In a world often consumed by self-promotion and boasting, the concept of humility stands as a beacon of authenticity and self-awareness. I once likened the act of praising oneself to that of a donkey praising its own tail—a humorous analogy that carries a profound message about the virtue of humility. However, amidst the quiet humility lies a crucial aspect of personal growth—acknowledging and celebrating our past achievements.

Former Navy Seal and ultramarathon runner David Goggins calls this the "COOKIE JAR". The COOKIER JAR is a method to dig deep, remember how you got through your struggles in the past and seek motivation from them to push forward. This approach involves recalling past triumphs to fuel present efforts—a reminder that we are capable of overcoming obstacles, no matter how daunting they may seem. Reflecting on my journey thus far, I am reminded of the countless times I've pushed past my limits and emerged stronger on the other side.

In my journey through the art of Jiu-Jitsu, humility has been both my guiding principle and my source of inspiration. During my early days in Jiu-Jitsu, I used to finish work at midnight get home and practise my forward rolls, backward rolls and hip-escapes. These moments of dedication, though seemingly mundane, have laid the foundation for my progress on the mats. Additionally, after finding out that I can not skip or do cartwheels, I spend early mornings practising them. Each small victory has been a testament to resilience and determination and a reminder to push forward for the next objective.

I also applied this mentality along with not fearing being judged to Podcasting
Yet, like any journey, mine has not been without its challenges. One such obstacle that currently looms before me is the issue of hip flexibility. As I strive to expand my range of motion and achieve a split within the next three months, I am confronted with both physical limitations and mental barriers. However, I refuse to let these obstacles deter me from my goal. Instead, I see them as opportunities for growth and transformation.

In the words of author Ryan Holiday, "The obstacle is the path." Each challenge we face is not merely a roadblock but a stepping stone on the path to self-improvement. By embracing the struggles inherent in the pursuit of excellence, we cultivate resilience and fortitude—qualities that extend far beyond the confines of the Jiu-Jitsu mat.

As I press onwards with determination and perseverance, I am reminded of the importance of humility in the face of success. While it is essential to celebrate our achievements, it is equally important to remain grounded and humble. In a world that often values self-promotion over authenticity, humility serves as a reminder of our humanity and our interconnectedness.

In conclusion, my journey in Jiu-Jitsu and Podcasting has been defined by a delicate balance of humility and self-celebration. By acknowledging our past achievements and embracing the challenges that lie ahead, we can continue to grow and evolve as better individuals. And so, let's step forward with gratitude for how far we've come and embrace the journey that lies ahead.

*"Remind yourself what you've been through and what you've had the strength to endure." - Marcus Aurelius

This time I dove into Adler's Wisdom: Explore how Separation of Tasks untangles life's puzzles, empowering independence and collaboration. Just as Alexander's sword sliced through the Gordian Knot, this principle offers clarity in chaos

![image](https://i.nostr.build/dwDOP.webp)

Life is a maze of responsibilities, relationships, and challenges. At times, it feels like we're entangled in a Gordian Knot, struggling to find a way out. In the midst of this chaos, understanding Alfred Adler's concept of Separation of Tasks can offer a guiding light, helping us navigate through the complexities of daily life.

Alfred Adler, a renowned psychologist and founder of individual psychology, proposed the idea of the Separation of Tasks as a fundamental principle in maintaining healthy relationships and personal growth. At its core, Separation of Tasks emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between what belongs to us and what belongs to others, thus fostering independence, cooperation, and mutual respect.

Imagine facing the legendary Gordian Knot, a symbol of an intricate problem seemingly impossible to solve. In ancient times, it was said that whoever could unravel the knot would rule Asia. Many tried and failed until Alexander the Great famously sliced through it with his sword, demonstrating a bold and decisive approach.

Similarly, in our daily lives, we encounter metaphorical Gordian Knots—complex issues and conflicts that seem insurmountable. Adler's Separation of Tasks encourages us to approach these challenges with clarity and discernment. It prompts us to identify what aspects of the problem are within our control and what lies beyond our sphere of influence.

Consider the phrase "not my circus, not my monkeys." It encapsulates the essence of the Separation of Tasks, reminding us to refrain from meddling in matters that do not directly concern us. Just as we wouldn't intervene in someone else's circus performance, we should resist the urge to micromanage or take responsibility for others' problems.

Take, for instance, a scenario where a busy mother habitually ties her child's shoes, not allowing the child to learn the skill independently. While the mother's intentions may be rooted in love and concern, her actions hinder the child's development of autonomy and self-reliance. By recognizing that tying the child's shoes is not her task but rather the child's, the mother can empower her child to learn and grow through trial and error.

