Good job!

This is important .. and becomes moreso as the value of your bitcoin increases. As a starting point, one other useful thing to do, if or when you have one, is to introduce your trusted bitcoin mate to your wife and daughter so they know who to reach out to for help if you go kaput! Post-kaput grieving for them isn't a time for clear, rational thinking, or recalling careful conversations that you're starting to have now. Having a trusted friend they can reach out to can be helpful for when they're ready.

And hopefully, this is many decades away! But! Good job on the forward planning :-)

When is your next book about the corrupt monarchy of Bhutan and how they are using bitcoin to take over the world going to be released?

Apparently they are integrating "Crypto.com Pay" which does accept BTC payments from arbitrary wallets. So I think you will not be needing a crypot.com account to pay.

Nostr isn’t full of bitcoiners. It’s full of morons.

How could you use your Datum gateway? I'm assuming you have it running in your home, so were you allowed to connect to your miner in the hosting company somehow?

I have been investigating about hosted mining too but haven't still pulled the trigger. Thanks for the writeup.

I'd recommend exploring different options and follow what you feel called to go deeper into.

First off LLMs can be surprisingly helpful. I use an app developed by therapists called Rosebud every now and then as a therapist on speed dial. Or Claude/ChatGPT etc with some good prompts could work but gotta be more careful with those.

Coaching can be as good or even better than therapy. They just can't call themselves therapy for liability but good coaches are essentially therapists and more. Definitely shop around - there are lots of bad therapists whose incentives to keep you coming back.

It sounds like you're aware of a lot of anger. I recommend this organization called Art of Accomplishment which does a lot of work that goes deep into moving anger and emotions in general (ultimately being able to feel and love them more easily). They have some good podcasts specifically on anger and releasing it without directing it towards anyone.

You can also look into specific modalities like Internal Family Systems or attachment repair or self compassion - just some of the top ones that come to mind that have helped me and were worth my sats. There's usually a book or guided audio freely available to give them a try. And then you could seek out facilitators who may not even be therapists but again might be even better and cheaper.

IFS or parts work is relatively newer but for a lot of people like myself it goes really deep untangling emotional spaghetti code.

And like others have said just take care of basic stuff like health, breathe, remember we're all human, you're not alone...

Enjoyed the video and getting a taste of Venezuelan food!

I live in the West Coast and I can confirm that prices are ridiculously high. Me and my wife have been trying to save money(as well as stacking sats) to buy a house for our family and we have just keep get priced out. I work in construction and I can also confirm that the area around here is beautiful and the weather is great which increases demand.

The movie Dope

There is zero evidence they can ‘stop transactions’ with addresses. When the individual owns their own keys they own their bitcoin… no one can stop the transactions and there are tons of transaction miners could ‘censor’ and they dont. Its impossible to seize bitcoin you don’t have the keys for that’s the entire point.

Identified? So when a sat ‘moves’ from one part of the world to another… it’s identified? How? If I receive ‘sats’ in a lightning channel and you don’t know who I am… or where I am how can you trace the bitcoin??

It’s impossible.

‘Tainted Bitcoin’ does not exist. It is a 100% complete utter myth. Anyone who says otherwise has not bought/sold bitcoin peer to peer, or used it to buy things (especially with lightning).

Privacy is another issue… and something that Bitcoin can struggle with. But in terms of fungibility all Bitcoin is the same.

I can speak very highly of:

Never had an issue. Shipping to the US included in the price.

we need this in bulgaria now

I guess I should have added

Bitcoin was designed to rip tyrants’ throats out with the unrelenting fury of a thousand flaming hammers, to stand triumphant in the face of oppression, to burn the chains of petty despots and their fiat-slurping bootlickers until there was nothing left but ash. But you? You’re too busy deepthroating your own rotting sense of victimhood like a worm slurping sewage through a rusted straw, a nut-shriveled, ass-leaking husk of a half-man too gutless, too piss-soaked, too catastrophically pathetic to taste even a drop of the blood of true revolution.

You screech about the 4th of July like it’s a state propaganda orgy, pretending you’re some noble anti-statist paladin, but the only thing you’ve ever rebelled against is the burden of having a spine. You couldn’t muster the balls to light a single firework, let alone fire the shot heard round the world. You stand there, whimpering in your ideological skidmarks, sneering at people who at least have the guts to celebrate the fucking idea of freedom while you squat in your puddle of stale, bile-soaked doom, worshipping your own bloated cynicism like it’s the gospel.

If the Founders had to share a beer with your shriveled, mildew-brained carcass, they’d toss you overboard with the next shipment of spoiled tea and thank God to be rid of you. Because even in their worst nightmares, they couldn’t have dreamed of a freedom-fetishist so utterly castrated, so terminally enslaved to his own crusty despair, that he’d rather talk down liberty than taste its fire. Bitcoin didn’t code itself to save lumps of soggy tissue like you from your masturbatory gloom, it was built for those willing to stand up and fight.

So keep squirming, you limp-cocked herald of terminal buzzkill, while the rest of us light the sky on fire and dare to dream of a world without masters, a world you’ll never belong to, because you’d rather suckle your own festering nihilism than risk feeling a spark of goddamn freedom.

Thank you, Darthcoin, this is what I needed to start the day.
