Last Notes npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko #Bitcoin #Philosophy #travel #IT #Business #Spirituality npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko While that may be true, I bet if we asked the average person to solve a complex math problem without a calculator, most would have a hard time solving that by hand. They end up depending on the calculator and assume that it gives them the right answer. I’m wondering if we eventually do the same when we ask AGI questions? It’s like speaking a 2nd language. “If you don’t use it you lose it” npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko If we get to a point where humans depend on AI for everything, following every piece of advice it provides because “it knows best”, causing us to eventually lose our own intelligence, who’s the actual robot in this situation? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Thanks! I’m leaning toward 1 as well but I’m torn!! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko @npub1sg6…f63m Is there a way to let my teen buy more than $400/mo in the CashApp? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko 1.) It made me have to take several shits a day. 2.) After a while, my body needed it and became an addiction. 3.) Buying coffee was expensive (I could make it at home but going out and buying coffee was more of a thing to do) npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko https://m.primal.net/HgCK.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Don’t forget, stay humble and stack sats. https://m.primal.net/Hftd.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Has anyone watched or read "The Great Taking" yet by David Rogers Webb? He outlines a terrifying scenario where everyone's assets (stocks/bonds/cash) held at the banks will essentially be taken during this next crisis. What are the chances the governments allow this scenario to play out vs another Fed bailout? Fear porn or possible? YouTube Documentary: https://youtu.be/dk3AVceraTI?si=alXUhm4No-6yzSvk E-Book: https://www.thegreattaking.com npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I feel like Paul Revere calling all my normie friends letting them know the institutions are coming because the Bitcoin ETF has been approved. https://image.nostr.build/e4fe3387253c7a7171a68a11e230b3fc5fa8817e29b986e51ac446bbfc10f3a9.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Your private key can still be compromised on NOSTR if not secured properly. I wonder if there could be something like Multisig for decentralized social media accounts. 2 of 3 required to post and sign, only 1 needed to login. #note1685…aml4 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Not your keys, not your post. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I still have my kid go door-to-door asking neighbors to mow their lawn and shovel snow to earn money for things they want to buy. My kids will probably not have to work a day in their life when they get older, but I’m making sure they know what it means to work hard now (2 kids under 14). All about how you raise them. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko The number of people who are in the “I have nothing to hide” camp is frightening. They won’t care about any privacy issues like this unfortunately. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko What are people using to keep your data and communications private. Here are some suggestions. 1.) Cloud storage: encrypt any data stored on the cloud with PGP. Anyone using NextCloud with E2EE? 2.) Email: Move away from public services like GMail to something like Proton. Encrypt using PGP when possible. 3.) Mobile phones: Enable Apple Advanced Data Protection for E2EE at a minimum. This is not enabled by default. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651 4.) Money: Encrypt your money using Bitcoin 5.) Messaging: If using Apple Advanced Data Protection, iMessage could be ok. Otherwise, using SimpleX or Signal for messaging. 6.) Web Browsing: Route all traffic over a VPN tunnel. Nord or Proton could be useful here. Combine this with using TOR when possible. 7.) Laptop: Encrypt your entire hard drive using something like FireVault on MacBooks. None of these are perfect, but they should help keep ISPs, Cloud Providers or Cell Providers from watching your data. Am I missing any? #note1q07…307y npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Encrypt your data. Encrypt your communications. Encrypt your money. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Are there any cool Bitcoin projects folks are working on that need funding? Where is the best place to find and connect with these people? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I hear ya, @npub1gsc…tpjp Feels like doom and gloom are the only posts that get engagement these days. I’d rather touch grass but I keep coming back for the occasional hit of dopamine. 🤷♂️ npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Has anyone checked their local brokerage firm using the FINRA website? https://brokercheck.finra.org/ Specifically check out the disclosures. Some firms have over 2,000 pages of allegations and fines from the regulators. Absolute insanity and terrifying at the same time. 👀 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Pick up a Passport and put all 3 in a 3 of 5 Multisig. Best of both worlds. 