Regarding this crime thing. If I could buy my groceries with Monero or Lightning or whatever, I would do that just because fuck you that's why. If that's a problem for someone, maybe that's exactly what I should be doing. I don't bother to do that with cash, but crypto, why not. My bank wouldn't need to know what I buy and when. Is it far-fetched to think about stuff like "what if the currently okayish government suddenly turns full fascist and starts to browse the data for who bought X during the last 10 years" and then suddenly I'm fucked even if I did only lawful things? Unlikely scenario? Maybe (but really ?). I'd rather just stay private and avoid those kinds of scenarios. Nothing criminal in that, says I

Hehe, you keep continuing this. I even explicitly wrote my intentions and it was not about trying to demonstrate insight. See how many assumptions you made in such a short message: 1) "young" (how do you know?), 2) "zen people" (never claimed to be a "zen person"), 3) "without contact with tradition" (how do you know?), 4) "90%" (some random percentage, how do you even assess what western spirituality is, other than your own projections that are subject to cognitive biases). And, to be honest, they say to a large extent that Dharma has been moved to the west quite extensively.
Anyway, I fail to understand why you claim to be a "zen guy" and keep demonstrating with your fighting that your practice (if you have one) is not very effective in softening you into a little bit more compassionate direction. That's what actual practice would do. What's the use of any insight if you still transform playful discussion into something like that? Zen is a practice, and if you want to call yourself a "zen guy", it should be seen in how you think, talk and act. If it doesn't, it's probably called spiritual bypassing, and it works be a good idea to announce being something other than "zen guy". If stuff like this is "90% of Western spirituality", I guess it's quite a good situation then?

Sorry for bothering you. Quite a superimposition on an idea about "zen people" being pain in the ass while at the same time announcing being a zen guy himself :) No need to keep missing the point and a joke (I didn't say "incorrect", I said a joke "not true", you just kept interpreting on an unsuitable level from the point of view of the joke), eluding a trial of having fun and starting fights. After all, initially you tried to correct the former claim but didn't quite reach the goal yet yourself - can't be done in language. So in this context, "better" is a funny word introducing a hierarchy again. I know, this annoying as fuck but this time it can be spelt out: it is foolery and wordplay.
To another matter, elegant pointing can be long form, T.S. Eliot for one did that, Leonard Cohen another one, both in pretty much the context we're talking here. But agreed, what was written was not elegant or very bright, but still a feeling of reading not having happened somewhere can be witnessed being left lingering in a body-mind at this location of the observable universe. But there arose a fondness towards your perhaps unintentional use of an intertextual reference to a metaphor that quite well describes zen practice as well: "like a lotus, at home in muddy water". Anyway, deeply sorry for bothering you. Let's not continue this. Anyway, as for alI sentient beings, wish you as well will find what the deep meaning of Kanzeon (almost your nickname!) is and that you'll learn why it is very relevant in zen, and how it relates to, for example, right speech or the Buddhist precepts overall - if you want to get to call yourself a zen guy, that is (or, not because of that but because of all sentient beings). Inb4 "no I'm zen guy not Buddhist".
I know, this is annoying as fuck but this time it can be spelt out: it is foolery and wordplay. Sorry for bothering you.

The emoji indicates that the answer was not pleasing, oh no! An impossible task was given. Explanation: the universe was only fucking with you, playfully.
Elaboration trial: On a relative level, the initial answer could be seen okay or something, but on an asolute level it is only another finger pointing to the moon like they say in zen ("they" say a lot in general btw). There is no true or false, and language can bring one only so far. To say who I am or who I really am is trying to freeze something in place or time. But the reality is probably closer to including everything as a process or something. And even to say something (e.g. I) exists is late because change has happened as it always does. We wouldn't want to try to freeze stuff at place or time because there is always change: anicca, impermanence.
At this time, the real answer to your question would be something like "As the universe, happeningness is being witnessed", and the real real answer is: "Don't know". And in haiku form the answer would be:
GM, coffee, yay
Enjoy the bright sunlight, friend

Another idea. Insurance companies seem to offer some benefits if you have "fitness points" or whatever they are. Basically they're something gotten from fitness apps. Idk or care. Anyway: write a message draft that you want pow for. Then go jogging with smartwatch (that has a nostr integration), and when you've collected enough e.g. heart rate points, the message is proven. Going to get my pre-ordered repebble which could be hacked this way 🤷 Maybe heart rate points could too, but anyway...

The point is holding the value of money, which you likely got in exchange by investing your time. So the point is holding the value of your time. You do not want it to slip through your fingers like dollars and euros (fiat money) do. It would kind of make your time less precious.
To avoid losing value of your time, in today's financial world you can't "save" money by holding into it. You must invest. And you must know how to do that or let someone else do that for you (both of which have a cost). Because of inflation, the traditional assets pretty much lose value in the best scenario, too.
Bitcoin is the best performing asset for some time now. You can save money by holding Bitcoin: see, there is no inflation. Plus, you're not probably jumping down the same cliff than e.g. index funds that would plunge in the next catastrophic financial event.
Because I'm lazy, I tend to save in Bitcoin. The point is holding the value of your time.

