Distributed all of our IRA money out yesterday. Couldn't stand holding the ETF any longer, it's cold storage or nothing for us. Taxes & penalties be damned, we value liquidity and sovereignty more.

Have you ever noticed how much more healthy & alive plants & vegetation looks after it rains versus when you have to water it with sprinklers?

Who needs a sauna when you can run in the heat & humidity

There is definitely something to this whole baking soda prior to a hard workout. Felt like I had unlimited energy during my intervals.

Increasingly convinced that most running shorts are a scam.
Unless you’re running for a long time (1+ hrs) or it’s very humid/raining.
I’ve been running in $15 cotton shorts for all my runs this summer and have yet to have negative side effects.

We’re going to be the first financial advising firm to adopt sovereign tools for clients.
Self hosted & encrypted communication.
Use our Bitcoin node instead of running your own.
File share direct to device via Syncthing.
Maybe even spin up a nostr relay specifically for clients for broader comms.

Same goes for echo chamber. The underlying assumption is that those you surround yourself with who hold these same biases are inherently wrong.

2024-08-12 06:02:01

We know that God gives us free will and he does so through love (which he himself is) by the ascension of his son, Jesus Christ.
Before ascending back to heaven, Jesus tells us that it is better for us that he should leave. Why is that?
Because by ascending, he not only then can send his Holy Spirit down upon the apostles, which is now our inheritance, he then allows us to live by and in faith.
If Jesus were to remain on earth then we would not live by faith. We would live by force. If God dwelt among us and that was known, all would eventually have no choice but to surrender to him. That is not free will, that is slavery.
God does not desire us to be his slaves, but his sons.
By ascending, he shows that he grants us free will to choose him and he does this because he loves us.
You cannot love someone whom you force to love you, as that is not love. Love must be freely given & received.
In the ascension Jesus gives us a glimpse of the essence of love.
Once we, freely, make the choice to love God, he grants us an outpouring of his love via the Holy Spirit.
It is better for us that this happens, instead of Christ being here, because him ascending back to heaven is the only way in which we are able to then live as Christ desires us to.

The most exciting thing about Bitcoin is that in can allow for life that is rightly ordered between leisure, useful work & useless work.

2024-08-11 14:41:55

I don’t think it’s possible to explain the freedom that comes from get on zero until you actually make the leap and do it

2024-08-09 03:51:30

Infinite banking - but instead of a whole life policy you have a Bitcoin backed LOC & you use the LOC to finance miners. Repay loan with miner profit.

2024-08-08 20:14:07

The best thing about being extremely fit at some point in your life is that it establishes a high anchor point to which you’ll continue to compare yourself. It forces you to desire being great & not just good enough.

It says a lot about a person who, when faced with new evidence, changes their mind. That sort of humbleness is something I very much respect.
Our baby doctor did this recently and I gained a ton of respect for her!

If you use exercise as a band aid for an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle
I implore you to instead put that energy towards first improving your lifestyle
And then, only if needed, continue to exercise
A healthful lifestyle should remove most need to exercise

No I don't think so. You're only able to see the accounts on the relays your connected to. Thats why 1 relay (unless you only want that bubble) isnt enough.

yeah it's pretty much all the off brand devices. anything worthwhile (imo) is not going to allow for that functionality. maybe one day. I do prefer garmin because they at least say they don't sell your personal data. Still collecting it, of course.