Adler's Separation of Tasks also extends to interpersonal relationships, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and respecting the autonomy of others. Just as Alexander the Great tackled the Gordian Knot with assertiveness, we too can confront life's challenges with a clear understanding of our roles and responsibilities.

In conclusion, Alfred Adler's Separation of Tasks offers a valuable framework for navigating the complexities of life. By discerning our responsibilities from those of others, we can foster independence, cooperation, and personal growth. So the next time you encounter a Gordian Knot in your life, remember to untangle it with clarity, assertiveness, and a keen understanding of your tasks and boundaries.

Finally will leave you with the famous Serenity Prayer which is associated with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

> "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."

Untangling Life's Knots: Understanding Alfred Adler's Separation of Tasks

Alfred Adler's Separation of Tasks concept helps us navigate life by discerning our responsibilities from others'. Like Alexander the Great cutting the Gordian Knot, it encourages clarity and assertiveness. By respecting boundaries, we can tackle challenges effectively, as echoed in the Serenity Prayer's wisdom.

In today's world, where self-promotion appears to be the standard, there exists a subtle charm in modesty. As a child, I frequently encountered the expression, "Only a donkey praises their tail." its significance has remained with me throughout my life. It serves as a reminder that authentic excellence does not require shouting from the rooftops; instead, it manifests itself in actions, not words.

Allow me to now introduce Alfred Adler, a pioneer in the field of psychology. Born in Vienna in 1870, Adler's theories challenged the prevailing views of his time, particularly Sigmund Freud's emphasis on the unconscious mind. Adler proposed individual psychology, focusing on the unique experiences and perceptions that shape each person's worldview. Central to his theories was the concept of the "inferiority complex" and its counterpart, the "superiority complex," shedding light on how individuals grapple with feelings of inadequacy and superiority.

**Inferiority complex**

The "inferiority complex" describes persistent feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, stemming from early experiences. Individuals afflicted with this complex often seek validation and may engage in compensatory behaviors. Therapy and self-reflection are key to addressing and overcoming these feelings, fostering healthier self-esteem and confidence.

An example of an inferiority complex might be a person who, from a young age, consistently felt overshadowed by their siblings' achievements and talents. Despite their own unique abilities and successes, they internalize a belief that they are inherently inferior to others. This belief could manifest in various ways throughout their life, such as constantly seeking approval from others, feeling anxious or inadequate in social situations, or striving excessively for success in an attempt to prove their worth.

**Superiority Complex**

Conversely, the "superiority complex" manifests as an exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement. Individuals with this complex may exhibit arrogance and lack empathy towards others, struggling with meaningful relationships and criticism.

An example of a superiority complex could be seen in a person who consistently belittles others and insists on being the center of attention in social settings. They might boast about their achievements, talents, or possessions in an attempt to assert their superiority over those around them.

Back to the childhood phrase "Only a donkey brags praises their tail."
Returning to the childhood adage  "Only a donkey brags praises their tail,”  modesty and humility are often misconstrued as weakness or a lack of self-confidence. Nevertheless, it is far from that. It entails possessing a realistic view of oneself and comprehending that one's value should not rely solely on external validation or praise. Instead, it's found in the genuine connections we make with others and the positive impact we have on the world around us.

By abstaining from boasting about ourselves, we provide room for others to shine. It is not about denigrating our accomplishments or pretending to be less than we are. On the contrary, it involves acknowledging our abilities without feeling compelled to advertise them to the public continually. Therein lies the elegance of allowing our actions to speak louder than our words.

Moreover, humility allows for personal growth and learning. When we're humble, we're open to feedback and constructive criticism. Instead of becoming defensive or dismissive, we approach each opportunity for improvement with an open mind and a willingness to learn. This mindset not only helps us develop professionally but also fosters a sense of humility and gratitude for the knowledge and experiences that others bring to the table.

Humility enables personal development and learning. When we're not constantly focused on ourselves, we become more attuned to the needs and experiences of those around us. We listen more intently, offer support more readily, and celebrate the successes of others with genuine enthusiasm. In doing so, we cultivate deeper connections and create a more inclusive and supportive community.

