Anyone trading their Bitcoin is using it for exactly its purpose, as e-cash as Satoshi intended. Anyone using ad hominins to attack Bitcoiners for using their Bitcoin doesn't understand what money is or how to use it and lacks the character and humility to learn. View quoted note →

The sane person interprets boredom as a blessing, the blessing of peace. Otherwise, boredom is the insane minds reaction to peace. View quoted note →

Pro tip: If you're going to go into debt slavery, at least buy assets that pay you back more than the debt payment. (revenue - overhead = profit) Then you can profit on the debt. If the US government did this, they could be rich. If they did this with Bitcoin mining, instead of running a $2 trillion dollar deficit, they could be running a $2 trillion dollar a year surplus.

I feel special reading this because I'm a professional thinker, since writing and thinking are the same. To write books I basically sit down and put my thoughts on a particular topic on the page, session after session, in a cohesive and creative and logical manner focused on a particular outcome until I've said what I wanted to say on the topic. Then I edit it, design a book cover, write some ad copy, and then sell it, forever. I wrote a mini banger maybe 7 years ago on Instagram on intelligence, people liked it, so I wrote a book out of it and it continues to generate income. Every sale I get on How to Become Extremely Intelligent, increases the $ per letter I took the time to write and craft to meet some person's need. That's what's amazing about being a professional thinker. If you write something that meets people's felt needs or helps them get what they want the world will pay you for it, forever. Money is an idea. Sentences are ideas, too. So if you will write, fiction or non-fiction, you can write your way to an abundant future if your ideas meet peoples' needs. "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want." — Zig Ziglar People will literally pay you to think (on a page with words). @HODL is right. Thinking is work. At the same time, if you trade away 40 or 40,000 hours for $25 an hour, you only get paid for those hours once. But if you trade those hours to write a book once, you can get paid for those same hours over and over for the rest of your life. Many aren't willing to make this trade, to think this much. But I am because it's exceptionally high leverage, and because I want my books to inspire the entire world to make decisions that unleash Heaven on Earth. Thinking in books is an ultimate expression of building legacy. Remember, books outlast empires. This is the power of thinking. View quoted note →

GM. 좋은 아침이애요. 早上好！ My son's hiccups sound like a plunger trying to clear a toilet. 😂😂 This morning I'll be pulling out and cleaning my transmission's valve body. I really hope this restores forth gear and overdrive. Have a great day!

Micro-hydro electricity generation is so much fun and one of my dreams to achieve. I'd like to achieve about 100kw of micro hydro, and no that's not a typo. I'd like our micro-hydro power system to run about 10 Bitcoin miners, give or take. Perhaps 10 of the Proto Bitcoin miners.

Perfectionism might be for those who have yet to select/decide/discover their specialty.

I feel sad when I read an article critiquing or clarifying someone or some idea, and I'm nodding along, enjoying it, and then the author ends the article by giving general advice like, "Everyone do better." This kind of ending makes no sense on two levels. First, unsolicited advice is disrespectful. Second, generalizing correction to everyone when the article criticizes one person or a small group isn't specific. I would prefer they say, "This person needs to do better," or, "They need to do better." That would be specific to those who have been criticized or corrected, and avoid overgeneralizing guilt or criticism, since it wasn't "everyone," who behaved poorly. I would like people who write disrespectful, overgeneralized endings like that to instead write respectfully, specific endings instead. See what I did there?

It's funny to me when people keep complaining about YouTube censoring. It's like, if you build on a centralized network, they can ban you for any reason they want or simply on a whim. That's why I'm building on Nostr, since it's decentralized and censorship resistant.

When certain people lose using words, cowards resort to violence.

Safety is not competence.
