Sharing some of my biggest changes in 2023
- I overcame my fear of writing in English
I used to be a bit shy when sharing things in English and even hired a native to proofread them, but now I share everything raw and even dare to share in a place full of smart people! I guess better focus on the value you provide instead of worrying about grammar or typos.
I started to write exactly on this day 6 years ago ( in another language ); I've made many mistakes and learned a lot from it, and yes - writing is one of the best POWs out there, I recommend everyone give it a try!
- I stopped buying stupid things
I deleted all the online shopping sites' accounts early this year and started to learn how to make things with my bare hand by being around craftsmen. Much proof coming up soon:) I guess this change is largely because I put most of my savings into BTC - precious money deserves real quality.
- I stopped using any makeup and use natural skincare only
I reached my fiat skincare peak in 2022 when I was in Amsterdam with many shopping bags from all kinds of brands, and I realized how stupid I was! Now I only use simple soap + oil + hamma, and my skin might be the best I've ever seen:)
what are your biggest changes this year? 👀
In a world full of options, identifying what you want the most might be the hardest part - too many options are distracting.
Not sure what I did right, my eyelash has been growing visibly since this summer.
- could it be the water?
- could it be the food?
- could it be because I don't do any harm to them? ( no more mascara, nothing....)
I guess it might have something to do with the water, I just came back to where I've been staying and noticed people around me have so much nicer eyelashes and hair - nature is full of magic 🪄
Maybe the day you stopped paying attention to the price, you became a real Bitcoiner.
If you still care so much about the price, even timing it to sell back to fiat, you still have a lot to learn.


Everytime when I see people cheering for politicians using Bitcoin, me be like real Bitcoiners can't be governed, yet they want Bitcoiners vote for them, funny.
Don't fall for it...
Only put what you are willing to lose in banks.
一件很有趣的事 🧐
其实Hack the Skills支持闪电网络一段时间了,但怎么很少人选择这个更优雅的方式?省钱省时,还好玩,是不是暗示我要多科普哈哈?
Just went to the restaurant again and showed the owner how to use LN - way faster, lower fee and more fun ⚡️


One of the most delicious breakfast dishes you can make or as a salad: mixing tomatoes, cucumbers, thymes and olive oil.
So EASY and healthy ✨
Bitcoin changed me a lot, but whom I met during the journey of learning Bitcoin changed me the most.

Being a Bitcoiner means you finally realized all the things that claim to "help" but actually to enslave you.
The whole system is built by people who thrive on human miseries, wake up.
Taught a few Cantonese words to friends, and here is what they wrote:
do ce = teşekkürler ( thanks )
ım say ha hey = rica ederim ( you're welcome )
which reminded me that's how I learned English too: using familiar sounds to make sense of new sounds 😆

I used to be one of those city people who keep buying things, but now I enjoy finding craftsmen to make things together.
Not only does it slow down the whole "buying" process, but also I can see with my eyes how things are being made from scratch. But the most important part is I really need to *think* about what I want because the last thing you want is to make something useless and ended up wasting so much time and money.
But then why do so many people still work in a job they hate and buy useless things so to impress people they do not even like?
One of the most delicious things I have discovered this year is Lutenitsa from Bulgarian mums, mixed with tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers 🤤
It's so good but barely anyone talks about it, weird.
If you are wondering why I got so much time to learn, I guess mostly because I muted all political things, news, and toxic people in my life. 🫡
Learned how to make paper yesterday 🤓 It can be either made from recycled paper or trees.
It is amazing how you can play around making different sizes and thicknesses, coloring with herbs, decorating with flowers, or even experimenting the smell with essential oils.


Something interesting I have noticed:
1) Not everyone can see beauty even if it is right in front of them.
2) Or they are too busy seeing EVERYTHING and then end up seeing NOTHING.
