Never too excited, never too angry. Never too sad nor overly exuberant.<br/><br/>I have felt, at times, burdened by riding the sine wave of life – never quite able to ignore it let alone fail to experience it. While I appreciate the Stoic perspective, I have learned over the years to appreciate life&#39;s muck and mire. In order to appreciate it you must truly experience it and not feign disinterest or emotional detachment in the name of perseverance.<br/><br/>And then you learn about Bitcoin. And you once again understand that fearing volatility does not make you more adept. Like the flexible wing of a plane in turbulent air, you learn that being fixed and rigid inevitably fractures with strain. You learn that it is the air that is constant and we merely oscillate around it. The Bitcoin protocol is constant, but our unit of measurement is what changes.<br/><br/>The fight against volatility can be seen in other aspects of life. You begin to recognize that identity when fixed is a wing that cannot fly. It cannot adapt under strain, further locking itself to a fragile structure. Privacy and freedom as a core to one&#39; s identity becomes subjectively applied depending on the political currents, remaining fixed only to anchors of righteousness.<br/><br/>Bitcoin illuminates our volatility around a fixed point and our struggle to hold onto it as if that point is the only thing true and real in this world. Having the courage to let go is the freedom you&#39;re after. 2026-02-08T15:53:42+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd44yepdd3qdrh0hcjqm3mgv3l0fsqlwt7qsssx2v3dnasyav3f6czypfmneukj8c7dcjczpuj2y40ex2p33rl53ttrk2tn8yaa3d09asj2x5zlz8 Good morning<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/0259173e5c26fe85a13d15f3eb14032256cd96589c5f74f7db54d33b97a52b1b.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/5ee33b3336957013b76e04e0c16ba07b0e5b820b4ad346c916d7ae76e956c85d.jpg"> 2026-02-07T14:33:13+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszcf7d8usufhv5utnj98pqtgysm8axdw29pky5f88hzgkqc8npkngzypfmneukj8c7dcjczpuj2y40ex2p33rl53ttrk2tn8yaa3d09asj20zqhh0 Took us 4 months to do a nominal wire transfer in fiat world because “Bitcoin” was in our name <blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsrrphew3k8zfeuwzhtcc79tnxk0dvmk5h6tkzt4yzs8kdsvj8wzxsm63yuh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…3yuh</a></span> </div> On a personal level, and as a finance director in the bitcoin space <br/><br/>I always like to work with bitcoin.

An administration that promised unprecedented openness to the American people has gone conspicuously silent on this issue. The files sit there, documented and real, yet the conversation around them has been muted at best.<br/><br/>This deserves our attention. This deserves answers. When those who promised to drain the swamp refuse to even acknowledge what might be the deepest, darkest part of it, we need to ask why. The victims of these crimes deserve justice. The public deserves truth. Our children deserve a system that pursues predators regardless of their wealth or connections.<br/><br/>Why are we accepting this silence?

Many of these are well articulated, others verge on a utopian ideal.<br/><br/>But these theses, having been nailed to the door, whither away in the rain of the timeline feed instead of igniting a movement they were hoping to sow. <br/><br/>Their messages do not inspire, they do not compel, they do not make me willing to sacrifice for their them. <br/><br/>Their anger is thin, inauthentic and fails to inspire, or their utopia is theirs, and not mine. <br/><br/>Words, I feel these days, are mere ornaments for us to decorate our morality. This post, in fact, is exemplary of this sentiment. <br/><br/>However, I remain encouraged, motivated and inspired by that something new, something whose promises are laid bare but whose outcomes are up to us. So, of course, I remind you of what we signed up for - the understanding that sentiment should not be dictated by price. You are the node, the miner, the holdr, YOU are the sentiment, so let it be dictated by your support of the network and its users not price action. <br/><br/>This is supposed to be hard. Words and posts are easy. Courage is hard, seeking to inspire is hard, leading with kindness rather than vitriol is hard. But I have never met a group of people that I’d rather sacrifice my time, safety, and comfort for than Bitcoiners. 2026 - WE CAN change the sentiment 🧡 2025-12-24T15:46:02+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs25mdr9h2ka8vu7ve82kxe9w6qw9g0vsg0zcn2xhrlygwwjdahvqgzypfmneukj8c7dcjczpuj2y40ex2p33rl53ttrk2tn8yaa3d09asj2l57t37 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8cz49dhpue9m9w3yw9ms2m0qd3kjpcrc8uaxuypke9fnyh0l9slgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv6uq26h'>nevent1q…q26h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What does “the collective withdrawal of moral permission” and consent mean for the average Brit?

