I’m glad to hear that this has been helping with your anxiety. People who live on the streets have many stories to tell and truly interesting perspectives.
I remember that when I was a teenager and studied in the city center, there were several homeless people in front of the course I attended. I used to talk to them, and one of them once told me that he knew Greek, Latin, and German. He ended up living on the streets after his wife cheated on him, took everything he had in the divorce, and, consumed by depression, lost his way.
He also told me about a newly arrived homeless woman we had seen in the area for the first time. Her story was similar: she was deceived by the man she believed to be the love of her life, who stole everything she had. Devastated, she lost control, went mad, and ended up living on the streets.

My next buys I’ll use non kyc or P2P
I believe that not even in a film script about the creation of a sacred artifact with all the aspects of bitcoin, we would have the things that it provided us in real life. An anonymous creator, a perfect and decentralized gear, "digital gold", I take this opportunity to say that this is a little of what Bitcoin is for me and I add that I see it as the end of state control over something that has always been controlled by them, the idea of freedom and opensource in its purest meaning. I'm almost becoming actually religious, lol.
I also usually do this to know who I'm talking to and how I should talk to that person. As much as I have labeled it, it is the easiest way to define a huge group of people who have common ideas. In my daily life I am very political and I rarely get into discussions, I express my thoughts, which I consider to be libertarian, in a healthy way and when I am provoked to do so. I'm still learning this philosophy, but for me it's the one that best represents the world and human beings.
I agree. The so-called "progressives" are nothing more than opportunists, selling themselves as innovation taking for themselves the agendas that would make Lenin and Stalin turn in their graves, and I mention these two because we know that for them the ideal of government is good old communism with the central government controlling everything and everyone.
Regarding the conservatives, I see that they have been aligning themselves with some liberal agendas focused on the economy, as politicians here in my country say "Liberal in the economy and conservative in customs" which is a contradiction in itself. And many of these conservatives are in fact true progressives by the definition of the word.
I saw this war much clearer in the mainstream in the covid pandemic.
I discovered as someone unaware of this that everything has a chip, televisions, cars, household appliances, simple IOT devices. All of this became more expensive and that's when I understood how important chips are in our current world.
And in my humble layman's opinion, wasn't Taiwan just invaded because of its importance in the production of chips, a new commodity?
AIs arrived and shook up Google's terrain, I myself often prefer to search for something using AI that provides references rather than searching on Google. There's no denying that Google was smart in incorporating all kinds of interconnected information into its search system, maps, news, YouTube, it's not difficult to easily find what you're looking for. I have already tried and still use some alternatives, such as DuckDuckGo. However, these require a little more work to find what you are looking for. Perhaps this is why Google still has this monopoly.
I believe that in the near future and with new generations arriving, this monopoly will be shaken by the use of AIs, even more so with deepseek arriving and showing that high computational power is not needed to function well.
An important reflection, which also shows that empires, monetary systems and currencies come and go. Gold stands firm as a store of value, but not as currency. That's why I trust that bitcoin is the best way ever invented to fix gold's mobility "problem".
Congratulations, from what I see this habit is good for you. I hope you are making good gains with it, physically and financially. Is this work turning into good Satoshis?
I have already approached close friends today. I believe explaining and educating them will be easy—the real challenge lies with colleagues and other people.
As much as your idea is good, and I am seriously considering organizing these meetings, it makes me think that, for them, it might seem like a lunatic trying to sell a course or a pyramid scheme.
I think it’s better to start slowly, bringing people in gradually. Then, once I have many supporters, I will have the opportunity to present it with like-minded people who are already educated on the topic, showing that this is neither a scam nor something overly complicated.
Oh yes. Good point, in fact in many economies the cost of recycling is higher even considering all the people who do this service for free. Even so, I think that the accumulation of garbage would bring harm in the long run, of course, with this open and aimless market, new business opportunities would arise from this discarded and non-recycled material. I don't know of any studies and I haven't looked into it in depth to actually know what the best option would be.
In fact, I cannot understand what is going on in the heads of the Hamas leadership. The objective can only be null and based on a pseudo-leadership that they impose on the citizens of Gaza and on their own subordinates. Whatever their intention was, it died with the election of time and with the obstinacy of Israel.
Garbage is still money. I think it is necessary to measure the impact of recycling and not recycling. Because in practical matters, recycling generates income for many people and theoretically reduces the need for newly extracted raw materials. No longer recycle?
I imagine the adrenaline you felt when he let you drive.
I've always wanted to learn to pilot. It's like learning to drive, it's a very useful knowledge.
Don't take my comment the wrong way, but stories like yours are a valuable lesson so that newbies like me don't make the same mistakes and understand right from the start that only bitcoin is the currency of currencies in fact. I understand it as the invention of the wheel, an invention so important that it changed and will change not only the monetary system but any other interactions through the truly decentralized system.
