Hmm, I like the option of not selling your corn.
Have you ever thought about a CSA model? They buy shares in the biz and get guaranteed case of wine for the next x years at y discount off retail?
Might be a way to do this all using verifiable ownership on the block chain (Bitcoin of course, no shitcoins).

What skills do you want to get paid for? Start sharing projects you want to work on, skills you would love to deepen, how you want to contribute.
All of the best contracting and freelance work I have ever gotten came from contributing, doing the work myself and sharing what I was doing, and others said "Hey, I could use someone like you to help me do that too!".
In Bitcoin terms, focus on the proof of work, not the block reward. This is all my opinion, but comes from experience.

I vibe devops installed n8n on my little server at home.
Meaning, I used AI to help troubleshoot getting docker working, tailscale configured, and mess with the lxc in Proxmox to get everything working.
Some of the prosess stuck, other parts definitely went over my head, so just copied and pasted terminal commands.
But I loved getting to ask followup questions breaking down all of the arguments in a terminal commands I didn't understand. AI can be a bridge to understanding, but it requires curiosity on my part.
Goal is to learn how to automate some of my work, and learn how to self hosting other apps locally like imich.
Feel like this is the next step in my digital sovereignty journey.
Really not liking where all the SAAS apps are going, from sucking more and more revenue from users, to censorship and enabling surveillance.

I think making it easy for people to try and experience just how far Linux has come is valuable. Especially if they don't have to wipe their current machine to do it, or try and get dual boot working.

Does the service require an invite code?
Why is it structured that way if so?
I think there is a genuine conversation to be had about that fundamental decision, and an opportunity to bring the combo back to why you wanted to build it with those design decisions in the first place.
Even if they are "those kind of people" (not making that judgement myself), why not rise above instead of lowering to attacks on them?

I don’t agree with many of Trumps policies. But a few I really like.
I don’t agree with the way he is going about dismantling the government, but am glad som parts of government are being dismantled.
Learning that New Your Times was on the USAID payroll makes this YouTube video they put together all the more interesting.
The rhetorical devices used in this speech are fascinating.
Cherry picking programs that ‘may’ get impacted like the VA paints a picture in my mind that all these cuts are bad, when some may be bad, and some may be very warranted.
The repetition of ‘don’t believe him’ was a strong theme, and rhetorical device.
Makes me wonder what motivates the NYT, what their incentives are to make this video.

Bitcoin is winning.
I don't mean the price, even though that has gone up 24% in the last week.
$92,000 per Bitcoin, or as I like to see it, 2,616 Satoshis per dollar, is also not what I am talking about.
Bitcoin is winning because countries like Bhutan, and El Salvador are adopting it.
Bitcoin is winning because governments choose to spend more money than they bring in, and inflate away their deficit.
Bitcoin is winning because people have a choice to move out of the dollar/fiat system. Fiat loosing value (the government backed currency), just makes hard money (Bitcoin) not inside that inflationary system go up.
Gold used to be the only protection against your money being worth less and less every day. But you can't spend gold online. Gold is hard to transport. Hard to secure. Hard to move around.
I am celebrating Bitcoin winning because it means house prices are going down relative to bitcoin. It means providing for my family becomes more affordable over time, instead of unsustainable.
I am celebrating Bitcoin going up, not just because it means I will actually have some retirement money saved up, but because it means there is a whole new financial system being adopted that levels the playing field.
Money does not have to decrease in value every year.
So I am celebrating that money I put aside for my daughter’s education will grow over time, without having to chase investments that earn a 'yeild' trying desperately to outpace inflation.
I am celebrating people not needing permission to open a bank account, or ask someone else if they can move their money. I am celebrating businesses on a bitcoin standard not getting locked out of their bank accounts, or having funds frozen without recourse.
Bitcoin works on weekends, it works on holidays. It works across borders, and in person. It works without asking for permission.
There is another way. It looks different. It seems complex. But once you start to look under the hood, you realize how complex the current money system is, and just how broken it has become.
And that is why an alternative isn't just necessary, it was inevitable.
I am not saying you should buy Bitcoin. I am saying, you should question if inflation is necessary, if money should be worth less every year, and if the current fiat system is broken.
Once you answer that question for yourself, you can decide to look for a solution. For me, that solution is Bitcion.
