Good morning, #Nostr! Good morning, #coffeechain. Nothing is better than coffee, quietly and alone at 4am, reading your comments. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

My daughter is finally old enough to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender with me — and we are binging it today. Couldn’t possibly be happier.

Good morning, #Nostr. 60grams of cream and 15 grams of MCT oil in the coffee today. It’s dark and cold here in the north so I’m having an extra dose of vitamin d3 and cod liver oil today too. Wishing you all a happy day. 🫂

Anyone else check on their #bitcoin before going to bed? Just me? Good night, #Nostr. See you on the #coffeechain tomorrow.

I use Uber a lot when I am out because I love avoiding the hassle of not bringing a car. I noticed about 2 months ago that the cost of rides were insanely expensive, but I chalked it up to being a high demand time (8-9pm on Friday or Saturday night). So I decided to have my friend, who infrequently uses Uber (1-2 times a month), check their prices when I was checking mine. To my astonishment the prices quoted to them were about 40% lower than mine. I was being quoted $45 for a ride that they were being quoted $27 for. Did a little Reddit research and I guess they’ve been doing this for years. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/ufeaud/ysk_uber_will_silently_raise_prices_for_you_over/ I have switch primarily to Lyft and haven’t seen the same trend yet. But I hate how “Big Tech” tried to squeeze every dollar out. I will avidly avoid Uber and use the advice in the Reddit thread to manipulate the algorithm. What a scam.

The new @Damus update is incredible.

Facebook is literally unusable. I refuse to scroll through a mountain of suggested content before I start seeing my friend’s content in the feed. It’s hilarious how hard social media dropped the ball. They had the opportunity to prove to the world that they won’t ruin everything with monetization. Although #Nostr is better, X has done a great job of keeping content that I care about being fed to me. When I’m done seeing suggested content, I can just view people I follow. It’s great. If you’re wondering why I even have a Facebook it’s because I’m in Pilot related groups that I need access to. I tried finding some posts of my friends today and I actually couldn’t see anything besides suggested content.

I’ve seriously overlooked long streaks of sobriety, early morning (4am-5am) routines coupled with rigorous diet and exercise. It’s a revelation to me how fast my life has improved in the last month. Hard to tell which one thing has been the best, but none of it would be possible without the long sobriety. Good morning, #nostr!

Vivek on the authoritarian state of energy monitoring against #Bitcoin miners. Sorry about quality in advance.

I tell anyone looking for advice about buying #Bitcoin not too unless they’re doing it for more than an investment. People looking to buy the pump are in it for the wrong reasons. Buying it in the hope that people continue to use it as a currency is a kind of self fulfilling prophecy of doom. If everyone was like that, it would be worth nothing more than air. Not gate keeping, I just think it would be bad advice to tell someone otherwise. Whatever reasons someone comes to on their own to purchase it, power to them. When #Bitcoin really clicked for me was when I realized I wanted to use it as a currency. Not when I wanted an asset to protect myself from inflation.

I know we are all Bitcoiners but if anyone wants a killer fiat investment they should buy AGNC. I am currently using my dividend to DCA my Bitcoin. I am making almost 20% on my money and it pays out on the 9th of every month. My portfolio is 50% Bitcoin and 50% In the stock market and I am loving the AGNC stock. Highly recommend.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Anyone use Mozilla thunderbird?

@Cash App fees add up on small bitcoin purchases. Really digging strike for small incremental purchases.

Vite with SWC enabled is criminally underrated.

“Your breath upon the wind shall surely lodge within some breast. Ask not whose breast it is. See only that the breath itself be pure. Your word shall seek and surely find some ear. Ask not whose ear it is. See only that the word itself be a true messenger of Freedom. Your silent thought shall surely move some tongue to speech. Ask not whose tongue it is. See only that the thought itself be lit with loving Understanding. Think not any effort wasted. Some seeds lie buried in the ground for many years, but quickly come to life when stirred by the breath of the first favoring season for its springing up.” Book of Mirdad.

Found on X. Made me laugh.

Strike is so clean.