In a society that often glorifies self-promotion and individualism, it can be challenging to embrace humility fully. However, it's a quality worth cultivating, both personally and professionally. By focusing on what we can contribute rather than what we can gain, we create a more harmonious and compassionate world.
Hence, should you ever find the urge to trumpet your achievements or magnify your ego, pause to reflect on the timeless wisdom encapsulated in the age-old adage: "Only a donkey praises their tail," alongside the profound insights of the Austrian psychiatrist's psychological framework. Instead of trying to prove yourself with words, show who you are through your actions. Embrace humility, which means being modest and not bragging. True greatness isn't about loudly boasting about your good qualities. It's about having inner strength and making a positive impact on the people around you.

> Lastly as the Great Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius said, "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."

Humility: Only a donkey praises their tail

I delve into the significance of humility within a society that frequently prioritizes self-promotion. I examine Alfred Adler's theories concerning inferiority and superiority complexes, shedding light on the importance of cultivating genuine self-esteem and fostering authentic connections. The childhood saying "Only a donkey praises their tail" beautifully underscores the elegance of demonstrating one's worth through actions rather than mere words. I advocate for embracing humility and actively contributing to our communities, drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius' philosophy.

Explore how a small sticker sparked a belief in word-of-mouth marketing's power, emphasizing genuine recommendations and acknowledgment in personal and professional life.

As a child, I vividly remember sitting in the waiting room of my dentist's office, eagerly flipping through old magazines while waiting for my appointment. Unlike today's waiting rooms filled with people glued to their smartphones, back then, I had nothing but the posters, banners, and flyers adorning the walls for entertainment. Amongst the myriad of messages vying for attention, one tiny sticker stood out to me. It read,

> "If you're satisfied, tell others. If not, tell us."

At the time, I didn't fully grasp the significance of that simple message. Yet, little did I know, it planted a seed in my mind that would grow and influence my personal and professional beliefs for years to come.

Reflecting on that moment now, I realize the profound impact it had on me. It instilled in me a belief in the power of word-of-mouth marketing. While flashy advertisements and elaborate marketing campaigns have their place, there's something inherently powerful about the genuine recommendation of a satisfied customer. It speaks volumes about the quality of a product or service and carries far more weight than any paid advertisement ever could.

Moreover, that sticker taught me the importance of giving credit where credit is due. In a world where criticism often takes center stage, it's easy to overlook the positive and fail to express gratitude for exceptional experiences. Yet, acknowledging and appreciating excellence not only fosters a culture of positivity but also encourages continued excellence in the future.

In both my personal and professional life, I've made it a point to uphold these principles. Whether it's recommending a favorite restaurant to a friend or praising a colleague for a job well done, I strive to be a vocal advocate for the things and people that deserve recognition.

As I've navigated through various industries and encountered countless products and services, I've witnessed firsthand the influence of word-of-mouth marketing. Time and time again, I've seen businesses thrive not because of their flashy advertisements, but because of the glowing recommendations of satisfied customers.

So, I encourage you, dear reader, to heed the wisdom of that tiny sticker from my dentist's waiting room. Take a moment to recognize and appreciate the positive experiences in your life, and don't hesitate to share them with others. Whether it's a small gesture of thanks or a glowing recommendation, your words have the power to shape perceptions and influence decisions far beyond what any marketing campaign could achieve. Remember, in a world inundated with noise, genuine praise and heartfelt recommendations will always resonate loudest.

The Power of a Tiny Sticker: "If you're satisfied, tell others. If not, tell us."

Discover the profound influence of a small sticker in a dentist's waiting room and how it shaped a belief in the potency of word-of-mouth marketing. Join the journey of recognizing the importance of genuine recommendations and giving credit where it's due in both personal and professional spheres

"The US government doesn't have nearly enough to pay for what it owes. It's made promises to everyone, from allies to retirees, that it simply can't keep. To hang on to power amidst that web of broken obligations, it is going to get nasty on a level beyond which most can really comprehend.

I appreciate, however, that we are starting to glimpse the endgame. When a bankrupt state collapses, it's like a black hole. It sucks everything it can into its gaping maw. Everything it can possibly seize, will be seized. Everything it can possibly print, will be printed.

All your assets become its assets.
All it takes...is all you got." - BALAJI S.

### Navigating Challenges and Rekindling Engagement

In the span of fourteen weeks dedicated to formulating these updates, my journey has been marked by a series of unexpected challenges and hurdles that, for a while, steered me away from the intricate work unfolding within the Bitcoin design community. Life's complexities demanded my attention, momentarily overshadowing the creative endeavors I had passionately invested in.

