Well, you did get me back in here first time in a little bit, and inspired me to make another post. (Accidentally deleted the last, post before today’s, in the process, 😂 My NOSTR posting abilities are a work in progress😂)
Your YT vid, was the last push I needed in four years to move myself to try to sort out starting a node, btw. So thanks for tripping up my YT Algo w that 8,000 view post you made.

Just remembered the name of an influencer whose face came across my search today. Was proud of my aging brain.
I thought back to May 2022 when I really went down the rabbit hole.
I suppose I am aware of the greater percentage of interesting people in Bitcoin now.
FOUR years of daily bitcoin, for hours, and what have I got to show for it?
- A small to moderate amount of knowledge.
- A teensny, weensy, tiny bit of Bitcoin, but still proud, considering circumstances
- STILL unemployed, broke, and trying to figure out how to earn Bitcoin.
- Most of the Democrat knocked out of me (will never vote MAGA though - may never vote again at all, I don’t know)
- Started an AI faceless and animation Bitcoin YouTube channel for beginners (paused for poverty of time)
- My suspicions of the actual world secret control systems have been confirmed and expanded. (Still shocking)
- Reopened a two-year-old Nostr account and started using it (haven’t fixed the nip 05 wallet problem yet).
- A whole lot of passion for being in control of my own world, eventually.
- Became obsessive about seeking the pathways that lead to digital privacy in every way possible.
- Learned how to get some wild sats (when I have any fiat).
-Started assisting about 6 newbies into the bitcoin world.
- Suggested to the community that we collaborate on setting up a plan B in the country somewhere for when the sh-t hits the fan (none of them went for it, but I’ve become a skills and list-making prepper😂 for the time when some of them may want to plan for it).
- I become more and more Plebby by the day.
- Finally trying to figure out how to set up a node, with limited resources, I’d look for the cheapest miner possible too…
It’s not a lot in four years, but it’s not nothing, I suppose.😅
😁🧡😍

I haven’t got to the node running part yet, (what is the method to do it as an unemployed, single mama distracted w survival issues? I’m still trying to figure out how to provide value for sats), (I’ll look it up soon and see if it can be started with an external hard drive…)
and I don’t really understand all the tech arguments, but from listening to everyone arguing about the Core/Knots fight, the main things that I have taken away were: even if exorbitant pricing deters people from putting non-monetary stuff on the blockchain, that one set of bitcoiners tried to silence another group with no discussion (blocking Mechanic from the chat?);
one set of bitcoiners “in charge” is an alarm bell to me;
and taking away a filter choice in Core 30, seems uncool (is it even still possible to download the version before 30 and wouldn’t people have to upgrade to 30 at some point anyway, even if they didn’t want to?);
adding stuff to what’s supposed to be peer-to-peer money seems not so good and confusing;
hearing somewhere recently that in the last few years alone, the blockchain has 70% extra bloat w non-monetary data, making it harder and harder to download a copy of the blockchain seems pretty dang sketchy for anyone of lesser means to run a node (?);
and regardless of the tech, which I don’t really get yet, it seems natural to me that having more than one implementation is more “decentralized” than just having Core in charge and telling everyone how it’s going to be… seems anti-thetical to what Bitcoin is meant to be.
Why couldn’t Core, Knots, and others exist at the same time, allowing for choice?
Anyway, the very first thing that fascinated me about bitcoin when I heard about it was, that people could hold their own money with no middle man and that banks hated it (made my freedom flag stand up taller with intense curiosity)
It wasn’t “number go up” for me at the start, it was self-sovereignty. That I could leave a system where we were all at the mercy of greedy people in charge and exchange value with others directly. Amazing.
That was from a ten-minute conversation. I didn’t even know about “number go up” in that discussion…. I was just fascinated about the idea of being in control of my own world…
I am grateful to that stranger for telling me about Bitcoin, planting the seed for me.

