 As much as they tell you the opposite, ever Bitcoin HODLer has a price at which they would sell 
 I'd never sell it all unless I'd also lost conviction in its future.

There are price points where I'd trade some sats for the things I desire. There are prices where I think I'd rather have a little more fiat than I currently have (near zero right now).

It was when I realised that I didn't want to sell it all that I actually went all in (except for the family home).

I just prefer to hold Bitcoin than any other form of value.  
 New truth: investing time & money into a Nostr audience is worth it for true leverage in the phys... 
 Even if you make money as a YouTube or ticktock influencer, it makes sense to maintain a nostr presence.

If you're ever cancelled, your fans can still find you & your content.

It's a bit like Bitcoin in that you need it before the SHTF. 
 Sometimes that voice is purely your mind/ego & sometimes that voice is coming from your higher self, the greater you. Your higher self only speaks with love & neutrality. The greater you has no fear & only wants expansion/ growth, to experience the all that is.

On some level you are everything & everyone. To draw an imaginary line & say this me & that is not, is inaccurate.

You are more than your mind. 
 Now she just fucking with you.

 It's Saturday the 14th here & I had no idea about yesterday's numerical significance.

Good luck surviving it 🤣 
 The future is coming fast.

Happy Friday! 
 No shit - it's already Saturday here 🤣

 Oh wow - you were holding Eth?

Glad you found out why that's not such a good idea for maintaining your purchasing power.

Focus on the signal & ignore the noise 🤙 
 is there a #nostr based todo list app yet? 
 Lol - it does something with lists & it's pretty new/unrefined.

No idea beyond that. I use obsidian for my lists & have no need to share them with others.

Use a browser plugin to sign in to it. 
 My bt/nostr bros understand and appreciate me better than basically everyone besides my mom loll.... 
 I'm so ready for it to start ripping 🤣 
 Yeah same. I learned a lot by going through that & probably have more Sats for it. It kinda sucked to live through it but it feels like we're almost on the other side now.

I'm firmly in the camp of it doing the opposite this cycle & blowing away the diminishing returns bullshit & power law fan boys.

In the end all that will matter is what you did & not what you said.

I inoculated this garden bed with wine cap mushroom spawn.

No idea who these guys are but they're not wine caps. Black spores under the cap & they're very fragile.

https://i.nostr.build/BrxZLSK9zTBYyZS2.jpg 
 Seems to fit. They're already degrading only an hour later.

https://i.nostr.build/sOv8kshxA4I31sAD.jpg 
 Only 20 mins later! 
 I'm really only confident in identifying oysters & wood ear mushrooms growing wild. I'm still learning & not starving, so playing it safe. 🤣

I'm hoping to see wine caps around March. They're very distinctive & easy to identify.

There's a cubic meter of hardwood chip on the bed so it should be interesting. 
 I've had so many contaminated blocks & bags of grain. It's so much harder than I expected.

Fruiting is my biggest issue. I don't have the space to have a fruiting tent to control the humidity, air flow & fungus gnats. I'm thinking my best bet is to leverage my outdoor spaces & accept that I can't control nature. 
 Night mate 🤣 
 What ever happened to nostr:npub1x458tl7h9xcxa66vr4a8pg0h2qz96pnhwnfpcra0le9090uk5t5qw7armt ? 
 I think he smoke bombed because his nym became too popular. 
 While I have a big orchard (about 50 trees) I haven’t had a large garden in the last few years.... 
 Grow what you buy/use & what grows well where you live. Fighting against nature is silly.

I got rid of my chooks because the dog kept breaking in to get the scraps & then they'd get out & make a huge mess. My only regret was not getting rid of them sooner. I don't love eggs or chicken.

I need to clear 3/4 of an acre from rocks & scrub before I can get some goats. Feeling like I want to fatten some pigs first though. I feel like eventually trusted Bitcoiners will immerge to farm sit so that you can travel.  
 I remember seeing these big butt bumble bees from you a while back.

