Defining a woman is the ultimate test of lucidity. If you can’t grasp the obvious, why should anyone trust your discernment?

​🍕 The $600 Million Bite of Freedom ​It’s May 2010. Bitcoin is just a toy for nerds in obscure corners of the web. ​Laszlo Hanyecz is hungry, and he makes a post that would change financial history forever: ​"I’ll pay 10,000 Bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. maybe 2 large ones. I like onions, peppers, pepperoni... just no weird stuff like anchovies." ​A guy in the UK takes the bet, calls a Papa John’s in Florida, and the rest is legend. ​💰 Cost then: ~$41.00 💎 Cost today: ~$600,000,000.00 ​Most people look at Laszlo and see a "loser." I see the network's first hero. ​Without Laszlo, Bitcoin might have remained a beautiful mathematical theory in Satoshi’s whitepaper. He was the one brave enough to say: "This code is worth dinner." ​He turned abstract bits into saturated fats, giving the world the proof of concept we desperately needed: Money is whatever we collectively agree it is. ​Next time your DoorDash is late or overpriced, take a deep breath. At least you aren’t chewing on the GDP of a small country. ​The moral of the story: Bitcoin wasn't born to be a ticker symbol on a screen. It was born to be transactional liberty. And sometimes, liberty tastes like pepperoni. ​⚡️ Zap this if you’ve ever spent BTC on something that would’ve bought you a Ferrari today! ​#Bitcoin #PizzaDay #Nostr #Satoshi #HardMoney #HODL

Feelings and Principles: A Reflection Inspired by the Song 'Feelings' Did the 1974 global hit "Feelings" spring from an affair or a choice of restraint? 🎶 I’ve written a reflection on how Morris Albert’s platonic passion reveals the vital boundary between what we feel and how we act. In a world of fleeting impulses, principles are our only true compass. Check out my latest long-form article:

De-Googling is no longer a niche hobby—it's digital self-defense. 🛡️ ​From Proton to Kagi, a new wave of users is walking away from the "Big G." The motive? Algorithmic fatigue and a hunger for digital sovereignty. ​Breaking free from Big Tech is the first step toward owning your identity. On Nostr, we’re already living the endgame. ⚡️ ​#degoogle #sovereignty #privacy #nostr #bigtech #selfsovereign

Boa noite a todos.

​The "Feelings" Trap: Where emotion ends and character begins. 🫀🎶 ​Back in the 70s, Brazilian artist Morris Albert took the world by storm with "Feelings." The song was born from a real-life heartache: he was deeply in love with a married woman. The lyrics are a cry of anguish: "I wish I’ve never met you, girl." ​That is the classic trap of the heart. ​We don’t choose what we feel—emotions just happen, like a storm that doesn't ask for permission. But not having control over how we feel doesn't mean we should be slaves to it. ​Following feelings blindly is a strategic life error. They are volatile: one moment they burn like fire, the next they are cold as ice. Principles, however, are fixed compasses. Is it worth breaking rules or destroying a marriage for something that is, by nature, fleeting? ​True self-sovereignty isn't about doing whatever your heart desires; it’s about having the self-mastery to stay the course even when your heart tries to lead you astray. ​Feelings are the wind; principles are the rudder. 🧭 ​#Nostr #Wisdom #Feelings #Principles #Philosophy #Responsibility #SelfSovereignty

​A armadilha de "Feelings": Onde o sentimento termina e o caráter começa. 🫀🎶 ​Na década de 70, o brasileiro Morris Albert ganhou o mundo com "Feelings". A música nasceu de uma "fossa" real: ele estava apaixonado por uma mulher casada. A letra é um grito de angústia: "Eu gostaria de nunca ter te conhecido". ​Ali estava a clássica armadilha do coração. ​Não mandamos no que sentimos — o sentimento simplesmente acontece, como uma tempestade que não pede licença. Mas o fato de não termos controle sobre o sentir não significa que devemos ser escravos dele. ​Seguir sentimentos cegamente é um erro estratégico. Eles são voláteis: hora queimam como fogo, hora esfriam como gelo. Já os princípios são bússolas fixas. Vale a pena quebrar regras ou destruir um casamento por algo que é, por natureza, passageiro? ​A verdadeira soberania individual não é fazer o que o coração quer, mas sim ter o domínio próprio para manter o rumo, mesmo quando o coração tenta nos desviar. ​Sentimentos são ventos; princípios são o leme. 🧭 ​#Nostr #Wisdom #Feelings #Principles #Philosophy #Responsibility

Você sabia? O Efeito Dunning-Kruger é um fenômeno onde pessoas com baixo conhecimento em uma área acreditam que são especialistas, enquanto os verdadeiros experts duvidam de si mesmos. Em termos claros: a ignorância gera confiança com muito mais frequência do que o conhecimento. 🧠 ​#Psicologia #Nostr #Conhecimento

​Did you know? The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a task overestimate their competence. In plain terms: ignorance breeds confidence much more often than knowledge does. 🧠 ​#Psychology #Nostr #Knowledge #Mindset