💪 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Travel more.. Worry Less. https://image.nostr.build/ff735ccc353a01c0cd076b0c8de0cb24bd95906a5be9495e5eaa2748f362eae2.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I have one and have recommended to several friends who have also purchased. I don’t use the Envoy app personally though. Same platform as ColdCard with better UI / QR code ability making it more user friendly. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Does anyone use proton mail? Is it worth a switch from GMail? I like how all emails are encrypted as soon as they are received with your public key; however, they are still accessible before they hit your inbox by Proton so there is still some level of trust there unless you use end-to-end encryption which doesn’t seem feasible for every single message you send. Thoughts? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Your money in the bank isn’t your money. I always knew this, but today I really experienced this. I went to the local branch for my bank in person to make 3 wire payments for a large amount. I provided my ID, and authenticated into the account with a text to my phone. After asking me where the money came from, what it was for and where it was going, the bank refused to send my wires, even though one of the transfers was to an account in my name at another bank! The reason was simply “Because I don’t know you and it’s a large wire transfer”. Do I need to take the branch manager out to dinner to get to know them before I’m allowed to move my own money? If you verify my ID, see me in person, and authenticate to my device, what else do you need!! It’s always all in the name of safety and security though. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Something about logging my deep thoughts using Apple’s new Journal feature just doesn’t seem right. It’s the one part of someone’s life that shouldn’t be shared online! I’ll stick to paper and pen for now. Anyone else trying this? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko There’s a “break glass” feature allowing you to move to another wallet, but I’m not sure if you can access the keys directly. https://bitkey.build/content/files/2023/11/Bitkey-Recovery-Features.pdf npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko My Umbrel node stopped syncing 5 days ago. I notice that “connections” shows 0 peers. I also notice some weird things like not being able to login to Tailscale from the Umbrel node. Clicking on the links doesn’t do anything. I checked the community forum and seems like others have reporting something similar but no responses. Anyone see this before? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Nord support got back to me and told me their Onion over VPN services have been faulty. Sounds like this might be a known issue and there is currently no ETA for a fix. If anyone has another Onion over VPN service for mobile devices they use, please let me know! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Has anyone been able to successfully use NordVPN’s “Onion over VPN” specialty servers? I get stuck at “assigning IP address” for some servers. The ones that do eventually connect don’t allow me to access any .onion sites. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko The ability to host your own SimpleX SMP server might be coming to Umbrel soon! https://nostr.build/i/ca4c988ca70c627be3488f6c7c06bc7ab0b1d58a754903c1c1df3f25bddc9e97.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko It’s not where he keeps his longterm savings stack. It’s more for quick transactions. All his savings gets swept into cold storage that’s in self custody. 💪 (part of his learning process) npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I set my 13-year old up with a Bitcoin wallet a couple days ago so he can save half the money he receives from umpiring baseball games in Bitcoin! Needless to say, he’s excited to see that his money earned money while he was sleeping and is slowly starting to get it. If you wanted to share a little sat love with him, here’s his wallet! lnbc1pjfy4pmpp50c8qvssjq596fcw7qfedtcw5putnzfhe9wqu8adeywxdgcnjqy9sdqu2askcmr9wssx7e3q2dshgmmndp5scqzzsxqyz5vqsp5fs5k8tgyzl9vtpwk43wwgwq22jhwfzxcf8pe6xynmdfhmdhk6q2s9qyyssqqsss42ttwzuy0ww52s822ysqqj2wnk4jhm9nhyalefm5v3ywzr64l85v7pegng63achl0lg7vt0aknezqw53zuh2hxqmpvafj0k5efqqug9rzt https://nostr.build/i/92f26da0c4891bad3c7afb45be9a920218e79339bbd569a9a133542d8c11b411.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko My total caloric intake consists of about 40-50% from protein which is about 180-190grams. I also only have a 6-8 hour feeding window. Only 30 of those grams come from a protein shake. Lunch has about 60 grams of protein and dinner has about 85. If I’m crunched for time and can’t make a good meal, I’ll have 2 x 30 gram shakes. I feel it’s always best to get protein from natural, nutrient dense foods as often as I can. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I was trying to install this on my Mac today for a test transcription project. Apparently it’s not supported on my old system! An excuse to upgrade? I think so. