I loved your essay because you're asking difficult questions and sharing honest opinions. I don't understand 80% of Nostr's tech but I'm here. If we are to grow as a community, as a protocol, then we must be willing to be open to dialogue, even when it stings....I see the validity of some of this content, the rest is above my pay grade. As a user, I agree the focus should be on improving the experience. My 2 cents- how can we expand our user base if we refuse to leave our backyard? The echochamber is real- IMHO.

The dynamic and groundbreaking synergy evolving between mining and the energy sector became the most substantial section of my book. 📖
A global phenomenon that is transforming life as we know it.🔥

🔥Excited to share my first reader to hold a hard copy of my book! 📚
She ordered on Amazon the day it went live, delivered in less than 48 hours.
💕 Much love to Ritu, loyal family member, she's not a Bitcoiner - yet!

Forgot to mention, there's a live book launch on Sunday at 11am EST - on the platform that shall not be named..... many of the people who were involved in the project will be there, a global line up of Bitoiners.

HI there, in response to your question of why I haven't been active on social media - I spent two years researching and writing this book, so it didn't leave me much time for engagement, especially since the last year I juggled a full-time job teaching middle school. I try and attend local Bitcoin meet-ups when I return to my hometown - I live in a remote First Nations Community in northern Quebec. I've been working away quietly....

Thank you so much for your support and sharing my book with the Nostr community. I'm looking forward to connecting and engaging now that I've crossed the finish line. Just returning from Middle Earth!

Adam & Cole, you are a dream team! Thank you for being a part of this endeavor. I have fond memories of the discovery process.

2025-03-12 00:33:59 UTC

🔥 It’s here! 🔥
📖 Reclaiming Sovereignty is out now! This is not just a book about technology; it’s the story of a woman's attempt to make sense of a complex subject—one that led her on a two-year global journey into the heart and soul of a misunderstood system.
❤️ Along the way, I fell in love. Through the voices of the people I met, I dismantle myths and uncover the true nature and value of Bitcoin: the power to fulfill a universally shared longing to be architects of our own destinies.

Reposting, love this video.
Everything seemed possible when I looked through the eyes of a child.
And every once in a while, I remember, I still have the chance to be that wild.
Life is simple.
We complicate things.
Keep in touch with your inner kid to live it more fully.

HOW I BECAME A WARRIOR
Once, I ran from fear
so fear controlled me.
Until I learned to hold fear like a newborn.
Listen to it, but not give in.
Honour it, but not worship it.
Fear could not stop me anymore.
I walked with courage into the storm.
I still have fear,
but it does not have me.
Once, I was ashamed of who I was.
I invited shame into my heart.
I let it burn.
It told me, "I am only trying
to protect your vulnerability".
I thanked shame dearly,
and stepped into life anyway,
unashamed, with shame as a lover.
Once, I had great sadness
buried deep inside.
I invited it to come out and play.
I wept oceans. My tear ducts ran dry.
And I found joy right there.
Right at the core of my sorrow.
It was heartbreak that taught me how to love.
Once, I had anxiety.
A mind that wouldn't stop.
Thoughts that wouldn't be silent.
So I stopped trying to silence them.
And I dropped out of the mind,
and into the Earth.
Into the mud.
Where I was held strong
like a tree, unshakeable, safe.
Once, anger burned in the depths.
I called anger into the light of myself.
I felt its shocking power.
I let my heart pound and my blood boil.
Listened to it, finally.
And it screamed, "Respect yourself fiercely now!".
"Speak your truth with passion!".
"Say no when you mean no!".
"Walk your path with courage!".
"Let no one speak for you!"
Anger became an honest friend.
A truthful guide.
A beautiful wild child.
Once, loneliness cut deep.
I tried to distract and numb myself.
Ran to people and places and things.
Even pretended I was "happy".
But soon I could not run anymore.
And I tumbled into the heart of loneliness.
And I died and was reborn
into an exquisite solitude and stillness.
That connected me to all things.
So I was not lonely, but alone with All Life.
My heart One with all other hearts.
Once, I ran from difficult feelings.
Now, they are my advisors, confidants, friends,
and they all have a home in me,
and they all belong and have dignity.
I am sensitive, soft, fragile,
my arms wrapped around all my inner children.
And in my sensitivity, power.
In my fragility, an unshakeable Presence.
In the depths of my wounds,
in what I had named “darkness”,
I found a blazing Light
that guides me now in battle.
I became a warrior
when I turned towards myself.
And started listening.
Jeff Foster

find the light there

try to get that
it is the center
of the universe
yes yes — please
try to help yourself
by kissing the hot hot
hot life that is born
there yes yes — please
try to yell in hell
yes yes — please
try to free yourself
by pouring yourself
into the gutter all
guttural guttural yell
yes yes yes — please
try to get that you
become the being
that you came there
to be yes yes — please
try to go to the great
great great fire that you
created because you
become the light
that the fire makes
inside of you
yes yes — please
try to kiss yourself
for going there
yes yes — please

reborn there
yes yes — please
begin your day

Thank you for "outing" me Derek! Yes, a book is in the works. I'm going to hold off on the details other than I've spent the last 9 months of my life dedeicated to this endevour. And of course Derek is profiled....It's been a labour of love, hope & inspiration. I'm finalizing the launch date so stay tuned!

You sound like you've reached a peak level of deprivation...
Nutritious meals with high fibre that are simple and easy to make and that you can prepare in larger quantities. Beans, legumes. Throw in meat and use a slow cooker. One dish meals require less attention.
Throw in veggies, herbs etc and you're done.
And to repeat other comments - avoid processed food, it will only slow you down.
This time will pass and you'll look back with amazement.
Parents are superheroes.
We take on the greatest responsibilities of life.
Much love.

Forget about enlightenment.
Sit down wherever you are
And listen to the wind singing in your veins.
Feel the love, the longing,
the fear in your bones.
Open your heart to who you are right now,
Not who you would like to be,
Not the saint you are striving
to become,
But the being right here before you,
inside you, around you.
All of you is holy.
You are already more and less
Than whatever you can know.
Breathe out,
Touch in,
Let go.

This is a very expansive list that includes self development: set the table, clear the table, say something kind to someone, write one paragraph in my journal, 2 minutes of focused quiet breathing, 5 minutes of stretching (provide a list of options), offer to help parents with any task they happen to need, call a relative I enjoy talking to. I could go on......
I wish I had an funcle growing up! But it's good to know one now.

Miljan, your vision is just incredible, loved the podcast and deep dive. I'm new to Nostr & have taken the leap. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the future of communication. The philosophical implications of this paradigm shift have yet to be fully understood, it will continue to unfold as the protocol evolves & end user participation accelerates. An exciting moment in time.
