In one of the videos he called the police officers "the blue canaries" because they're usually first on scene. That gave me a bit of a laugh. Not great for the officers of course. 🤭🥹

The Surprising Advantage of Physical Books
Is reading on a Kindle really the same as reading on paper? New research suggests there may be an important difference. While readers understood the material equally well in both formats, those who read on paper answered more complex questions faster. One explanation is that physical pages provide spatial cues that help the brain organize and retrieve information more efficiently. (Source: PLOS One https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0349778)

Jeff Booth @nprofile…69lg and Scott Melker @nprofile…dalc make the case that Bitcoin's inevitability has never been more certain — and counterintuitively, everything that looks bad right now is exactly what had to happen. From the Coldcard hack to BIP-110 to institutional co-option attempts, Booth argues the system could never kill Bitcoin so now it has to absorb it — and that reflexive pressure only makes Bitcoin stronger. Melker adds that every person who buys IBIT for the first time is on a path that eventually leads to self custody, whether they know it yet or not. This is the long-game Bitcoin conversation for people who can see past the price.

Life Power Tip
End each day with power and acknowledgement of today’s accomplishments. “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Action
Have an imaginary friend for a day and converse with them through your day.
Challenge
Expect good things to happen all day. In fact, expect several miracles!
Quote
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems do not rhyme, and some stories do not have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. -Gilda Radner

It’s not about erasing the past, it is about transforming your relationship with it. (Link is below) https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/emotional-burdens/

Who can you trust with your health?
In 2024, a Swedish medical researcher invented a fake disease called Bixonimania. She gave it symptoms anyone could have. Wrote fake research papers. Planted them online.
Within weeks, every major AI chatbot was diagnosing it with total confidence. Google Gemini explained its causes. Perplexity quoted how common it was. ChatGPT diagnosed real people with it.
She left clues. The author was named "the Lying Loser" in another language. The papers thanked Ross Geller from Friends and the crew of the Starship Enterprise. One paper literally said: "This entire paper is made up."
AI missed every one. A real medical journal cited it.

I have come across this poem many times, yet I don’t believe that I had never shared it with you. Enjoy and remind yourself every day, as you look into the mirror each day. This poem was written in 1934 by Dale Wimbrow. Peter Dale Wimbrow (June 6, 1895 – 1954) was an American composer, radio artist and writer.

Life Power Tip
Do not wait for inspiration. Go after it with a club! Inspiration happens while you are in action, producing results, having great conversations or searching for information, among other activities. Sitting still and worrying or grappling with “Will I, won’t I?” will not attract those inspirations to you. “Life is what happens when you are making other plans” -John Lennon.
Action
Grant the possibility that the other person may be right, even if you do not believe it.
Challenge
Establish a personal program to increase your good feelings in life.
Quote
I love the phrase: ‘in a world that’s round, it doesn’t make sense to take sides’. So with skills I do not have to position myself against anyone, I become curious about them and I want to teach them about me. When I approach communication and conflict management from that place, I am not butting heads with anyone. I am learning or teaching. -Dr. Rhoberta Shaler

Doing nothing is also a choice and will produce particular results. “Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.

Parliament guillotined the ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2) through the Senate today, super-sizing ASIO's coercive questioning and detention powers, while media attention is fixed on the government's NDIS and gambling reform packages.
Disappointing to see the Bill passed.
Well done to South Australian Liberal Senator Andrew McLachlan for also opposing the Bill, along with One Nation, the Greens and Senator David Pocock.
The Bill has the support of the Labor and Coalition who are in lockstep on giving ASIO this unprecedented expansion of powers.
This is the largest expansion of secret interrogation and detention powers this country has seen in over 2 decades and the major parties are hoping nobody noticed until it is made into law.
You know a bill is a bad idea if the Government and Coalition want to restrict democratic debate to an hour despite mass opposition from the community and political resistance inside Parliament.
Under these laws you can be locked up and interrogated in this country without ever being charged or even suspected of a crime. That should terrify every Australian.
As young as a fourteen-year-old can be detained and questioned by ASIO with no lawyer and no court oversight and then when released they can't tell anyone.
If while you're being questioned you stay silent or refuse to answer any questions you can go to prison for five years. Tell someone it happened and you go to prison. That's the choice this Bill hands to an innocent person.
Labor and the Coalition are burying the bill they can't defend under the dirty NDIS and gambling headlines. Whatever it takes to keep the cameras pointed the other way.
When they write 'politically motivated violence' into this Bill, they are writing a blank cheque to target anyone who criticises this Government.
We have watched our governments use national security powers against people marching for freedom before. This Bill hands them the power to do it in secret, with no one able to challenge it in court.

