I’m starting to travel more regularly. Bitcoin is already my reserve currency, which I also use to pay for local goods. It’s efficient. 2. Backup is a wise card that I bulk convert to a currency when I land and use like a local. 3. No need for anything else. Fractional reserve is becoming foreign to me. It’s strange how fast I’ve normalised to this way of living. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan They will blame farmers when the price of goods go up. They will blame small entrepreneurs who can’t give their staff raises to offset inflation, when their company is only at break-even. Take a loan and innovate they say. They will blame workers who don’t want to work harder to afford the same things, for quiet quitting. They will blame bitcoiners who seem vindicated that prices are going up, for breaking the system. They call it rat poisoned squared. But who/what is the rat? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2023/03/16/el-salvadors-authoritarian-president-is-becoming-a-regional-role-model npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Financial freedom is owning my property and how I use it without paternalism from central entity. Affordability is related to things I want or need. I can choose to not want it. To me, they are not the same. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan It’s like when you studied computer science, and the boss asks you to fix his window computer 😂 npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan so… bank run by banks? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Bitcoin is a necessary but surface layer to freedom, visiting the monastics at hue citadel, I realise there is a deeper layer, one must not stop at the first step. https://youtu.be/FhTnR4JC52g npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Yep marketing wise, he could be looking to be a footnote with pizza guy. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Already all in, skipping hair-cut this weekend so I’m not taking any Bitcoin out for frivolous lightning payments 😂 npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Reducing what I live on, to 2 hand-carry bags, has increased quality of life. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_79c235b68ac7dda9a129b473824e768bc693249438db55b1be91ded8ee20b234.jpg npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Am on the creature from Jekyll island.

I suspect Bitcoin companies are in the first bracket. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan When I eat at roadside restaurant, I try to not look at the kitchen, how it’s cooked and dishes washed. Many take same approach when they withdraw cash from the ATM. They expect it to work, until it doesn’t. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Unlike an apple that each of you can eat only one, information flows and multiplies to both of you.

You do business, get married, entertain yourself and drink. No licence required. However it’s not a utopia. We are on our own. No one asked us to come here. We are expected to make ourselves useful or go away.” - The Mandibles. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Nice! I would like to copy and send it to state retirement fund that deducts my salary, but I don’t think they’re asking 😂 npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan 1. A bitcoin debit card that works for me, is one that stores it only as bitcoin and converts at point of purchase, as a payment rail. 2. I would only keep 1 week expenses on it, if it’s custodial. 3. The cash back is to just cover the annual maintenance fee, so note the minimum monthly spend required, fits with actual expenses. 4. From what I see, it’s much cheaper than bitrefill, so far. 5. Freedom is providing the optionality for merchant to receive in fiat or lightning, and for me to make payment in Bitcoin only. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan I would say, start slow traveling as well if your work allows it.

A likely path is to then, not take on venture cap but to get to sustainability. 2. this is un-sexy and staff might leave if too much grit required for god metrics over vanity ones, for too long. Easier for them to work with venture backed co with their longer time preference on profit-loss, if at all. 3. You will also have to keep up with inflation, by providing increments, so sustainability slips back into a loss. Thank Keynes. Result. Staff leave for venture backed co. which can be at loss by kicking can down road. 4 solo-preneur, or tiny team size might have a chance. Use only what you need and can pay for. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan The place I’m traveling has bbc banned. It’s fine, i only check it for sports nowadays.

A straight up edit might cause comments to a post to lose context. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan I would interpret it as prioritise places to travel to, where it’s allowed to use Bitcoin as a form of payment, over those where you can’t, where there is a choice. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan As a thought experiment, adding a priority to only one box each, helps inform me on my strategy on Bitcoin and how it differs from others. https://i.postimg.cc/GpzxgrzM/thought-experiment-2023-03-04-at-10-23-16-AM.png npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Yes that example helps a lot, thanks : ) npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan In #[0] article value 4 value, he mentions allow those who add value to participate in value flows.

Same prism, different angles. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Yes, that makes sense, thanks : ) npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Can a nostr client for a marketplace be owned by a company who built it, or should it be open source, own by no one? For example, since the protocol itself is open, with open relays, users can run on both type of clients. Your thoughts on this? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Yep. What are your thoughts on how those clients can sustain in the mid term though? Or how do they grow to more team members? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Not being able to get a Bitcoin debit card due to my residency is becoming a blessing.

