“You only understand the value of freedom when you lose it” — that’s what we heard from a member of one of our pilot communities.

This phrase has stuck in our hearts and become one of the key values we hold on to. We are building for freedom and freedom should be for everyone.

Heart Vs Brain

I believe both are in same team.

Heart is King, Brain is prime minister and all other body parts are cavalry.

If heart is pure then it gives right orders to brain, if heart is evil then it gives evil orders.

Brain know only one thing - implementation by giving directions to body.

There is a thin communication line between the heart and brain.

You need consciousness to hear those talks between heart and brain.

and

If you excessively use brain then you become a machine, and social life gets hard for you.

If you excessively live with heart then you become a child (Weak king) then men's duty becomes hard for you.

and

Strong men know what to use according to the situation.

- A real man can slit a throat and hold a baby at the same day.

"If you are thinking about self then use brain if thinking about others use heart "

If you want change then you should know how to use brain and heart.

If you are using brain then you should know how to rule it, and if using heart should know the boundaries.

and

I love 2 quotes from Ibn al-Qayyim

1. “Your nafs (brain/ desires/ emotions) is just like your enemy, once it finds you serious, it obeys you.

If it finds weakness from you, it will take you as a prisoner.”

2. “There is a connection between the eyes and the heart — whatever one of them engages in, the other will engage in.

God knows best.

I'm still figuring out things.

‘Coincidental’ attack on Bitcoin?

https://stephanlivera.com/episode/568/


We tend to credit people like Saylor and Andreas Antonopoulos with driving bitcoin adoption, but what if the real catalysts are the Elizabeth Warrens and Christina LaGardes? That it’s not the evangelists that move the needle, but the people seeking control and massively overplaying their hands?

What if some long-sighted genius OG bitcoiners funded the rise of these people, helped get them put into positions of power knowing they would make the blunders that gave rise to mass adoption and the exodus from fiat slavery?

What if the current regime was put on earth to implode and make way for humanity’s greatest epoch and pathway to a Type 2 civilization? That a more humane and competent administration would be better able to take advantage of the totalitarian tools at its disposal, but these short-sighted craven imbeciles were just what we needed at this time in human history.

What if the OG bitcoiners who permitted this rise predated the inception of bitcoin. What if they predated the inception of humanity. What if it were God (or the Tao if you prefer) itself?

It did not change the system from within.

The biggest change in human history is the adoption of a decentralized system, like nature.

In nature there are hierarchical systems only on the tribe level. Truly successful systems like mushroom networks are decentralized. No boss or CEO.
Mushrooms are the oldest living organisms.


If privacy ever becomes illegal, I will be asking for free access to detailed financial audits of govnerments.
As they are so willing to follow our money, let's follow theirs and talk about what real money laundering is afterwards.


Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.


Every attack spurs devs to counter with better solutions. It’s what has got Bitcoin to where it is 15 years in and now a major threat to the corrupt legacy system. Exponentially rising !

While the dogs of war have yet again been let loose by state actors fuelled by easy money, others around the world — literally all around the world — are celebrating a different vision; one of hope, peace and putting power back in the hands of people. The #BitcoinHalving is an important event because of what it means for the onward march of #Bitcoin and #BTC as money with “rules, not rulers”…but it’s also an important moment and opportunity for us to come together around the world, as a species, under the banner of hope and abundance. Let’s dig in and make a better tomorrow a reality. #BitcoinNotWar

First halving, first epoch and I’ve had goosebumps all day long. What a journey. I have grown, saved and learned so much. DCA at the lows and the high. Worked my tail off. I’m proud of my lil stack and have hope for a brighter, decentralized future shaped by thoughtful, visionary, plebs with the foresight and gumption to build a better  way.

Money isn’t the root of all evil but our money is broken. People deserve a money that is as valuable and scarce as they are.

Thank you Satoshi Nakamkto.

Happy Halving!

Happy #BitcoinHalving and welcome to Epoch 5 of #Bitcoin. Let us re-commit to building a better world, one of opportunity and abundance for all, as we march forward toward the next halving at block 1,050,000 in the year 2028. One love! 🧡☮

This #BitcoinHalving holds immense significance as it propels Bitcoin to surpass gold as the most scarce monetary asset. With a stock-to-flow ratio expected to reach around 1%, Bitcoin's scarcity surpasses even that of gold.

This scarcity, combined with its digital nature and decentralized architecture, enhances its appeal as a store of value and hedge against inflation. As the supply dwindles, Bitcoin's value proposition strengthens, potentially attracting more investors and reshaping the global financial landscape.

Therefore, this halving marks a pivotal moment in Bitcoin's journey towards mainstream adoption and solidifies its position as a coveted asset in the digital age.


how is possible?


Logging in to other apps without e-mail. Creating a unique virtual identity to link to several systems.


The problem is intellectual laziness. Over the years, most social media apps were designed to keep users doing intellectually "easy" tasks. Eventually, they develop short attention span. That is why most people find Bitcoin and Nostr difficult to understand and use. If an app is good like Nostr, even though not "easy", they won't use it because their brains have been programmed to do "easy" tasks

I sell them at cost if you pay in #bitcoin or a few dollars more if you pay in #fiat.

I'm working on ramping up sales so I can do bigger production runs.


In another 15 years (the approximate age of #bitcoin now), the dated bitcoiners will be incalculably wealthy. The average bitcoiners of today will be extremely, incredibly wealthy. And the nocoiners will be adopting bitcoin and beginning to wrap their heads around this new, wonderful, profound economic reality we live in.