I believe the medical community (physicians) deserve a portion of the blame for this. <br/><br/>I am not surprised by the response to our medical system. It is not a new sentiment. During the 1960s and 1970s medicine’s public image took a beating. The infamous Ivan Illych penned a critique entitled “Medical Nemesis,” in which he stated, “Doctors contribute little to the health of populations, they probably did more harm than good.&#39;&#39; Berkeley political scientist, Aaron Wildavsky, made the claim in 1977 that “The marginal value of one–or one billion–dollars spent on medical care will be close to zero in improving health.” I share his sentiment, considering despite our efforts currently only 12% of Americans are without evidence for metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. The conclusions of these critics of the health care system are not surprising since it was the height of medical paternalism at a time when society was questioning our institutions while in the midst of Watergate and the Vietnam War.<br/><br/>Iraq, Afghanistan, GFC, Covid and we now find ourselves in a similar position, where Americans are not convinced of &#34;first do no harm,&#34; and are seeking autonomy of choice above all else. However, in the prioritization of individual freedoms, the United States has socialized the responsibility for complications of those poor choices. If we are honest with ourselves, we have all succumbed to selectively ignoring the externalities of our poor choices. The only way to gain true freedom; to not be subject to or affected by (a particular undesirable thing), is to not have to rely on a third party in the first place. If freedom means a lack of outside influence on your autonomy, then by default there is an increase in personal responsibility for your choices. It is your freedom to eat whatever you want, to choose not to be active, but if these choices result in increased doctor visits, hospitalizations, more debt and symptoms that restrict your enjoyment in life, how truly free are you? Individual rights should not be inversely related to individual responsibility. <br/><br/>In 1977, Dr John H Knowles, wrote “...This [sic: poor lifestyle choices] is justified as individual freedom–but one man&#39;s freedom in health is another man&#39;s shackles in taxes and insurance premiums. I believe the idea of a &#34;right&#34; to health should be replaced by the idea of an individual moral obligation to preserve one&#39;s own health–a public duty if you will.” Additionally, “the choice is individual responsibility or social failure [sic: plus individual failure]. Responsibility and duty must gain some degree of parity with right and freedom.”<br/><br/>RFKs biggest hurdle is not Big Pharma, it is behavior change and individual autonomy, and that hurdle is only overcome with empathy and understanding and NOT solely Dr. Science. Afterall, information alone does not change behavior. From the individual&#39;s perspective, a career contrarian is not a logical solution to the preservation of one&#39;s health – and as Dr Knowles so clearly elucidated, therein lies the rub – you as an individual have to live with your choices whose outcomes may not be known for years. But it is these choices that should be discussed with an empathetic ear and ultimately respected. 2024-11-15T16:29:20+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd279zu32wvdw6nu8p8frpd09r4u2jz24hnxa0mfezp5lwqtx24vszypfmneukj8c7dcjczpuj2y40ex2p33rl53ttrk2tn8yaa3d09asj2ap20ek .@Bostonwinetimes what is going to be your 100k wine? 2024-11-14T02:31:10+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvl5j2nsqfn7esnltwltf76evaxnxkswcr7qghgy5gsvr98sg2lnszypfmneukj8c7dcjczpuj2y40ex2p33rl53ttrk2tn8yaa3d09asj2j9t4aa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyt9j6ftpc6ktul3e0qrafcwne8fxvq7wlhvwqdfgls485kx7qklc2sndwn'>nevent1q…ndwn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Biased opinion but…<br/><br/><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-progressive-bitcoiner/id1601045370?i=1000555605261">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-progressive-bitcoiner/id1601045370?i=1000555605261</a> 2024-11-01T20:46:03+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx7np32d7vws5t6u228t33adsv4ly7nyyk2vsy2uwmfzld5qfg52qzypfmneukj8c7dcjczpuj2y40ex2p33rl53ttrk2tn8yaa3d09asj23d3pfa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrk5t6xs2h80psddtdqnt6njmr7dh7ujp9dykfv7ds0wwjt6z6nhspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgypnmd7'>nevent1q…nmd7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In light of recent arrests, how important is it for developers to remain anonymous?
