The most powerful health intervention in the world is free.
No prescription.
No subscription.
No app.
Just the sun.
Reconnect with the natural light environment your biology evolved in, and you may be surprised how many aspects of health begin to improve.
Hope. Opportunity. Light. Life.

Happy to say https://hodleyewear.com is finally up and running and accepting orders 🙌 @npub1cwn…raju
Been over 1 year since we launched our blue light blocking range at Bitcoin Ireland Conference in Dublin.
Testing the range in my own optical practice ever since & now finally online ready. ⚡️

Most modern problems come from broken inputs.
Broken money distorts the economy.
Broken light distorts human biology.
Fix the inputs and the downstream problems begin to disappear.

As an optometrist, I stopped just testing eyes.
I started studying light.
Because light is biological information.
If you:
• Struggle to sleep
• Feel wired at night
• Get digital eye strain
Look at your light environment first.
Morning sun.
Dim evenings.
Intentional screen use.
Ancient physiology. Modern chaos.

🔹 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from vision impairment

Great to see you here Simon 🙌

Talking with more and more professionals who are pivoting & moving more and more of their time into #Bitcoin. #healthcare #accountant #dentist #optician

Looking forward to this ⚡️building the #healthcare industry to benefit us all. #note1eqt…xyel

I started 2024 with the aim to move more of my time into Bitcoin. As an optometrist and practice owner of over 17 years @npub16j3…lrs2 I had already integrated bitcoin payments into my small business and onto the company balance sheet. I spoke at my first Bitcoin conference in Dublin and co-founded a Bitcoin education company @npub1y9m…8wx2. Linked up with some awesome individuals @npub1hea…vp8p & excited to develop more within the decentralised healthcare space. More of this transition in 2025 - out of the Fait system & into #bitcoin in moving my business structure & income generation online, built on Bitcoin ⚡️🫡

2024-11-13 12:53:38 UTC

Taking ownership of your own health data with decentralised and secure sharing is a game changer - @NosFabrica are working on that very thing 🙌 #healthcare #optometrist #nostr #note1z33…y04m

Welcome to 🤡 world, where…
UK government considering 39% Capital Gains Tax on assets you took risks on using your cash that has already been taxed 32-47%.
What a great idea 👏👏 🤨

Congrats to you both 🙌🥂

Bitcoin remains a societal blind spot, as its complexities and positive impacts are not fully recognized or understood by the broader public, business sectors or governments. This will not always be the case & the the shift in awareness may come sooner than we expect. #studybitcoin

Moments are experiences imaged in the fabric of time captured by your mind that live with you forever.
Live. To. Experience.

Why nostr…excellently explained 🔥 #note1sfd…a3g7

2024-05-03 22:47:00 UTC

Amazing to watch and empowering to know those of us who are understand the need for and who spend their time in #Bitcoin are disempowering these nonsensical fiat clown world puppets & their masters. #note16ee…a33f

Ahh, those pesky floaters 👀 can be quite annoying. 🙂. Have a good one!

My wife just sent me a voice note talking about putting money aside each month - but after looking at bank “saving accounts” she has decided she wants me to show her how to set up with a Bitcoin wallet for some DCA action. Finally !!!! …after 5 years - she has seen the light 💡😃⚡️

Developing out my #bitcoin inspired eyewear range. Next step is for online ordering and making the decision to go bitcoin only payments ⚡️😱 https://image.nostr.build/ec1db2bc2c74ef1f42be18242c92b811521f890d01bc3908f4845def66d34b97.jpg

Well, well, well...Bit of excitement today. #etf #bitcoin

2023-10-15 12:58:35 UTC

I've been accepting #bitcoin in my #opticians practice since November 2021. Haven't really marketed it to my existing patient base, however I am now launching my own eyewear range HODL Eyewear and will be talking about Bitcoin a lot more....interesting to see the impact / feedback from them.

It's crazy to think that over 800 million people struggle with every day activities due to visual impairment and cannot access a simple pair of glasses to fix their sight. The vast majority are unbanked, live in the global south and their poor vision creates a major barrier to living their fullest life. It is our hope that #bitcoin can fix this. #satsforsight Local initiative with Global Impact.