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Thanks! I ended up using qrcode within Python. Worked perfectly. https://pypi.org/project/qrcode/ npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Can anyone recommend open source software to create a QR code locally without having to share that data with an external service? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko 💡🔗 In Plato's cave, people perceive shadows as reality, until they step into the sunlight and discover the truth. Similarly, #Bitcoin shines a light on the flaws of traditional finance, revealing the potential for a more transparent and equitable system. Just as stepping out of the cave brings enlightenment, embracing Bitcoin brings financial freedom, decentralization, and a chance to redefine the rules of the game. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko The food we are told to eat as Americans is poison for our bodies. The numbers of changing that tell the full story. After #[1] inspired me to get my shit together and get healthier on April 7th 2023, I started the following: 1.) Adopted a paleo/carnivore-style diet (50% Protein, 45% fat, 5% carbs as a % of total calories) Mainly red meat, chicken, pork, and fish. 2.) Total body weight lifting routine every single day (Upper/lower split every other day) for 30-60 min tops. 2 x 20 min walks a day. Averaging about 7k steps a day, trying to get this to 10k). 3.) Started intermittent fasting. Last meal of the day 5pm. First meal of the day 11am-12pm. Always started my workout after fasting 16 hours min. Trying to remain in Ketosis and resting periodically with PerfectKeto strips. Results: 1.) Weight down 15+lbs from 187 to 171 in less than 2 months. 2.) Dropped over 5% body fat. 3.) Resting heart rate consistently below 60. (mid 50s now from high 60s) 4.) ALT levels dropped by over 15%. Take the time to care for yourself. It can be easy to get caught up with work and think you have no time. Like #[2] said, “you can change it if you want to”. No amount of money in the world is worth more than your health. What do you want more? https://nostr.build/i/5935248e108cb615e45d583bc189e31ff9f316102c71d403ffca69b085d405f3.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Thanks for the feedback. Promises for delivery, payment, or something else? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Extremely difficult to put on muscle quickly but extremely easy to lose muscle quickly if you stop for a brief period of time! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Hey #[1] - Are you still mining with compass by chance? If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get started? Has anyone down the calculation to determine what cost for the miner and hosting does it make or not make sense to mine? Thanks! https://nostr.build/i/389632587732e658bf798930ad6ac07297d2a70d3f6b0b5654ef4a29f9c1004d.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Good stuff! I’d love to try a Passport device. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko If you had to show 1 video on YouTube to someone explaining what Bitcoin is and why it’s important, which video would you send and what specifically stood out to you about that? Let me know! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Be your own bank… Be your own doctor… Be your own security… Be your own author… If you don’t like the book you’re reading, turn the page. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Almost forgot! The icing on the cake is connecting this setup to your own Bitcoin node on Umbrel, and verifying transactions using Mempool. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko BlueWallet and ColdCard seem to go together like Peanut butter and jelly, Kool-Aid and water, or even Ham and Cheese. It’s super simple to manage Multisig from your mobile device while having the security of cold storage. Has anyone else put together a better setup than these two tools, especially for a Multisig for a family-office or small business? Let me know! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Check out NetHopper.IO if you’re using K8. It’s a platform built on top of open source tools like ArgoCD, Skupper, HELM, & Prometheus giving you the ability to deploy K8 across any private/public cloud with a single dashboard. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko “The Power of Now” might be one to add to the list. Might have to read it a couple times. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I don’t even know where the light switches are in my house anymore since I always ask Alexa to turn them off and on. Now that I think of it, maybe Alexa had them removed from the walls? 🤷♂️ npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Going back in time with my next 2 reads for April/May. Anyone read this before? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_56a9a29fab2052df697b9302dbaf076f2c6d64cdefb1acb9161515f1f77f351e.jpeg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Αληθώς Ανέστη! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Can anyone help put me in touch with someone from Boston Bruins Foundation to process a payment for a happy birthday message to my son on the video scoreboard for this Monday’s game? I submitted the form but need to pay via CC before Monday! Thanks! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Time is the great equalizer and it is all we really have. