Part of the freedom is being able to create whatever you want, instead of buying from what's available. π
can't wait to show everyone what I've been making/playing with.

The future of e-commerce β‘οΈ
1. a simple site built-in with sats
2. a Nostr account to deliver goods or contact
- No need to register any companies
- No need to apply for bank accounts
- No need to beg for licenses or certificates
What really matters is POW and web of trust, and of course your knowledge of Bitcoin.
It still amazed me how a tiny amount of programmers can come up with something to fight with all the banksters and the rooted system - does it mean the people are way more powerful than anything else once united?
Hmm, that's why the rulers are playing different tricks to separate people...
anyone know what's this flower? π€


Playing around in the terminal last night, I feel I just started to learn how to really use the computer. π€―
If you also want to learn about GPG, the best thing you can do is not use any tools but start right from the terminal - all the tools bring more convenience but also take away some of the important leanings! I prefer taking baby steps, learning things one by one instead of skipping, and then later taking advantage of the tools. Otherwise, there would be many missing pieces to pick up later on if you don't have a solid foundation.
The same in Bitcoin - many people skip learning how to protect and restore the seeds due to the liking of convenience, but hey, not your keys, not your coins! The better direction is to learn how to self-custody first and then figure out how to take advantage of the custodial wallets instead of depending on them.
Learning and creating bring deep happiness, yet consuming brings shallow happiness and is mostly short-lived.
Many people keep consuming all day yet thinking why are they still unhappy? Because you've been lied to and trained to chase the engineered desires, which are unlimited - there will ALWAYS be something new, and whoever gets to control those gets to control you.
One of the best things I have learned as a female nomad is that I plan my activities according to my circles, not some outside calendar or holidays.
And you'd be amazed how productive you are if you plan things according to your own energy level instead of some outside calendars - your body isn't designed to work like a robot five days a week and from 9 to 5; you are a living human being with rhythms: when tired, you take a break; when full of energy, you do things! So simple.
I don't know how things work with men, but one tip I can give is to pay more attention to your partners, especially say/do less stupid things during certain times:) π
The path to regaining freedom is waking up from the illusion of security/safety and taking things back into your own hands, from as simple as verifying software to safeguarding your own money.
Free time and free mind is underrated.
I feel like I'm back to being a full time student, but this time I got to choose what I truly want to learn. π€
Take your happiness into your own hands - don't wait or expect someone else to make you happy ( really, no one owes you anything ). If you need someone else to make you happy, then it would easily lead to an unhealthy relationship...
Learn to see other's company as a bonus, not a MUST, it's easier to be happy this way.
Running out of the soap that I bought from eastern Turkey, so I cracked two eggs and mixed them with honey to wash my hair, nomad hack of problem-solving! my hair is so soft and shining:)
I think I'm gonna do an experiment of no soap for a while - I've stopped using any shampoo for about two years, and definitely no conditioner, it's insane to put so many chemicals in your body. π€
My goal is to find out what's the best for my body instead of being told what I should use...
am I the only one thinks riding a horse is way cooler than driving a car?


Turkish way of simple happiness: yemek, mΓΌzik, sanat ve aile. ( food, music, art, and family )
It's really interesting to see how certain values are seemingly not preferred or even bad in other cultural settings; I'm not necessarily saying what's right or wrong, but it's good to see what *actually* makes people deeply happy.
Sunday fun πͺ


I'm constantly amazed by how skilled people are here, and a girl I met two days ago told me that because it's hard to find jobs here, people need to learn how to *produce*; for example, she picked all these flowers in the mountain and packaged them to sell, so cool.
Then you have many people who are living in big cities, earning a monthly salary ( the so-called safety ), living an artificial life even with many debts, and then spend most of their time thinking about what to consume because they need to treat themselves better compensating for doing a job they hate and look better than others - spend more and work harder to spend even more!
Honestly, I think the first thing one needs to think about is how to be your own boss instead of being bossed around if you really want to be a sovereign individual, Bitcoin is only a tool to help - it's when you being responsible for yourself can set you free, learn how to create and produce instead of selling your precious time.


I have been watching this beauty for about a week now, not only does it close at nights, but it can also handle heavy rains - beautiful and strong, love it! ( the first was taken this afternoon, and the second was taken when it was getting dark. )
Nature never ceases to amaze you. πΌ


only dead fish go with the flow. π
it's really interesting seeing the fishes swimming against the current:)


Ideas for Bitcoiners leveling up romance π©
Sending sats over LN, with a fun message guiding how to find a handwritten love letter. ( real POW, and it's way more thoughtful than giving flowers )


Are you having FOMO these past few days?
Fear of missing out on low fees.
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.
