Ofcourse not!
I have to admit I haven't tried many but I got to say the sapphire storm I'm using is quite nice and I'm not a fan of the pax to be honest. Have you tried the dynavap? I've heard lots of good things about it
Innovators aren't community oriented people in the sense that they are too focused on innovation and not on being opinion leaders. However, early adopters are people focused on being 'cool', ahead of the curve and leaders of the community. Wether you like it or not, they will build communities. As we have crossed the chasm, increasingly we will see this play out. Bitcoin will have communities and we won't be in it but the majority will be in those walled gardens.
It was fun to be among the innovators, and with the early adopters moving in lots will change... My focus will shift to nostr, we will still have time with the innovators here
In such an event where could I find cheap debt? I'm a total noob in this regard, only thing I can think of going to my bank but they won't lend to me due to my employment situation
When you walk in it's a small and boring coffee cafe where you pay with fiat. You tell the guy behind the counter: "Craig Wright is not satoshi" and he opens a door for you to go down the rabbit hole.
I definitely am. Also the amount of people into surfing in the nostr/bitcoin space is shocking to me. Somehow that lifestyle alligns more with the values I guess 🤙
Just get some fuckn hash you know, its not rocket appliances

So im already in since I listened to the end of citadel dispatch, but would there be anything to do for someone trained as a consultant? And otherwise what would be skills I could learn to make myself useful?
This! A large part of new adopters haven't followed the first principle thinking all the way till the root. They'll be selling their bitcoin for fiat, wasting their chances at building a world as they see fit. This is bullish for the future of the true bitcoiners building a better world. Lettuce hands will be shaken out.
Hell yeah, change - just like bitcoins price - happens at the margins. I despise the gentrifiers too, they destroyed too many beautiful skate spots, but we do need them too. Without them we have no one to push our advancements in culture to, and without them adopting we wouldn't be motivated to go on to discover new things. We despise the mainstream but without them we wouldn't be on the margin.
Yes new movies and myths based on bitcoin. Satoshis private key as the fountain of youth/philosopher stone/the holy grail for example.
We need to work around existing IP by developing new, open and decentralized 'IP'. IP is a fiat scam in my opinion.
Took a shower to think about this..
I love to bring people together, I love to teach and help others, I love to move.
I would love to work on bringing these things together, creating a place for people to recharge and connect on a deeper level. Creating a surf/skate shack as a basis for a community. Surfing effectively functioning as a Trojan horse to teach people about food, health and wealth while building a sustainable economy for the locals.
I always find it difficult to describe my skills without feeling like I have to use hollow fiat CV speak but here's my honest try:
I'd say I'm analytically strong but never went deeper than applied thermodynamics and basic statistics, and, although I find both very fascinating, and have natural talent for it, I wouldn't be top of the class in those fields.
My main strong points are my presentation skills and my ability to convey new information, also, I am a quick learner and creative thinker. Linking new insights and information comes naturally and I enjoy thinking of ways to implement those thoughts. I function well in high stress situations and I'm very precise, maybe to the point of too much perfectionism. I've always been hesitant to actually move to 'doing'. It's not that I lack intrinsic motivation -I have immense motivation to dedicate my energy and human resources to Bitcoin- but I find it hard to make actual decisions based on the options I have in front of me.
As far as a mentor, I don't have one and I do feel that I need one. Right now, I'm reading and listening to people I find interesting and try to find guidance in that, but it is not a real substitute. I sometimes would discuss my curiousties and thoughts with my grandfather but not as I would with a mentor. However, he passed away in 2020. May God have his soul.
I worked at a surf camp in the kitchen last year. My surf journey is still a long way ahead of me before I could be an instructor. However, I don't know if I would enjoy teaching surfing. Surfing is time purely for me to connect to myself and the elements, not a 'job' by which it could lose it's magic. There is no better feeling than being alone in the ocean (or together alone).
Thank you very much for you're response though! The video inspired me to ask a whole lot more questions to myself today. Time to put nostr down for now and see what new seeds will sprout while I'm catching some sun rays.
Thanks, I will definitely shoot you a message! In the meantime I'll keep my eyes open for career opportunities. Talking about that, anyone already created a linkedin like terminal for nostr? #workstr anyone?
Very good

Ofcourse,
I can basically recommend anything I've read from him for now. He has a vast understanding of the world that still feels relevant today, may I say increasingly relevant om certain topics. I can definitely recommend his recordings too but this piece is a good starting point.
May he have intrigued you, there is other stuff on Mises.org as well that is worth a read.
