Thanks for letting me know your opinion, fellow stacker. That's exactly what I think. We should coexist in a balance between spending and being diamond hands π€² π
"Our purpose is to please God" Why would a rational person want to spend his life, his only turn in life, which is to learn, know, enjoy and gain experiences along the way?
Why would someone truly capable and intelligent want to spend his life pleasing a superficial entity that only expects your devotion and obedience from you? Why would someone truly awake want to waste his only turn in life worshipping deities of legends and tales invented in ancient times and imposed on human beings by force of sword and blood?
Living close by is always a good idea. I am also close to my work, I walk a few blocks and start working, and during my workday I travel to several places, and I do it on foot!
Well done! For those who have to drive, there is always the option of the Podcast. You avoid the stress of traffic and use your time productively!
Good for you, both options are excellent, and I totally agree, no time wasted on your strategy. When I have to go in traffic, or on public transport, be it train or bus π, I do something similar, I usually read or take advantage of the opportunity to interact on SN, sometimes listening to a podcast, or something else, just as you say, trying to make my time during the late ride through traffic productive. (Sometimes I usually notice the people around me, since you always have to be attentive to those around you, you never know when something will happen and most of them are just looking at the screen and sliding their finger)
PD: Good vibes with that bike π² For a while now I have felt the call to ride a bike again, I haven't done it for many years, nowadays for short distances I use a skateboard πΉ. But adding bike routes is within my plans for the near future with my wife who also likes to ride a bike.
Congratulations, you are the lucky ones who can work close to home π I agree with you, it is a very good activity and walking can be combined with other pleasures. At home I like to go out for a walk from time to time to new or familiar places to take photos, look at the trees, and just breathe.
The trap has been there since we were children, the fiduciary system unconsciously takes over us until it makes us slaves (rodents running in their big wheel π π) Bitcoin helps us break that wheel and live truly free.
I think the most regrettable thing is that people π₯ don't realize that life is more expensive every day due to inflation and currency devaluation. Everyone thinks that having two or three jobs is the solution or earning more money, but it is very complicated, we already know that salaries do not increase as inflation does. So you end up enslaved in one or more jobs, just to keep buying bread π and paying rent or other basic expenses.
And on the other hand we have people who are still asleep and π₯ who firmly believe in the fantasy of "Job Security" or the so-called "Permanent Job." And their naivety is such that they also believe and count on the state pension system, as if it were a lifeline guaranteed for when they reach the age of 60 or 70.
Although it is a somewhat complicated situation, I think it is possible, but it is very, very complicated to see a case like this, generally and almost always there is a pattern of hidden interests, whether from the man towards the woman or from the woman towards the man.
Thanks for the recommendation, recently in another post someone talked about Organic Maps, I installed it and downloaded the map of my city and have started using it as a replacement for Google Maps.
Being totally honest, I think the same as you! Bitcoin is the only salvation for ordinary people to secure something for the future, specifically to secure their pension or retirement as we want to call it.
Ehem in Spain or the US you can go to a store and buy tenths of gold, 1/4 ounces, 1/2 ounces, even 1 ounce if you are wise and have the purchasing power. IT DOESN'T MATTER if you are an ordinary citizen who in a whole year could only save for a tenth of an ounce, you can still go annually and hoard some energy from the smallest unit to larger amounts. (Currently it is not possible to do that in Latin America, to buy fractions of investment gold at most jewelry and we know that the quality is not the same).
And by being able to accumulate do what my grandfather said, he died a long long time ago and his last years were sad, he suffered an accident that left half his body paralyzed on the right side (his right side), and apart from that he was left a little mentally unbalanced. (Obviously when half of my body shut down, half of my brain had to shut down π§ surely) I was a kid and I didn't understand many things when that happened, I was only 6 or 7 years old.
To sum up, years later, he had recovered somewhat and had some mobility. He would say things like "Fuck Banks, you have to have the "morocotas" buried in the backyard of the house." To add context, "morocotas" were old coins used in Venezuela many years ago, these were made of gold.
I never knew what happened to my grandfather's estate, he died alone and poor, very poor. Due to his illness after the accident he became very very violent, he hit my grandmother and my mother and that made us run away from home when I was 9 years old.
So during his last years he lived alone, and when he said those things about the morocotas everyone said he was crazy.
Today I don't know if he really had something and it's still buried under the house, or if he had it in a bank and after his accident it was confiscated, denying him access to it, which further contributed to his mental deterioration and to his later saying those phrases, which I always remembered all these years without giving them any meaning until these days of the present, or perhaps nothing ever existed. But today I thank him for those words that resonated in my head until today when I discovered the existence of bitcoin and woke up from the illusion of society and the State.
Excellent and I congratulate you for noticing what was happening, many people π₯ do not realize that their jobs consume them, until it is too late.
They only notice it when they lose their family or when a health problem due to work invades them. They spend their lives obsessed with searching for papers, papers that are not capable of sustaining your life in your old age. If in the process and time of working life you do not accumulate real hard money, it does not matter how much you work and how many papers you save in the end it will only be paper and it will have cost you your freedom.
The most rewarding thing about what you do is that you work for pleasure and for a just and noble cause, and although you may not fill your pockets with large amounts of FIAT, I think it is a very favorable, valuable and fair labor. In the end, it puts a few dollars in your pocket and most importantly, you feel good! There is nothing worse than living daily for a job that does not make you happy, that does not excite you or does not inspire you at all.
Excellent initiative, much success in your projects.
I know what you are talking about, it is very difficult to capture photographs doing this type of maneuvers, a few years ago when I lived in Margarita and I dedicated myself to taking photos, on tourist trips, I was also skating with a Longboard and on some occasions I got together with friends to try to get some photos of myself or take some photos of my companions.
You must try many times between taking shots with the camera and trying to do a trick or maneuver with the skateboard πΉ
Thanks for sharing.
The courage of this woman to continue on is admirable, on the other hand it is quite unfortunate but that is life, if we do not take care of ensuring our retirement through our savings or hard assets acquired during the process of our productive life, what awaits us is working until the end of days.
W. Buffett already said "If we do not find a way to generate income while we sleep, we will work until the day we die"
Thanks to Bitcoin, today we can say that it is possible to work to ensure a pension for our old age.
I love taking photographs, because it is a way to capture what we see so that it can then be appreciated again by others when we share it, or for ourselves, and in this way observe the passage of time and the years.
Thank you for this resource, it is something simple but very valuable. Very useful for those of us who are just starting out. My list of books π to read continues to expand. You should never stop reading and learning.