I will crack the book open to this section at some point and have a look. Little problem I have though, is how many humans had a hand or a brain in the translations and passing down all this information over the years, and how many potentially biased and fallible human thought process affected the ultimate translations that we have today.
I believe in Jesus, I just don’t know if we can separate out all the good and the bad from us or our abilities… some people use beautiful tools for bad and some for good, and we’ll free will doesn’t make incongruencies… it just allows us to make choices with existing beauty that may be not so cool and hurtful to others, setting us backwards a bit…
But, that said,
When I personally set my mind and prayers with Jesus, I feel love and goodness.
I believe it is for all. The ones making congruent choices with their aptitudes and the ones choosing incongruous behavior and deeds….
BUT
give me time, I will crack a copy of the Good Book open when I can and have a read of the the text leading up to and after the parts you have brought up….

The same universal God energy and Jesus was telling us we could do anything like heal the sick and move mountains… Maybe all the magic practices or many could have been coming from God source energy and people just couldn’t separate out the good from the bad, so they tossed the congruent out with the incongruent?

I was watching a bunch of Bitcoin bros on a pod that we probably all know and most love. >;-)p
At some point in the middle they didn’t have anything better to add to their discourse than to show a picture of a bunch of Dems, one with a mask on and others of varying ethic backgrounds, several were women, shouting their support behind Mamdani… and insult them for being the opposite of Bitcoin, basically, the way it hit me.
Normally I listen to what these guys talk about to take the Bitcoin temperature of the world, but I lost the mood for that day when I saw them sink to this level.
This was my comment to them:
“Guys it’s just a bunch of poor folk who haven’t been awakened to the psyops and the narratives yet. They’re like babies who need understanding and guidance. Not insults and abuse. C’mon. You guys are supposed to be “better than the Gap” with your knowledge and comments…(Crazy, Stupid, Love movie reference)
I’m a Dem, used to be flaming Dem with strong belief, who was fortunate enough to hear about Bitcoin at the right moment to send me fully down the rabbit hole to seeing the shame of the system and being disgusted. (Me, an unusual bitcoiner as an ENFP-A). Honestly I don’t feel like voting anymore, maybe might turn independent or libertarian now…
HOWEVER, the people you are insulting, standing behind Mamdani, are like babies who just don’t know yet. Like I was. Like you all were. We do not have to be so tribal that we fall to the level of throwing insults at normies who know nothing about the Matrix.
Throw your insults at the power people and those who actually know better and are still trying to control the world. Those people you are insulting are the ones we maybe need to focus on turning, as I was turned, with a seed planted and patience.
If there is no red and no blue, as your intro states, maybe clean this up? So we can safely guide our planetary children to your pod. Without them seeing that and running away for a few more years.
Lately I’ve been seeing more bitcoiners angry with the innocents who are having trouble even looking at bitcoin (95% of the world?), and I don’t understand the prejudiced lack of compassion towards the sheep.
Maybe we are to be more like loving sheppards of the coming true world order (Bitcoin) and help adoption with welcoming vibes instead of “normie abuse”? Take your frustrated Bitcoin blues out on the people who deserve it?
I adore you guys, most of the time, but LFG guys, stop sitting on your Bitcoin asses and fight the good fight in a welcoming way, maybe?”

