am I the only one thinks riding a horse is way cooler than driving a car?

Turkish way of simple happiness: yemek, müzik, sanat ve aile. ( food, music, art, and family ) It's really interesting to see how certain values are seemingly not preferred or even bad in other cultural settings; I'm not necessarily saying what's right or wrong, but it's good to see what *actually* makes people deeply happy.

Sunday fun 🍪

I'm constantly amazed by how skilled people are here, and a girl I met two days ago told me that because it's hard to find jobs here, people need to learn how to *produce*; for example, she picked all these flowers in the mountain and packaged them to sell, so cool. Then you have many people who are living in big cities, earning a monthly salary ( the so-called safety ), living an artificial life even with many debts, and then spend most of their time thinking about what to consume because they need to treat themselves better compensating for doing a job they hate and look better than others - spend more and work harder to spend even more! Honestly, I think the first thing one needs to think about is how to be your own boss instead of being bossed around if you really want to be a sovereign individual, Bitcoin is only a tool to help - it's when you being responsible for yourself can set you free, learn how to create and produce instead of selling your precious time.

I have been watching this beauty for about a week now, not only does it close at nights, but it can also handle heavy rains - beautiful and strong, love it! ( the first was taken this afternoon, and the second was taken when it was getting dark. ) Nature never ceases to amaze you. 🌼

only dead fish go with the flow. 🐟 it's really interesting seeing the fishes swimming against the current:)

Ideas for Bitcoiners leveling up romance 🎩 Sending sats over LN, with a fun message guiding how to find a handwritten love letter. ( real POW, and it's way more thoughtful than giving flowers )

Are you having FOMO these past few days? Fear of missing out on low fees.

Once you figure out how something works, then learn how to simplify it - when you can simplify it without affecting the "performance" ( e.g. with fewer tools or less setups ), it means you really *understand* it. Doing more with less is the way.

a good kebab operation day, IYKYK. 👀⚡️

Some of the fun I've tested last night ⚡️ 1. Claimed natalia@cashu-address.com, zap some sats and receive in @eNuts ⚡️🌰, smooth. You can do the same here: https://app.cashu-address.com/, built by @Egge, and don't be reckless when you do the tests! I'm still trying to figure out the best user case for this address, maybe I will test it in Nostr for a while - you are helping to test it whenever you zap me here:) 2. Played around with minting in LNbits. Everyone can be a banker now: LNbits - Cashu - new Mint, but you need to *earn trust* to be one, instead of asking permissions from any authorities. What a time to be alive:)

Who would build the road? Bitcoiners - they might even write you a map with all the tips and tricks, or even teach you how to build it; One of the things I really admire about Bitcoiners is how self-driven some of them are. Toxic ( honesty ) from the outside but deep down really caring or even loving from the inside, yet most people are easily fooled by the wools in sheep's clothing...

testing @eNuts ⚡️🌰 it's quite cool, and it reminds me how some people use their own "chips" to pay for tea and other things as value exchange ( within a small area ) , but you should only do these with people you trust.

I used to wear black or darker color clothes when I was living in cities, not sure exactly why now that I think about it, but maybe that's the safer color when you order online, or perhaps that's one of the colors always available in most shops... It reminded me how in some cities you mostly see people wearing black, especially in winter, quite depressing and cold. Now I'm a bit "adventurous" wearing brighter colors, well, it's hard not to when you are being shown different beauties along the way during daily walks, it really brightens up your moods. 🌼

a simple but delicious drink!

I think cooking every day on top of working/learning can be quite tiring, sharing some of the hacks I've learned so far: - wash and cut all the ingredients after buying them - cook more, then put some of them into the fridge - precook some of the ingredients that take time to prepare, like chickpeas, so they can come in handy later on What's your meal panning hack? 👀

Once you see it, you can't unsee it 😂 - stacking kebab is the way!

How to Free Yourself 1. Learn about Bitcoin EVERYDAY. 2. Figure out how to free your time, aka create leverage for your work, e.g. coding, writing, creating. 3. Use all the extra time that you have to think about what you want in life. 4. Focus on stacking those skills which are needed to make *what you want* happen. 5. Share or teach what you've learned throughout the way and inspire others. 6. More learning = more sharing = more sats. Advancing level: study natural law and understand yourself - you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop.

Many people wait for things to happen or for someone else to solve problems for them, and that's what creates miseries in the first place - you should take the matter into your own hands, it's called self-responsibility, and that is what can ultimately set you free.
