676 sats \ 9 replies \ @Undisciplined 8 Feb \ on: Do you have a life purpose, and do you think it contributes to longevity? health
I haven't quite hit the "sweet spot", yet.
If I could get paid for being a good husband and father, then that would be mine.
I'm also still weaving together a mission built around enhancing the parallel economy. This is what brought me to SN in the first place. Partly, I'm trying to add to the network effects of alternatives to Big Tech platforms and make them more rewarding places to be. That's why I don't mind being generous with my sats. For now, it's rewarding enough emotionally and intellectually, but long-term it needs to also be rewarding financially.
Cheers to your support for fellow Bitcoiners
The nagging question in my mind is, why don’t you extract revenue periodically even as you work towards earning 30k sats every day? Surely, enjoying some low-hanging fruits will motivate you to stay the course, no?
reply
I have no desire to withdraw anything. That might change if I find a local Bitcoin accepting merchant. For now, my sats may as well live here as anywhere else.

Haha. Erm is Kraken operational in your state? Just in case you didn’t know that it accepts payments made over the Lightning Network

Not sure

Direct participation is an obvious way to help with this; anything else in your toolbox?
reply
It's mostly direct participation, but trying to make a point of interacting with more content than I'm naturally inclined to and being less of combative jerk than I'm naturally inclined to be.
I do also talk to developers occasionally (on the rare occasions that I feel like I have something to contribute) and I pretty much always accept requests to check out and give feedback on people's start up projects.

"being less of combative jerk than I'm naturally inclined to be"
Haha. I think this is starting to become more the norm for people who still have their heads screwed on straight as the wheels continue to come off "proper" society.
reply
and being less of combative jerk than I'm naturally inclined to be.
I aspire to the same. I'm hoping eventually it starts to become more natural.
reply
For me, at least, it is starting to become more natural. I've discovered the power of just unfollowing people I don't like, rather than getting into heated arguments with them.
I've also gotten a little better about letting things go, even when I think they're only 97% correct.
