This presentation is partially a summary of the book I am writing about the crossroads of Bitcoin and spirituality - I presented it during a Bitcoin meetup; it was so much fun :D 🙌🏼✨

I made a couple free Bitcoin tools on my website
and I think this one is my favourite (other than the sats converter ;) This image says it all:


BEYOND MONEY
Bitcoin Tools & Calculators
In the book Beyond Money you will find a reference to the Bitcoin purchasing power calculator as well as other free tools on my website; here they ...

"A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but the one who creates the most leaders."
- Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God, Book 1 (1996)
While I thought I was improving my health by consuming #spinach, beets, sweet potatoes, nuts, dark chocolate, chia seeds, quinoa, turmeric, and green tea - Sally K Norton’s work helped me realize I had essentially unintentionally poisoned myself with an oxalate-heavy diet for the past five years of being mainly #vegetarian.
This entire experience made me question:
- Why are these foods specifically being recommended by governments and media?
- Why are women so compelled towards oxalate-heavy diets?
- Why are we being encouraged to self-poison?
Sally and I discuss these questions through the economic lens because, Bitcoin ^^ as well as the western spiritual lens since most of us are #vegans and vegetarians consuming diets high in these foods robbing us of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and of our overall vitality and #self-sovereignty.
I posted this talk to YouTube to continue to reach a broad audience (and because it was too large for Nostr and the compression tools - if you have tips let me know #AskNostr) - but other than my YouTube channel, I am #NostrOnly:
None of my videos are monetized
I have no sponsors
There are no paywalls
My goal is just #signal
So if there are any ads in this video it is YouTube running them 100% to their profit. If this happens, consider using Brave Browser (which blocks YouTube ads) or listen on my website: daniella.io/not-podcast/sally-k-norton/
Sally is not on Nostr but you can learn more about her work on her website: sallyknorton.com/toxic_superfoods/
Thanks, enjoy the talk ✨
This is why fiat price does not matter ✨


"The weather is strange." I noticed this and now consistently hear "the sky is weirdly cloudy," the "air is dense," and "the weather is off" from friends and family members in different parts of Europe and North America - without even bringing up the subject.
Many, including myself, have also noticed an unusual amount of planes and helicopters not listed on public radar websites going by. Some have also recently experienced power outages leading to the internet being down for hours.
Have you had a similar experience recently?
Maybe the weather / plane / power outage situations are related in some way - I do not know. But I personally feel a sort of "calm before the storm" in the air at the moment, and noticed a convergence of ideas with some channelled messages.
Multiple (non-Bitcoiner) astrologers and multidimensional channels have been mentioning a "3 Days of Darkness" period upcoming between now and the November elections - potentially due to a solar flare or a shift in the Earth's magnetic field.
I would like to share this with you, accompanied with HOPE.
Not fear.
Here is a channelled message about the "3 Days of Darkness":
If you have never watched a channelled message before and feel a lot of skepticism, I completely understand. Maybe watch the beginning of this one first to better understand the process:
Channelled suggestions for the 3 Days of Darkness:
- Focus on light and love, not fear or darkness
- Take the opportunity to connect with yourself
- Connect with your guides and your higher self
- Open yourself to receive light from higher dimensions
- Feel into the silence and allow the process to unfold
- Send light and love to friends/family who are not with you
- Connect with loved ones telepathically - send them love
- Meet those in violence with love and compassion
Will this happen? I have no clue.
Is it worth preparing for something like this? Maybe.
How I have prepared:
- Write down major passwords on paper
- Save any important data on at least 2 USB keys
- Keep USB keys in at least 2 separate Faraday Cages
- Enough water for 3 days
- Food for 3 days (and a way to keep it cool/hot)
- Candles and other ways to generate light
- Different ways to filter water - we can't live without it
- Small backup power source
- Some paper fiat, just in case
I know prepping can feel daunting but:
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
I've made peace with prepping by just by doing it and letting go.
Although I do not wish another forced-pause event on humanity, especially due to the confusion and darkness that can ensue, such an event could provide the masses (our normie friends) a pause and space to awaken.
Overall, I have a very deep sense of hope no matter what happens. I have a feeling the early majority who have not yet seen the Matrix will soon begin to question their reality - and eventually come to embrace Bitcoin 🧡🌍✨
GM peeps ☕️ Why do you still have a fiat job?
I feel stuck in fiat for a few reasons
I would love to hear your thoughts
- Need to pay rent in fiat (biggest monthly expense)
- Don't want to pay capital gains taxes for converting BTC > fiat
- Still learning how to pay for things in BTC (plane tickets?)
- Still have a strong hodlr mentality
- Don't believe I can make a full-time income in BTC *yet*
For the last point, I am so hopeful and excited about the income models that are emerging on Nostr for those who make a living from sharing their learnings online. But I feel stuck on YouTube to reach non-Bitcoiners and to keep paying my rent in fiat - somewhat of a catch 22.
Can you relate to this?
I feel low vibe emotions about the situation (guilt, hypocrisy, some frustration) because I do not want to keep contributing to the matrix or G👀gle
The guilt I feel also comes from knowing how important it is to embody the world I want to see. My not embodying a Bitcoin Standard is just delaying the manifestation of that world!!
The end game is also so clear to me! 🙌🏼 Bitcoin is the transition system to a world without money. I'm so excited about that! But I also still need to function in the 3D world right now - and pay rent each month! 🤌🏼 😅
I feel stuck in this cycle and I know it will only keep getting worse as fiat inflates to infinity. I am also aware that this is a journey, and I do not need to do it all at once 🙏🏼
So, what are your thoughts friens? 🧡
Maybe you can see something I do not?
Have you gotten out of a similar cycle?
Thank you 🙏🏼 🧡 ✨

