the more you're given
the more you have to give
mute your ego and serve
let others climb
let others celebrate
let others call you a fool
listen and serve
let them vilify you
let them misunderstand you
let them hide your contributions
it doesn't matter
let it go
let it happen
let it hurt
in the end it will all pass
you broke before
so many times
did you forget how you arrived here?
beyond pain and suffering
worrying about tomorrow
and how you will afford the future
for yourself and those you love
the more you're given
the more you have to give
serve

PS I got linked up with the Palestra/Age of light, bitcoin community, and met some special people. Jack Kruse is the man, he talked about how you helped him during old Twitter covid days. Very inspiring and can’t wait to see El Salvador 🇸🇻 evolve with that team.


We need Bruce Willy up on the enterprise, he could whip some borg ass, probably even Q’s


There are many draconial provisions in the upcoming #EU #AML Regulation both for cash and to p2p #bitcoin transactions (self-hosted wallets and use of mixers).

Some examples:

(33b) The introduction of a Union-wide limit to large cash payment mitigates the risks associated with the use of large cash payments. However, obliged entities that carry out transactions in cash below this amount remain vulnerable to risks of money laundering and terrorist financing as they provide a point of entry into the Union’s financial system. Therefore, it is necessary to require the application of customer due diligence measures to mitigate the risks of misuse of cash. To ensure that the measures are proportionate with the risks posed by transactions of a value lower than EUR 10 000, such measures should be limited to the identification and verification of the customer and the beneficial owner when carrying out occasional transactions in cash of at least EUR 3 000. This provision does not relieve the obliged entity from conducting all customer due diligence measures whenever there is a suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, or from reporting suspicious transactions to the FIU.

(93) The anonymity of crypto-assets exposes them to risks of misuse for criminal purposes. Anonymous crypto-asset ▌accounts as well as other anonymising instruments, do not allow the traceability of crypto-asset transfers, whilst also making it difficult to identify linked transactions that may raise suspicion or to apply to adequate level of customer due diligence. In order to ensure effective application of AML/CFT requirements to crypto-assets, it is necessary to prohibit the provision and the custody of anonymous crypto-asset ▌accounts or accounts allowing for the anonymisation or the increased obfuscation of transactions by crypto-asset service providers, including through anonymity-enhancing coins. The prohibition does not apply to providers of hardware and software or providers of self-hosted wallets insofar as they do not possess access to or control over those crypto-assets wallets.

As we were said by the EU Commission, “the ban on crypto-asset payments not intermediated by a crypto-asset service provider has not been retained given the absence of technical means of enforcing such a requirement at present”. But that exactly shows the direction of the regulatory approach.

This is a huge deterioration of financial and privacy rights after EU Commission and Council put pressure on the EU Parliament and removed all provisions in favor for individual rights, privacy and financial inclusion.

We need your support guys, before it is too late. Final vote on April 22nd.

Hey I’ve worked with them providing musicians that are my friend!


Day 3

I woke up this morning and didn't automatically reach for my phone and start scrolling through my twitter feed.

I didn't realize how much that consistently  affected my mood and mindset for the day.

This feels like breaking a severe sugar addiction.

Sometimes I still reach for my phone, searching for the app (now deleted).

Dopamine and outrage is the product.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.


Crushing burden? I think the point is to provide a better life than you had, not to obsess or put them on a pedestal. OMG crazy concept you want good for your family. People are opting out because western society is going to shit, like every part, so people don’t want to bring them into a world that sucks, is usually why my friends and I that don’t have them say.


Corrupt model 🙄 I don’t have kids or want them but this “edgy” take is extremely cold blooded. Thank god people like you don’t have kids
