Yeah, I can't wait to see him in October.

Thanks so much, appreciate that and I'm sure @PictureRoom will too.

Thanks. So to clarify, you're saying that if we forward zaps the recipient receives cowboy credits, or we do? The primary reason we're forwarding is because when I created our SN account I forgot to use the referral link we had been given by @PictureRoom. Is there a way to retroactively add that referral? Then we wouldn't need to do any forwarding. -Tom

Sharing this because I have rediscovered Gary Numan after his amazing set at Glastonbury recently and now I'm basically inhaling his work before we go to see him live in Albany in October. His heavier live treatment of his older work takes it to another level entirely and I am loving it. The guy is a legend. -Tom

I said this on Nostr but I'll post it here too as I can see myself spending more time here than there for a while.

I think it will be really tough for many to know what to do with astronomical gains and how to hodl when the number becomes something huge. If you believe in Bitcoin it doesn’t make sense to cash out for USD at some lofty valuation – then you’re just stuck with a currency that is going in the wrong direction and have no Bitcoin to show for your efforts – but I suspect the gains will be too good for many to ignore. We're all human after all.

I do think that trimming some BTC to pay off debt or buy a house outright as you said are good ideas, income generation, and a Bitcoin-focused business is an excellent idea. There is essentially no Bitcoin community here in western MA as far as I am aware, and the idea of gradually raising awareness and educating others appeals to me. I'm sure it's the same for others here. It will no doubt vary for everyone but improving one’s life (and helping others), freedom, independence, life experiences are always worthy goals.

Thank you, good to be here!

Interesting, good to know! Can't wait to dive in here. -Tom

Ha, well collective was the only term that felt right but we are a husband/wife team. We originally met on Flickr back in the heyday of the platform, pre-Instagram. We are both individual photographers and shoot what we want to shoot as artists, but we operate under one LLC and frequently collaborate on shoots or projects. We also sell prints of our work and together our photographs pair pretty well together, so defining ourselves as a collective seemed appropriate. Thanks for the welcome! -Tom