In the #fiat system, wealth is dilapidated through waste, theft and destruction.
In the absolute security of the #bitcoin system, wealth will grow so massively, for such a vast number of people. The bitcoin system has an infinite capacity for wealth growth and storage. This will affect all individuals and society as a whole in beneficial ways that we can't begin to comprehend.

Bitcoin helps me to appreciate and accept reality instead of trying to change it toward my preferences.

Fiat money deludes you into thinking you can change reality through politics.


The most freeing moment of your life is when you recognize that you'll never fit in with the elite, that they don't want you and that you'll never be good enough for them.

I came here for freedom money, not for financial gain. Over the past 12+ years I have watched Bitcoin 12000x vs USD, and it blows my mind every time this happens. Even after all these years. Maybe I still haven't accepting the reality of it all.

Many of us were told over and over that we were making a terrible decision, or that we were idiots for investing in "tulips." Ridiculed and laughed at constantly. Not just by strangers, but by family and friends.

They were wrong.

Not only did we make a good decision, we made one of the greatest decisions in recent history. We had the conviction, the nerve, and of course the autism, to do what we thought was right while everyone else doubted.

Many of us were freaks & weirdos for most of our lives. Let's be honest - most of us probably still are. But we're the weirdos with motherfucking conviction. We're the freaks willing to put it all on the line for a belief, because maybe there's still something worth hoping and fighting for in this clown world.

We were right.

You can stay humble while you stack sats tomorrow. Today you pat yourself on the back. You text your brother with an "I fucking told you so." You look at yourself in the mirror and smile at a motherfucking winner.


The state hates you and wants you to live in fear and terror so they can control your entire life. From cradle to grave the state demands being involved in every facet of life in order to create the greatest robbery that could ever be conceived: to rob you of your divinity and direct relationship with the divine to believe that you are nothing more than matter. Just another cog of flesh. They don’t want you to remember that you don’t need their permission or anyone else’s but your own. They don’t want you to remember the truth that you hold in your secret heart of heart that you’ve always know; but you’ve been brainwashed since birth to forget and suppress beyond all other forms of knowledge. That you are a divine empowered being who can change the world and need no one’s permission to do that.


Just because someone is wrong about something, doesn't make them a bad person. What matters more, when it comes to character, is if they're open to having their mind changed.

... and if you're not, in principle, open to having your mind changed, we're having a whole other conversation all together.

I would also suggest that people be preoccupied with this basic insight, because I might suggest it's actually the basis for civilization existing at all.

I want to #zap you 2,100 Sats!

Good morning #nostr! It has been about a month since I joined and I'm loving "Self-Soverign Social".

My challenge has been connecting with like minded folks, which is surprising because if we are both here on nostr we likley share at least an interest in decentralization and #bitcoin.

So I want to try a little experiment this morning. I have just under 500,000 sats or about $350 in my  nostr:npub1flm9yc3vhc3dj036pn3ysl5xwd4f5gyhyjnn9rzehs5mqe9y9ynq6qrg9q account, I want you to help me empty it!

Please follow me (if you are not already) and share this post and I'll zap you 2,100 sats until I run out or have to leave the office. It's about 8:45AM EDT, and I'll be zappin' until at least 3PM (or until I'm broke).

In theory this should yield about 235 paid engaugements, which will hopefully amplify my presance here and help me connect with some like minded folks.

Lets see how it works out, I'll share my results!

Good morning #Nostr

It is amazing to watch all those playing an advanced version of prisoners dilemma (believing they are winning the game inside a system but making outcomes worse for everyone - including themselves) being repriced by #Bitcoin.

A massive shift in the Nash equilibrium from “winning” the game at the expense of others as the dominant strategy, to “winning” the game by being in service  to others.

Thankful to be so early in this shift with all of you!

….and the implications still blow my mind every day.


Welcome to all those who have realized that there is no fixing a centralized system from within the centralized system.

Giving your energy to either side of issues within that framework only robs you of your time and energy.

It’s early here but it is the future!

The rise of Bitcoin and decentralized finance have the potential to diminish the wealth and power of financial middlemen. Hard money enables individuals to focus on working and saving, rather than complex investment schemes that benefit those in the center of traditional finance systems. Moreover, peer-to-peer transactions facilitated through blockchain reduce the need for intermediaries like banks or brokers, keeping financial services at the periphery of the system while empowering users with greater control over their assets. As we move towards more accessible and transparent financial solutions, we can expect a shift in power dynamics within this industry.#finance #Bitcoin


Money can be viewed as a share in the global capital market, and when new units are printed, they should theoretically deluge everyone equally. The reality is different - new money tends to be distributed unevenly, leading to inflationary pressures that disproportionately affect those with less purchasing power. Printing more money creates an analogy of Apple issuing more stocks but not diluting all shareholders equally. Bitcoin provides an alternative by having a fixed supply that limits inflationary pressures while empowering individuals to manage their own finances through its decentralized network.#finance #economics


Bitcoin solves the Byzantine generals problem, a theoretical computer science dilemma in which nodes in a distributed network must come to a consensus without relying on trust or centralized control. Bitcoin's decentralized blockchain ledger enables every node (known as miners) to have access to a shared transaction record, eliminating the need for intermediaries like banks who may not always act in good faith. By using complex algorithms and incentivizing honest behavior, the trustless nature of Bitcoin's network ensures that all participants can come to an agreement on transactions without worrying about malicious actors attempting to undermine it.#bitcoin #Byzantinegeneralsproblem

Here’s the thing.

Nobody cares.

You’re either useful to others or you’re not.

Doesn’t matter what you look like, what culture you’re from, what your background is, what happened to you, etc...

All noise.

Are you useful to me?

That’s all anyone is thinking about you.
