Last Notes npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf NOSTR's Freedom of Speech means I have to/get to mute all the racists on here myself. Sigh. Guess I'm glad I have the ability to do that! npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I get you. It might just be a case of people picking their battles or choosing what to share/not share. As a personal rule for example, I decided long ago to not post or re-share blatantly political stuff on social media and instead just use it to share my own thoughts or promote what I'm doing. On the other hand, there are many people who are in to Bitcoin who are right leaning. I am not. One of the things about Bitcoin that draws me to it is the anti-authoritarian, anti-oppressive nature of it and how it can help empower the less fortunate of the world financially. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I care. I haven't heard bitcoiners talk of this topic specifically but I don't get the impression that Bitcoiners by-and-large don't care about it. Why do you think that is the case? npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf This is incredibly beautiful. Amazing that someone made this. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Thank you for sharing this. This is a beautiful video and really makes me appreciate the safety my family and I have. I love how it also shows how children and families can be happy and persist (relatively speaking) in even the most dire circumstances. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I dunno. My kid is only 3 but she's aged me 10 years! ๐ In all honesty though, this is smart. I'll never want to give up the ghost because I'll never stop loving her. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf #Working is for people who haven't figured out how to work less yet. 40 hours x 50 weeks x 40 years = 80,000 hours. Spend 1000 of those hours figuring out how to work less. #retireearly npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Congrats! I plan to do the same about a year from now, or if BTC price gets super hot later this year. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I'm overhearing an interview being conducted in a public place. It's painful to listen to. I'm so glad I'm self employed. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf If you want something healthy, oatmeal with frozen blueberries + peanut butter + banana is pretty hard to beat and is satisfying. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf This is good news. Fidelity Crypto doesn't seem to be available in all states, but even if it's not you can still invest your Fidelity IRA in the FBTC ETF to get access to the price action of BTC. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I ignore my phone a lot but my wife doesn't like that, lol npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Nostr, where 30% of the posts are people sharing how great Nostr is! npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf It's the only social media I use, but yeah it's got problems. For example, I don't see any of the replies to this thread. No idea why. And I definitely wouldn't be on here if I didn't care about Bitcoin. All the right-wing and conspiracy theory wackjob stuff on here is pretty annoying too. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf The joys of being early retired. Spent the afternoon burning sticks in my back yard. Was frustrated for the first half hour as I struggled to start a #FIRE but then it got easier. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I was dealing with a similar issue on Iris.to web-app of it showing "trending posts" that I don't want to see. If you have the uBlock Origin plugin installed in your browser you can use the "block element feature" to "hide" aspects of websites that you don't like. I've found this really helpful to improve websites by removing things like "trending posts, comment feeds, or other annoyances" that are meant to click-baity or suck you in. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I use a dumb phone as my daily driver but have a cheap smart phone without a sim card in it. I generally don't bring my smart phone out of the house with me, but I will if I envision needing it. I treat it like a mini computer and pull it out only when needed for some specific task. Doing this I get the best of both worlds in my opinion. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Thank you for the recommendation! npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Saving the wikipedia page to read later ๐ npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Who's responsible for putting stickers on bananas? How do you get that job? npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Trying to like #NOSTR and I do, but I think the biggest problem is it's still #socialmedia... at least in this version of it. I'm probably just showing my age but I feel like blogs and forums are so much better. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I love @npub1meaโฆqane. Would be great to see a "Proton Spreadsheet" feature eventually. Then I'd be all in and off google. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Aside from Bitcoin/Finance, what are your three favorite hobbies? Here's mine: 1. Running (Built a lifestyle business around this) 2. Learning to DIY Everything (Cooking, home projects, tech, etc) 3. Soccer (Mostly just watching it for now... hopefully playing a little some day) #asknostr #bitcoin #running #diy #soccer npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Exciting to hear this!! npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I went for a walk in my old neighborhood one night and heard this song playing from a second floor window. Three random guys were playing a cover of it in their living room. It was amazing. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf one click zapped you a couple of times by mistake but you deserve it haha npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf thanks! npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Good post! I spent some time today trying to figure out this Zap thing. I just sent you my first Zap of 10 sats and it seems to have gone through! Can anyone see if I have a @primal lightning address on my profile and can receive zaps? I set up a lighting wallet using the Primal app but don't see an address on my profile like I see for other people on here. