Nice one!
Intoxicated by Bitcoin and high on hope for a better future!
So do you smoke it or snort it?
wait you don't have to boof it?
No, thats for shitcoins.
Endorphins are my drug of choice
After browsing some of @elvismercury's links today I found this discussion between @cryotosensei and @Undisciplined about MBTI and I completely forgot that that exists.
So I got a bit curious and figured that maybe now that I feel myself a hot mess, and after a longer time of not testing this, I am something sensible. But no, I'm still INTP-A. Aka a non-conformist who makes any struggle that isn't real, really real. It's not even far off, which is worrying.
This excitable ENFP reports for discussion. And boy, am I excited. Don’t let me overwhelm you.
So many questions racing through my mind:
Struggle is subjective; it's not about absolutes but more about perception. If you're both a perfectionist and a skeptic, you will experience problems with commonly accepted mundane solutions to be in need of analysis and improvement and by that, you'll automatically make it harder than it has to be. For everything, because you keep probing, so while you're dealing with your struggle of the moment, other things fall apart.
At least for me personally, there is no idealized struggle; it's just a constant stream of problems to solve and if there aren't any (or I just ignore a bunch) then I'll make some trouble and there be novel struggle. So yes, if you're me, you better enjoy the struggle, because it's all you're going to get!
I'm not dismayed by INTP-A per se... I've never been something else, which is worrying: "where is the flaw?"
I think I actually got ENTJ the last time I took one of those and it was eerily dead on.
What I like is that it differentiates between types of intro/extra over context, this part I guess is rather well matched.
Group brainstorming drains me and I get impatient, so I'm definitely introvert that way. But socially, being among people gives me energy, and some of the best ideas are born in just normal conversation, unforced; so I'm definitely not introvert in that scenario, at least not when compared to my friends that need recovery time after that - I'm the opposite.
This makes me actually appreciate the framework, even though it's probably still generalizing too much.
Sounds like you can only let your hair down when you are with your tribe and create a conducive headspace for brainwaves to strike you
I think the suppression of impatience is key. It must have taken me half a decade to learn to control my overt dominance in large settings, and trust people enough to steer from the smaller followup meetings, through suggestion rather than brute force. That was a very hard skill to learn.
This is for example why I have never joined the Bitcoin PR Review Club (even though I've wanted to since forever) and instead just read the logs, because I'm not sure that on IRC I could have the patience and self-control to not make a mess, I think that it's better for everyone if I'm not there.
For me, it turned out that I'm not actually an introvert, I just don't like most people.
So do you find yourself dialing down the E aspect quite a bit?
I find it exhausting being around people who are constantly saying things that I want to correct, but know I shouldn't.
In a group of genuinely open curious people, I love having lively discussions and disagreements.
There are just way more of the first type of people, so I often end up being fairly reserved.
lol! That reminds me of whenever I used to be accused of being arrogant, I'd say "then don't suck!" I parted with pronouncing that but if I'm totally honest, there are times I still think it.
A daily mantra ✨️🤠

Man, the synchronicity! I had similar thoughts & wrote about this in my journal yesterday :)
I'm glad to know that!
Thanks for your reply.
Here is another reminder of our fortnightly appointment, to brainstorm ideas and bring projects forward. Similar to the Stacker Saloon, it will stay pinned in the ~Design territory hot section for two weeks, recursively, giving us time to discuss and provide feedback.
Whatever you are thinking about... A new app? Book? Review your apartment furniture setup following feng shui? Upgrading your 4x4 suspensions? 3D print something for your miner? Redesign your garden yard? What else?
Share it in the pinned post What creative ideas have you been rambling on?
₿e Creative, have Fun!
:D
Hey @DarthCoin, have you read this?

yes, some years ago
I am trying to figure out a way to approach my step brother regarding our father's legacy (not much to talk about) but I need to figure a way to talk to the dude, cause from what I know and seen so far he seems to have been intoxicated by his mother with fake info, apart from her keeping him far from my dad. Any good conversation breakers? Any advice?
Kill em with kindness and facts
basically that is the great plan. but I need some strings to master the show. thank you!
Meet him at a neutral place with all the records, money, etc and share with him.
that is one of the options I am considering, but it might be brutal to him if he shares my father's sensitivity....
The Twin Desalination Plants (or: How to Pipe Truth Through The Saltwater Of Lies)
Two plants stand on the same shore, built from the same blueprints—yet one pumps clear, while the other churns out brine, its filters clogged with brackish rumors, its gauges reading Dad: Villain in bold red ink.
You can’t blast the pipes clean with facts, ingredients or elements. That’s how the the system bursts! Instead, drip fresh water into the mix: Found Dad’s old [tool/recipe/photo].
Remember when he [epic fail]?
Guy was a master of disaster, but he loved trying.
Look at this. He couldn’t [basic skill] to save his life, but damn, he committed! What? Common sense !
No lectures. No Your mom lied type of counter-speech! Just shared sediment—proof that the water can run clear.
The fog won’t lift overnight. But every neutral memory, every laugh at the past, is a backwash cycle, rinse and repeat, flushing salt from the system. One day, the pressure equalizes. The plants sync. And the water? Finally drinkable.
For now? No collisions. Just slow, steady flow like witnessing the Triangulum Galaxy being pushed further and further away because Andromeda next to the Milky Way!
Best of luck !!!
awesome. thank you for sharing this. I really appreciate it!
Maybe try a genealogy approach? From my experience most people find their family tree very interesting. The conversation can evolve into stories about your father, which may break the ice.
From what I already know about him, that approach will probably kill the conversation before anything. I am inclined to be relatively straight forward and treat him like regular family. I feel like this way he will be kinda obliged to listen me and comply with what I need him to do. But I am still balancing thoughts.
Well, good luck. It sounds like a tough situation
thanks. I do need it and yes, it is really though.

is the cold weather not helping you yet to increase your mining rate per day?
I just haven’t cranked it back up. I probably could though, the cold should help

These past two weeks, I have been consistently and gotten my son to read 《援助之手》 aloud. Thanks to my strategic use of spaced repetition, he is now able to read words like 特别, 玩具, 玩耍 without missing a beat.
Although I know very well that he is utilizing his muscle memory and won’t be able to recognise these characters in another book, I am still happy. Forcing my third-culture kid to utter some Chinese words is like pulling teeth, so anything that gives me the illusion of progress is a win for me.
