 What is the path forward when it comes to medicine?

Health issues can be genuinely terrifying and not being able to trust professionals to give you the objective truth only adds to that. 

Bitcoin is building an alternative financial world in parallel with what already exists. How do we build a parallel medical world that offers the same trustless, verifiable approach?

 Wow thanks so much for the support Latrica! 🙏🏼❤️ 
 The crypto gaming space fascinates me. I’ve been asking myself how Bitcoin could meaningfully enter the space. 

Instead of earning worthless tokens printed out of thin air, earning BTC and orange-pilling a gigantic industry into hard money seems like a worthwhile pursuit. 

Is anybody working on this? 
 Awesome, will check it out 🙏🏼 
 30 for me, not bad

Although there are things in there I don’t ever want to do so…

 The initial response to uploading a single track to @wavlake is still boggling my mind a bit. 

I’m incredibly humbled and grateful, but I’m also curious. 

I think I’ve gone through most of the documentation on the site and I’m still confused as to how this actually works. Can anyone explain like I’m 5?

I primarily am trying to learn so I can become part of the economy here as a listener as well, not just an artist. I find this whole intersection of art/media and bitcoin so fascinatingly bullish. 

#music #nostr #bitcoin 
 Thx for sharing and the support 🙏🏼 Excited for this paradigm shift! 
 I gotta give a shout out to @Brian. Hadn’t heard about it until he mentioned it in a reply. Still learning this whole space but excited for the future Bitcoin ecosystem! 
 Full review for The Wild Robot:

I had a chance to watch The Wild Robot this weekend and short version of the review is this:

You should watch it.

If you watched the trailers you may have certain expectations and preconceived notions based on other animated films with similar premises - and you'd be right to have those. The film does a great job subverting those expectations, not for the sake of subversion but because it actually has a lot more depth to it. I went in thinking the movie would have a straightforward plot and found myself pleasantly confused about where things were going within the first 20 minutes.

The plot has a lot of heart, and the themes it touches on came as a huge surprise. Death was quite a big one, which I've heard is in line with the book this story is based on. But this is nature and the circle of life after all, just not dumbed down which as an adult I appreciate even more.

There is also a huge focus on being a parent and what that means. It could have come off as cliché but there is an innocent approach from an AI that is still learning to navigate it's way around the world which I found fascinating. It didn't fall into the same tropes, and some of the darker themes actually hit home when thinking about the relationships I have within my own family.

The voice acting is incredible as well. I couldn't even recognize the main actors if I hadn't known ahead of time and found myself settled into the movie thinking about the characters themselves and not the people behind the voices.

The score was phenomenal and there were several montages where music and picture were in perfect harmony. The way these moments blended within each other gave an extra emphasis on the story being told in that moment and I walked out of the theater still thinking about them.

It's rare that an animated film can have such a profound impact on me. Maybe I wasn't expecting it. Or maybe the movie is just that good.

You should watch it.

 The Wild Robot was awesome. 

You should watch it. 
 Yesterday I helped someone in Lebanon to download and install a Bitcoin wallet. I was in the USA.... 
 Freedom money - don’t need any other definition. Appreciate your efforts. 
 So now we know that 1 action = 1 picture 
 So after uploading my track to @wavlake yesterday I woke up to a couple hundred sats sent to me. 

Wow. 

I don’t even know who is listening, but thank you! 🙏🏼 

I understand we’re still in the early stages of the shift but it’s fascinating to see. I guess my only request for now is figuring out how to further connect and deepen relationships with listeners. 

We’ll get there though, I’m confident.

 I used to believe in extending politeness to everyone. 

Covid broke me of that. 
 Nah hard disagree. Extend politeness until they give you a reason not to. Then it’s fair game. 
 I believe we’re saying the same thing 👍🏻

 Someone asked me how fast I can type and I had no idea so I took one of those online tests.

How does that stack up? 
 Hey Nostr #music fam!

I just uploaded my most recent single ‘By Your Side’ to @wavlake!

It’s my first upload and most certainly not my last - I’m excited to forward in this new Bitcoin based model. 

Would appreciate you checking it out when you get a chance! 🙏🏼

 Fantastic chat as always. I’ll be listening closely to when you think the market turns as I feel your calls have been spot on. 
 Pro tip: Never confuse venture capital backing with long-term value. 
 Such a key point. This is literally the entire crypto space. 
 Ngl - the VP debate seemed way more “presidential” than the presidential debate 😂 
 Alright #nostrmusic - I’m gonna figure out @wavlake tomorrow. I’ve also started a podcast recently and will check out @fountain_app for that. 

I wanna start building in the new world, wish me luck! 🙏🏼 
 Is there a list of Bitcoin ETFs that have shared proof of reserves? 

Those are the only ones I will suggest when normie friends start asking which one to choose.

 I haven’t seen much discussion on the @saifedean and @saylor chat here in #nostr. I could also not be looking in the right places. 

The takes I’m seeing on X are by a bunch of accounts that seem to engagement farm and pick a side rather than giving an objective breakdown. 

I thought it was a good discussion but I’m also not well versed enough to know what I don’t know.

 Someone seems to have put bull crab back in the box 😂 

That being said, after last bull run nothing would surprise me anymore - even returning to these levels in the bear if things get really bad. 
 Saw this graphic floating around on X and while there are a number of factors that play into this, at the root you can see how a broken monetary system is the most significant 

I know it’s a meme, but #bitcoin really does fix this.

 Know your time balance would also make you focus on your health. Everybody thinks they have forever but if you could see the impact of the health, fitness, and nutritional choices you make every day - people would act very differently.

 This is making me want to leave X and other socials entirely the more I see it. I’d rather focus on Nostr and other decentralized platforms. 

Making the jump as a smaller creator is tough though. You trade potential discovery of a wide audience for some peace of mind. Worth it I’m sure, but a struggle nonetheless.