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I’ve hired professional videographers in the past to create client testimonials for my last business. The cost varied between $2,500-$5k/interview. It could prob be done with a lot less from someone who is just getting started. I would think a short documentary could get the message across with 10-15 interviews (a few who are homeless, a few real estate investors, 1 macro pro, an organization that helps homeless people (I’m thinking someone like CodeOfVets.com) and obviously some Bitcoin names. Ideally someone who is charismatic, well-spoken and educated in the space like #[3] or #[4] would be the main interviewer. I’d pony up a good amount of sats for this project to raise awareness if there is community interest. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Wow. What a great take and I completely agree. I was literally just driving my wife to her doctor appointment in downtown Boston and there are homeless people all around the surrounding area. I was thinking to myself how we got here, and how broken the money system is. I was even thinking of paying a team to create a documentary on this exact issue to raise awareness. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko When someone says “I’m too busy” it just means that what they are asked to do is not a priority to them. There are 168 hours in a week. - 8 hours a day sleeping = 112 hours / week. - 8 hours a day working = 56 hours per week. - 1 hour a day doing housework (cooking, cleaning etc) = 49 hours per week - 2 hours per day for sports (if you have kids) 35 hours per week. Make it a priority. When you track where you are spending your time on useless activities, you can make time for things that are important. One exercise I do with my kids is enable the screen time feature on their iPhone and console gaming systems. I show them objectively how much time they are spending on these activities, and ask them if they spent event 15 min of that time practicing their sport (hockey / baseball / training) how much they think they would improve at their favorite activity. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko There’s a women who runs a charity called “Code of Vets”. She helps homeless vets meet basic needs who aren’t being helped by the system. She posts “missions” on Twitter for individuals that need help and what they need. https://www.codeofvets.com npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I’m trying with Strike. I usually just use WOS which works fine. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I get “the request is invalid” when trying to zap directly from your profile, and “invalid bitcoin address” when zapping your post. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Is there anyone home? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko They’re all yours now. Pass them on to your grandkids. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I got 35 of them out. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Pour one out for my 40 Sats. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_dcb8dfb127ce7eb3a9456b00aafca2f8ba8eb2198535b5228d7df9d7c3bb2fca.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko My road math was way off. Totally ignore my 1st grade math skills. I was going off your “With a maximum supply of 21,000,000, there will never be enough bitcoin for every millionaire own even one.” I subtracted Saylor’s stack from your figure of 22 and 55 millionaires for some reason. Carry on. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko If you just take out Saylor’s stack, there are only enough Bitcoin for 55,860,000 millionaires worldwide and 21,860,000 to hold one bitcoin. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko What kind of books do you like reading, #[1] ? I find I’ve been watching more educational video content on a subject vs reading them in “self-help books”. When I need to take a break from reality, I try to find books based on the multiverse. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I stared at this message for 5 minutes before dropping to the floor and giving you 10. 💪 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko 💪 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Too much bear porn on Twitter. Not only around Bitcoin, but massive amounts of negativity going on around the world. While it’s important to be in tune with what’s happening, constant reminders isn’t great for mental health. I have enough information right now to focus on making the world a better place within my community as a starting point without stressing out over all the bear porn. My life improved 10x since I dropped Twitter. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Thanks for the push, #[2] 💪 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko #[0] Motivated me to get my ass into shape last week when discussing resting heart rates. Since then, my diet has been on point, exercise has been consistent and I’ve spent more time outdoors. I’ve also spent less time on my phone (screen time down 40% vs last week). It’s still early, but results look promising. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_82b4191292a2023a4c161eb2bc33bdd0a86d0b82144eff19de9b541d66ddfec2.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I’ll have to add that to my reading list. