For a spiritual exercise: bear your cross. No, don’t just bear it. Revel under it. Be grateful for it. Smile, for this burden is a gift, an opportunity to participate in the redemption of the world. The heavier the load, the wider your smile should be, for you have been deemed blessed and capable enough to handle it.

There was a stain on my trash can which I, for some reason, always assumed does not come off. So I never even tried to clean it. Today, I wiped it with a damp cloth and it came off. I’m not sure, but I think there’s a moral to this story.

The nature of experience is such that all that’s really lost is temporary; and all that’s truly gained is eternal.

A Stoic Resurrection – Kontext Store of Value

For the 2026 Bitcoin Wall Calendar, I used a couple of my own photographs as well, in addition to other, more talented Bitcoiner artists like @npub16n04...tlxk, @npub1c8n9...ne96, @npub1jdtd...h0c8 and @npub1pvn0...8khc just to name a few. For my birthday month, I used my TOP 1 favorite photo of all time, taken during the most breathtaking sunset I have ever seen, in Cape Gloucester, Queensland, Australia, on 16 January 2021. I have this exact photo as my desktop wallpaper for years now, another photo from the same session as my phone wallpaper, and I also had it printed on a canvas as a gift to my parents when I first visited Estonia in 2022. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that one of my favorite Satoshi quotes ("If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.") was originally posted on my birthday :) View quoted note →
