I never want payment for the baklava I give out at conferences, but I couldn't stop a few of you who zapped me on Nostr. Well played! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿค™

BitBlockBoom Beefsteak next week is gonna be lit. Baking the turtle baklava is easy enough. Takes about 20 minutes to assemble the pastry and an hour to bake. Dipping 160 small pieces first into golden chocolate, and then again into milk chocolate, takes about 5 hours! Hope you guys enjoy it. It's my culinary masterpiece. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ™ image

I used to allow toxic people into my life. Energy vampires who ridiculed & belittled me. Life didn't get better until I cut them off completely. Respect yourself and be assertive. Don't allow these types to drag you down.

Flew a plane for fun yesterday with my former instructor. Loved everyone minute, and still comfortable with my decision to not become a pilot. ๐Ÿ˜„ image

Today I'm celebrating 11 years with my wife! Being married to a freedom loving bitcoiner is the best. We worked together at Blockchain(dot)info as the first two employees for 5 years. Anyone who has ever worked for a startup knows how crazy it can be, especially the early days. It's not a 9-5, it's a 24/7. We've watched Bitcoin go from < $10 ancap money to what it is today. We couldn't have made it through all those ups and downs without being aligned philosophically. It's not all about Bitcoin, of course, but the freedom movement is how we met. It started with that foundation and grew into a deep bond. Here's to the next 11 years, and many more after! ๐Ÿฅ‚
