NVK probably already retweeting all of this as we speak!
“Once you understand the power of your words, you won’t just say anything.
Once you understand the power of your thoughts, you won’t just think anything.
Once you understand the power of your presence, you won’t just be anywhere.”
what you have, where the backups are, and the steps from opening the wallet to turning coins into cash.
Imagine dying a painful death and then your heirs going back to fiat! So much for the generational wealth!
Understanding that those moments are a part of a larger plan that will prepare you for the days when you can shine according to God’s plan for you.
You are being sculpted, but you are also the sculptor.
Depends on your natural chemistries.
Often if you don’t see each other in a long time, you develop different habits and values, and grow apart.
You get influenced by who you spend time with.
Sometimes you notice your friends have developed normie habits (such as messaging/checking their phones all the time while in your company aka started to take your friendship for granted).
That’s a test for the friendship.
Are your friends clanker bots too?
When you meet with them every 2 years, can you both still tolerate silent pauses without any awkwardness?
Also accepting that what you consider as utopian might not be achieved in your lifetime, but by your actions and examples you set to people around you, you can be a part of making that happen.
This might give you more purpose and meaning.
Should have gone to Sweden instead of Finland.
Sweden doesn’t have gift tax.
I suspect there was a lady involved in Finland, and like in many cases, pussy turned out to become a man’s downfall.
Too many innocent people get sick or die from mosquito bites.
A probiotics product to replace DEET sprays would be neat.
And also real bitcoin
it is good to have more than one implementation.
These two statements in the same paragraph sound kinda schizophrenic
“According to the people who live there”.
Almaty has a surprisingly low rating. When I visited 2 years ago, it was clean, safe and modern. I could have imagined living there. I thought Kazakhstan was also doing economically well yakshemash
Grass is always greener on the other side etc. The wages are low so people dream of a work visa in EU.
Then they find themselves somewhere like Milan and realize it’s actually shittier there!
Culture-specific. Finns (and maybe Eastern Europeans in general) have mastered the art of communication through silence: you can build exceptional rapport even with a stranger by not talking too much and employing strategic silent pauses.
Silence lets both sides let their guards down and be comfortable.
With e.g. Indians and Americans I’ve learned to have a more high-energy, talkative approach.
I think it’s about making the other side comfortable and about bouncing off of each other’s energies.
The best silence though is when you can turn off the rattle of your mind and bask in a meditative state!
Sometimes, they just seem uncomfortable I'm not scrolling like them. It seems doing nothing in public while waiting is frowned upon now.
Nobody cares. It’s just in your head. We often think we’re a main character in other people’s lives too. We’re not. But the ego believes that.
You could start clapping, doing push-ups or let out a short scream in the waiting room, and the NPCs would probably just raise their head for some seconds, look at you judgingly, and then immerse themselves back in TikTok reels again.
One of the best things in life is when you catch a baby staring at you (they always do that!), and you stare back at giving a smile. Always makes my day!
Costa Rica seems to have one of the best conditions to the circular economy evolution: tourism, lot of small businesses, unbanked merchants, less strict regulations(?)
Still, lot of hard work from the Bitcoin Jungle community too. That can’t be downplayed.
Maybe the success from Bitcoin Jungle could be codified to some open-source step-by-step manual for the rest of the world about how to create Bitcoin circular economies.
At least if Blackrock or Coinbase loses your coins, you will become “Dear Mr. Creditor”.
Coldcard and Ledger Cryptobilis victims don’t get the same treatment.
Self-custody is the backbone of Bitcoin but hard to judge normies for not trying it.