TBH, I think there's some deeper truth to this. Nothing personal, but one should always be mindful about distracting others. Is the message I'm about to send worth gluing someone's attention to it? Something like 99% of the time I answer myself "no" and I just don't post. Attention is valuable and I don't want to spend others' for no reason.

Thoughts appear. Thoughts come seemingly out of nowhere, maybe subconscious? Arguably, thoughts are not chosen, they appear. Thoughts are affected by feelings. Feelings are affected by the surrounding world. Happenings are encountered: scare, anxiousness, winning the lottery - or speech. Again, the surrounding world affects feelings. Speech also does. Speech leads to feeling, feeling leads thought, thought leads to action. Action, call it cause and effect or whatever happens in the world, is important. It should matter. Then the question: what would you then call for example speech that causes people to make others suffer enormously?

Is there something implemented in nostr or whatever where I could easily share e.g. a Tidal or Spotify link to odesli.co (songlink) to fetch the link that I could then share to friends? The link that allows people to use whatever app to use to listen to the song.

# All of these assumptions are wrong
- There are always 24 hours in a day.
- Months have either 30 or 31 days.
- Years have 365 days.
- February is always 28 days long.
- Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
- A week always begins and ends in the same month.
- A week (or a month) always begins and ends in the same year.
- The machine that a program runs on will always be in the GMT time zone.
- Ok, that’s not true. But at least the time zone in which a program has to run will never change.
- Well, surely there will never be a change to the time zone in which a program hast to run in production.
- The system clock will always be set to the correct local time.
- The system clock will always be set to a time that is not wildly different from the correct local time.
- If the system clock is incorrect, it will at least always be off by a consistent number of seconds.
- The server clock and the client clock will always be set to the same time.
- The server clock and the client clock will always be set to around the same time.
- Ok, but the time on the server clock and time on the client clock would never be different by a matter of decades.
- If the server clock and the client clock are not in synch, they will at least always be out of synch by a consistent number of seconds.
- The server clock and the client clock will use the same time zone.
-The system clock will never be set to a time that is in the distant past or the far future.
- Time has no beginning and no end.
-One minute on the system clock has exactly the same duration as one minute on any other clock
- Ok, but the duration of one minute on the system clock will be pretty close to the duration of one minute on most other clocks.
- Fine, but the duration of one minute on the system clock would never be more than an hour.
- You can’t be serious.
- The smallest unit of time is one second.
- Ok, one millisecond.
- It will never be necessary to set the system time to any value other than the correct local time.
- Ok, testing might require setting the system time to a value other than the correct local time but it will never be necessary to do so in production.
- Time stamps will always be specified in a commonly-understood format like 1339972628 or 133997262837.
- Time stamps will always be specified in the same format.
- Time stamps will always have the same level of precision.
- A time stamp of sufficient precision can safely be considered unique.
- A timestamp represents the time that an event actually occurred.
- Human-readable dates can be specified in universally understood formats such as 05/07/11.

In Saifedean Ammous' Bitcoin Standard Podcast, Michael Saylor sums his use of "harder, faster, smarter [stronger is omitted in this context]".

When the USA does quantitative easing, who gets the printed money? Any good texts on this? #bitcoin #economics

2023-07-24 17:23:15 UTC

As USA doesn't seem to care about their financial fuckery (QE, bailout after bailout and all this), why wouldn't they just print loads of dollars and dump them to #bitcoin? They would gain the advantage of being the first super power jumping the bitcoin train, after which others would have to hop ASAP, too.
Trust in the dollar is already pretty much lost and it's just a matter of time when everyone sees it and big players start doing some moves, so why not just YOLO at this point? The whole world gonna blame the USA on fuckery anyway.
Another thing: why aren't the superpowers going into Bitcoin?

Now that you wonder: one example where regret can be beneficial. A child does something that children do and happens to upset his mother. The mother, having some kind of trauma related to anger, learnt behavior or whatnot. The mother impulsively hits the child in anger and immediately regret because it was wrong. The feeling of regret helps the mother to save the situation and calm the child down, be sorry and tell thay mother did wrong and will not do it again, sorry. Regret helps the mother to learn to observe her reactive behavior and slowly learn to let go of the anger. Here, regret is clearly beneficial.
One could say "yes but you do not need the feeling of regret to reach that". Yeah, sure, but I would like to see someone who doesn't feel regret in that situation. That's what being human is like. We have feelings and there's a reason for it. Same with e.g. shame.
Sure, usually one should let go of regret. The point is, it can be beneficial though.

#bitcoin: started thinking where the 21 million and halvening every 210 thousand blocks comes from. This doesn't answer the question wholly (why 4 years etc.), but it's interesting anyway. Is there any better known explanation to this?
"Here's a mathematical explanation:
Calculate the number of blocks per 4 year cycle:
6 blocks per hour
* 24 hours per day
* 365 days per year
* 4 years per cycle
= 210,240
~= 210,000
Sum all the block reward sizes:
50 + 25 + 12.5 + 6.25 + 3.125 + ... = 100
Multiply the two:
210,000 * 100 = 21 million."