Amidst this temporary redirection, a lifeline has emerged through [Christoph Ono's](https://gbks.substack.com/) and [Mo's](https://mogashni.substack.com/) weekly newsletter. This consistent source of information has become more than just a conduit for updates; it has evolved into a beacon, a constant reminder of the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of the Bitcoin Design Community (BDC). By remaining connected through these newsletters, I've found solace and inspiration, keeping me motivated to navigate through the challenges and fostering a strong sense of community even during times of personal or professional detours.

Despite the brief hiatus, my commitment to the BDC remains unwavering. As I navigate the ebb and flow of life's demands, I anticipate a swift return to the heart of my UX/UI design course. Furthermore, I am eager to rekindle my active involvement in the community's ongoing initiatives. The challenges encountered along this journey have not diminished my enthusiasm; rather, they have fueled a renewed sense of purpose and determination to contribute meaningfully to the collaborative efforts within the Bitcoin design sphere.

In the spirit of resilience, I look forward to not only resuming my educational pursuits but also embracing the opportunities to participate wholeheartedly in the exciting developments and projects that continue to shape the vibrant landscape of the Bitcoin Design Community.

### Distractions and Debt: Navigating the Mind Virus Amidst Financial Realities

Over the past week, the predominant topic of conversation among my colleagues has revolved around the latest movie, illustrating the pervasive influence of what can be likened to a mind virus (a modern interpretation of "circuses and bread"). Remarkably, there appears to be a lack of awareness regarding the erosion of their financial assets (equivalent to time and energy) due to inflation. Rather than grappling with this pressing issue, they seamlessly transition from one distraction to another.

Consider this: the construction of the Pyramids dates back approximately 4000 years. If one were to earn $500,000 daily for four millennia, the cumulative wealth amassed would reach a staggering $730,000,000,000 (Seven hundred thirty billion). In stark contrast, the United States has incurred a debt exceeding $1.6 trillion in just the last few months since June. This stark contrast highlights a concerning disconnect between individual financial consciousness and broader economic realities.

### Navigating the Fiat Mines and Jiu-Jitsu Journey: A Striped Progression

Another hectic week in the fiat mines, and amidst the chaos, I successfully navigated my Jiu-Jitsu grading. To my pleasant surprise, I now proudly sport a four-stripe white belt, just a step away from ascending to the coveted blue belt status. For those unacquainted with the intricacies of Jiu-Jitsu and its belt system, progressing from white to blue is a significant milestone.

> “The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Belt System is a far stricter than in most other martial arts. It can take upwards of 10 years to achieve the black belt. As there are only a few belts, you will spend a long time on each one. Also, your progress will not be linear. You will spend weeks or months on plateaus before being rewarded with a jump in ability.” - The BJJ Belt System: From White to Black

With my newfound four stripes, I'm granted access to advanced classes, where the impending thrill lies in embracing the inevitable submissions and beatings in every session. Exciting times await on the Jiu-Jitsu mat!

### Live on Your Feet

Bitcoiners on Twitter assert, "I use Bitcoin and I am not a criminal," seemingly overlooking the reality of our time, where the line between legality and criminality is increasingly blurred. This sentiment resonates with Ayn Rand's observation:

"There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for me to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt."

In this context, the statement highlights the broader societal challenges where an abundance of laws, sometimes unclear or unenforceable, can inadvertently turn ordinary citizens into inadvertent lawbreakers.

Therefore this quote which is often attributed to Emiliano Zapata, a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution is relevant.

> “I’d rather die on my feet than live on knees”

Zapata was a revolutionary leader and advocate for agrarian rights in the early 20th century. While there's some debate about the exact phrasing of the quote and its origin, it is commonly associated with Zapata's commitment to freedom, dignity, and the pursuit of justice. The sentiment expressed in the quote reflects a preference for a life of courage and autonomy, even if it means facing significant challenges or risks.

### Podcast Published (same as last week)

In a recent podcast episode, I had the pleasure of conversing with Max, the host of the BitBuyBit podcast, the Pleb Miner show, and the driving force behind Ungovernable Misfits. Our discussion covered various intriguing topics, including Max's journey of discovering Bitcoin, his motivation behind starting the podcast, and the significance he places on privacy. Additionally, we delved into the realms of merchandising and explored his website, touching upon the complexities of Know Your Customer (KYC) in the realm of Bitcoin. The conversation took a fascinating turn towards "Pleb mining" and humorously addressed the concept of "fiat pigs with orange lipstick." Max provided insightful perspectives on these diverse subjects, making for a captivating and informative exchange.

