, the internet won't heal itself over night. Neither will the economy, nor the rent-seeking zombie companies that don't provide value, nor the underlying fiat system that broke it all in the first place. It will take lots of time, lots of courage, lots of faith, and lots of responsibility.

It will be hard, but it will also be worth it. And it starts with you.

If you are unsure what to pursue, pursue yourself.

Becoming the happiest, healthiest, strongest version of yourself.

A new path will open when the time is right.

Weather warfare is a much better tool for devastating populations and clearing land than nuclear warheads. ⛈️

Better plausible deniability and leaves nature more or less in tact. 🌲

Bigger questions is whether it's coming from within or abroad. 👩‍🔬

Never heard the podcast so was just wondering.

Quick question ❓

What do you talk about on your podcast 🎙️

"Crushed it today! 🚀 Super productive, stacked some sweet SATs, got dirty in the garden, had a blast with the kiddos, and knocked out a ton of personal work for my upcoming YT channel. "

Thanks Duchess, err I mean GF. Enjoyed meeting you.

This is a huge opportunity. Do your due dilligence asap!

One off-week doesn’t break momentum, not showing up after does.

“Opinionated” is what people call clarity when they don’t have any.
