Yesterday I had to wire some earnest money to a seller since they don't use anything to make it easier and weren't interested in learning. I had to visit my bank to complete the #wiretransfer. It took an hour plus travel time and cost me $25 for the service. I'll need to complete another wire transfer which will total $50 in fees and at least two hours of my life for the balance due when we settle the deal. This morning I transferred over 4x value that the wire transfers will be, I did it from my desk, it took around 15 minutes to settle and it cost me the equivalent of $1.65 in #fiat. It is so obvious that #bitcoin is better than banking and its not even close. #learnbitcoin

Another group of interesting mushrooms from our day of foraging. Not eating these, but they are nice to look at. #mushroom #foraging #outdoors

Chicken of the woods beginning to grow on an old dead elm log. #mushroom #outdoors #foraging

Spent some time foraging in the forest this weekend. Always good for the spirit. Saw some nice mushrooms, some edible, some not, but all interesting to look at. #mushroom #foraging #outdoors

GM Nostr! Yesterday I came across a channel in Rumble by chance called "Life in the 1800s" which contains very interesting recordings of people who lived in the 1800s. This one is of a man that fought in the American War Between the States. To hear a voice reach out through time and tell his story was quite amazing. Listen to the end to hear his perspective on why he fought. His reason isn't the reason I was taught which isn't surprising.#history https://rumble.com/v1bru90-man-born-in-1846-talks-about-the-1860s-and-fighting-in-the-civil-war-restor.

One more John Stewart Mill quote for good measure. The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest. #btc #liberty #grownostr #inthemorning

I had the opportunity to check out some equipment on top of the pagoda at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I took in the view for a bit while I was there. Great views all around Indianapolis. This is the front straight and turn one. #IMS #isitmayyet #indy500 #grownostr
