(Link is below) https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/spending-your-hours/ Life Power Tip You will likely have heard the story of the baby elephant being tied up a certain distance from a stake in the ground, and in adulthood it still lives with the belief that, that’s as far as it can go. Alternatively, the circus fleas kept in a lidded container and who jump no higher, even after the lid is removed, because they are so used to hitting their heads on the container lid! Lastly, the frog put into cool water that is gradually heated to boiling. The frog, not noticing the gradual temperature change, stays to be cooked. Are you living parts of your life, similar to any of those examples? Action Sit under a large, leafy tree and daydream. Challenge Notice your posture at varying intervals during the day, and improve it consciously. Quote The better organized you are in the simple things, the more spontaneous and free you can be in the more important things. -Brian Tracy Clearing Know your highest priorities, so you are not dragged by others’ agendas.

https://youtu.be/O8QnATZCer0 Video description: In this episode, the Bitcoin Beach Team sits down with nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9thwden5te0dehhxarjv4kxjar9wvhx7un8evhvq0 Jeff Booth inside the National Palace El Salvador to dig into a question a lot of people are asking in private. Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country, or did Bukele get captured by the IMF. Jeff shares how he ended up invited by the President, why he first thought he was being used as a marketing prop, and what actually happened during a long conversation on Bitcoin, freedom money, and what it means for a small country trying to escape a global control system. We walk through the IMF and El Salvador story from Jeff’s perspective. He explains why a former failed state turned to Bitcoin to escape fiat money and its hidden taxes, yet still decided to take an IMF loan. Jeff shares Bukele’s “rat and cheese” analogy, and why the real goal is Salvadorans holding their own keys, running nodes, and building a circular economy in Bitcoin instead of staying stuck in the old system. He also talks about what he saw on the ground, from gang crackdowns and falling crime, to how the historic center now feels safer and more vibrant, and what that means for tourism in El Salvador. From there, we zoom out into the deeper human side. Jeff explains how understanding Bitcoin forces an existential crisis, especially for wealthy people and NGOs who thought they were helping, while actually reinforcing a broken fiat money system. We get into game theory, why most people will cheat if they think they will not get caught, and why the principled minority who run nodes and hold their own keys matter so much. Jeff lays out a simple way to think about moving your time into the Bitcoin economy, starting with a small percentage, then growing it until your life reflects an honest market instead of a control system built on inflation and debt. We close with why Jeff walked away from a huge Twitter audience to spend his time on Nostr, how he thinks about living in alignment in public, and what he is building with Ego Death Capital. He shares how they use Bitcoin as the hurdle rate, why he believes Bitcoin native startups will massively outperform as the old world gets repriced, and how founders in places like El Salvador can collect more Bitcoin by creating real value for real people. -Bitcoin Beach Team Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode: 00:00 - Why does Jeff Booth say Bukele understands the global Bitcoin game and the IMF “rat and cheese” trap? 01:52 - What first brought Jeff Booth to El Salvador and why were Bitcoiners questioning if it is still Bitcoin country? 02:55 - How did the invitation from Bukele’s office change Jeff’s thinking about El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy? 04:02 - Why did Jeff want to look Bukele in the eye before trusting the El Salvador Bitcoin experiment? 10:08 - Does Bukele feel the Bitcoin experiment is working and how does he balance IMF money with a Bitcoin vision? 13:57 - How different does San Salvador feel today compared to the gang violence years before Bitcoin and Bukele’s crackdown? 18:42 - Why does understanding Bitcoin create an existential crisis for wealthy people, NGOs, and the old system? 24:36 - Why will El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment fail if it does not move toward a smaller government and real free markets? 28:58 - How does Jeff Booth think about the timeline for Bitcoin adoption and what it means to “already live in that future”? 32:18 - Why did Jeff leave Twitter for Nostr and how does that choice connect to his values around Bitcoin and decentralization? 34:47 - How does Ego Death Capital invest in Bitcoin native companies using Bitcoin as the hurdle rate for returns?
