Yeah, I've been waiting on the android app too. Hopefully soon..

Thanks for sharing, just signed up. Would be keen to join a team preferably NZ based.

Thank you, I have been eyeing up the three body problem as it's the only one on your list that my local bookseller holds.

I've been enjoying the The Expanse series by James SA Corey. This is my first Science Fiction series outside of film/television though.

Not a bad list, most of my favourites are in the top 20. The list would have been better if if was the top 50 gaming franchises though.

All good :)

Burnout society is about how modern society is causing a rise in mental health issues. Han talks about how we're always pushing ourselves to be productive and optimize everything, which leads to burnout, anxiety, and depression because we end up exploiting ourselves.

The Varoufakis book was a gift from my partner after she had listened to a podcast about anarcho-capitalism and thought I would be interested. I don't follow him, and probably won't read much more of his work. I guess his book did make me more aware of how much of my attention I give MSM, and other cloud platforms.

Yeah that's right, .10 would be about $500 or roughly $900 in my local currency.

I sold .10 Bitcoin in 2019 to buy a BMX to cruise around with my nephew. I then sold the BMX for a fraction of what I bought it for less than a year later. That amount of btc would make up a not insignificant portion of my hodlings if I still had it today.

You live and you learn.

I was planning to read at least one book a month, but distractions happened I guess. Here is what I did read in 2024:

I really like this idea, and have won an auction. Hope to see more of this in the future :)

Keeping things simple: Read more, Lift more, and Stack more.

I don't normally make New Years resolutions, but there are some themes that I do focus on. For example this year I decided to quite drinking alcohol, in two weeks time It would be an entire year since I had my last drink.

I'm confident that I am healthier than I was this time last year, and plan to continue building on that.

Couldn't agree more, I've had enough of reddit.

Easy ways of investing into Bitcoin are ETFs, retirement savings plans, and exchanges. Starting with these are habit forming, and then they can go from there. My job is to show them where the rabbit hole is, they can decide how to go down it from there.

My approach has been to try and be as subtle and accessible as I can be. I like the idea of sending people sats, and have tried this in the past with great results.

Most people I know are fascinated by my approach to personal finance. I run my household on a strict zero-based budget. Every single cent I earn is delegated to a specific need. It does need some tweaking from time to time, but it works rather well.

Once I have explained how my budgeting system works, that is where I reveal my intent. I budget and track everything so that I can look for ways to save on costs. The more money I can save, the more bitcoin I can buy.

From there I then explain how they can invest in bitcoin, which is in a number of ways. I find if I make it too technical, then they tend to lose interest. So I instead explain all the easy ways to invest in bitcoin while stressing self-custody as the end goal.

I have onboarded a few friends this way, and my partner is onboard too.

Ha! I was recently watching a YouTube video about Palau, and at one point they walked passed one of these stones. I remember thinking that person must be rich.

Thank you, it's good to be here :D

To be honest, I've really only learned to become detached recently. I grew up in a household where being yelled and screamed at was the norm. I've come to the conclusion that if we are running late; firstly - it is my fault, I should have turned the tv off sooner. Secondly, it really doesn't matter if shes late or not.

I consider the qualities I outlined to be both good and bad. Good for doing things with intention, bad for making other people wait. Aside from that she is extremely funny, with a sense of potty humor that can only come from me.

Parenting is hard for me because my daughter has inherited my best and worst qualities. I'm stubborn, I like to do things my own way, and I like to take my time to get things done. With my daughter, I get to experience these things every day. She takes forever getting ready for daycare, she will change her clothes at least 3 times before we even leave the house, and she refused to listen when I need her to the most.

Parenting is hard for me because I am learning and experiencing things that I never would have otherwise. I'm good friends with people who choose not to have children, and they often ask me why I had one. I never give an answer because you can't compare parenthood to anything else, and I simply do not have time to explain it.

The easiest part about being a dad, is that I am a dad first, and everything else comes second to my family, and I am o.k with that.

I stumbled upon SN while searching for a guide. Can't remember what I was looking for though.

I would love to see this, but I imagine that energy companies would simply new and creative ways to extract money out of consumers.
