Also, happy to say I'll be in Vegas for the BTC conference this 2025. Anyone else get their tickets?

Oh, also don't ⚡️ me until I work out my lightning stuff. It's still set up for Wallet of Satoshi (I KNOW, lazy on my part).

Tried making an Asian/Alfredo shrimp pasta. Made… this. 😅

Exit 301, I-75, Florida

@Cyborg, how have you been?

I just wanna be on a beach late into the night in Miami with all my nostriches. What a blast that was.

Just set up a new member of the Bitcoin meetup with WoS. Let’s ⚡️zap ⚡️’em!!

Finished my recertification for A+ literally an hour before it expired. Seriously need to get on top of stuff like this but I ALWAYS wait until the deadline. 😅

One of the best things about Nostr (at least currently) is that the fakes can’t fake their follower count telling them apart from the real ones.

What’s a good iOS app to edit videos for video memes?

Hey everyone, just wanted to update those that care why I’ve been gone for a while. I had a mental health episode where I thought my life was in danger and hospitalized. As a veteran, I have some non-combat PTSD that affects me. I got a little too obsessed with Bitcoin where it really affected me. Started believing that it was co-opted by the WEF because of posts I was seeing on Nostr and Twitter. Even if it were, I have no clue how I could impact it in any way. I haven’t been open to many about this to non-Bitcoin friends because they just don’t get it. So thanks for reading this if you’ve gotten this far. I will be practicing to be balanced with Bitcoin since it’s only a tool to have a better life, not the only thing that matters. Thanks for the supportive friends I’ve made with you all. 🫶

It has been a HAWT minute since I've been on NOSTR. Been busy, but the first thing I'm seeing is @Gigi and other posting about seed oils.

Sometimes I like to make up creative writing prompts whenever I have a random idea. I write occasionally, but not professionally by any means. I thought up this writing prompt today and thought I’d share it. I’ll send 2,100 sats to anyone that writes a human-written reply that I personally like. No minimum/maximum word count, but should be SFW. I have tools to detect AI written content, so give it a shot if you like anyway… if I don’t catch it, easy money (as long as it’s still good 😂). Prompt👇🏽 _____________________ Fiction - multiple contained stories/protagonists from different election years or countries - some stories dystopian, some utopian (positive or negative variations of both). “Set some years/decades after 2030, personal privacy has been made obsolete (read: illegal OR heavily monetized relative to present day) and Presidential and Prime Ministers are “voted on” by the public. The candidates are randomly selected by Artificial General Intelligence Country Operating Systems (AGICOS) from a pool of viable candidates across the country based on a number of characteristics, achievements, archetypes, and ideologies. Viable candidates can be of any social class, but they are only given 6 months of preparation time, xxxBTC (captured allotment of BTC stuck within a country’s financial firewall; xxx = country identifier), and must have a clean record (either legitimately or faked/concealed).”