YOUNG BOY ON A BIKE, GEN X MEMORIES, AND BITCOIN - CAN THEY BE RELATED?
Normally, I would probably prefer to write about Bitcoin and freedom, here in Nostr, but I had a fabulous experience tonight that reminded me about what the world was like world when I was a child. Being that that particular time was the Gen X, latchkey kid time, I think there’s something kind of “Bitcoiny” about Gen X. And maybe we’ll be able to tie this into Bitcoin again. Let’s see if I can do it.😂
Gen X era was a kind of do-it-yourself, don’t-tell-me-what-to-do ethos. It was an explore-on-your-own, and battle-out-your-local-social-structure-without-intervention kind of looseness in the experience of growing up in Generation X.
The things we learned internally, before the digital age, about self-reliance and the strength of identity, developed through entertaining ourselves, or the compassion and creativity that evolved within us naturally, are potentially things that can come again, as a result of what Bitcoin might do in the world.
As we take self-sovereignty of our chosen money, we may naturally take back the self-sovereignty of our thinking, spending more time in nature and less time doomscrolling.
All that is in a weird way to preface what I experienced going to my local sunset spot for a second night in a row.
I saw a boy and his bike, in the grassy expanse on my hill. He looked to me to be about 10 years old. He had stopped there. There were no other humans around in that moment. As a mom, I usually take a look around when I see lone kids, to make sure they have people looking out for them. I was shocked to see him there by himself.
I stared at him in amazement. Probably he noticed my surprise because he smiled and waved at me through his neon green Bike helmet that matched his fancy neon green sport bike.
Gobsmacked, at his age, independently cruising the hill, I smiled and asked him, in delight, if he came up alone, indicating towards the scene to enjoy, the setting sun.
With enthusiasm the boy said, “yeah, It’s nice.”
I said, with big joy busting out of me , “I KNOW, right?” Wanting to speak a little closer to his age range for his comfort.
Turns out, young fella didn’t need me taking care of his comfort. He was just kneeling down in his grey shorts and striped shirt, taking various pictures of the sun coming through the frame of his bike and panning his camera around the surrounding wide open, grassy heath and the views. He was confident and with purpose.
I could not help myself, I took a pic of him because from where I normally sat he was there a little to the left side, between me and the sunset. Of course I won’t post it, though it is amazing, but I’m making a re-creation of it with AI to post with this.
He finished his photography session and started to get on his bike to leave. Waving goodbye at me.
And I called across to him, “you’re leaving before the sun sets?”
“Yeah,” he said, as he raised his shoulders, like he was done or had to be back home maybe.
I really wanted to support this boy’s adventurous, creative spirit. I never said it was because he was adventurous and super interesting soul, at his age, for coming up alone to practice his craft at sunset. Instead I said, “Well, I’m really happy to see YOU up here”
“I’m happy to see you too” he said.
Big smiles on me, “Maybe we’ll see you again sometime.,” Waving at him.
He smiled and started to ride off.
“Have fun!”, I called out
“You too!” Was his return reply to me as he rode off down the hill.
I do not really know how to describe or write about how stunned I was to see a young boy of that age, up the hill alone, super affable and doing things on his own, like he was 20 years old instead of 10.
As fabulous Gen X gal, who’s seen a few decades of life now, and self-determined always to think like I’m forever 35 years old, I didn’t realize how much I lament the loss of our kids being able to do what we did as kids.
We roamed around without cells phones, without location apps, entertaining ourselves, doing stupid shit, learning stuff, parents not always knowing where we were, just that we would be home before the streetlights come on.
That kind of thing.
This kid tonight had a phone of course for taking his artistic pictures, capturing the sun through the bike frame, his videos panning the scene, but it was his emotional maturity and developed identity that impressed me.
The parents of that boy tonight must be pretty awesome people.
Gen Z has been raised by us to be so protected and always watched that they may have trouble developing the inner strength and ability to connect deeply and with curiosity, like we maybe did when we were kids, learning the rough and tumble way.
I am a Gen X mother to a Gen Z daughter and there is a big difference between our generations. As a mother and a person who delights in being around children, I don’t think the kids now are secure in themselves. I don’t experience them as interested in talking and interacting with others, not as much as we did. Not like before social media, being escorted everywhere, location tracked, and with constant check-ins by protective parents.
I may be generalizing a bit, but my daughter and her friends are not talkative with me. Kids, in the double-digit age range, that I try to engage with are nervous and awkward, as if adults are aliens, and social media is waiting for them as soon as they can get away.
This kid tonight was so impressive, to me, as a stand-alone soul, the experience of interacting with him probably gave me more joy than him, and made me hearken back to different times when we were less controlled and had more privacy to develop ourselves, and our interesting ideas. We had the freedom to determine for ourselves what connections with others meant to us, without social media and governments and newscasters all blasting us with their packaged programming and rules of control.
Maybe I’m romanticizing and extrapolating a lot, but I suspect the tenets of Bitcoin and adoption of it, the world round will eventually lead to higher quality schooling and supporting the individual gifts of each child, left to their own devices, in more freedom again.
Maybe it will bring back the era of Gen X for all, who are ultimately changed by Bitcoin, gravitating toward healthier lives on all levels through the control of our own financial freedom.
And then we may come to raise children, again allowing them the freedom to become who they are without so many of the controls we are oppressed by today.
And so, those are my thoughts of the moment, having the blessing of meeting this lone boy up the hill.