Choices and Illusions does a great job at explaining, in a very down to earth way, how your mind works, why some changes can be so difficult to make and how you can take control of your own mind to create the life of your choosing. Eldon states that, his lifetime of work shows him clearly, that the only way you can possibly discover your true self and become the person you were meant to be, free of self destructive patterns and ideas, is by doing 5 things. (Link is below) https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/choices-and-illusions/
Life Power Tip
Do your very best to clearly visualize and feel. When you have identified what you want to create in your life, you will then need to strengthen that clarity and develop your comfort zone around receiving it into your life. Practising, through visualizing and feeling the experience does that. Our mind does not distinguish between tangible and intangible experiences; they are all real to our subconscious mind. You will also heighten your vibrations in relationship to what you want, and be like a magnet in attracting that to you.
Action
Go to the store, pick out a food you have never eaten before, and try it.
Challenge
Engage in a couple of activities for both left and right sides of your brain.

Do something today that makes a difference to December, this year. Do you remember November and December, last year? Sit down and list a few actions that you could take this week that will make a difference to that time of the year for you. Make this next December about being special to other people and not about the mad rush and self-focus that usually takes over at that time.
Action
Go for a season using natural remedies only (unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor).
Challenge
Do not oversize any of today’s problems. In fact, focus on minimizing their effect on you.
Quote
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

Silence is often treated like a convenience. It is something we reach for when the washing machine is on or the neighbours are mowing their lawns. People imagine silence as absence rather than presence, a resting place not a resource. Silence is more than absence of noise. It’s a tool for clarity, strength and insight. Explore how cultivating quiet moments can enhance focus, decision-making, relationships and resilience. Make silence a daily source of power.

Thank you @nprofile…e3pc I'll take your word for it as you have a better vantage point I believe. I agree about the lessons and stepping back. I'm in my late 60s and husband in late 70s yet we're here and Bitcoin maxis. No children or any other young family to show us the way. It certainly keeps our grey cells active! 😂🤣🫣🧡 Want to see it as money (that sly, roundabout way) 🤭 to separate money from state. Not sure if it'll be in our lifetime and here in Perth, Australia there's the tax associated with transfer of Bitcoin. 🤬 Thsnks again Jeff. 🙏

Video description from YouTube:
Bitcoin’s BIP-110 soft fork briefly split the chain—but the failed Bitcoin fork may have proven the opposite of corporate capture: nobody, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to miners and node operators, can unilaterally change Bitcoin’s rules. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan and U.S. Treasury spent an estimated $87 billion defending the yen as Jamie Dimon exposed what truly supports the dollar’s reserve-currency status. This episode connects Bitcoin consensus, mining centralization, self-custody, hashrate, fiscal dominance, inflation, capital flows, and the accelerating search for neutral digital money.

It’s important to pass key life lessons to next generations. Even when young, investing in personal development can create a lasting impact. Even as young children, they can learn to take their personal development seriously and start working on goals. It’s our job to invest in the future generations.

Life Power Tip
Do something for your body and mind today. Unless we have daily practices in place (such as a meditation, yoga, walking, deep breathing, social contact, reading, listening to empowering audios etc.), we may find that our body and mind reserves gradually deplete, as we get busy with our daily “doing”. What could you regularly schedule, to raise your energy?
Action
Go for a drive without a specific destination, only to explore.
Challenge
Do your most challenging jobs, first, today.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. -Buddha

Miners appear to be captured, they’re signalling they want spam and CSAM for a fee. Some say BIP-110 was a small number of people trying to change the rules. They tried to roll back Core Devs’ changes, v30+ represents less than 15% and that minority is pushing a change nobody agreed too.

Develop your curiosity, ask many questions, and do not know the answers. When we are curious, we are open to growing, we see possibilities, we unleash the chains of rigidity that hold us hostage. When we are curious we lighten up, we flow, we learn, we grow.

Each person has their own entrenched set of limiting beliefs, shaped by culture, parental upbringing and past experiences to which we have added our unique interpretation and meaning. At the core of these beliefs lie one single element, “fear”. Fear is the strongest emotion and an emotion that can be totally paralyzing at the most or a hindrance at the least. Watch this short 10-minute video about how to face our fears. There are many kinds of fears and each fear is a product of past memories.

The Coldcard Bug, Visualized
https://youtu.be/IwrKWdxt0YM
Video description from Youtube: Randomness is the entire security model of a Bitcoin wallet.
Imagine every possible Bitcoin seed phrase as individual atoms. An attacker would need to find the one atom that opens your wallet. When a seed is generated properly, the pool of possibilities is so large that the attacker is hunting for one specific atom hidden somewhere across two billion galaxies. No computer on Earth can search that many possibilities.
Affected Coldcard firmware drew its seeds from a much smaller, more predictable pool. Representing every possible Coldcard seed as an atom, the whole collection would only be about the size of a large virus. A computer can work through every seed in about three hours.
This short film travels that entire distance, from a single atom to two billion galaxies and back, to show what the difference actually looks like.
The stakes for affected users are real. Losing funds you did everything right to protect is a hard thing, and you deserve clear answers. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted as this unfolds.
BPI's policy reflections on this vulnerability are coming soon.
This video is a simplified search-space comparison. It describes affected firmware only, not all Coldcard devices or Bitcoin itself.
