@walker asking the most important question. What keeps you hopeful? For me it’s having the tools to opt out. View quoted note →

Me: I think I’m ready for a house cow. @TBone: yeah great! Me: Well, I found one that comes with it’s best friend… so can we get two house cows?? 🧡🧡🧡 Arriving soon 🐮🐮

Now that @RABBIT HOLE RECAP has had its final show I need a recommendation for a weekly Bitcoin news. I want to be able to be completely disconnected from social media and still know what’s going on in the bitcoin space. So I’m looking for a new pod that will keep me up to date on all the developments, social drama, important news and software updates. Which pod do you recommend?

Ducking good morning

What if the system isn’t broken. Far more concerning is that it’s functioning just as it should. I’m opting out. #bitcoin

Spring 🤩

In a world where more and more things in our life are out of our control taking what seem like small steps towards independence, self reliance and security can have an outsized impact. Opt out. #bitcoin

Where once we could ask the butcher to vouch for how an animal was raised, now we buy anonymous meat that is already chopped up, deboned and wrapped in plastic. Food is cheap but at what cost.

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: “It’s a marvellous day today”! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: “The water is very nice, let’s take a bath together!” The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth. - Alan Henderson The world famous painting- “The Truth coming out of the well” Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.

“Nothing else in the world…not all the armies…is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.” – Victor Hugo, The Future of Man. #Bitcoin

My non Bitcoiner friends talk to me about their work, family and home pressures. Life is hard right now. My Bitcoiner friends are having babies, moving overseas, retiring and buying homes. It’s becoming more and more obvious that bitcoiners are hopeful about the future… that is priceless.

If you aren’t at the @bitcoinbushbash then where the bloody hell are you?

Level up your bitcoin meet ups!! This weekend a bunch of Aussie Bitcoiners got together to talk about all things bitcoin. We camped, hiked to a waterfall, cooked over an open fire, swam in the river and only lost one vehicle to an epic river crossing which was successfully salvaged with the help of a big blue tractor. IRL bitcoiners are the best. Where are you getting together to talk Bitcoin??

Hell yeah banana bread!! @yellow

So when people say “What are you doing?” you say “Things that please me”. And they say “Toward what end?” and you say “Pleasure”. And they say “But really, what are you working on?” and you say “Having a good time”. And they say “But what do you hope to accomplish?” and you say “Living happily ever after”. And they say “But what do you want to leave as your legacy?” and you say “I was a happy one”. And they say “But what is the mark that you want to leave?”, “Life is joyous”. “But what is the value that you see in contributing to this time space reality?” “I’m joyful”. “But what do you hope to accomplish?” “Being happy”. - anonymous

Oh, the heat outside is frightful But the air con is delightful The kids aren’t at school so they are all in the pool Sunburn glows, let it glow, let it glow.

Some days I feel so happy that my heart might explode. Auntie vibes are high today and I’m so in love with my little squad of nieces and nephew.
