I'm a huge fan of Rocketbook products.
Recieved their Core notebooks for Christmas last year, and love that it allows me to bridge physical note-taking with digital file sharing and organization with the snap of a photo.
Tagging my notes, transcribing and sending digitized versions right to email.
Such a simple idea but ideal for someone like me that needs to feel the physical connection / doesn't always want to be in front of a screen for hours.
Picked up their re-usable Post-It Notes and Index Cards too. Looking forward to using these.

Have to say, feelin' some sort of way on Bitcoin Magazines content.
An article stating that an analyst predicts $125K bitcoin price with a Trump victory, but a $75K price if Harris gets it.
My personal issue is who gives a fuck? I could care less about either one as they'll both pander and wave and move on. They don't care about you or I.
Click-bait-y feeling articles guys, just not a fan. 🤷

Can't agree more. Really enjoy her vocals and feel she fits in well. Looking forward to the album in November. 🤘

The new Linkin Park song is fire tbh.
What a formulaic band in my younger years. Loads of hours spent on my motorcycles riding to their albums.
Wish that band the best with their new singer. 🤘

I love the self-hosted Jam app for bitcoin, but I have to say my several-day excursion attempting to use the Sweep feature for funds is not going well. Seems to make it through about half of the scheduled transactions before it stalls out.

Looking to use my self-hosted NoStrudel app to engage on Nostr more. Have made a conscious effort in the past 60 days to spend less time and attention on my phone and it's working wonders.
Also not a die-hard fan of the apps I've tried thus far for Nostr phone use anyways.

It's a bit alarming to me the posts I stumble across on Nostr with folks mentioning they are giving themselves a "trial" period, or detox-type session away from Twitter. Social media really has it's hooks in people now. Hmmm 🤔

Not that it's even remotely surprising, but Google Play out here just casually reminding users they're always being surveiled and you "can" opt-out. If you don't want those COOL INDIVIDUALIZATION of your apps. ...What does that even mean?!

Truly can't wait for winter on the farm - my fav season tbh. Lots of wood splitting, hikes on the property (without the unintended hitchhiking insects), and that deafening quiet of the environment as a whole - love nature when she can make you feel as small as you truly are. ❄️🌄

2024-08-06 15:27:18

Think I can safely say that teaching myself programming / coding is the first time I have felt engaged and excited about challenging myself in YEARS.

Another scorcher in the rust belt - the only thing about summer I tend to dislike in this weather is when the fields and property on the farm are (over)grown - it limits the ability to get out and get the walks in that I'd like to.
That being said, being home now has afforded me the luxury of workouts again and I am truly a sucker for my cardio.
Water rowing to be more specific. Just had a good Castles session and feel great. 💪

Picked one up about a month ago - had no issues setting it up. Love the ease of use. Runs extremely quiet on 'Eco' preset - higher settings can easily become noticeable in a confined space. Does a great job cooling itself on default settings - will still put off some warmth, just to keep in mind.
May be a small unit designed for decentralization and lottery-mining, but def a quality made piece of equipment. 👍

Finally. The day has arrived!
#FutureBit Apollo II bitcoin miner has arrived and is hashing already!
Far easier setup and go than I could have anticipated.
I am beyond happy to be supporting the network and doing my part to compete on a solo level.
Thank you to John Stefanopolous and the team at FutureBit - happy to support the work you all do and to further my own knowledge and experience.
Onward and upward. 🫡

The biggest thing bitcoin has given me is a renwed hope in something as concrete and sure as the Earth. When I feel something, so steady, so sound - I cannot help but feel a great weight lifted off of my soul. The drops in a bucket discussions regarding privacy, future development, court rulings etc., though important and worth educating oneself - are merely rocks in the path to be ridden around, moved, or avoided. I have found truly immesurable value in what bitcoin has provided me - the peace of mind that comes from having a foundation that will allow me to live my life bindless.
A limitless vortex of positivity, rather than a seemingly constant pit of despair that drags others under.
In helping myself I will better aid others.

I'm very curious what methods would be worthwhile to run / utilize to aid in ways that help the #bitcoin network via robustness / privacy / etc. I'm a huge fan of Jam / (the basics) / running a Tor-connected node / even mining privately.
Just interested to see what other suggestions there are out there that I'm unaware / inexperienced with. Interested in Lightning Node setup / usage but hear more negatives than positives at this time. 🤔

2024-03-17 01:03:58

Taking a bit of time this evening to just write. No bullet-points, no lists, no spreadsheets. Just a table, my Rocketbook notebook, and a good pen. Let the ideas run until the tank is dry. Will be looking to update my self-hosted Ghost instance to share in the near future. 📚✒️🗒 #Creativity

2024-03-14 00:47:55

We have some power company reps coming to visit our farm tomorrow. Interested to see what they offer up / have to say about future possibilities here - not sure anything will come of it, but I like that we are open to any potential opportunities. Maybe having multiple bitcoin miners here in the not-so-distant future will become a thing. Time will tell. 🤷⚡️🌄

2024-03-10 16:20:30

I hope to see Nostr become more widely adopted. It's amazing to see tech like this evolve, but I do have personal fears of it being a bitcoin echo chamber. We need the regular joes here, the day to day conversations - it is an interesting thought of what bitcoin and the evolvong world may play a hand in folks showing up / not. I suppose we'll see. 👀

2024-03-08 15:35:02

Still so early in my personal bitcoin journey, but took an exciting first step today in purchasing my own miner. Happy to learn additional skills and support / grow the network. Onward. #FutureBit 🫡

As the face of a large company that has fully embraced bitcoin, having an articulate individual that can convey the transformation of hundreds of years of financial policies to where we are more than likely headed to most folks is invaluable. Thank you Michael. ⚡️🙌 https://youtu.be/_dtCYRDL4yc?feature=shared

2024-03-05 00:22:14

My only "prediction" for #bitcoin as of late - is I believe the foundation is set in stone. Feel what you will about ETF's, regulation, etc., but the big money is moving. I'll go out on a limb and say I don't think the rather large 69K to 15K fiat denominated price action will stick around. Liquidations and profit-takers will be a thing, but the ground floor is laid - walls are slowly going up and the skyscraper continues it's climb...
Then again, I'm nobody.
In other news, meal prepping this week is a solid 'A' - energy levels remained stabilized, the time saved was glorious and tomorrow is a new day. Looking forward to a better me. One step at a time. 🤙

2024-03-03 02:27:38

I don't get in party-mode or anything when #bitcoin goes up in reference to fiat price - but I do feel a calmness, a relief almost knowing that the effort given to read, listen, watch and constantly be learning, feel like it has all emabled me to make better decisions aligned with leading an honest life worth being proud of. I can easily live with that.

Today may be the day. Woke up to listen to a podcast segment on macro economics while getting ready for work, and upon walking out of the house, noticed my phone has absolutely zero service or data connection. I've loathed AT&T for years and this may be the push I needed to ditch them and regain privacy in my mobile life. ✊️ Thinking Librem 5 may be a good option to research? 🤔

Over the span of 3 years, my immediate family went from assuming I was gambling money in some way with bitcoin, to now - asking help to purchase their own sats. What a long time those three years felt, but it has been entirely worth it imo. I'm just happy knowing they understand the current issues and how this is a chance to alleviate some of the headaches that arise from it. #StayHumbleStackSats ⚡️✊️

My hope is that the younger generations will maintain an open mind enough to adopt bitcoin and realize every day doesn't need to seem like loss after loss in nearly every facet of life - savings can exist.
