NOSTR's Freedom of Speech means I have to/get to mute all the racists on here myself. Sigh. Guess I'm glad I have the ability to do that!

I get you. It might just be a case of people picking their battles or choosing what to share/not share. As a personal rule for example, I decided long ago to not post or re-share blatantly political stuff on social media and instead just use it to share my own thoughts or promote what I'm doing. On the other hand, there are many people who are in to Bitcoin who are right leaning. I am not. One of the things about Bitcoin that draws me to it is the anti-authoritarian, anti-oppressive nature of it and how it can help empower the less fortunate of the world financially.

I care. I haven't heard bitcoiners talk of this topic specifically but I don't get the impression that Bitcoiners by-and-large don't care about it. Why do you think that is the case?

Thank you for sharing this. This is a beautiful video and really makes me appreciate the safety my family and I have. I love how it also shows how children and families can be happy and persist (relatively speaking) in even the most dire circumstances.

I dunno. My kid is only 3 but she's aged me 10 years! 😉
In all honesty though, this is smart. I'll never want to give up the ghost because I'll never stop loving her.

#Working is for people who haven't figured out how to work less yet.
40 hours x 50 weeks x 40 years = 80,000 hours.
Spend 1000 of those hours figuring out how to work less.

Congrats! I plan to do the same about a year from now, or if BTC price gets super hot later this year.

It's the only social media I use, but yeah it's got problems. For example, I don't see any of the replies to this thread. No idea why. And I definitely wouldn't be on here if I didn't care about Bitcoin. All the right-wing and conspiracy theory wackjob stuff on here is pretty annoying too.

We make it work and still save quite a bit of our income.
Our annual income is generally between 70-100K before any tax or deductions, and we live on 30k to 40k/yr.
I think most people can do this if they want too. They are just to attached to having 2 nice cars, a fancier house than they need, buying whatever they want at the grocery store, eating out frequently, buying stuff daily from Amazon, DIYing home repairs and maintenance instead of outsourcing everything, etc etc.
The "standard of living" has gone way up since decades ago when most family's lived off one income. It's still very much possible today on one average income.

Thanks so much for all you've done, Peter. You're show took me from having a casual interest into Bitcoin to truly going deep into it. You are great at what you do! Good luck in the next venture.

Zaps don't seem to work on the web version of @npub12vk…pugg that I use on my laptop.
I can't check my wallet balance either.
Is there anyway to fix this or is the functionality just not built yet?
Other than this, Primal on the web works great (thank you developers!!)
I don't use a smartphone because they are addicting and my #dumbphone doesn't allow #socialmedia.
It's frustrating when web interfaces are less functional than apps. It's similar on Instagram. It's like the developers are trying to force you to use the app. I understand why... because phones are addicting and increase screen time.
But I think a huge part of #freedomtech is breaking away from screen addiction and being in control of your digital consumption.
Giving up my #smartphone was one of the best things I did in the past few years for my #mentalhealth.

2024-08-27 22:31:54 UTC

Trying to like #NOSTR and I do, but I think the biggest problem is it's still #socialmedia... at least in this version of it.
I'm probably just showing my age but I feel like blogs and forums are so much better.

I love @npub1mea…qane. Would be great to see a "Proton Spreadsheet" feature eventually. Then I'd be all in and off google.

Aside from Bitcoin/Finance, what are your three favorite hobbies?
Here's mine:
1. Running (Built a lifestyle business around this)
2. Learning to DIY Everything (Cooking, home projects, tech, etc)
3. Soccer (Mostly just watching it for now... hopefully playing a little some day)

I went for a walk in my old neighborhood one night and heard this song playing from a second floor window. Three random guys were playing a cover of it in their living room. It was amazing.

Great points. Thanks for your response. Obviously everyone is going to come to a different conclusion about what the correct asset allocation is for them and that will change over time.
Self-custody is a really powerful tool. My grandfather actually had to flee his country to escape genocide when he was 10 years old and his family smuggled gold out of the country by hiding it in his clothes. So I get the value of self-custody and the benefits it provides.
Your point about "not trusting the state" is an interesting one. I'm lucky to live in the USA who I think is more trustworthy than most governments (at least for now). I'm willing to let reputable custodians hold stocks for me, but feel empowered knowing how to move stocks asset to btc self custody if needed in a time of crisis.

I agree that Bitcoin is likely the best asset in the world, but what if it proves not to be? Bitcoin is just software created and run by fallible humans after all (not too dissimilar to stocks which are claims to businesses run by humans). Going 100% into any one asset or asset class is risky. Diversification is one of the most important lessons we can take from investing. Buying 100% bitcoin may make you incredibly rich, but it may also make you incredibly poor. We can have faith and conviction that it will go up (like I do), but that doesn't change reality.

What a wonderful post and beautiful cat! Thank you for sharing these insights. I'm finding NOSTR to be a very refreshing take on social media. Holding bitcoin, when diversified in a portfolio to your risk tolerance, can give a lot of peace of mind. Set it and forget it. Hopefully in 10x years it's life changing money.

2024-08-11 11:32:50 UTC

Can someone explain to me why so many Bitcoiners are anti-stocks? Is it just an "all or nothing" Bitcoin-Maxi thing?
Investing as much of your income in the US Total Market or S&P500 Index as possible is pretty much a sure-fire way to become wealthy and support American enterprise. It's way less risky than putting "all your eggs in one basket" with something like BTC.

I think this is wise. Most people don't understand money or investing to begin with. Bitcoin is still complicated and not user friendly unfortunately. I think people around the world will come to it if and when they are ready and have a true need for it.

Yikes! Good job. I was just teaching a friend about the importance of this, but admittedly I told him most people never do it and neither have I. I probably should! Did you use a special tool or technique to get that stuff out?

Congrats on the move! Always an exciting time!
Sorry to hear about your package being stolen. I recently switched to using a PO BOX for my personal mail and delivery to Amazon Lockers when ordering from there. It's certainty "less convenient" than home delivery but it adds privacy and security... plus I like taking the trip to pickup the mail.
Also may I recommend a book? How To Resist Amazon And Why (2nd Edition): The Fight for Local Economics, Data Privacy, Fair Labor, Independent Bookstores, and a People-Powered Future! by Danny Caine.

If we can remove an unnecessary middle man, then why don't we?
After 18 years of exclusively using #creditcards for all purchases made in person, I've switched to using #cash this year.
Using cash has feels much more in line with my values.
Paying with cash gives the full value of your money to the recipient, encourages you to spend less, and gives you #privacy.
Paying with credit deprives a significant amount from the recipient, encourages you to spend more (even when you pay it off in full each month), and removes your privacy.
I still use a 2%-points-back credit card when necessary, but I'm convinced I spend at least 2% less by using cash over credit whenever possible.

I love your comment, "Being frugal is to be free."
I've felt that my whole life. Know how and being willing to "downside" if needed is a super power.
Another thing I've learned in the past 5 years is that, "Knowing how to make money through self-employment is to be free."
Combining the skills of "Frugal" + "Making Your Own Money" is a very resilient and calming way of life.
One risk is to not be so frugal that your life becomes more stressful. A recent learning example for me was keeping my old work computer for far too long. It was slow and extremely stressful to use. Upgrading to a new and relatively expensive one has saved me countless hours of work and stress. Lesson learned: don't overpay for a tool. Buy the right tool for your needs, but also know when to replace it.
