The Great American Road Trip 2025. White Sands National Park, New Mexico. Feels like you’re on another planet.

GM Nostr Carlsbad Caverns. New Mexico. Truly a wild journey into the depths of the earth.

The other day I walked up to a small burger stand in Alpine, TX to ask if they accepted cards. She said no, but she accepted cash, barter, and bitcoin. I usually seek out vendors that accept bitcoin, but this one was completely by chance. First time that’s happened to me. She only accepted on-chain payments through a static QR, but I was happy to use it. I told her about lightning, but she said she doesn’t want a cell phone, which I respect. But hopefully one day she’ll accept lightning for faster processing and privacy. Anyway, she totally gets it and saves any bitcoin she gets in cold storage. And it was truly one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. High quality beef, homemade buns, and raw milk cheddar. If you ever find yourself in Alpine, TX (Big Bend region of Texas), grab a burger at Bock Burger and send her some sats. I told her about @BTC Map so hopefully you’ll be able to find her on there soon.

GM Nostr. Spend some sats to celebrate the day.

I’m a complete noob when it comes to actually reading Mises. Starting down the rabbit hole with The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science. I’m pleasantly surprised to see how much he has to say about epistemology.

GM Nostr. Recently turned 40. Left my job. And I’m embarking on a 3 month road trip. I believe they call this a midlife crisis. I’m calling it a temporary retirement while I figure out what I’m drawn to work on next. I was feeling stuck and stagnant. The plan is to design a self-study curriculum on the things I feel called to. Stay sharp while introducing the novelty of new surroundings on the road trip. The soul craves it. The soul craves to be unstuck.

It’s a good day to buy something with sats.

GM Nostr Bitcoin Lake, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Stay humble. Zap sats.

Coming back to this essay as I approach a crossroads in my career path. Do I compromise or move forward with integrity? Grateful for @FRANCIS - BULLBITCOIN.COM taking the hard path and leading by example.

Guys, I..um, I came for the uh…..cypher punk revolution? 🫠🙃

GM Nostr. Woke up today with intentionality and did the things I know I should be doing. Kept my phone on sleep mode for first hour of the day. Stretched, meditated, hydrated, made some coffee, and read an important book. I know very well that I must be intentionally ordering my psyche. But the pull of legacy social media knocks me out of that. I’ve found myself reaching for my phone as I wake. And this is sabotaging my day from the get go. Time to remember what I always knew and take care to order my psyche. Have a blessed day and spend some sats.

GM Nostr. Have a blessed day. Focus on what’s important. Spend some sats.