Facebook reminded me of my post from 10 years ago

"Voting: choose the puppet on the left hand or the right hand"


> *"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." - Peter Drucker*

Over the past decade, my professional journey has been a tapestry woven with diverse experiences in both large and small companies, each offering unique insights into the dynamics of collaborative teamwork and individual ventures. This mosaic transcends organizational size, encompassing engagements with a diverse array of clients in both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) domains.

Throughout this odyssey, a salient lesson has crystallized—the profound impact of effective leadership on the organizational fabric. This insight has been ingrained in me through firsthand experiences. A leader's conduct serves as a template for the team, shaping the collective ethos and work culture. It has become evident that when a leader or manager is consistently preoccupied with their phone, the team tends to mirror similar behavior. Similarly, if a manager displays rudeness towards clients or stakeholders, these unfortunate habits tend to permeate through the team.

The impact of leadership transcends the issuance of directives; it becomes intrinsic to the organizational structure itself. A thoughtful and inspiring leader establishes the tone for a positive and productive work environment, cultivating a collective mindset that propels the team toward success. Conversely, a leader's shortcomings can inadvertently become mirrored in the team's dynamics, underscoring the pivotal role leadership plays in shaping the culture and efficacy of a workplace.

Real-world examples abound in organizations where leadership has either cultivated a thriving culture or allowed toxic behaviors to fester. Consider companies renowned for their positive work environments, such as Apple, which places a strong emphasis on innovation, collaboration, and the well-being of its employees.

On the flip side, instances of leadership failures leading to negative organizational cultures are unfortunately prevalent. The collapse of Enron serves as a stark example, where unethical leadership practices permeated the organization, resulting in a culture of deceit, financial malpractice, and eventual downfall.

These cases underscore how leadership profoundly influences organizational culture and emphasize the crucial need to cultivate effective leadership for a positive and sustainable work environment."

    “Make sure you’re not made ‘Emperor,’ avoid that imperial stain. It can happen to you, so keep yourself simple, good, pure, saintly, plain, a friend of justice, god-fearing, gracious, affectionate, and strong for your proper work.”
    ― Marcus Aurelius

### Embracing Chaos

Enduring a hectic schedule of six days dedicated to both work and rigorous jiu-jitsu sessions, with minimal sleep, I successfully navigated the challenges while juggling multiple responsibilities. Following the advice of Jocko Willink, who emphasized the importance of not overthinking but rather embracing immediate action, proved to be a key guiding principle during this demanding period. Amidst the hustle, I seized the opportunity to learn from the legendary wrestler and MMA fighter Ben Askren, who imparted valuable insights, including a move humorously named "The Honeybadger." Other notable takeaways from the experience included the emphasis on building upon personal strengths and maintaining a forward-looking perspective rather than dwelling on the past. Notably, it was verified that Ben Askren aligns himself with the Bitcoin community, adding an interesting facet to the overall experience.

### Importance of FOSS

Read this brilliant article by Roy S. of Breez Wallet - [If It’s Not FOSS, It’s Not Bitcoin](https://medium.com/breez-technology/if-its-not-foss-it-s-not-bitcoin-9a6bc53182e5)

*TL;DR*
Imagine you're at a restaurant, and the food looks great, but your friend tells you the kitchen is dirty. The article compares this to the world of bitcoin and software, saying that the cleanliness (transparency) of the system's "stack" is crucial for trust. It suggests using open-source code (FOSS) to make everything transparent, especially in the money realm where trust can be a problem. Bitcoin was created to fix this issue by being decentralized and transparent. The article says for bitcoin companies to be trustworthy, their code should be open-source, letting users check and contribute. It also mentions benefits like resisting censorship and being more profitable. In the end, it argues that as bitcoin becomes more popular, following the principles of openness and freedom is vital for the whole system to succeed.

### Podcast Published

In a recent podcast episode, I had the pleasure of conversing with Max, the host of the BitBuyBit podcast, the Pleb Miner show, and the driving force behind Ungovernable Misfits. Our discussion covered various intriguing topics, including Max's journey of discovering Bitcoin, his motivation behind starting the podcast, and the significance he places on privacy. Additionally, we delved into the realms of merchandising and explored his website, touching upon the complexities of Know Your Customer (KYC) in the realm of Bitcoin. The conversation took a fascinating turn towards "Pleb mining" and humorously addressed the concept of "fiat pigs with orange lipstick." Max provided insightful perspectives on these diverse subjects, making for a captivating and informative exchange.

