Being the MOST HUMBLE satoshi stacker out there. Y'all WISH you could be as humble as me.

Nah being real tho, probably my cooking game over the past year.

I've 10xd my abilities...

I am proud that I can make some household repairs now, mainly as a result of learning through YouTube. My wife comes from a family where the men can fix everything, so my lack of handyman skills was embarrassing. BTW, I'm proud of my new skills, but my family doesn't notice much improvement.

Yep. You must have gotten a great deal of satisfaction with that success. YouTube is great for repair instruction. Unfortunately all of my repairs seem to be of a plumbing and sewage sort. No celebratory rides around the block.

Building my own homesteading place with my own hands and without any specialized knowledge in construction. Just learning by doing it. It was my life dream to do it and now I am so close to bring it to reality... https://i.postimg.cc/pdr6VD3L/citadel-lvl-14.jpg

I have a surprise for you once it's done 🤓 should be next year right?

reply

please not another darth mask 😂😂😂😂

reply

nah I'm more creative than that, someone sent you a mask? 🫣

reply

yeah I don't know why people give me gifts with darth masks at my birthday. I think I have like 4 or something. I told them: the only thing I want in my life is bitcoin. I don't need anything else.

should record some cool timelapses

reply

at the end of the part 2 of the citadel story, I inserted a timelapse.

reply

Mustve missed that, going to check it out 🫡

reply

very cool, what tools did you use to put that gif together?

reply
  1. resize all the original images to max 600x400 for a small size of the final gif
  2. rename them in the order you want
  3. use https://ezgif.com/jpg-to-gif for free and follow the settings you want
  4. save the gif at a lower res and max compression to save in file size.
reply

have had issues in the past with ezgif but I shall keep this in mind

reply

there are other tools to convert jpg to gif out there. Don't bother to look for "the best one". There's no such thing.

Maybe something like this one but with a B symbol. https://i.postimg.cc/nhSqNMb7/btc-citadel-logo.jpg

I don't know exactly. I was also thinking to put a giant stone B sign on top. A flag, in time get rotten, but a stone will be there even after 500 years.

def need something more long lasting 🤓 and how things would work inside?

Nothing, if I can help it. Pride is blindness. Not trying to make a killjoy holier-than-though point here, it's just worth saying because it's so difficult to remember. A constant battle.

Proud of my cooking? Then I'm blind to advice from "worse" cooks. Proud of my physics insight? This one is personal for me, because I am. Which means I don't know what it makes me blind to :(

Proud of my nationality, race, religion? Blind to the potential value of the "others". It's in all cases stupid, that's why its a sin, i guess.

I've interacted with a few radically angry bitcoin maximalists on this site. What is their common trait? They are proud of their vast knowledge. Blind to the wisdom of fools. Proud of yourself? Blind to becoming better.

It's a constant battle, especially if you are like me— extremely smart, competent, and really, really, really ridiculously good looking.

reply

It is a constant battle.

I think there’s a difference between being proud of something and being prideful; nothing wrong with giving yourself credit where it’s due

Drank my last alcoholic beverage over 17 years ago.

👑 how has life changed for you since?

reply

For the better in every way possible. I was single, living in a shitty little apartment, always broke. Since then married, kids, own a house, decent jobs, the whole bit. I don't think any of it would have happened if I had stayed on that path.

  • being independent and adventuring in the real world
  • the ability to learn anything once I set my mind to it
  • seeing beauty, even in the most ordinary places

Learned to read and speak english by myself just to sate my never-ending curiosity since I was a kid, no school or special training.

Somehow the same happened with programming, after I was playing with 2d and 3d art, aiming to create something fun like videogames, I discovered the magic ingredient I was missing: "Code".

Now I'm a Full-stack web dev both as a job and hobby.

reply

I used to think that having a full life as a parent and teacher would leave me with zero time and energy for writing. But somehow, I prioritised writing, made it a non-negotiable and usually manage to churn out some writing every day. It may not be perfect but I don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.

rlly wasn’t a riff on what u were saying, more so what sensei said

You don’t wanna create lofty goals that you’re not sure you can always meet — you want to build up “non-negotiables” and set higher standards for your “bare minimum”

So, don’t aim to be perfect - aim to set up healthier systems for yourself that make your goals easier to achieve

Atomic habits!

Despite negative experiences growing up I learnt a new language to a basic conversational standard in 12-weeks. I am proud I have kept learning and, although I am usually quiet and stand-off ish, now look for opportunities to practice. Not very humble perhaps, but useful lol