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Because it’s high in MCT, it’s metabolized differently. They are broken down by the liver and converted into ketones helping accelerate moving into Ketosis (if that’s your goal). npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Never used them. I just use unrefined coconut oil. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Greek Easter is right around the corner. We don’t let any part of that lamb go to waste, head to toe. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Today I helped lift up other Bitcoiners around the world by exchanging my US Dollars for Bitcoin. This amount of Bitcoin will be removed forever from the 21M Bitcoin that will ever exist, increasing the total value for those who hold Bitcoin with me. As #[0] beautifully said, Bitcoin is the only asset where altruism, self-interests, and freedom are all aligned. 💪 If you can’t actively accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin by offering products and services, simply hodling is a huge contribution for everyone involved. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Not sure where you’re hosting these servers (AWS, Google, Azure etc). If you’re using one of those, make sure you contact your account manager and apply for funding in the form of credits. It takes 5 min. Most will give up to $100k in credits for those backed by VC, and smaller amount for those that aren’t. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Days like today serve as a reminder that I don’t have enough Bitcoin. 🤦♂️ npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Have to be prepared. Anyone could come banging through the back door! 😉 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Gold runs deep some cultures. I don’t think it’s smart has to say “dump this for that.” Simply highlight the attributes of an asset and let people come to their own conclusion of what’s better to own and they will allocate accordingly. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko They would inherent whatever Bitcoin is left over using a step-up in cost basis. So if you bought it at $10k, you died when it was $100k, they inherit the Bitcoin like they bought it at $100k and shouldn’t have to pay any gains until it’s sold above that. Estate planning is key. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I found some cool art in my morning coffee cup today. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_c9a9cca0026b07f68426e4b49668f8d4699bfdc0d1378ecff4084f3f34061233.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Learning the Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Same exact situation here. Adjust my diet to about 5% total calories from carbs (<20g max), enter a state of Ketosis and 10lb gone in 4-5 weeks max. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko “It’s funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes There's no dollar sign on a peace of mind this I've come to know So if you agree have a drink with me Raise your glasses for a toast” - Zac Brown Band npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko GM! https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_41f4f55385c23378714f5295e7d1001910ea4581e8b5e4c79cdf3d662d788ab7.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Does #[0] also use Cross River Bank / Prime Trust to purchase Bitcoin? If operation Chokepoint 2.0 takes CRB out, who is left to facilitate on/off ramps to continue to adoption of Bitcoin? Am I overly concerned about this? #[1] npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Extremely difficult. I lasted a week. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko There’s something calming about making pour over coffee listening to “Morning acoustic” playlist in the morning. That’s where I find my zen. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_41f4f55385c23378714f5295e7d1001910ea4581e8b5e4c79cdf3d662d788ab7.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko The bots have arrived. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I wipe my ass each morning with fiat. We are not the same. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_4fa1ae3dfa011faba6e5e79f60f5342bd5b6bb8ba050e6e55fda06cc3ff90787.jpg npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Sounds like I’m in the right place then. npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko What else is there? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I appreciate that! I’ll certainly look into it! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Oh thank God! I was really hoping there wasn’t a ✅ next to coffee! That’s my only vice!! npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Get after it #[7] 💪 npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko Thanks. I tried the mask but it is BEYOND uncomfortable. I feel like I get less sleep when wearing it. I was looking at Inspire, just not sure I’m ready for that. It’s not fun that’s for sure. 🤷♂️ npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko #[6] Want to be my gym/health accountability buddy? npub1vdhakn0pjj728x4np26hjw3chrg4cxcup2tg6p8hlc2wkxn233pqmf4pts Niko I thought so at first to. I was “entertaining” every night as a business owner taking clients and vendors for drinks. One day I said “fuck it, this is dumb. No more”. One day turned into 2+ years.
