No set of surroundings could be said to be absolutely bad or completely useless or damaging. If a mind is not able to take advantage of the surroundings, it is its own weakness that makes it unable to do so. For example, a man is sitting in a room that is filthy, full of dust and dirt. If his mind is grounded in contentment, joyfulness, peace, and happiness he radiates those qualities around him and does not pay attention to the dirt and dust. It is the inner status of the mind that is responsible for making a man joyful or miserable. In the man’s joyfulness and contentment he begins to sweep up the room and wipes off the dust and, in doing so, he takes delight because he is in such good harmony with the surroundings. If a man is sad and tense, however, and finds the room dirty, he just adds to the tension and his mood grows worse. He becomes more and more tense because of the condition of the room, and he thinks that it is its filthiness that has made him more miserable and tense. But it is not so. It is the misery of his mind that has multiplied itself while being reflected from the particles of dust in the room. Had he been joyful, the joyfulness would have reflected from the dust of the room.

“When the fuck did JP Morgan become more bullish than bitcoin sissies?…” - nostr:npub1yta303n90we3005yggfntmmtp703wamp023zpne8msr0k4ug7suqpsngu5 🤣😂🤣😂 Couldn’t have said it better myself…

For those who are bummed out that Bitcoin is down 25% from ATH: Better to have 75% of something that’s yours than “100%” of something that’s not.

Wow… I hope this bill passes. https://youtu.be/hQcRd9GFh7Y?si=DUgHdzQ5bMpCUkm0

Because all prices fall when measured in bitcoin, how will businesses be able to price their products in an efficient manner when bitcoin becomes the unit of measure? For example, it would seem very taxing for a restaurant to change its menu prices every day or every week. nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcul8ldf would love to hear your thoughts on this!

As BTC price goes down today, Trump makes a big deal about a press conference about IVF but yet a few people are talking about regional banks being in trouble again… Maybe I’m mistaken about the banks. Anybody have insight on this?

Super tabloid-y title, incredible history lesson. https://youtu.be/2djIe7Edh6I?si=qwJcx6bIcdHnv3zB

Starting the book “Praxeology: The Invisible Hand that Feeds You” and I thought this opening quote was worth re quoting: "I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed, rather than what I wanted: and this gave me sometimes such secret comforts, that I cannot express them; and which I take notice of here, to put those discontented people in mind of it, who cannot enjoy comfortably what God has given them, because they see and covet something that he has not given them. All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.”

Even though I want the option of having filters in Bitcoin Core and I’ve switched to Knots for the time being, here’s a very interesting take by Checkmate on the issue. It starts 45 min. in, if you just want to get to the meat of it. https://youtu.be/CTG2FcxoW1k?si=5V0TwLr3mWrrfcNr