Bread and circuses

I was struck by the widespread enthusiasm and captivation surrounding the Cricket World Cup, especially the depth to which some individuals delved into spouting statistics about batsmen and bowlers. I couldn't help but wish that people were half as impassioned about understanding the inner workings of the world, particularly in the realm of finance. The way Central Banking seems to have turned us into unwitting slaves, all while maintaining the illusion of freedom, left me pondering. Perhaps if we dedicated similar fervor to tracking not only the taxes levied on our earnings but also those on our spending, and delved deeply into contemplating how advancements and improvements in production should realistically lead to a decrease in the cost of goods and services. However, the invisible tax of inflation often skews this reality, pushing prices upward.

In the office, the radio is a constant companion. My initial observation centred around the frequency with which the radio mentioned cricket in the days following the final match. However, what truly stood out was the relentless repetition of "BLACK FRIDAY." If I had earned a dollar for every mention of BLACK FRIDAY, I might have become a millionaire by now. It's worth noting that BLACK FRIDAY originated in the U.S., where it falls on the day after Thanksgiving.

Origins of Thanksgiving, in the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people joined together in a three-day feast to celebrate a successful harvest. This event is often considered one of the first instances of what would later become known as Thanksgiving. The participants gave thanks for the bountiful harvest and the support of the Native Americans who had taught them essential agricultural techniques.

It's astonishing how, right after a day dedicated to gratitude for what you have, we transition into the capitalist frenzy known as Black Friday.

### Song of the week
[The Undercover Hippy - "Eyes Wide Open"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIL-EnsokVc)

Here’s a section of the Lyrics from this song

“I keep repeating all these worthwhile new ideas I’m meeting
trying to see a future past the weekend
We sow these suicidal seeds
and yet our kids will do the reaping
Sold out a generation in the name of keeping it
cheap and cheerful
keep em fearful
hooked on credit, so they don’t regret it,
start forgetting what they’re here for
You’re here to service the machine
and as long as we keep spending they keep lending
just to keep alive the dream until this
whole murderous scheme just bursts at the seams
I hate to say it but it’s worse than it seems”

### Quote of the week
“Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits.
Say no to everything else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media
Relax. Victory is assured.” – Naval Ravikant

Pixel 8 Pro flashed w/ #GrapheneOS ✅

Here's how I'm going to set it up.

User Profile 1 (named "Owner"):
- Sandboxed Google Play installed.
- SIM card and eSIM enabled for dual number.
- All KYC/true name use.
- All content potentially accessible by the State via cable hacking (e.g. cellebrite.com).
- Google Maps in incognito.
- Banking apps.
- Sharing economy apps.
- All normie usage.
- Biometrics for convenience.

User Profile 2 (named "Guest"):
- No Google Play.
- Logged out when out of the house.
- Disk-encrypted ensures content is secure.
- "I forgot the password to that user."
- All Laser/NoKYC/nym usage.
- #Bitcoin watch only wallets.
- "Political" content (freetube/banned.video/etc).
- Anything against the "current thing".
- No biometrics; strong pin/pw only.

This basic setup allows for a secondary user profile which is logged out by default, providing full disk encryption and good plausible deniability / ability to say No.

The first profile can be yieled up if necesaary. This should provide a balanced setup to travel through NPC zones like airports, or deal with an increasingly technological police stops/searches.

If for some reason I have an urgent nym/nokyc need for google play, I can install into a work profile off of the secondary user profile. Note that each different user profile and work profile multiplies the maintainence cost (running fdroid, aurora, obtainium, etc for each isolated app space).

Few weeks ago, I embarked on a journey by launching a weekly newsletter through Substack. What spurred me to kickstart this newsletter was the concept of "working in public." This newsletter serves as a means for me to hold myself accountable. With the first two editions published, I have received some incredibly valuable feedback.
However, in alignment with the cyberpunk ethos, "information longs to be free," I now realize that it was unwise to confine it behind the walls of an "enter an email address" barrier. Consequently, I've chosen to share the same content, my Nostr long-form NIPs, and set this information free.
Nevertheless, Substack does provide a convenient platform for you to receive each week's newsletter directly in your inbox. If you find that appealing, please feel free to subscribe here: https://btchoneybadger.substack.com/

### The Grind
Another week in the fiat mines, but this time in a new location. The grind starts promptly at 6 am, with 10-hour shifts on the agenda. After the workday, there's a brief 1.5-hour downtime before diving into a 2-hour Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling class.

To break it down, my daily routine includes a mere 5-6 hours of sleep, 10 hours at the fiat mines, and 2 hours of physical training. Not to forget the 50 quick push-ups at 5:30 am, a prelude to the day's challenges, and a series of pull-ups at the conclusion of the Jiu-Jitsu/wrestling session. Surprisingly, I'm kinda digging this routine, a welcome change from the monotony I had endured for so long.

