how to spot a based traveler if you are TSA

What's the best book you've read so far this year?

Bitcoiner, listen up: DON’T BE A COWARD. Everyone who believes in bitcoin has spent years being mocked, insulted, and even accused of being a scammer. Now, with bitcoin hitting new all-time highs, it’s tempting to remember those who talked nonsense to you and rub it in their faces. But then you think: “Showing off and acting arrogant isn’t cool. I don’t want to come across as conceited. My mom taught me to be humble… I’ll just let it go.” Or maybe you don’t even remember those insignificant people. Some even say, “Wow, Arata, I wish I could be as zen and calm as you! But I find it weird to see you on Nostr and X being so toxic toward people who don’t understand bitcoin.” But let me tell you something: Don’t be a coward! This is bitcoin, dammit! And bitcoin is different. This time, you SHOULD NOT let it go. Do you know why? Because those who talked nonsense about bitcoin not only made an expensive mistake for themselves. They also HARMED the entire world. Think about all the good people who could have protected their wealth using bitcoin but held back because of the nonsense spouted by financial influencers, politicians, bankers, and others tied to the old financial system. So many people could have turned their lives around for the better. It’s a matter of logical reasoning! It’s not some emotional, reality-twisting argument by virtue-signaling activists. Even some influencers (well-meaning but stubborn and clueless) just needed a bit of humility and intellectual curiosity to get it. But what did they do? THEY were the arrogant ones, refusing to learn about bitcoin. They chose to mock, make stupid jokes, and ignore the obvious. Now, they’re paying the price. And there’s more: All their nonsense delayed bitcoin adoption. This means they helped keep the fiat system (government money) alive. And do you know what the fiat system does? It keeps people poor, enslaves them with debt, and supports a model that destroys lives. So here’s the message: DON’T BE A COWARD! Don’t let laziness or politeness stop you from speaking the truth. Show those financial influencers how badly they messed up. Show them the magnitude of their mistake. Expose those who DELIBERATELY LIED to people, spreading misinformation about bitcoin because of CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. They need to understand that what they’re defending is a broken system, while bitcoin is changing everything. You’re doing the right thing by rubbing it in their faces. You’re not just being toxic. You’re actually helping the world. Being “toxic” toward enemies is being kind, courageous, and generous. Rubbing the truth in their faces isn’t arrogance. It’s simply opening their eyes to reality. The sooner they realize their mistake, the sooner we can move past this unjust system where State and Money are intertwined, harming the world. WE NEED TO SEPARATE STATE FROM MONEY. And if that causes tears and gnashing of teeth? So be it. Everyone deserves to reap what they sow—or fail to sow. Government currency has never been more pathetic. It has never been worth so little. And every minute they cling to this broken system, they’re losing the chance to change their lives. Here’s the truth: Either they wake up now, or they’ll keep suffering. (Inspired by a wonderful tweet by Professor Saifedean)

Rudeness is the imitation of strength by the weak. Insults try to fake courage, but deep down, it’s just a disguise for insecurity. Those who are truly strong don’t need to attack or humiliate, because real strength lies in the calm and confidence of someone who knows they don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

Anybody tried Van Leeuwen ice cream? Ingredient list is impressive

Hey @npub1aghr...mhct I have 3 different keys. This one (English), another for Portuguese and another for Spanish. When running Nostr Relay, I would like to be able to add all 3 keys. Would this be possible? Or maybe run 3 separate instances of the app (less efficient)?

Hi @npub1xtsc...kk5s you know how much I love @npub18m76...q955 - this is why I ask please check how @primal did their wallet and one-tap zaps. Can we have the same here???

You say “Great! Thanks!” to AI. It’s probably out of politeness—or maybe you’re playing it safe in case of a future robot apocalypse. I say “Great! Thanks!” to refine the AI’s training, improve its memory, and get better outputs next time. We are not the same.

YOUR ANGER COMES FROM WITHIN A monk decided to meditate in peace in the middle of a lake. He closed his eyes and surrendered to the silence. Suddenly, he felt another boat bump into his. With anger building up, he opened his eyes, ready to rant all over Xwitter. Who was the idiot crashing into boats? The lake was supposed to be enjoyable. But then he noticed the boat that hit him was empty. In that moment, he understood: The anger was within him. After that, whenever someone tried to provoke him, he remembered the other person was just an “empty boat.” Anger always comes from within.

Things are not getting worse. They are getting more obvious (to you). The NPCs are not yet noticing. Act accordingly.

THE VOTE IS THE WEAPON OF THE PEOPLE! Hahaha, wake up, kiddo. Your vote is worthless. Do you really think your vote in an election with millions of voters… just one vote really makes a difference? Childish. One vote is like a drop in the ocean. Sure, it might have emotional value for you, but that’s an immature way of looking at the world. Rational adults understand that the real impact of an individual vote is minimal. Hold on, kid. I’m not telling you not to vote. But while you’re getting all emotional about the next election, you’re ignoring what really matters: your daily decisions. Let me ask you: When was the last time you learned something that truly boosts your chances of success? These choices, like improving your skills or saving money, have a much bigger impact on your life than any vote. Be honest. Who controls your life more, you or a politician? Spending hours discussing politics or getting upset over the news won’t bring you anything. But learning something new or improving your financial health will. Imagine using that time to learn how to protect your money (anyone thinking of bitcoin?) or starting a project that actually changes your life. Before you waste time on politics, look at your own house. Did you make your bed? Is your desk organized? Don’t try to fix the world if you can’t even fix your own space. Instead of wasting 30 minutes arguing on social media, use that time for something that will improve your life right now. Every time you argue online or spend hours watching the news, you’re wasting time. And time is something you never get back. What gets results? Learning something useful, taking care of your health, or improving your finances. That’s what changes the game for you. Real freedom doesn’t come from an election. It comes from having protected money, valuable skills, and the ability to move if needed. That’s what we call “voting with your feet.” Trading your energy for personal growth is what gives you real power. Instead of focusing only on national politics, think: how can you improve your life locally? Yes, elections matter, but are they the best use of your time? Or would it be better to invest in yourself right now? In the end, spending your energy on politics while ignoring your personal development is a bad choice. Powerful groups and celebrities can move thousands of votes more than you can with your single vote. Your vote doesn’t really matter that much, mathematically speaking. So, focus on what you can control: your skills, your finances, your relationships. Every minute you spend worrying about what you can’t change is a minute wasted. And that time could be invested in building a future where you have control, no matter what happens out there. Your time is limited. Don’t waste it on politics. The most important vote you cast is the one you make for yourself, every single day.

You trust politicians, brands and institutions. I trust Internet autists with anime pfp. We are not the same.

Hello, baby👶🏼. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT WEAK LEADERS AND START FIXING YOUR OWN WEAKNESS. The more frustrated you are with a weak leader, the more it reflects your own weakness. Stop ranting about how others failed you. Let it go. Toughen up. Grow up, baby. Build your own strength, and become the person you no longer need help from.