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Thank you, BBB. Interesting points to consider. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Thanks for your response, Stu. You may be right. But what if you are wrong? npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Great points. Thanks for your response. Obviously everyone is going to come to a different conclusion about what the correct asset allocation is for them and that will change over time. Self-custody is a really powerful tool. My grandfather actually had to flee his country to escape genocide when he was 10 years old and his family smuggled gold out of the country by hiding it in his clothes. So I get the value of self-custody and the benefits it provides. Your point about "not trusting the state" is an interesting one. I'm lucky to live in the USA who I think is more trustworthy than most governments (at least for now). I'm willing to let reputable custodians hold stocks for me, but feel empowered knowing how to move stocks asset to btc self custody if needed in a time of crisis. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I agree that Bitcoin is likely the best asset in the world, but what if it proves not to be? Bitcoin is just software created and run by fallible humans after all (not too dissimilar to stocks which are claims to businesses run by humans). Going 100% into any one asset or asset class is risky. Diversification is one of the most important lessons we can take from investing. Buying 100% bitcoin may make you incredibly rich, but it may also make you incredibly poor. We can have faith and conviction that it will go up (like I do), but that doesn't change reality. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf What a wonderful post and beautiful cat! Thank you for sharing these insights. I'm finding NOSTR to be a very refreshing take on social media. Holding bitcoin, when diversified in a portfolio to your risk tolerance, can give a lot of peace of mind. Set it and forget it. Hopefully in 10x years it's life changing money. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Can someone explain to me why so many Bitcoiners are anti-stocks? Is it just an "all or nothing" Bitcoin-Maxi thing? Investing as much of your income in the US Total Market or S&P500 Index as possible is pretty much a sure-fire way to become wealthy and support American enterprise. It's way less risky than putting "all your eggs in one basket" with something like BTC. #bitcoin #asknostr npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I think this is wise. Most people don't understand money or investing to begin with. Bitcoin is still complicated and not user friendly unfortunately. I think people around the world will come to it if and when they are ready and have a true need for it. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Yikes! Good job. I was just teaching a friend about the importance of this, but admittedly I told him most people never do it and neither have I. I probably should! Did you use a special tool or technique to get that stuff out? npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf That sounds like paying for advertising. Do we want that on NOSTR? npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf The best part about Craigslist is you don't need to have Facebook ๐ npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Congrats on the move! Always an exciting time! Sorry to hear about your package being stolen. I recently switched to using a PO BOX for my personal mail and delivery to Amazon Lockers when ordering from there. It's certainty "less convenient" than home delivery but it adds privacy and security... plus I like taking the trip to pickup the mail. Also may I recommend a book? How To Resist Amazon And Why (2nd Edition): The Fight for Local Economics, Data Privacy, Fair Labor, Independent Bookstores, and a People-Powered Future! by Danny Caine. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf If we can remove an unnecessary middle man, then why don't we? After 18 years of exclusively using #creditcards for all purchases made in person, I've switched to using #cash this year. Using cash has feels much more in line with my values. Paying with cash gives the full value of your money to the recipient, encourages you to spend less, and gives you #privacy. Paying with credit deprives a significant amount from the recipient, encourages you to spend more (even when you pay it off in full each month), and removes your privacy. I still use a 2%-points-back credit card when necessary, but I'm convinced I spend at least 2% less by using cash over credit whenever possible. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Been using this for a few weeks as my first "introduction to AI". It's a really powerful tool. Been using it to support my work by helping me write emails, written responses, and formulate ideas around educational content. It's kind of scary how powerful it is. npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf Such an incredible race! npub1dpfdkalfg4n8cr23wmccnx6l55y67xpj75cnfr3jxl8lypst22qq4f9x05 graywolf I love your comment, "Being frugal is to be free." I've felt that my whole life. Know how and being willing to "downside" if needed is a super power. Another thing I've learned in the past 5 years is that, "Knowing how to make money through self-employment is to be free." Combining the skills of "Frugal" + "Making Your Own Money" is a very resilient and calming way of life. One risk is to not be so frugal that your life becomes more stressful. A recent learning example for me was keeping my old work computer for far too long. It was slow and extremely stressful to use. Upgrading to a new and relatively expensive one has saved me countless hours of work and stress. Lesson learned: don't overpay for a tool. Buy the right tool for your needs, but also know when to replace it. Following your content here on NOSTR!
