Just a brainstorm: Good bitcoin/freedom tech product reviews with referral codes. Advertise on RHR (Bent/Odell) by donating 21k sats per show (they read all messages with 21k+ sat zaps). Go on the podcast circuit to share your nostr/business experience. Use AI to automatically repost selected nostr posts on legacy social media with an appended note that the full content is available on nostr.

No. I'm an Italian American. There are TCM colleges in the USA. I studied at one of these before starting my work as a TCM doctor. Also, I worked in a tea import company when I was younger.

Actually, I always shower in the evening and never drink ice water. I drink hot green tea all summer, and 普洱茶 all winter. The Chinese are correct regarding these things.

I've had many great teachers. I'm very fortunate. :)

Indeed, I'm accustomed to all sorts of fun grammatical constructions and words like 子，乎，者 and 也. My Classical Chinese is much better than my Modern Chinese, since I'm only self-taught in Modern Chinese. Anyway, I tend to read philosophy, poetry, and medical texts, e.g, 莊子，詩經，and 難經, though I've read broadly in other areas. Long-form literature hasn't been my main interest, though, so I've not read the Four Classics in Chinese, and have read only two of them in English (Journey to the West and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms). Have you read much in English?

No, I've never been to China. I earned a Master's degree in Classical Chinese (in the USA) before studying acupuncture. I've known many Chinese people over the years - professors, patients, a girlfriend, to name a few. My impression of the Chinese people is positive.

I always prefer how Ancient Chinese feels in my brain, even as a native English speaker. Seems like you're doing fairly well with your English. 加油！

In general, I think it is important to assess success and failure regularly in the context of short-term manageable goals, and build the larger vision (and benchmarks for success and failure for that vision) based on the practical results of these short-term goals. Each interation - whether a success or failure - provides new information to the process, and helps provide better direction for future goal-setting.
If there is a particular aspect of the project that is a failure consistently, it becomes important to rethink the vision of the project such it incorporates the truth of that repeated failure.
One specific problem which I myself consistently encounter is that over-commitment to a goal leads to excessive self-sacrifice. While I'm generally happy to suffer on the crosses of my ideals, there does come a point when enough is enough...

Such a mind-opening story. I appreciate it! :)

Totally agree.

Congratulations, Flash. I've used PopOs for years and have been very happy with it.

I think he's implying that the reason we haven't encountered other intelligent life (aliens) is because at a certain threshold of civilizational affluence/comfort, civilization naturally collapses due to low birth rates. The mouse utopia experiments provide credible evidence for this thesis, unfortunately. In this context, I believe he is accusing you of trying to stop a hurricane with a pinwheel. For what it's worth, though, I appreciate your comments on the subject, and do not find them futile.

Always interesting, @Jackkluz - I think you're onto something. The entropy story is very different when information is taken into account, block by block. Looking forward to learning more from your insights.

A newspaper in my area probably costs 2100 sats, so rather than buy a newspaper every day, I send the sats to you. Framing it in this light, I think it is reasonable to sell 15 more "newspaper subscriptions" by Q2 or Q3 2026, but probably not by Q1. The most important factor for success, in my opinion, is teaching the audience to view Flash has an opt-in subscription service designed to reduce or remove the need to seek out other news media, rather than just as a random news account.

Technically, yes (USA). There will likely be a de minimus exemption next year, though, at which point purchases under a certain threshold will not trigger a taxation event.

Many bitcoiners surf. Check out Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Jungle, for example.

Agreed. It has a depth of flavor I thought not possible from vanilla.

All set. Thank you very much.
