“Love is the answer. Not reason, not logic, but Love. Love for yourself, love for others, and love for being itself. True, unconditional Love. If you love someone unconditionally you accept them as they are; if you love the underlying ground of being unconditionally, you accept things as they are—including yourself. Loving fully implies forgiving fully, and that’s the hardest thing of them all. Forgiving others. Forgiving God. Forgiving yourself.”

Already doing it: #784376
Why? Because:
- I want to help extend Bitcoin circular economy
- It's a location-independent business
- I think there are underutilized opportunities in the gift card resale space
- I think copyright free media needs to be more of a thing
- I want to give fellow bitcoiners ways to save and earn sats
- Hopefully the platform will also, at some point, act as a way to orange pill newbies
I can't say that I really enjoy running it thus far for a variety of reasons, including: starting it and getting some traction has been way more difficult than I thought, I'm not yet able to pay a salary to myself (not to mention being able to hire anyone else), there has been little to no interest both from the customers as well as potential investors, lots of technical and accounting questions popping up at all times which I would rather not deal with, etc. All in all, it's a lot of work and the value it's providing to the ocmmunity thus far seems to be rather negligible.
That being said, I'm happy I've taken this path and I'm still hopeful that it may offer some value to bitcoiners and businesses around the world, and that I will be able to pay my bills and provide for my future family through this business at some point.
Now, I actually have a whole list of possible business ideas I'd be keen to try, some other examples:
- Hostel/coworking/coliving space combo (could also include a cafe, yoga studio, gym, library, live events, etc.)
- Cafe/restaurant specializing on keto/carnivore/animal based offerings
- Website/service facilitating mentorships
- A Festival combining: Bitcoin, music, yoga, food, freedom tech
- Recovering from an illness
- A bit of reading, a bit of writing
- Maybe someone with PHP/Wordpress/Woocommerce experience can help with this problem: There's a weird anomaly with my site SATOSH.EE (#784376) that I've been trying to fix since launch - the referral links don't work. What's especially peculiar is that they do work - when navigated to the referral link twice during the same session. I've been in contact with plugin creators, hosting support, googling, figuring out the issue with AI for months now an have come up with nothing. The cookie is there but the plugin code is not called. Disabling all other plugins & reverting to WP default theme did not work. Disabling CDN did not work. Tried a second referral plugin and it had the same issue. I'm out of ideas... BTW they did work when I was still in buidl mode in early 2024. I think upgrading the site from PHP version 7.4 to 8.3 could have something to do with it but am not sure.
- Polishing the investor pitch to get funding for SATOSH.EE
- Trying to sell my car
- If all goes well maybe I'll find a moment to practice music making
Well IDK, I see it more like: in order to escape the Matrix you have to first acknowledge you're in the matrix. Or - to really see the potential of BTC, you have to understand the pitfalls of fiat and how it's broken.
I feel like most dudes out there don't even know they are broken. As such, they will never get themselves together. Perhaps messages like this one wake someone out there up and make them take their fate and their role in it more seriously.

I was just thinking today... that this bull market really feels like a bear market. Quiet, everybody seems dissatisfied, no product or protocol in the space seems to be really "taking off," it kinda seems like an "extend and pretend" from like 2021... Perhaps I'm wrong and this really is only the beginning of a bull. But my bearish senses have been tingling for macroeconomic struggles since the banking crisis of 2023 and they haven't stopped since.
