Met someone 60+, speaks fluent English, has a sharp brain, and walks faster than me, even though on fasting. And the most fascinating part is he lives his happy life without a phone or number.
I am really happy to see this is possible - when most people give up living in their 30s or 40s, this cool soul in his 60s is still so passionate about learning and sharing, which also reminded me of @darthcoin
I am also almost 60, but I live like I am in my 30-35.
How is that possible?
- out of big cities
- eat mostly your own grown food, not processed
- no stress, clear your mind with long walks into the nature
- work outside at least 1h/day (even if you have a desk job). Having a vegetables garden helps you a lot. Or some chickens.
- spend less on crap things, calculate well your income and spending.
- do not go to a "medic" because "you feel bad". Treat yourself with old natural remedies and drink clean water. Mountain spring water is the best cure you could ever get. And herbs. I have at least 25 years that I never went to a doctor. And was not "sick" at all.
- NEVER listen or do what a gov says. Only opposite. Always.
Now I am building my own citadel, with my own bare hands, deep into a mountain valley. To be almost self sufficient and live in peace. And will be a Bitcoin "retreat", a monument dedicated to Bitcoin and free world.
I don't know how much time will take, it doesn't matter. I still have at least 50 years more to live and enough to build it. So I decided to dedicate my time to Bitcoin and my citadel. Not doing anything else more.
And when will be ready, maybe I will put a 24/7 webcam and people see me and/ or ask me questions about Bitcoin, live, in real time.

Marked down all your secrets 🤓️
And I am moving out of big city within next month. Living in big cities is like living in an illusion; one might think he can easily get the "best" of everything, yet missing out on the real taste in life.

What could be more relaxed than walking through a bunch of cows taking a sun bath?

We are converting family property in NW Mississippi back into the nearly self-sustaining farm/ranch it was back in my grandparent's day up to the 1980s. I spent 20 years in San Fran shunning that life. Now I long for it and see how short-sighted I have been.

Living the life - when will we get to read articles about the darthcoin way of living 🤓️

Highly recommend moving out of the city. Especially if you have kids. Moved out of the city 15 months ago and now my kids get to play and walk in nature instead of a jungle of concrete and steel. We hear birds and trees rustling in the breeze instead of cars and construction site noise.
And the biggest plus, I don't spend 3 hours a day in horrible traffic trying to navigate the city and construction and accidents etc. I usually walk to local shops to pick up the small things we need and my wife drives to the grocery store (5 minutes drive) once a week to pick up food for the week. My son takes Taekwondo lessons (only 15 minutes drive) and my daughter takes gymnastics and dance lessons (only 10 minutes drive). Otherwise we only drive when we have to travel back to the city for something.

Just remember that no one can survive alone.
Even Bitcoin needs a peer to work.
Also you need Internet, electricity, etc, all of those require civilization.
And your mental health would be horrible if you don't talk to other humans.
reply
can't survive alone.
Watch me.
I choose that place exactly because no one can come and break my silence. I prefer to be surounded by cows not by people.
You are saying that because the fear inside you is talking. I am fearless. I trained myself to not have any fear. Fear is what makes us weak and controlable.
reply
I also prefer to be surrounded by nature, away from the crowd. That is how one can think and do deep work.
I believe what we actually need is 1-2 like-minded people around, and the rest is optional.

You're probably still going to rely on mail delivery, electricity from the grid, Internet, etc.
Not seeing another person doesn't mean you're not relying on someone else to live your life.
reply
LOL
mail delivery? For what? To bring me what? I don't need it.
Electricity? From the grid? Are you out of your mind? I have 2 small rivers just on the property, that I can make a small hydro.
Internet? Maybe, to connect some BTC miners to that extra hydro power I would have. Satellite is very well positioned.

As humans, we need social interaction.

I have cows. I can talk with them if I want

Or you want me to talk with these "humans"?

I am 57. I suspected you and I share a generational connection.

Fasting is great for your body, it makes your body turn into repair mode.
Intermittent fasting is a proven way to stay healthier.
Privacy is great, you can use GrapheneOS if you want to use a modern phone without being a data point for big tech

Where are you from? You need to meet and talk to more older people. Most people surely do not give up living in their 30s or 40s. i regularly see 50 and 60 year olds climbing mountains and hiking alpine trails in the U. S.
reply
That is really cool, and yes, I enjoy hanging out with old people now and learning how to do things naturally.
reply
This man sounds great, but I don't see that many people giving up living in their 30s and 40s. I like the idea of no phone number. Does he have internet? Also, he speaks fluent English. What country does he live in?
reply
Give up living as I don't see sparkles in their eyes anymore.
He has a computer at home, and he's Turkish living in Türkiye.
reply
Do you live in Turkiye? I have a friend there who is a Turkish citizen who lived in the US for 35 years.
reply
Yes, I have been living here for two years.
