This year started off good. I’ve learned a lot, took a deeper dive into the BTC LN aspect of ownership and self sovereignty. I have more to learn, and, I am excited about it. I think how much things have changed in my life to this point. When I grew up; you actually needed a TVGuide to know what’s on TV (10 channels in NYC). BTC is moving super fast and is an enormous instrument of change. (Going to be interesting 🧐). I plan on sticking around as long a possible; see how much of this change I can witness!

I enjoy Dante and definitely Rustin. I won’t sell ever, I paid in Sats to transfer Sats to set up a node and connect it to a wallet and this app. Write now I don’t want to lose Sats in any way. Today my stack shrank by 40k, I just hope setting up a Node to hook to this app was worth it? I’m not wealthy just a humble old man working through this life hoping to stay as long as possible and see how this all unfolds. I think now it’s still necessary to be increasing your stack not depleting it! If I can break even with Damus and it’s Wallet, I’d be cool with that? It seems like college; I had to pay to get in and then I had to work and spend time there to get something back hopefully something back I could use to earn a living later. Not sure how I do that here? Either way you need to pay to send Sats. It seems if you want to transact as privately as possible then you will need to start using Sats on a node. It would seem I had this 40k thing wrong that’s the cost of doing business. Everyone needs a node! I need a node, I want to transfer and receive Sats directly with the person in front of me.
