Usually I only share one song at a time but this is one of those albums that just makes it too hard to choose. Discovered it over the winter during a difficult time in my life and I keep coming back to it. It never ceases to amaze me the memories music can trigger. I've got a lot of albums from that period of my life but this is one that stands out amongst the rest. Feel free to drop a link If you've got your own version that gets you through some dark times. I could use it right now.

Anyone else feeling that post conference slump?
Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that's why life is hard.
Getting zapped in real life hits differently.
Bitcoin market on Lincoln road. $20 of free Bitcoin at the booth exchange and there's a lot of vendors set up. They should also be able to take regular lightning as well! Goes until 8:00 p.m.


I just assume it's going to be awesome because... It always is


Best cult ever ๐


I went all day yesterday thinking these zap pins were just for show.... Derp.
Someone should have set up a booth selling $5 wrenches
The last 2 days were so good that I almost forgot about the conference... Almost. Hyped.
There's a lot of cool stuff to do this week surrounding the conference and just in Miami Beach in general, but honestly just sitting on my balcony smoking a cigar it's kind of the best part of my day.
Wheels up. See you guys in Miami ๐
Looking forward to seeing you guys/gals in Miami this week. Last year the convention was a very meaningful trip for me. It inspired me and helped me focus myself after some dark times. I've been looking forward to coming back all year but sadly I got a little lost along the way again. Hoping to renew that focus yet again. There's something about being around other bitcoiners that's really uplifting.
Vires in numeris
Nothing like doing a blockchain rescan only to figure out you put in the wrong xpub... Meh.
How many different lightning wallets do you guys flip between? I'm trying to consolidate things but there's so many trade-offs.
The last 365 days have without a doubt made for the most interesting year of my life. Ups and downs, good and bad. Lots of hard lessons learned and many I'm still trying to understand. I've started over so many times that I should be good at it by now, but honestly, even if it gets easier,it never gets easy. Just keep going. Good times might not last forever, but neither do the bad ones.
Austin powers is one of those movies that just gets better with age.
As bitcoiners, we do hard things and act pretty tough most of the time because we have to be. But we are all human. We all have our struggles. Whatever battle you're fighting in secret, know that you don't have to always do it alone. Sometimes you find help in the places you least expect it. I'm sure this community is a good start but also make sure to keep your friends close in the meat-space as well. Being a toxic maximalist is okay but don't let life turn you into a toxic human. Growing is painful. Learn to forgive, not just others but yourself as well.
Life will kick you in the teeth and humble you over and over again. Showing you that you aren't as smart as you thought you were. Learn from it or you will be doomed to repeat your mistakes.
Two days down. One to go. More thinking than working done today. Some questions answered, some new ones posed.
Relax time.
