 Close your eyes.  Can you smell it?

 10 year old me is very jealous. 
 As a child, sharpening pencils and making the points very long was a form of entertainment and exposition of skill. I don't think I ever made anything this beautiful. 
 tastes like sweet lemonade.  anytime know the name? 100 sats up for grabs

 it came from my property.  a mature tree over 30 years old.  
 Here they call it limón dulce or citrus limetta. I'm actually not sure is it's the same as the Persian sweet lemon, but the description is spot on! 
 Can you guess this fruit?

 Loquat 
 nice guess.  loquat or Japanese yellow plum. 
 The complicated aspect about the Social Security system in the United States is that it was false... 
 sounds exactly like an endorsement of state force. what we need is separation of money and state.  
 What do you do with the vetiver? 
 I planted about 6500 of them on my sloped property to protect against erosion.  I was just curious how you were using them.  I didn't know about water channels.  what purpose does it serve? strictly for erosion or are you using the water? 
 that's a great idea, better than concrete  
 1000 sats to whoever guesses what this is. be specific

 Negative!  
 Nope 
 True but not specific enough 
 Looks similar... but not it.   
 No 
 Not a citrus 
 Nope 
 That's half right.  
 Orange mangosteen 
 Costa Rica is so sick.  I spent the day getting a few new trees for the farm.  

Who knows about miracle fruit? What about mabolo? pitayas are loaded and ready to deliver to the farm in the morning!

 In n out is good, but I couldn't eat it every day.  I could eat whataburger every single day.   
 Elon is probably stressed out right now  
 Que pasó? 
 I can just image all of #xitter xitting their pants right now.
 
 Why? What did I miss? 
 850 fruit trees planted in the last 3 weeks.  it's hard to tell what you're seeing in the photo but they're space 5m apart and in straight lines that run across the slope.  next up, piñas, pitayas, and caña.

 I had a lot of help.  🙂

 Medical field is a joke 
 There's a difference between medicine and health.  If someone is a doctor of medicine I immediately know I can't trust them.   
 Sending dollars from Strike to the Speed wallet USDT as a taproot asset in half a second through ... 
 Same with sending dollars from Strike to @BitcoinJungle wallet and getting colones in seconds. Mind blowing really 
 Bought 130 dragonfruit plants today. AMA 
 I mean I guess that's a question. 😅🤣 
 Hopefully one day we can sell them, but for now it will just a be fruit farm on this slope. 
 They are about 50cm in length. These are mature cuttings, so they should fruit right away.  
 I will!  
 Hey, #android users!

Do you have a recommendation for a non-crappy ringtone app?

Zedge is ubiqu... 
 I was thinking about this the other day.  I remember using ringtone apps like zedge back in 2010 but completely lost interest in ringtone after switching to an iPhone for business in 2014. Is it common for people to have custom ringtones these days? my wife and I both use the stock ringers. 
 yeah that makes sense.  I got an android thy other day and it makes the same notif sound for everything lol 
 Yes lol 
 are we having fun yet 
 I maintain an FB account.  Just posted this there. With over 870 friends and family, I'm absolutely certain the engagement with the post will be abysmal, I'll report back sometime later in the week. 
 Interesting. How was it? 
 it happens! 
 loving it. car issues are the biggest complaint but quality of life is certainly better than any major metro in the US like my previous location.  5 min from some of the best beaches. excellent butcher nearby.  the rainy season hasn't really been as horrible as everyone made it out to be.  business is decent.  onward! 
 Can you take me lower? 
 😂 
 I took a few minutes this evening to set up the BitAxe I purchased at the bitcoin conference.

 Bro I was crying so hard when he said that. I laughed so hard. I could feel @ODELL turning beet red in the face. 
 Yes 
 Beautiful! Same for me... not much scrolling.  Farm progress comes first!! 
 What the fuck is monero? 
 don't be gay 
 I'm definitely retarded, but I DON'T SHITCOIN

 I don't even have fiat. gfy

 still got the tank running? 
 GM. PV. 7am on the mountain. Above the clouds. The farm is taking shape.  We are cutting brush and grass and have started building a nursery.  The winter is here in CR and it's time to plant.

 In the mountains between Quepos and Dominical  
 Yes! Thank you! Currently there are 50 cows on the property. They'll be moving off soon, but we will probably bring in some as well as goats, pigs and chickens. We are in desperate need of soil stabilization. So I'm planting vetiver and other plants with large root masses to help stabilize the slope. 
 that's interesting.  getting ahold of it might be tricky here.  I know they form huge networks. does it work well in the tropics and with thin topsoil? 
 yeah thanks for that info! I need to take a shovel and machete into the jungle and find it.  i have about 120 acres of secondary forest preserve that I haven't even seen due to access. I just need to take some time and go in there. I'm sure there are all sorts of goodies hiding in the shade of the trees.  
 I'll look into this for sure.  what part of the world are you in? 
 GM. PV. Here is a picture of a hidden bitcoin mine running on hydroelectric power in the middle of the jungle.  400 S19J Pro's. #brrrr

 At $250k BTC, I won't tell anyone how much I have, but there will be signs.
