Have a funny observation tonight: you can pretty much tell how long each couple has been together by the way they dress. 😂

Everyone keeps talking about how impressive AI is, but do you know how many things aren't even being shared on the internet? Not to mention how much misinformation is out there. Garbage in, Garbage out.

I lost my wallet recently ( a friend confused mine with his, and he was boarding his plane ), so I was in a situation where I didn't have any cash or card with me. However, I had my phone on hand, guess what did I do? 👀 The first thing I did was calm down and think, and it turned out that I could get some cash with my phone at the airport. However, many things went through my mind that day: What if I lost everything? One thing that strikes me the most is that Bitcoin NEVER leaves you; I wasn't completely panic that day, knowing that I got seeds somewhere I could quickly assess to, and I've done quite some work up front, pilled some people and businesses around me, which means I can always ask for help and pay for things I need in sats. One of the takeaways from that day was you might think that you are helping people when pilling them, but maybe you are also planting the seeds of helping your future self. Closing up this post with a thought experience: what would you do if you lost everything in a foreign country?

Unpopular opinion Not everything needs to be self-custodial, use your energy well.

Fiat minds have a strange obsession with speeds and scales, I like being around artisans, and you are def not merely a number…

if you are using BTCpay to accept payment, sharing two IMPORTANT things! 👀 - don't freak out if you do not see the funds land in the wallet, most likely it's due to the gas limit problem - better mark down ALL the wallets that you had ever used, the last things you want is you don't know which is the right seeds

Has anyone ever studied how human scent works? If natural scent is one of the cheat codes for finding the right partner, then why ppl use all the scented body wash, shampoo to perfume to mask their own natural scent? 🤔

When hodling Bitcoin is probably the *best* or let's say, the *safest* option, you really think twice or more before doing anything with it ( aka spend ), which means it has to be something really worthwhile, then the interesting Q would be what ppl would do with their Bitcoin:) And it's the total opposite in the fiat world, you are the loser if you don't do anything with your money. How interesting!

Something I have learned recently: if you subtract all the noise, there are really not many things worth paying attention to; The hard part is how to trace out the sources or at least getting closer.

It amazed me how people in the past were capable of doing with bare hands.

Bitcoin changed me a lot, but the biggest one probably is changing me from a consumer to a maker; I used to be a minimalist, but I have leveled up from choosing what brands to buy from to learning how to make whatever I want, in the way I like. I can't really express this feeling in words yet ( it's wild ), and it helped me to understand how our consumerism society functions - it not only keeps stealing ppl's time and energy buying things they probably do not even need but also takes away the joy of creating.

if the things you *own* others can take away from you, maybe it's not really yours in the first place.

Just finished the movie The Thirteenth Floor, amazing - do you think our consciousness just "moved" around like that in different simulations? 👀 In the movie, there is simulation within the simulation; it almost sounds like this fiat slavery world in our society. You have people who get up every day just to chase those unlimited supplies of money so to buy whatever is being sold, scary, and this world is exactly created by the greeds. Then I also did some quick research about consciousness, and it turned out there are quite some ppl do remember their past lives, intrigued: - what if all these living & dying are meant to be experienced under different simulations? - what if we already lived many lives, and all the knowledge that we needed is within us and waiting to be unlocked? - what if the real secret is within us?

great meme

There are many posts discussing which Hardware Wallet to buy or why some Hardware Wallet companies don't accept Bitcoin, etc., but what if the whole point of Bitcoin is about self-responsibility, which includes making your own cold wallet? 🤔 I'm not against anyone buying any HW if you really want to, as it's definitely better than storing it in exchanges or putting your hard-earned sats in any hot wallets. But learning how to make my own cold wallet was one the most empowering moments in my Bitcoin journey, and you can create it on the go instead of waiting for deliveries, which is much more efficient and private too! https://geoarbitrage.com/coldwallet/

The shoes I designed finally arrived! 👀 designed by me with natural leather and handmade by a craftsman who has been crafting shoes for over 30 years, and it's a beautiful feeling wearing things that you co-created! Once you are out of the fiat world consumption game and not keeping up with the Joneses, you then realize that there is a sea of options waiting to be explored. ✨

Fear is what makes one weak — conquering your own fear is the way to grow.

The right formula to be free is being independent.

just finished the movie Stardust, really good - what if we were all stardust, watching and knowing everything, but decided to come here to experience human love... yet ended up being fooled into chasing fake money and fuc*ing with each other.
