We sail through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs The moon in silver trees Falls down in tears Light of the night The Earth, a purple blaze Of sapphire haze In orbit always

While down below the trees Bathed in cool breeze Silver starlight breaks Down from night And so, we pass on by The crimson eye Of great god Mars As we travel the universe (with Bitcoin)...

As Bitcoin succeeds, people who once thought I was a reckless gambler now act like my success was obvious, automatic, inevitable.

It’s funny because from the outside, success looks like a straight line.

Up = genius Down = fool

But from the inside?

It feels like a swirling mess of doubt, chaos, and blind faith.

No straight lines. Just spaghetti.

No clue what direction you’re actually trending.

I never had discipline when it came to self-managing, I tend to over-work, break down work time in unpredictable ways and sequentially obsess over single micro-tasks part of a big task.

But it's been a couple of days trying to self-manage with the Pomodoro technique[1] and... it works?? I don't find myself looping over the same problem, and I actually get less strained allowing me to produce qualitatively better stuff.

  1. Pomodoro technique consists of breaking down focus/work in 25 minutes laps, every 25 minutes you do a 5-min break, away from the screen, and every 4 laps you do a 25 minutes break.

Wait, wait why does it keep your nicotine habit alive? 👀

Because I go smoke break for 5 minutes every hour lol

Ohhh, I do that while working since there’s IQOS here, I can smoke it inside.

I really need to kill my nicotine habit damn.

reply

Ah! Yeah I smoke the old fashioned way, which is dumb.

reply

All nicotine is dumb. I tried to reduce with alternatives:

  • heated tobacco
  • vapes
  • nicotine pouches
  • nicotine gums

And now I have 4 more ways to consume it. And I still smoke cigarettes! It’ll come the day I stop for good.

reply

I hate the pouches and haven't done the vape thing since 2005 - might try that again.

I have patches for when I fly intercontinental, that's it.

Would be best to just quit but maybe I'll do vapes again if I fail.

An excellent resource, thanks for sharing.

Everything that helps us improve is welcome.

Is it still happening? I assume every time you reload the page, it asks you to unlock the wallets?

I found a bug that would cause this.

Thanks for letting me know! We pushed a fix an hour ago, but sounds like that didn't fix what you're experiencing? Did you at least only have to enter your passphrase once this time?

Is your device maybe running out of space which could cause the browser to delete the key to decrypt your wallets?

I want to write an essay about AI as a tool vs. an extension.

I think AI will shape our lives as much as smartphones did, and I think we wouldn't say smartphones are "just tools." A tool does not shape our lives in so many unpredictable ways.

Let's see if I'll ever write it. Instead of only using my new notebook for journaling, I think I will also use it to take notes for essay ideas now.

reply

It sounds excellent, I'll be very eager to read it, will you publish it here?

Happiness Journal 17/7/25

It isn’t every day that pure, unadulterated joy consumes my whole being, much like a cup of warm Arashiyama sake warming up my senses. Yesterday, I spent 45 minutes trying to help the mother of a child give consent to him receiving vaccinations. You might think that granting permission is easy, given the prevalence of digital technologies these days, but I can see why it would be daunting for a foreigner who hasn’t been schooled in much English. That’s why I kept my cool and maintained my patience, calling multiple times and taking various screenshots.

Today, I checked with the nurse. Success! The mother had finally managed to give consent. I immediately marched to the classroom to get her son. He obviously expressed reluctance in getting the vaccinations, but well, the broad grin on his face betrayed his cool demeanour. I guess he doesn’t want to feel left out, even if he doesn’t care about getting vaccinated.

As a productivity-consumed individual, I have to confess that I felt euphoric because my 45 mins of hard work didn’t go to waste. But I’m also happy for the boy and his mother. That’s one administrative nightmare that I helped them to avert.

reply

I love reading your diary every day, thank you for sharing it with us. Is the administration there very tedious just for one vaccine?

reply

Need not be, if you can read English!

I think that mother was having trouble because she was more conversant with Bahasa Indonesia
