Stop, pinch me. Remind me again that all this is good for bitcoin. I haven’t stacked hard enough.

If we have hope, let us not be deceived that hope in ourselves or that hope in any person, place or thing is the answer. As good as a positive mental attitude, healthy body, mind and spirit connection is important, if in our best thinking we become wise in our own eyes... we have failed. Man's chief end (like it or not, believe or not) is to glorify God, to give God the glory He alone deserves. Can you create a baby? Did man create stone, the oceans, stars? Can man control the wind? Man in our folly believe we control many of these things that in truth we do not. Man believes he is inherently good, another false hope. Only because of the finished work of Christ can we even have hope to understand the depravity of our souls, the sinfulness of our true nature and why idolatry is so rampant. Yes, even bitcoin. Bitcoin can be an idol. I've asked myself this question. Ask yourself that question. Can Bitcoin save souls. It IS a technology, a digital asset that many of hope (including me) that it will replace broken money. Many will choose to go all in on orange money, but at the 30,000 foot perspective, let us not make it an idol. Do what you can, stack sats, stay humble. Man has work to do, civilizations to build, families to feed and choices to make about whom we will serve: idol worship of digital technology or the Living God of the universe. It's a good question to be in. We also have a new generation to train up in this way, babies to be blessed by. Touch grass, enjoy time with your loved ones. Live your best life. Living and working in this way we vote with our feet. Exiting the old system can be a high and narrow road, but I'll take a guess that many of us are here because it is a path to something better. I thank our nostr and bitcoin devs for creating this opportunity, this technology we can migrate to. Be encouraged by the many who are coming to join freedom tech. Be encouraged that the Lord Jesus Christ is working right now at the right hand of God, bringing bitcoin to the creative minds of technology developers. If God knows how many hairs are on your head, how many grains of sand on a beach, he knows the issues and struggles of every one of us. Let us give him the glory only He deserves. #introductions #america #australia #britain #canada #africa #theology #mentalhealth #crec #soverereign #jesus #god

“Active courage is a steadiness and bravery of mind that is undaunted at opposition or threatening dangers. Passive valor is that constancy of soul that enables us to bear sufferings without repinings or outward tokens of sinking or despondency.” This is from an article on holy courage where Sir Isaac Watts contrasts two forms of Christian courage. The point is that the Christian must not remain in himself but should strive to actively trust God and love others. In this active obedience steadfast faith and courage increases. I would add that there is indeed good reason to trust God and not ourselves. Regarding man: Don’t trust, verify. 🦾 None of us is worthy. No, not even one.

I definitely need more friends on nostr!

Imagine a medium sized community with many buildings of different shapes, designs and purposes. Each building housed a small group of people who would teach and train you up on all the fun and useful things their software or hardware does. All you had to do was stop in and ask. Though I’ve not been to bitcoin park, variations of this might look like similar. It could also look like a conference trade booth venue as cheesy as that sounds, or it could be all housed in one building. The point is anyone could visit anytime and learn as much as they could handle at a time. Creativity could abound at a place like this for nostr and Bitcoin. It doesn’t have to be bricks and mortar of course, but to educate in the order of magnitude that’s needed, a bricks and mortar place that is marketed well is not a bad idea. The real question is would developers and founders send or rotate some team members of their team to be resources and educate. Think permanent conference on Bitcoin and nostr. In terms of teaching my generation, think like kindergarten class for adults 😂. Boomers have our own difficulty adjustment 🐢 but there are some of us that 🧡 Bitcoin

I recently saw this. A reminder of the man who wished to confiscate American citizens gold. On a more positive note, though the Civilian Conservation Corps was a government program to get our people working again, it was reminded me of proof of work. Proof of work in the sense that, for example, the Hoover Dam was proof that it could be built, was built and stands today. Americans had to figure out how to build stuff and get it done. 🦾

@Jor I listened recently to Jor’s Daily Bitcoin Journey and he reminded me of how fast things are starting ramp up, corruption, FUD, and it reminded me of class 5 whitewater rafting: I know that in the flats and boring times that we are approaching known rapids and potentially dangerous situations ahead. What does this mean and how to prepare? I can remember that this isn’t my first rodeo, “difficulty adjustment” old be another way of saying “keep your powder dry”. Sometimes the best move is to not make a move but to be humble and thankful for what I’ve been given stewardship over. Navigating the big water can be helpful to have trusted friends. I look forward to making more of these as we navigate toward big water.💦

Question regarding laser eyes. Is it a rite of passage that one learns how to get the eyes to beam lasers like that? Asking for a friend, who wants laser eyes. Not FOMO, just the added ZZZZ to the eyes. Makes for much stronger better faster seeing.

Are you bullish enough? Not nearly enough. Preparing to exit fiat economy is the way toward the light. Run, Forest, run!

Hey, anyone here on nostr? This week’s going to be a good one!!

Nostr friends and many more not yet friends, this guy Jor brings value and is a good dude. Invite your noob and prebitcoiner freinds to watch his show on zap.stream @npub1s2pj...jpp0 stream on zap.stream!

I find that nostr makes me curious because I’m finding new things about it constantly. One of you will do/create something I didn’t see coming and that makes me more curious. That’s the thing about it: curious, more curious, and… curiouser Why is the wallet connection part of nostr so difficult to get right? More specifically, is there a nostr protocol for connecting wallets? I ask because on some clients it seems to integrate smoothly and others it doesn’t seem to go well, OR I mistakenly think it’s connected and working, and then nope. Curious and more curious, but always stacking sats and knowledge whenever possible. @asknostr

Ever heard of the term Trauma Fitness? It relates to people who have been through some sort of traumatic experience, whether familial, work related, government mandated jab or facial covering, or just even plain old neglect or abuse. Trauma fitness helps people who have been through trauma become fit, kinda like physical fitness helps one become strong or fit, or lose weight; trauma fitness uses many kinds of techniques and even spiritual resources to help guide people to a healthier place, in their mind and in their hearts. More to come.