So cute! 
 If you die in the simulation do you die in the real world? 
 Nope.

That's why you have nothing to fear.

You're an eternal being having an experience of what it's like to be mortal. Feels pretty real huh? 
 I think we remember what we need to remember & only when we're ready.

I think we are each running our own simulation of our own creation that conforms to the rules of this realm.

I think the first level is one in which you believe you are the avatar. This is the only level most NPCs experience. Everything is happening to them & it scares the shit out of them.

Level 2 is awareness that you'are also the player experiencing this realm, through the avatar. You're still experiencing it all through the avatar but you know the avatar is not the greater you.

Level 3 is where you get to actively choose how things play out. In essence you've found out how to adjust the variables that the simulation is running on.

I don't think playing level 3 is necessarily better than level 2. God mode tends to take the fun out if any game. 
 Very similar to myself.

Level 3 strokes my ego which tends to kick me back down for a while.

Sometimes I simply forget who I am & go back to playing on level 1.

I enjoy experiencing level 2 the most. 
 There be no seed oils in cream cheese man. 
 Yeah vegetable gums are pretty shit.

That is one of the reasons I don't buy mass produced ice cream.

I actually don't have any cream cheese block handy to look at the label.

 
 I essentially have everything I have ever worked for “in” bitcoin.  What are your thoughts on... 
 That you've come to the same logical conclusion that I did.

I think it will work out quite well for you. 
 Bitcoin on company balance sheets seems to be all the rage.

 If you could leverage business loans to acquire Bitcoin that would be a compelling reason.

I think the owning & running of the company itself would need to provide value to you. That's the only reason I'd leave substantial amount of equity in it.

 Have you tried looking within for guidance rather than comparing yourself to others?

What does Big Sean want? 
 I don't think you can have too much of any of these. 
 I have avoided my instincts TWICE this week and TWICE I’ve been screwed. 

LISTEN TO YOURSELF 
 The more you let go your fears & fill your heart with love, the clearer your higher self will communicate with you.

Why don't you trust yourself?

Some gotta touch it more than once.

 Cuts, cuts, cuts. MSM talking rate cuts. Pamp soon. 
 We've been waiting for it for too long!

I've a feeling they're going to cut too late & too little. They're going to have to break stuff to justify the level of printing that's coming.

 I let go a few that were being targeted by the reply bots.

I'm seeing very few of those relies now but I don't know if they're still hitting every note like they were.

 I think the opportunity cost for spending now versus in 2 months is pretty high. I feel like Bitcoin is getting real close to going on a little price discovery run.

The 'problem' as you kind of allude to, is that Bitcoin will go up forever. At some point you have to start enjoying your savings.

In talking to Bitcoin merchants, Bitcoiners aren't buying anything right now except for bit axes. Everyone is hodling like we're in the depths of a bear market. 
 Intrinsic value is a psyop.

Nothing has intrinsic value.. it's all on you. 
 Value is subjective, anyone who tells you otherwise is in for a shock. 
 I'm kinda loving how the friction of getting on Nostr keeps out lazy people.

 I love that I have to explicitly determine who's notes I see.

Other than boosts from people I follow, I see only content I've chosen to see. No algorithms is beautiful.

It shows just how important it is to get the incentives right. 
 Technical nostr question: How come when I make a note Amethyst asks me to sign an event deletion. 
 I'd assume it's the draft note. 
 Amethyst creates an encrypted event if you close the note before hitting post. It's only visible to you.

You can view the drafts in the main menu - tap your profile pic 
 Yeah i'm not sure when the draft note is created & posted.

It sounds like you're using Amber - I'm pretty sure there's a specific permission you can revoke for signing/creating drafts.

Might be worth revoking it & seeing if the delete is still triggered. 
 Some days I'll grab the cast iron skillet.

I don't love trying to BBQ in the rain.

 Yeah I'm not sure what it is. I've seen a few folks in my meatspace circles buy some but not many.

I guess it seems too good to be true.