Sadly, the jam-packed schedule doesn't leave much room for leisurely reads or diving into podcasts. But hey, I'm crossing my fingers for a bit of downtime over the weekends to catch up on those.

And speaking of weekends, guess who signed up to hustle on the next two? Yours truly! Gotta make the most of the capitalist extravaganza – Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That means a solid 19-day work streak. On the bright side, I'm hoping to squeeze in some recordings today.

Now, if the workload decides to take it easy and slides back to a regular 8-hour day, I've got some exciting plans. That extra free time? It's earmarked for a deep dive into the world of UX and UI learning – a passion project I've been itching to tackle. Here's to levelling up my skills during those golden moments of downtime! Cheers to new routines and exciting learning adventures! 🚀✨

### Team Spirit

Lately, after my classes, I've added a new twist to my routine by throwing in some pull-ups. Surprisingly, it's sparked a friendly challenge among my teammates – we're not just doing pull-ups; we've also taken on the feat of pistol squats. Who would've thought that having training partners join in on the grind would be so motivating? It's amazing how a bit of friendly competition can turn a solo workout into a team effort, pushing us all to new fitness heights! 🤸♂

### Podcast Recorded

In a recent episode hosted by Max, the man behind the BitBuyBit podcast and the Pleb Miner show, as well as the driving force behind [Ungovernable Misfits](https://ungovernablemisfits.com/), we delved into a multifaceted conversation. Max shared insights into his journey of discovering Bitcoin, unraveling the motivations that propelled him to initiate his podcasts. The significance of privacy was a central theme, emphasizing the crucial role it plays. Additionally, the discussion touched upon Max's endeavors in merchandise and his website, providing a comprehensive view of his diverse interests. Topics ranged from the intricacies of KYC in Bitcoin transactions to the unique concept of Pleb mining, all the while addressing the intriguing notion of "fiat pigs with orange lipstick." The conversation showcased Max's expertise and passion to fight the good fight, making for an engaging exploration of various facets of the decentralized world. Tune in next week to catch this.

### Podcast Published

I recently published interview with the Steak approver Tbonehodl, our conversation delved into various intriguing topics. We explored the identity of TBone and the factors that enabled him to comprehend the complexities of Bitcoin. Additionally, TBone shared the story of how Bitcoin found its way into his life. The discussion extended to strategies for positioning oneself to benefit from a million-dollar Bitcoin, emphasizing the significance of digital privacy and cautioning against the vulnerabilities associated with exchanges being potential honeypots.  And as if that wasn't enough, we cracked the code on AI, indulged in some carnivore diet banter, and toasted to the power of community. Steak knives and bitcoin keys, my friends—this convo had it all!

### Reading and Listening

Spent time catching up on the Nostrasia event—excellent discussions! I've only covered Day 1 of the presentations, and a key takeaway is that Nostr is a protocol with vast untapped potential, currently explored at just 0.1%.

Also, checked out the Bolt.Fun Hackton—exciting developments there. I experimented with shopstr.store, showcasing a T-shirt and hoodie for sale. You can find them by visiting the site and filtering by location for Australia.

Additionally, read a compelling post by Ben Gunn titled "Remember, Remember the 5th of November." The article draws parallels between the Bitcoin movement and the Gunpowder Plot, emphasizing defiance against oppressive authorities. It cautions against blind trust in authority and stresses the need for vigilance against fair-weather allies.
The narrative highlights differences, pointing out that Bitcoin's disruption is non-violent, rooted in mathematics, and has a global scope.

### Personal Challenge

I've also rekindled my practice of UI-related tasks, opting to switch from Figma (Adobe-owned) to PenPot, an open-source alternative. Exploring merch design led me to experiment with various tools and functions.

In terms of my physical workouts, I've made significant progress. Most days, I can now achieve 21 pull-ups and perform 5 clean pistol squats on each leg. The next goal is to maintain this level of consistency.

### Back at the Fiat mines

This week I was back at the fiat mines, after nearly a year working in the bitcoin space. I just had a good dose of what normies talk about as either possessions or people.

Furthermore, this experience served as a poignant reminder that everyone, regardless of their individual pursuits or professional paths, carries their own cross. The commonplace discussions about possessions and people illuminated the shared humanity that unites us all. Amidst these seemingly ordinary conversations, it became apparent that the majority of individuals are simply striving to navigate life's complexities and to establish a sense of meaning in a capitalist world where time and money often seem devalued.

