Have you ever read any of Zecharia Sitchin's work?

It's been proven his translations of sumerian tablets are very incorrect.

reply

That sounds like Anunnaki propaganda to me 😂

I'm not super familiar, did write about anything besides his interpretations of those tablets? Or did everything trace back to them in his writing?

reply

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replies: Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters. The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths. The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy. So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special. Therefore, every woman can be special to someone. Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others!

Like this answer!

So true, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

I don’t know how many people add sats into their wallets but I wonder if the price keeps falling if more people will move sats to use here if that makes sense

I don't know if you are going to believe me, but right there, in that motorhome, in the middle of nothing, close to a beautiful lake, it runs a full Lightning node with my own bank (lnbits). And works beautifully. So well, that I already have several users. And it consumes only 10kb/s of data, and around 5W of energy, more than enough to be supported by my solar panels installed on the roof, and my dirty cheap 4G connection.

Soon I will write a guide on how you can have your own mobile bitcoin bank, with its headquarters completely undefined!

Finished a lesson observation by my Head of Department as well as four visitors from the Headquarters, Ministry of Education this morning!

I let my restless students dance to Baby Shark in the middle of the lesson to let them expend their energy. Omg, but it is what it is.

Now that the lesson obs is done n dusted, I feel exhausted n strangely empty. Like a void that even April’s MSM can’t fill hahaha. Not sure why exactly.

reply

maybe you needed to expand your energy and dance along with them?

reply

I did. Haha. I conducted my lesson at the library. I think the librarian took a video of us dancing haha

reply

I love that! If you were my client I would suggest you try 3 things!

  1. take a nap
  2. eat something
  3. go outside with your shoes of and stack up on some of natures energy!

It tends to be one (or all) of these that help me and my clients ha ha... your intuition should tell you which one is best for you :)

reply

Haha I actually did the first two. Ate Long John Silver’s fast food n napped. Can’t do the third because need to take care of two kids. Haha. But I will walk through a park in the future.

EmployeeEmployee

The word employee has its roots in the Latin word implicare, which became implicari, meaning “to be involved in” or ”attached to”.

Over time, the Latin word evolved into the middle English word “imploy”, from the 16th and 17th century, and meant “enfold”, “entangle”, “to entwine” and “imply”, and is compared to the Latin word implicare or_“to implicate”.

A person who is carrying out the action of, or offering employment, is offering you to be implicated with the business in hand, and would be called the “employer”.

If the offer is accepted, then you would be in the “state of being employed”, making you the “employee”.

Once employed, you can now be deployed, meaning “to make use of” or “to bring into effective action”, just as troops or infantry would be.

Note: being employed does not mean you are entitled to payment, it just means you are implicated.

Therefore, if you accept “citizenship” or “civilian-ship”, you are now implicated with a corporation, which can “deploy you”, or “make use of you”.

Meaning you have become a “taxable human resource” to the corporation.

And they have (most of us) by the balls! The minute you open a bank account, you are agreeing that every penny that goes through can be monitored. When you sign a contract for a house you are agreeing to not only paying the rent but also the council tax (and who knows where that money goes). I did hear a story (i don't know how accurate it was) that it is all in the prefix and that if you don't acknowledge one then you are exempt however without one you can't really live a life within society. I could talk about this all day, I won't though!

reply

I'm not following the prefix thing, more info? Regarding "society", I'd rather be alone in the world with my dog than be part of "slavery society". A sovereign chooses wich contracts to accept, that simple. We all have the power, but are programmed to not think this from day 1. And we can (re)build institutions that serve people

Thanks Darth I'll check those comparisons out. I've personally used Mutiny, Phoenix and WoS.

WoS became my ease of access simple wallet for on ramping sats to SN via moonpay. And mutiny and phoenix I used to experiment and learn more about self hosting but I'm still learning about that.

Do you anticipate zeus to be a good "starter" wallet or do you think it would require some intermediate level of knowledge on lightning?

reply
reply

Thanks Darth 👊 I am slowly making my way through a lot of your guides but there's so much information and so much content and it can be quite overwhelming at times.

Just going through the one about Zeus. A private node running straight off your phone, well that's certainly very very interesting. I'm not going to pretend to understand the difference between aezeed and bip39 seeds aside from what the guide says about date of creation. But that does add another layer of security having more information required in a seed.

As I always said to all noobs: do not waste your time with crap things. Start now learning more about Bitcoin. Later you will regret it or you will pay a higher price. https://i.postimg.cc/2yHJ6qDx/vader-thinking-start-now.jpg

It's definitely a lot of information to take on board but I really appreciate your resource. I tried to jump in with self custody straight after WoS. But ended up getting burned by having funds tied up in channel reserves before I really understood what was going on and how to work a self custody.

I love the saying, "you reap what you sow". I tend to find that because of the world we live in, that there are a lot who are just trying to get by, and to look after themselves. What people forget, is that we are all connected. We are all one and not separate beings as some would suggest. Those that we create into our lives are like mirrors, and therefore if we take advantage of that person then the universe will think that that is what we want and give it back to us threefold. Some will call it karma, I say it's getting what we asked for!

Sigh. All of our tulips are at the "almost ready to pop" stage, and we're looking at these buds just begging them to finally open up. Not that it'll be as gorgeous as this festival, but man are they nice flowers to have.

reply

absolutely beautiful!

reply

I find tulips to be incredibly beautiful, and I LOVE the wide variety of colors they come in. The only thing I know about tulips is the Dutch tulip mania. The Dutch tulip bubble was an economic-financial episode that occurred in the Netherlands in the 17th century. It is considered the first known speculative bubble in history. In this case, the asset that became the target of intense speculation was tulips, a highly prized flower that, at that time, became increasingly valued by people.

reply

I read about this too, but a friend who had dug deeper into the Tulip mania than me said it's apocryphal. 👀

reply

apocryphal? Can you clarify?

reply

meaning it didn’t really happen or most what we heard aren't true, and I could ask some books' name for you to dig. 👀

reply

I understand that it only lasted for 6 months, but to say it never existed is a bit of a stretch. I don't think this is well explained. What are the arguments for claiming such a thing?

reply

There have been some articles noting that while there was indeed a craze that crashed, it didn't lead to bankruptcy or financial ruin for anyone. So it'd be like, say, discussing Beanie Babies as a financial crisis.