Money as a Free Will Choice
Someone made a comment on a YouTube post that stated the use of money should be eliminated as a solution to keeping the greedy few from controlling the world.
My immediate response was -
Money is energy, and if you put out energy in value, it is balanced that you should receive energy back in a value that you have the free will to determine for yourself how to use. It is a freedom that has a side effect of abuse, yes, but there must be another way to stop the abuse without eliminating a person’s self-sovereignty… I mean, who would decide who gets what without the choice of financial energy? And how are the deciders to be held to account?
I love money in the energy sense and the freedom sense. If I want to help people with it I can because I choose to and love to do that. Money fuels creativity, the goals to work towards that freedom that comes with it.
I mean as long as we are here, in our bodies, why not use the financial energy of the reality we inhabit?
Free will is key.
There will be plenty of time in the spirit world to explore without money, though I’m not certain what the value structure is there, but it’s obvious here.
Use it, but find ways to keep the greedy few from misdirecting civilization, ways that don’t involve us giving up our freedom to choose…
Free will to choose good (or no good) with one’s financial value is much better than having no choice… free will to choose is a necessary feature of an evolutionary path.🙏🏻

With all the military parading for him through the streets like it was China or Germany, but no one showed up? What was that? He is not chill or laid back, whatever you said. Politics and the global monetary scam are a train wreck happening in slow motion.
Personally, I think I’m done with all the politicians now. Used to be a full-fledged democrat. Now I just want all the politicians to stop behaving like children and shrink the government, let Bitcoin fix everything. And leave us alone. Wow, can’t believe I’m saying all this.

Bitcoin Pub Night Replacement
So, last night I couldn’t organize myself early enough to get all the way across town from the West to the Pub for the monthly Bitcoin hangout (and I don’t go often, so I was kinda hungry for it, silly me)
Having missed it (and rarely getting out of the house recently), I grabbed my neighbor (who I have sort of Orange pilled a little over time) and decided to go find a local pub. The purpose - to congenially get in people’s faces for fun and provoke conversation about macroeconomics, financial issues, money printing, the secret elite controlling the public narrative, and mostly with intent to mention Bitcoin.
Because I felt I had robbed myself of Bitcoin camaraderie last night, not getting to the Meetup Pub.
I know mentally that only 5% of the world “gets” Bitcoin to varying degrees. It’s another thing, entirely, to actually get out of the house, get into other people’s world a bit and see almost no one knowing anything at all about Bitcoin, and if they do, their heads may go to “trading” or “danger, danger”.
Not to mention the looks of “she must be crazy” that come over the faces of people in those groups that I insert myself into for fun - those looks caused in part by my boldness, maybe, and in part by Bitcoin, when I bring it up. (Don’t worry, I am discerning about which groups I accost).
Everyday (at the moment) my world is filled w Bitcoin pods, what’s going on in the world power structures, and with a total backdrop in my belief system, that Bitcoin is our future and fixes most of the problems caused by fiat disease.
Going out into the world last night, to a mixed-age pub, was almost like stepping into a completely different world, where no one is aware that they are being manipulated and distracted from seeking truth.
I was the crazy Bitcoin missionary last night, my neighbor remarked, as we were headed back home (though she didn’t use the word “crazy” and I had warned her, before I brought her along, what my social scheme was for the evening).
I then told her about the Uber passenger I had, in 2017, a young fella in a suit, who was eager to bring up a particular subject. In a short 10 minutes, give or take, he told me about a new internet money that banks hated, and that allowed people to be their OWN banks. With that, he had me, he got out of the car, and I was fascinated. I got busy heading to pick up my next fare and forgot about it for some time, but he had planted a seed.
And that’s sort of what I think I was doing for fun last night, planting seeds (and also practicing the art of comfortably injecting myself into pockets of unknown people who would think I was crazy, as my future work is going to require a lot of that).
All around, the evening was both a fun and a terrifying reminder of what the world is likely going to undergo before we get to transition to a world where transacting in Bitcoin is the norm for everyone.

Okayyyyy, just this one time, I dig it😂
But I keep telling my daughter to stick with dance because AI is going to take away legal work, and psychology jobs (probably)too, but humans are always going to want to watch other humans dance…. After this initial robotic spectacular, anyway😅