Why "investing" in Bitcoin is better than Real Estate:
- Affordable
- Portable
- Permissionless
- Cannot be confiscated
- Has outperformed all asset classes
- Exponential purchasing power over time
- No income, property, or municipal taxes
- No interest payments or mortgage
- No dealing with tenants or rental issues
- No ongoing fees (maintenance costs, utilities...)
Bitcoin forces housing to return to it's utility value over time
Owning a home/land eventually becomes affordable for all
"Investing" in Real Estate becomes irrelevant because "prices fall to the marginal cost of production" (Jeff Booth)
#Bitcoin #RealEstate #Freedom
🟠 What does #Bitcoin mean to you?
Using only one word
#AskNostr
The #Bitcoin rabbit hole leads us to question a lot of things...
Bitcoin is energy
Food is energy
And so, eventually, you may also get to #Food
I recently learned that fruits and vegetables may also essentially be fiat foods. Not saying I won't consume fruits or vegetables, but I believe it is worth questioning. For example, here are what some fruits and vegetables looked like before selective breeding, GMO modification, and mass agriculture:

#FoodstrThe economic definition of #SoundMoney changed with Bitcoin
💵 Properties of Money Pre-Bitcoin:
- Durable
- Divisible
- Portable
- Uniform
- Fungible
- Acceptable/Recognizable
- Unit of Account
- “Scarce” (we all know this never happened IRL ;)
🧡 Properties of the Soundest Money Ever #Bitcoin:
- Everything Above
- Decentralized
- Trustless
- Digital
- Incorruptible / Counterfeit Proof
- Instant Settlement
Am I missing anything?
Business idea for the #Nostr community
Elevator pitch:
☀️ Crowed-funded sat-based short term rental Real Estate
Long pitch:
🌍 Live anywhere in the world, own small fractions of many short-term rentals (1 to 3 months); save and make real estate income in #sats! (Before prices fall to the marginal cost of production and real estate falls to its utility value, and then essentially becomes free ;)
Long pitch:
🧡 Imagine going to an “AirBnB” (PlebBnB lol), loving the place, and investing some sats to own a small % of it
⚡️Every time a fellow #Bitcoiner #Nostrich #Pleb #DigitalNomad stays there, you make sats!
🙌🏼 When you stay there you get a discount as a co-owner
🏘️ You can own as many of them around the world as you want!
🌊 Live anywhere you in the world, make sats, save sats
Goals:
🫡 True location independence: jurisdiction arbitrage made Easy!
🚀 Own “AirBnBs” based on #Lightning all over the world!
⚡Shared revenue streams in the world’s hardest money!
Now for the minute details, I don’t know:
Maintenance, repairs, ongoing purchases, cleaning…
Just putting an initial idea out there 😅
🤔 What do you think?
#Introduction - Value for Value is a Dream Come True!!!
I used to make websites and online stores for clients
I would get this awful gut feeling every time they asked me:
- "How much do you charge to make an online store?” 💰
- “What is your hourly rate?”
** How does a Human put a #Fiat price on their Time?! **
It never made sense to me.
I would offer to make their online store for FREE
They would only pay me based on the value I created:
For ex. commission or % of e-commerce sales
Their reaction:
- “How much to just make the store?” 😑
That's why stopped taking clients and made #YouTube videos for almost 10 years, teaching the one-on-one to many instead.
It was the closest I could get to value for value in Fiat land.
If my videos were valuable, they would reach more people and
make more ad revenue, of which Google took 45%, of course.
But now, we can FINALLY have third-party-free value for value 🙌🏼
The Truth is:
- My time is not for sale.
- My hourly rate is: Priceless! 🙌🏼
Value for value, energy exchange ✨
I'm looking forward to connecting with Bitcoiners, seeing what people are working on in the space, and sharing the #Bitcoin related projects I am working in the near future ✨
Thank you Bitcoin & #Nostr 🙌🏼 🧡 💜 ✨