### Podcast Recorded

While toiling away at the fiat mines, I found solace in reconnecting with a like-minded friend AK. We explored the intricate dynamics of the Clown world, the nuances of fiat mining, the perpetuation of the blame game, the significance of adhering to rules rather than relying on rulers, the disturbing lack of personal responsibility, the growing concerns surrounding digital privacy, and the intriguing presence of Nostr. Amidst our discussions, we pondered the looming question: Is the Bull truly here?

### Podcast Published

Published my chat with Brian De Mint. Entrepreneur, Amazon Best Selling Author, and BJJ Black Belt. Also Head of Marketing for OrangePillApp

In the course of our conversation, we delved into a myriad of topics. We explored his personal journey in the realm of Bitcoin, uncovering tales from his time immersed in the world of cryptocurrency and reflecting on the unique teenage phase that often characterizes one's Bitcoin expedition. Additionally, we explored intriguing ventures such as the Orange Pill App and Bitcoin Got Talent. Beyond Bitcoin, we ventured into his written work, specifically his book titled "Bitcoin Evangelism." Our discussion then took a turn towards his martial arts journey, drawing parallels between the principles of Bitcoin and the discipline of Jiu-Jitsu. We delved into the concept of Jiu-Jitsu as the gentle art and concluded our conversation by shedding light on Brian's wellness business.

Aaron Swartz was a brilliant programmer, writer, and activist known for his contributions to the development of web technologies and his advocacy for open access to information. He co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification at the age of 14 and later became involved in various internet-related projects. Swartz was a co-founder of Reddit and played a key role in the development of the Creative Commons.

Unfortunately, Aaron Swartz's life was cut short when he tragically passed away in 2013 at the age of 26. His death was a significant loss to the tech and internet community, and he is remembered for his commitment to making information freely available to the public.

We've chosen to work in public, inviting you to join us on this journey. We'll candidly share experiences, tackle challenges, and reveal our strategies. Our unique love-hate dynamic adds depth and humor to our discussions.

Our goal is to inspire your own journey to sovereignty. We're eager to hear from you, our listeners, and welcome your feedback. Join us on this adventure of self-discovery and growth with "SoftFork."

### OpenSource Tools
I've recently found myself delving deeper into digital privacy and the concept of self-hosting. Just last week, I was faced with the challenge of selecting an open-source alternative to Notion for my note-taking and organization needs. After some testing, I explored options like AppFlowy and AnyType. While AppFlowy had its merits, I found it lacking in the database functionality that I rely on. AnyType, on the other hand, offered a more comprehensive feature set, and its API allowed me to successfully import most of my Notion pages and databases.

Although some pages didn't render perfectly, I could swiftly make the necessary edits to bring them up to par. As my next step, I'm planning to transition to AnyType for the next month and gradually phase out my content on Notion. This journey into digital privacy and self-hosting has been an intriguing one, and I'm excited to see how it enhances my productivity and data control in the long run.

In addition to this, I've made a significant shift in my daily computing routine by exclusively using Linux and bidding farewell to Windows. While this change did result in the loss of my previous Linux setup, it served as a valuable learning experience. I've taken it as a lesson learned and reminded myself to use tools like TimeShift in the future to ensure I can back up and restore from a previous system state smoothly.

### Reading and Listening

While delving deeper into content pertaining to self-hosting and Linux, I stumbled upon the work of Richard Stallman. Stallman is renowned for his substantial contributions to the advancement of free and open-source software, along with his passionate advocacy for software freedom. His unwavering commitment to the cause of software freedom has left an indelible mark on the open-source and free software movements. Stallman has also been an outspoken critic of proprietary software and digital rights restrictions. It's worth noting that he remains a polarizing and contentious figure, attracting both fervent supporters and vehement critics within the software industry and beyond.

I highly recommend watching his 2014 [Ted Talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM) to gain deeper insights into his ideas and beliefs.

In the course of my exploration, I also stumbled upon an intriguing revelation that might surprise you: Modern Art was allegedly utilized as a tool in a CIA psychological operation. To delve further into this fascinating topic, you can find more information here: "[Modern art was a CIA 'weapon'](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/modern-art-was-cia-weapon-1578808.html)".

Sex and race, because they are easy and visible differences, have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour on which this system still depends.

#[0]’s desire for more micro apps on nostr is critical.

We’re having fun with all the social clients being built right now, but the true power of this protocol comes with thousands of smaller ultilities coming together to build an ecosystem of valuable services. The seamlessness of switching between them will be the magic.

I think that’s where this becomes truly unique. Can’t wait to see more.

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.
