Once you figure out how something works, then learn how to simplify it - when you can simplify it without affecting the "performance" ( e.g. with fewer tools or less setups ), it means you really *understand* it. Doing more with less is the way.

Some of the fun I've tested last night ⚡️ 1. Claimed natalia@cashu-address.com, zap some sats and receive in @eNuts ⚡️🌰, smooth. You can do the same here: https://app.cashu-address.com/, built by @Egge, and don't be reckless when you do the tests! I'm still trying to figure out the best user case for this address, maybe I will test it in Nostr for a while - you are helping to test it whenever you zap me here:) 2. Played around with minting in LNbits. Everyone can be a banker now: LNbits - Cashu - new Mint, but you need to *earn trust* to be one, instead of asking permissions from any authorities. What a time to be alive:)

Who would build the road? Bitcoiners - they might even write you a map with all the tips and tricks, or even teach you how to build it; One of the things I really admire about Bitcoiners is how self-driven some of them are. Toxic ( honesty ) from the outside but deep down really caring or even loving from the inside, yet most people are easily fooled by the wools in sheep's clothing...

testing @eNuts ⚡️🌰 it's quite cool, and it reminds me how some people use their own "chips" to pay for tea and other things as value exchange ( within a small area ) , but you should only do these with people you trust.

I used to wear black or darker color clothes when I was living in cities, not sure exactly why now that I think about it, but maybe that's the safer color when you order online, or perhaps that's one of the colors always available in most shops... It reminded me how in some cities you mostly see people wearing black, especially in winter, quite depressing and cold. Now I'm a bit "adventurous" wearing brighter colors, well, it's hard not to when you are being shown different beauties along the way during daily walks, it really brightens up your moods. 🌼

I think cooking every day on top of working/learning can be quite tiring, sharing some of the hacks I've learned so far: - wash and cut all the ingredients after buying them - cook more, then put some of them into the fridge - precook some of the ingredients that take time to prepare, like chickpeas, so they can come in handy later on What's your meal panning hack? 👀

Once you see it, you can't unsee it 😂 - stacking kebab is the way!

How to Free Yourself 1. Learn about Bitcoin EVERYDAY. 2. Figure out how to free your time, aka create leverage for your work, e.g. coding, writing, creating. 3. Use all the extra time that you have to think about what you want in life. 4. Focus on stacking those skills which are needed to make *what you want* happen. 5. Share or teach what you've learned throughout the way and inspire others. 6. More learning = more sharing = more sats. Advancing level: study natural law and understand yourself - you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop.

Many people wait for things to happen or for someone else to solve problems for them, and that's what creates miseries in the first place - you should take the matter into your own hands, it's called self-responsibility, and that is what can ultimately set you free.

I really like oud - beautiful, deep and powerful.

Growing Plants for Privacy I just realized that people plant trees and flowers could be for privacy reasons, like if you have a unique house, people who passby maybe curious inside, at least I am. The area I'm currently in has many beautiful homes, but you don't get to see much as there are many plants in the little garden. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it also blocks others' views; what a subtle to protect your privacy - sometimes, protecting privacy doesn't need many fancy tools, which reminds me of many Bitcoiners using so many fancy cold wallets; you really don't need them, all you need is a simple USB, subtle and does the job without causing so much attention!

went to the weekly bazaar, a bit tired and not gonna lie: it's so much easier just click and order, but the cost of that convenience is that you don't really get to choose ( the fresher ones ), and neither knowing where the food comes from. You really need to do the work to get the good stuff.

Honestly, if you can work online, living somewhere with better weather and closer to nature brings so much joy: more peaceful, better quality of life, and great value for money - sounds like an easy math to me. Okay, one of the downsides that I found is that most young are too busy hustling in big cities, so you might be mostly around elderly people, but that also means more skills to learn - good to stack those that are going extinct, even simple things like cooking, cleaning, or even making things with your own bare hand, because most people might be even relying on shitGPT to know how to fried eggs one day.

The more skills you have, the more free you are. And you only commit to the things you truly enjoy and around the people you like instead of being a victim of your default setting - verifying everything is the way.

Solving problems is like exercise - the more you solve or have been through, the stronger you are, and the more you learn:) https://blog.geoarbitrage.com/gap-limit/

Keep stacking skills, knowledge, relationships and Bitcoin, instead of useless things.

The art of sock knitting 🧦 Sharing my product testing 2.0, with natural dyes wool 👀 it's not knitted by me but by a really talented lady that I found in the black sea region, and I guess because it's so cold there, people's knitting skills are really advanced! Like wow, with really beautiful patterns and cool techniques.
