I'm reminded of the story of the grasshopper and the ant.
Bitcoiners are the dutiful ants stacking sats relentlessly preparing for the coming winter while the grasshoppers are frittering away valuable time before disaster strikes.

Personally, I'm cautious and usually only speak about Bitcoin to people I know relatively well. I've never attended a conference, so for me that's not a problem. The thought of a wrench attack crosses my mind, though.
When Bitcoin goes absolutely bonkers and the world potentially turns to crap, how many of these people will knock on my door and in desperation will any of them come to try to do me harm.

I also zap about 25 sats on average, but that's also because that's what I tend to receive mostly, so I imagine for me it has to do with price anchoring early on in my nostr journey.
As for zapping I try to pay my zaps forward and zap out anything I earn wasting time on zbd games during a day.
I do fight the urge to horde sats, though I know that if we want this to work we have to spread the love.

For me, it's because the penny will be worth less by the time you pick it up, put it in your pocket and take it home, the sats are very likely to be worth more.

Thanks.
Getting away from the news cycle helps. Spending time in Nostr feels healthier. I try to spend time with friends and family and play with my dog, which always helps.
I practice gratitude. Compared to other friends, I'm well positioned to weather an uncertain future.
I also try to focus only on what I can control. Every once in a while though it just washes over you.

2024-09-30 17:46:46 UTC

I have to admit, there are really frightening things happening in this world right now. Things I believed could only happen in books. And it chills me to my very core.
I wake up with feelings of unease, my dreams filled with anxiety.
I feel that we're nearing another turning point in our history. There will be a before and there will be an after.
I just pray that we are able to navigate through these dark times while protecting the shining beacon of liberty, freedom, and the very foundation of our civilization .
We can never give up our fight against the dark forces swirling around us, or we will be consumed

It takes a humble person to look deeply into Bitcoin.
It tears apart your deeply ingrained belief structures and it takes a special kind of openness to being wrong to be able to do that.
Most people haven't suffered enough to be motivated to be humble.

It took me until Bitcoin and the Rabbit hole for me to really see the cage.
I always use a wallpapered room as the analogy of my cage. Since I was 15, I'd noticed the wallpaper had cracks and seams that didn't fit right, but I never wanted to look closely at what I was seeing. I trusted in my world view and believed there must be something wrong with me not the wallpaper or the room I was in.
Then I found Bitcoin and it was as though the wallpaper had now peeled off in parts, just enough to let some light through. It made me curious about what that light was and so I ripped the wallpaper off the wall and discovered the cage that it had been hiding and the truth on the other side. Now I can't unsee it.

For me, that happens when my brain gets stuck like a record in a groove.
Have you tried listening to ASMR?
If you can find an ASMR person with the right voice to calm and relax you, then you can focus on their voice instead of the thoughts in your head and you drift off pretty quick.
No matter how jacked up my brain is, it works for me.
There are lots of good ASMR videos on YouTube. It'll take a bit to find the right voice for you, but there's a lid for every pot.

It mean Pura Vida
It is a Spanish phrase that translates to "pure life" in English.
It is commonly used in Costa Rica and has become a popular expression that conveys a sense of happiness, simplicity, and appreciation for life.
It can be used in various contexts, such as greeting someone, expressing satisfaction, or as a way to say goodbye. It embodies a laid-back, positive attitude.

Thanks.
Actually there are several modern schools of psychotherapy that have based their systems around the Stoics and their beliefs.
Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy and the ever popular and effective Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for example.
It was the effectiveness of those therapies with my clients and in my own life that drove me to read and study the source material. There isn't much left in existence, unfortunately, but what there is, is definitely worth the read.
If your interested in looking into a modern interpretation of Stoicism based on the ancient texts, I would recommend Ryan Holiday's work, specifically 'The Obstacle is the Way'. Also, Donald Robertson's 'Stoicism and the Art of Happiness' is very good as a jumping off point too. 😊

Yes.
I hate how, in our society, something being in our mind is considered a pejorative.
Our entire worldly experience is filtered through our mind. So in that way everything that we experience is only in our mind.
That doesn't mean what's happening up there isn't having real physiological consequences on our body and our daily functioning.
There are, of course, things that we can do to mitigate and work through anxiety just like any other pain or illness but the fact the anxiety exists in the biochemistry of our brain does not make it any less real.
