 When I see a intellectual people NOT understand Bitcoin, what is often preventing them from “ge... 
 I agree and would like to add the idea, that Bitcoin forces you to being confronted with your true self. And that is a tough one to swallow for most of us 
 the loudest one is the most guilty 
 Unless you want to bring a really important point across 
 the more fiat is being inflated, the more irrelevant it will become. Time alone will make this happen.
#Bitcoin is here to stay 
 Freakin’ great video, too 
 MG 😍 
 Who made that picture? I am looking for a high resolution version.
It‘s so beautiful, great piece of art 
 been one month since i’ve had alcohol or caffeine 
 The caffeine part I found much harder! 
 The conclusion that we should aim for measurement stability rather than price stability struck me. I knew the principle through #bitcoin but have never seen it compressed into language so beautifully.
Thank you 🙏 
 Amazing progress in such a short amount of time. Baking bread is such a rewarding thing to get involved with 
 I very much share his views on collectivism vs. individualism and self sovereignty. To implement the theory of individualism and freedom is the task at hand then. Let‘s produce countable results, this is what I will aim for and look for. 
 Pleasure my friend! This is a great result for a first time. Hope there are many more to come! 
 who's "they?" 
 Don‘t have the answer but like the question 
 A lot of people fail up because weak people are afraid of competence & comfortable around lazy me... 
 So damn true 
 With all the unshakeable greatness of #BTC comes a corresponding amount of responsibility. I just realized how pure that motivation feels! Let‘s fuckin‘ do this! 
 Yes. It feels absolute! I hear you! 
 This question has been coming up for me: what is it about my psychedelic experiences in the past that has connected me to Bitcoin and other related topics (i.e. diet, health). I have the strong feeling that there is a connection. I always asked this question in a way of: what did I see there or what curtain was risen, what gain of knowledge did it bring so that I came to new conclusions…
Now I have come to realize that this might be the wrong question to ask. It may be the amount of knowledge that I took for granted (or was programmed with through school and later medical, media etc.) that I was now able to drop and leave behind that made me able to see the value and truths in other things, like bitcoin! (This relates to one of the aspects of psychedelics that they kind of reset or at least influence something we call the default mode network). So the better question here might be: what so I NOT think anymore and thought patterns was I able to leave behind?
This feels like it brings me much closer to the right answer than before…
Anyway, just my 2 cents on this sunday morning 
 Very well said my brother. Agreed. 
 Psychedelics are by no means the only path. Any process the helps one to connect to oneself and nature is helpful in that respect 
 Yup. Gutes Buch. TL:DR: jeder sollte sich zunächst mal an die eigene Nase fassen! 
 I feel like I should share the story of how I broke my leg, exclusively on Nostr, and how that ch... 
 Nay! 
 What does surf, #Bitcoin and Yoga have in common? 
 I don‘t have the answer but sure as hell love the question!

 I share your view… it is so hard though to argue that way. You are confronted with so much ignorance and ms-media-fed that I often keep it to myself. Any ideas how to handle that? 
 Let’s do this! Good times followed by even more   good times 
 GM. Rich or wealthy? I know I prefer the latter 
 How much in your identity is your country?

If you’re from X and someone says “fuck X, it’s... 
 Not any longer. I used to believe the story that I should feel triggered but this went away in the past 3 years. For good.
Let‘s build new countries in spaces far off the borders that never existed in the first place 
 Trying hard to connect my lightning wallet to Damus via umbrel. Seemingly a not too hard task, not for me though… 
But I am learning heaps in the process 😅 
 Nice. That was easy. Cheers! 
 I am not using alby so far and used wallet connect on umbrel instead.
Next up: understanding lightning channels and how to use them 😅 
 I'm not ill, but I am curious about one thing...

 Pondering on how to up my GM-game

 My distilled favorite: water and green tea in the morning. Whenever I get hungry (usually around 11)I have basic muesli with yogurt and fruits, different seeds and honey. Doesn‘t get old, enjoying it every single day 

Got rid of caffein a few months ago. Was a big struggle but really worth it. Total game changer for me! 
 GM fellows 
 Danke @d11n für großartiges Engagement für diese/unsere Gesellschaft
