Do you have any Underground Citadels planned? If so, do you want to put together a very hands on basic lifesaving skills course.
I'd be down to put this together.
First, our homebirthing experience so far has been amazing. Very personal, very relaxed, and we're happy to have met Lauren. Thanks for advocating the process.
My question is:
What kind of opportunity do you see in helping Bitcoiners interested in building in the States? Any plans to help with inbound Visas?
Have you ever been to PlebLab_ I hear it's a really cool hacker space in Austin? Maybe Fedi needs an office? There's only 1 left 👀!
Love ya bro!
What's up Lyle. Bummed I missed the ABC with you and the V4V gang.
When are you going to swing through PlebLab_ for a tour, a work day, and a formal introduction.
Look forward to meeting dude. Love what you're working on!
I could not agree more. Perseverance was a principle I was recently meditating on, so it's interesting that it was your response.
When people have asked me how to get involved, since the very beginning of my entry into the Bitcoin space, this has been my thought:
Make two lists. 1 of things you like doing, and 1 of things you're good at. If you like doing it, you should be able to do it for a long time, and if you're good at it and do it for a long time, you'll likely find a way to make money doing it eventually.
John, it was a pleasure to meet at BTC++, glad you could make it out.
If you could attribute your success to a principle, or a few principles, what would they be?
You, the rest of the Bens, an upgraded hairstyle for all of them but you, and then we record you teaching them to dance.
Can we make this happen?
Pleb Lab would help to sponsor this. The world deserves this.
There is literally no better way to spend a day than to wake up and build a Bitcoin company. Bonus points if that Bitcoin company helps other builders build Bitcoin companies. (Those bonus points may be biased).
Seems like most people are asking about gaming; naturally. I see you listed travel as a topic. Do you have any moments from travel experiences that were really impactful?
I'd disagree slightly with the viewpoint that the ultimate sacrifice isn't a requirement. I'm not arguing that one would need to have a death of their physical being to become a messiah, but my opinion is that most religious texts speak in parables to make "experiences" more digestible without those direct experiences being had. The death of Christ in the Bible is an example. The story shows the death of his physical being, but the message is bigger. It's the death of his attachment to his physical being that the story represents. After his acceptance of the inevitable nature of life that he may truly begin his life unified with the divine. Therefore, I would agree with what you said in "Of course, confronting death, or other choices of extreme consequence can often require you to 'reveal' what the principles which animate you truly are". This was long-winded, but yes, I agree Bitcoin is going to act as a powerful tool that people will use to become closer to the holy spirit if you will. My final question, because I have to go take a call, is this; when are we going to jump on a Pod together again ser?
This feels like it begs the question, will Bitcoin transform the lives of people to the point where the messiah is found in actual people? Satoshi embodied some of those principles but was anonymous. If Bitcoin is actually leading people to Ultimate Truth, or union with God, will they be willing to make the meme a reality and die on the hill if necessary? John, do you believe there is currently anyone who has been so transformed that they would be honestly willing to sacrifice their life for their belief in Bitcoin?
