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.

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

Wow- this just triggered a deep emotional response in me. Powerful image. GN 🧡🙏

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.
