 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡 
 Good fucking morning 
 GOOD MORNING NOSTR 🫡

BITCOIN ADOPTION IS EFFECTIVELY A SHORT SQUEEZE ON THE ENTIRE GLOBAL FIN... 
 MORNING GOV'NR 
 THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF TWITTER ARE OVER.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF NOSTR ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. 
 Welp, good morning to you too!  
 I love my life  
 As an expat / nomad, I'm part of #Bali's change and part of the problem. So I try to minimize my impact by:
- supporting small businesses from locals 
- learning the language
- respecting religious places and rituals
- being mindful about my ecological footprint 
- living together with a local

What else can I do?  
 #Bali has changed. It isn't the same as when I first visited in 2009. On the other hand, I can't find a place in Asia that ticks all the same boxes:
- Awesome, kind, friendly people
- Affordable 
- GREAT food for all budgets and tastes
- Beaches with waves for #surfing
- Mountains and volcanoes for #hiking 
- Cultural & Spiritual heritage
- Diving, fishing and other marine activities

 
 I see a lot of posts about Gaza and Palestine on my social media, and it makes me feel guilty. I do keep up with the news and care about what's happening, but I don't feel the urge to share about this specific issue. Aren't there so many other injustices in the world? The root causes of these problems seem more complex.

How can I help people understand that fixing the money, might be the key to fixing the world, without sounding preachy? 
 There area couple of crypto communities on #Bali. Should I visit them or will it just be a cringe collection of degenerates?  
 Back in Indonesia! Where I learned to love again.  
 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡 
 Good morning to you too 😘 
 Why is #Vietnam compared to other #ASEAN countries so goddamn cheap?  
 After spending almost 6 months in Indonesia, #Vietnam feels like a refreshing breeze. The work ethic, speed & service is all around a stark contrast with Indo. Maybe it's just #HCMC?  
 Back in Vietnam! 
It's amazing
