 The hardest hills are the ones most rewarding to persevere.

Being a good person is a practice that never ends.

 Happy Monday #Plebs! WIN SOME SATS TODAY! 👉👉👉 So many #EasterEggs and subtle references in Coded Shadows. (Like the Purple 🟣 and Orange 🟠 pills the main character is given by a nurse 👀💊)... 

Correctly identify at least 7 Easter Eggs in the 7 photos below to be ⚡️ZAPPED⚡️ AND BONUS ZAPS if you re-note this and add further context or connections to 3 of the Easter Eggs! I'll check in periodically throughput the day. [Let's learn and share together]

 As a public high school economics teacher this was excellent to read. The one size fits all "system" of 'education' is deeply flawed. [Most parents need it as day care while they're grinding at work to make fiat ends meet. (Bitcoin fixes this!)]

I literally just wrote about this last night...

My character Liam in Coded Shadows is #unschooled. 

👌⚡️🔥

 Good for you. Takes courage! If your kids at mid teens, they're ready for Coded Shadows. One of the protagonists (Liam, the UK Navy Brat) is #uncschooled. 
 Wow. That's inspiring to read. Takes courage to do. I'm working as an Economic teacher in the system and it's tough to be a part of at times.

I put everything into writing Coded Shadows, and I think it's badass... cool story for teens about 3 kids. One, Liam, is a Navy brat and is unschooled. If your kids like video games, skateboarding or are curious about fiannce/Bitcoin... ⚡️🔥⚡️ 
 Awesome. Warcraft (the original ones!) were a huge influence on Coded Shadows, the book I wrote. #ORCS

One main character, Liam is #unschooled too.

⚡️🔥⚡️ 
 The videos you sent were perfect 👌 takes a while to deconstruct the systems we're all indoctrinated into.

I used to think the system could be changed from the inside. Now I'm a bit wiser. It can only corse correct ever so slightly.

Was really cool to hear your perspective. 
 Hahaha. 😄

 I’m obsessed with tarot cards!

 🔥🔮❤️‍🔥 The major Arcana is 🔥 

🃏🃏🃏 
 🔥🔥🔥 Awesome! 
 Hey, thanks 🔮🔥! 

The Coded Shadows Tarot deck is purposely non traditional 🔮😈🔮...

And while sticking mostly to convention, takes a few unique departures.

Much like how the standard Tarot decks have evolved, the Coded Shadows deck incorporates a few unique symbols and new meanings, specific to the Coded Shadows adventure story that Liam, Alexis and Sophia embark on! (Orcish Spells, The Skeleton Queen, and The Vegvisir Amulet cards are some optional ones to add in if one desires!!! 🔮❤️‍🔥🔥)

The deck is 63 cards, with some minor Arcana *purposely* omitted, and some "remixed".

The spoiler alert for the 4 of wands, is that the number 4 is deeply unlucky in Coded Shadows, and so no "4" card depicts 4 of the items. The 4 of wands has 4 additional magic jewels to the wand's main jewel which ='s a total of 5.

 The lore, myth and history intertwined is as alluring as say, the mystery of Satoshi!

🔮

A game representation of power, mysticism, Empires and foutunes made and lost.

Seems like a lot of tribes of humans invented similar-ish card games with social hierarchies, power and represented material goods or elements.

I like the Jewish connection history you referenced as well! 🔮♾️🔥⚡️

 Imagine the 16 year old getting his first part time job, the 13 year old gamer wanting to sell her in-game skin designs, or the aunt/uncle/dad/mom who wants to make Bitcoin COOL for the teen in their life... 🤔💭

And it's badass.
