Staying humble and stacking sats vs shitcoining

I think im gonna stop feeding the machine.

Maybe a good time replace the question “What do you do?” with “What do you care about?” The first one often comes with a title or qualifications.

Every now and then I’m just overwhelmed with a sense of hope and optimism that springs directly from Bitcoin and the people in it building the parallel system, and that I get to be a part of that. Just had a big wave of hope hit me while out on a walk.

I’m so glad I know I’m too retarded to trade.

Yeah, just freaks me out that your body stops naturally producing T, so if you start it you’re stuck. I’ll reconsider it in my 50s.

Some degree of “blind” belief seems necessary to our agency. I use quotes because I don’t think it’s actually blind in the religious or even intellectual context. But it does involve a degree of faith. I have models that afford me agency in the world. I’m not entirely sure these models are correct, but they allow me a movement in the world. So I trust and have faith in them. Because without them I’m stagnant. I also considered myself an atheist for many years and scoffed at the idea of faith. But I have a different understanding of it now. Faith allows us to step forward when we’re really not sure where our foot will land. Faith doesn’t have to be religious. I have faith in relationships and my framing of the world, but that doesn’t mean they won’t change or evolve. Faith is not rigid. Not sure if that was helpful or not but those are the ramblings that your post provoked out of me. That and the two cups of cold brew coffee I’ve had. GM

The Newfies knew: “The Newfoundland experience well into the nineteenth century was not that of lawful colonists building up the civic institutions of a state, but one of rugged individualists, shy of all civic authority. Even in the 1930s, the Englishmen on the Amulree Royal Commission who were sent out from London to determine the political and financial circumstances of the island were shocked to find hardly any municipal government outside the city of St. John’s” - Don’t Tell The Newfoundlanders: The True Story of Newfoundland’s Confederation With Canada By Greg Malone #Newfoundland #sovereignty

The moment you tell me to stop drinking coffee is the precise moment I tune out everything else you say.
