Your true potential is unrealised. But life is transformation, enter into the void state before expanding into your heart. Enter into the not knowing, the mystery and the infinite.

I'm also on a similar journey - at tarot I used to get the teacher card and my heart would start pounding. Why me, what do I have to teach, why would people want to listen to me. But little by little life keep guiding me in this direction - people show up wanting to learn about bitcoin, sovereignty and the journey within. We all have a voice to teach. Anyway I just woke up and rubbing my eyes, its like a dream come true I can learn Qigong in the Algarve and pay sats. Does life get any better than this! What a time to be alive ✨. I will be back in a couple of weeks and I look forward to it. Good luck 🙏 npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB overrated is the community in my experience, still a lot of fear, ego and separation - more hype than unity. Underated is if bitcoin is used correctly it can replace the entire legacy system and bring humanity into a flourishing new era. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB The greatest art is to live well npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB I just checked, actually I paid £153 until Friday😅, then im moving to a hostel yes found it on airbnb 👍 npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Sorry im NOSTR only so I cant watch.

Now they are making it up as they go along or in other words flying by the seat of their pants. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB You're right, anyone still in the system and skeptical about Bitcoin should study history and fiat more. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Antibiotics are like trying to remove one invasive species by carpet-bombing the forest.

It doesnt align with my values, I believe we should treat each other how we wish to be treated. He has a large audience and big influence in the space and that I think comes with responsibilty. I felt it would end like this I hope noderunners can wake up before walking off a cliff with the 110 extremists. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Unsubscribed ✅ unfollowed on NOSTR ✅ npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB The photos havent loaded yet but im loving it anyway! npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB The bit they are missing is its up to us to make bitcoin money. Not by saying its money or changing the protocol ro make it money but by actually going out there and spending it and getting merchanta to accept it in the real world.

But he broke their chains. Then he was enslaved by the kings. But he broke their chains. He was enslaved by his birth, by his kin, by his race. But he broke their chains. He declared to all his brothers that a man has rights which neither god nor king nor other men can take away from him, no matter what their number, for his is the right of man, and there is no right on earth above this right. And he stood on the threshold of freedom for which the blood of the centuries behind him had been spilled. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Turn everything off, cold facecloth over your eyes, chamomile tea and slow gentle deep breaths npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB This is a well measured response, Im running knots BIP110 but find myself gradually moving towards this way of thinking 👆 npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Its funny that you dont have to be above a certain age to buy a digital device or a phone, and you dont have to be above a certain age to buy internet or airtime vouchers yet these new age restrictions are being introduced online in the name of child safety.

Its not personal Im just fundamentally against these loans and fancy financial products like ETF's, stonks etc. Its only my take on it but I feel once you put your Bitcoin in a multisig where you dont control all the keys its no longer your bitcoin and you move back to the permisioned trust model. From my limited understanding I also think its centralising, kycing and tying up more bitcoin which could be circulating/spent and keeps the fiat game we are supposed to defunding alive. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB I was saying this at a talk on Bitcoin yesterday and 2 separate people said to me but Michael Saylor said we should never sell our Bitcoin 😬 npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Did they put the Argentina rugby team on by mistake 😲 npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Hey, Great work 🙏I had many thoughts about writing a similar book and I am meeting Igor next week...

I arrived later to the BTC Prague conference, I think it was around midday. I walked a few km's from my appartment, so I headed straight to the refreshments outside the main door. When I asked to pay in sats the lady was surprised, she told me it would be her first Bitcoin transaction. I thought this is unusual, Im here ay Europes biggest bitcoin conference and I am the first one to pay in bitcoin right outside the door...Anyway I proceeded to settle in lightning using my Bullbitcoin wallet but to my transaction failed. We tried several times and several other wallets but we could not get it paid! The kind lady at the stall with the delicious homemade food and drinks offered to get help from the company that supplied the terminals to look at it and I set off inside to find the Bull Bitcoin stand to also ask for help. I went inside to the corporate area I was overwhelmed it was like going back in time to the conferences I used to work at in the Uk 25 years ago. Bright lights, flashy stands and constant talking without feelimg the life I had escaped. Still on my mission to buy a bottle of water, I found the Bull stand and spoke to the first guy, he paaaed me on to someone else and I waited patiently. Long story short they told me their wallet was not compatible with the terminals there. No sorry, no solutions and no signs of embaressment at the irony of it all. Unimpressed I head back to the refreshment stand and the guy from the terminals is there. We go through some of the other wallets and it fails and he doesnt understand why but kindly pays for my water himaelf and leaves. There is a lot more I am going to say about the whole experience but for now I akin these conferences to the covid protests. An echo chamber where masses gather to let off steam, worship heros ans feel the hopium before returning home to hodl and pay in fiat supporting the system they oppose. I just want to leave you with the thought of a packed room appluading Saylors financial products, trillions of wealth coming to bitcoin and me a few hundred metres away unable to use digital cash to buy a bottle of water and nobody really caring about that. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Nothing like an encounter with a snake to bring you into present moment awareness npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB I think the real success is to start small (on the side) and slow growth organically. Then no pressure paying off loans even the Bitcoin backed loans are risky so many get margin called and wrecked. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Thank goodness thats that settled then. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Yes but that could be down to him numbing himself with drugs and alchohol, every emotion and feeling is valid. If you are not feeling, your not living. The only way out is through. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB Better to live one day in the truth than a lifetime of lies. npub1vcf0gtgsyn9z7d4t42z8966u2ffmym3k3yyu7qrzrpvvrcz78npq0v9lwl PilgrimB fiat incentives
