My node was offline for a few months I’m not a super tech nerd, so I just restarted the whole thing and synchronized everything from the first block again. There was a slight feeling of being uncomfortable without having a node running at home. Like a duty, I’m not taking care of. Of course, I know there’s the love of others verifying… But the feeling of self empowerment has become something important. And if the node isn’t working, life feels like something is off. image

Finally made it to a bitcoin meet up in Berlin after being more than five years invested and three years in the rabbithole It was a good to hang out with people who actually understand my emotions, my thought processes, where I don’t have to explain the very basics and we can just speak with the same understanding I will do that more often now Thanks to @club21 for the chat in the end image

Just got some bows for me and my kiddo and I have to say, discovering archery together has been such a beautiful experience. It’s a calming, grounding, and deeply focusing practice. It also ties in perfectly with my Qi Gong work archery requires a stable core, steady breath, and full-body awareness to shoot with intention and hit the mark. Sharing this with my son means the world to me. Especially as someone who grew up without a father, these moments are not just fun they’re healing. It nourishes something deep in my soul. image

This one hit hard. Let it sink in. english below „Wir haben in Deutschland derzeit und das muss man sich einmal klar machen rund 15 Millionen Netto-Steuerzahler. 15 Millionen! Das heißt: Alle anderen sind entweder direkt beim Staat angestellt, zum Beispiel als Beamte, Lehrer usw. Sie erwirtschaften kein eigenes Geld, sondern erhalten es vom Netto-Steuerzahler, der das alles finanziert. Oder sie sind Teil von Sozialsystemen und anderen staatlichen Finanzierungen. Diese 15 Millionen Deutschen tragen die gesamte Finanzierung. Doch die Mehrheit, die zur Wahl geht, entscheidet darüber, wie es politisch läuft. Das ist ein Problem. Ein Problem deshalb, weil diejenigen, die alles finanzieren, nicht diejenigen sind, die bestimmen, in welche politische Richtung es geht. Stattdessen legen die, die von den Netto-Steuerzahlern abhängig sind, die Regeln fest.“ “At present in Germany and this is something you really have to realise we have around 15 million net taxpayers. 15 million! That means: Everyone else is either directly employed by the state, for example as civil servants, teachers, etc. They don’t generate their own income but receive it from the net taxpayers, who finance all of this. Or they are part of social systems and other forms of state funding. These 15 million Germans carry the entire financial load. Yet the majority of people who go to vote decide how things are run politically. That’s a problem. A problem because the ones who finance everything are not the ones deciding the political direction. Instead, those who are dependent on the net taxpayers set the rules.” Big thanks to @Blocktrainer and the whole team for all the work you’re doing.

GM #nostr One of the best decisions I made Buying my little escape zone, just 70 minutes outside the city surrounded by chickens, cats, goats, and nature. Sure, if I had put that money into Bitcoin, I could buy three wagons by now. But the time I spent there, the peace it gave me, and the quality moments with my family were priceless. I have zero regrets. I stacked before, I’m still stacking now. And I’m thankful for both the sats and silence. image

Found this sweet mini garden tucked away in my neighborhood. A handwritten sign reads: “Everyone is welcome, but please respect the garden.” Simple. Powerful. Reminds me of Bitcoin: Open to all, but act without respect get liquidated. #bitcoin #nostr image

#asknostr Hello Nostr community! In the image you see my handwritten exit strategy. Probably hard to read ( not for me tho : ) but the core is clear: I’m shifting from fiat to Bitcoin. It’s personal, emotional, and rooted in real intention. I would Never ever post this picture somewhere else than here cus it feels quite vulnerable My name is Ben I make living with all my different art projects Grew up in Berlin, 48 years old, half Greek, half German, and I m still new here on Nostr. For the past three years, I’ve been deep in the Bitcoin rabbit hole. I bought my first sats six years ago, and what started as curiosity turned into a full blown shift in worldview. I guess you all know that. The learning curve has been wild and I owe a lot to the incredible people putting out content in this space: Shoutout to @Robert Breedlove , @Niko Jilch , @Blocktrainer , @Peter McCormack @gladstein , @Gigi , @Rahim Taghizadegan , @Michael Saylor @Leon many others And of course @Jeff Booth Even though I read The Price of Tomorrow two years ago, it’s only recently at @Robert Breedlove that he gave me a final push to take action Now I’d love your input: 1. Multiple accounts, one client: Can I run several Nostr accounts through one client? If so, which one would you recommend? 2. General advice: I want to integrate Bitcoin and Nostr into my work that includes my music, my Radikal Flow movement practice, and my family business in Germany. This is the first time I’m reaching out directly to the community, and I’m eager to learn how to build real utility and connection here. To all Berliners DM me. Let’s connect, build, move, dance, talk. To everyone else thank you for welcoming new voices. I’m here now. #noster #bitcoin #exitfiat #music #berlin #jeffbooth #soundmoneyart #grownostr image