Let’s see how it goes. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan How does a founder who has spent last 10 years on a platform based marketplace transition to value4value reality, within the company. 1. Instead of observing valuation of the company, observe valuation of bitcoin vs prices of goods / other denominator instead. - This would require moving a tiny percentage at first on bitcoin hodl, whatever it can afford - USD1 or 10,000, to have skin in the game. - On approach by new investors who want to invest in company, pass them a deck of bitcoin instead. - Look at options to buy back shares, so that it can move towards some form of DAO. - Keep company small, 20 to 30 team size. 2. Start a parallel small ground up experimental de-centralized project. I'm researching into dergigi’s manifesto. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Yes, I can resonate with that.

What are the alternatives here. Jumping jacks? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan I like the idea! As a consensus: 1. How is shipping of items discussed? 2. Payment first and then ship? 3. What if a seller does not ship, or item damaged? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan If you are planning to watch the full prisoner series, be prepared to have dreams of cats talking to you.

I stayed in dormitories in singapore as I went through a 3 months accelerator program (yes, there were bed bugs and loud snoring). Here i conditioned and trained to pitch to investors, and hustle to first 100 paying customers. Everyday was intense, i was only single founder. Demo Day pitched to international investors and raised my first round of funding. Two things: 1. The valley definition of pitching and hustling, is defined as shilling in the pleb community. The strict adherence is to value for the community, not shareholders. I am re-wiring myself. 2. I raised another 2 seed rounds over the next 5 years with angels. And then stopped completely. To continue to a Series A would require the expectation of growth at all costs, which is not in-line with my values at the time and now, still. I am reading more about proof of work, bitcoin valuation as capital and we as stakeholders in that instead. The journey continues.. https://i.postimg.cc/d0sBy8Kz/demo-day.png npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan It’s going to be a big change, a company office occupying several floors in prime spots, chef made lunch, talent getting paid from credit sourced from investors, to keep up with inflation, with valuation based on vanity metrics. To new smaller non-funded companies, 20 people, iterating on ideas of their competitors delivering value to the community. Valuation is the capital in Bitcoin, not the company itself. All are shareholders in this. it’s going to be wild if true. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan I agree. Without the hockey-stick growth, do you see valley type investors funding those companies? npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan “Bitcoin is a blackhole on the world’s balance sheet.” - Myers. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Instead of artificially creating conflict, focus on superordinate goals like freedom or peace and build towards that as journeymen. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Now is a superior sort of time.

Makes sense : ) npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan What seems to be happening is that fiat is draining, so we have to work super hard each month, so that everyone gets paid, before their pay to bills ratio negates. Deciding not take on debt in a draining fiat, is like passing around a cup of water with holes, without having an external party pour more water than is being drained. Much better to use a cup without holes, no external party and their terms of debt required. https://i.postimg.cc/bYgtG7PG/hand-time-2.gif npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan : ( npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan There are times I feel in a simulation. A week ago. I look left to see a standstill motorbike knocked down by another motorbike in front of me. Carried on walking straight head first into a pole, that I swear has no business being on a pedestrian walkway. The comic timing, prop placement and series of events within seconds, feels almost staged. In such a way, I imagine a game architect introducing the first satoshi to consciousness, from 1s and 0s a door appears to exit. https://media.tenor.com/yrqn9m11H0MAAAAC/the-matrix-the-architect.gif npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Well.. https://youtu.be/bdrNnnw0WcA npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan Sold and given off home gym equipment.

Would you have such deep conversations with other human beings, or people you just met. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan I'm at the 2nd episode of the 1968 Prisoner series. 'They' have created an illusion of the free world with a recording of the big ben chiming to fool the prisoner into admitting the reason he resigned - 'opt out'. 1. 'They' do not want you to opt out. 2. If you have productive skills and you push, they will simply build a bigger prison, and hide the surveillance. 3. If you call them out, you go back into the cell. 4. A prison cell looks awfully similar to a monk's dorm. 5. We were always free.

A day later the funds have not left our acct. It’s stuck and no one is getting paid. Customer service have no idea why. I have to go to the bank branch and after a long while learn it’s because they need an email, years after we open the acct. KYC and power play at its worst timing. Not your keys.. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan That’s a good one.

Based on this logic, it does seem to make sense, for me, to use provident fund's 'concierge' service to pay housing loan repayments directly, leaving salary to be saved into a hard savings store of value, bitcoin. npub129x3q9zsava69zrud0sw8l79440jd6e0ta85kn4yqtj2fhzsm3vsyr5lph devan It feels strange to finally pay for lunch today with fiat-to-fiat.
