Van Life - Leaving Fiat Behind And Taking the Kids Out Of School! Daz Bea. #578

Once Bitten! A Bitcoin Podcast. · Episode

100+hrs in the water (I didn’t log every session) Went from foamie to a 7’6 mini mal. Went from a full kook to still-a-kook-just-not-quite-full-kook I don’t think there is anything in this world that comes close to surfing. Only 3 weeks left on this epic adventure before I have to head home to no surf, crocodiles and killer jellyfish.

Not bad!!!! So many kms (over 35,000) and so much left to see

Coming up to our 150th caravan site over 200+ nights living in the caravan… Over 32,000km travelled… We just made it back to QLD after spending majority of this time outside our beloved home state… What a ride…. A few more months in the van now but less moving around and no more big drives until December at least. God I love Bitcoin.

Yesterday’s history lesson: Don’t steal bread Port Arthur historical site. Fucking incredible place.

Bravo Gippsland. This is up there with some of the the best milk I’ve ever had…. And that’s a big call, we have some of the best milk around in FNQ

Mallacoota!! Just over the NSW/VIC border, this was our first stop in VIC. Awesome little seaside town. Huge tidal lake system packed full of bream and flathead. VIC had a long weekend we weren’t aware of so ended up staying here longer than we’d liked but it was actually a nice forced holiday from our holiday. A few nice relaxing days of long walks and bike rides and a bit of swimming. There were plenty of kids about so the boys had an absolute ball making new friends. We barely saw them as they were off adventuring, playing in the playground, riding bikes and playing soccer…. Barely a device turned on for 5days….magic A few wild koalas in the trees throughout the park too. Spectacular to see them in the wild which is pretty rare for us Nth Qld’ers. Few big grey kangaroos come down to watch the boys playing soccer. One big boy looked pretty buff.

Thinking about starting a new series called “Things I’ve seen, heard, witnessed and learned in the shared amenities of caravan parks. I have witnessed great and terrible things… 🤯🤢🧐🤔

1month on the road. That went way too quickly!!!

It’s happening… House packed up and cleaned. Tenants moving in today. Living in the van on the front lawn of the in-laws place…. Next step is to finalise fiat-work over the next 3 weeks…taking off in the 1st Feb. Kids home school enrolled and pumped… Wifey, semi-retired and winding down after an epic effort cleaning the house… First major stop South Stradbroke Island Tippler’s Bitcoin Meetup. Playing a gig for a few hours.

Steaks everyday until $110k Who’s in?

Nostr worth thread: Alright, confession time: I live in a climate where “room temperature” means “tropical sauna.” And all I want in life is to be one of those people who casually leaves their butter out on the counter, living the dream of perfectly spreadable toast. 🧈🥲 But no. Here, if I try to let my butter “soften up,” I end up with what can only be described as a butter-flavored Slip ’N Slide, dripping across my countertop, like some greasy tribute to modern art. I mean, I see those Pinterest kitchens with cute little butter dishes on display, and I think, why not me? Why shouldn’t I also live a soft-butter life? So, in a moment of reckless optimism, I tried it — just left my butter out like some carefree influencer. Fast forward 20 minutes, and my kitchen looked like it’d been slimed by a melting butter sculpture. It wasn’t some dreamy “spreadable masterpiece” — it was a shimmering, oily puddle that looked eerily like the floor of my local pub after karaoke night. The butter didn’t even try to hold its shape. It just… surrendered. And let me tell you, cleaning up melted butter is a unique form of suffering. You go in with a paper towel, and the butter just spreads, smearing like it’s taking a final stand against kitchen hygiene. By the end, my countertop was so slippery, it was like trying to mop up an oil spill on an ice rink. So now, I’m back to keeping my butter in the fridge, resigned to the frigid block life. Every morning, I chisel at it like I’m forging a sword, hoping not to crack my toast in half. It’s like trying to butter toast with a frozen stick of deodorant, and let’s just say it’s not the gentle breakfast experience I dream of. To those of you who can leave your butter out year-round, in climates where it’s never in danger of becoming the Exxon Valdez of condiments, I salute you. 🫡 You have no idea how good you’ve got it. So next time you’re casually gliding that flawless curl of butter onto toast, just know that someone out here in the tropics is shaking their fist at a greasy countertop and a rock-hard butter block colder than an eskimo’s nipples during a bath.

Meeting Bitcoiners in real life is the best. H/t you know who you are I was humbled to be a part of your first ever <undisclosed location> meetup.

We have 2 beautiful, smart, whitty funny little boys. My wife desperately wanted more. A little girl to round out the family. I always said no because I didn’t think we could afford it. I worried about sacrificing too much to provide for another. I worried about schooling, I worried about travel, I worried about having an affordable and comfortable lifestyle for all of us. I had a fiat mindset, because I didn’t know any different. I didn’t realise there was a solution that would enable everything we wanted through hard work and time preference. Now, I fear we have left it too late to safely go after what we want due to age. Fiat robbed me and my family of something truly beautiful and I will never forgive or forget.

I just watched Margin Call for the first time while on a flight. I had never before experienced such a feeling of the inevitably of the plane crashing. I feel deeply disturbed right now. The really scary thing is you know this sort of shit goes on each and every day, that there is another inevitable cataclysmic event on the horizon and that 99% of people have no fucking clue what’s coming. Brave for impact…… #bitcoin

It’s gonna be cool to tell your kids you used Nostr when you had to upload media to a website and paste the URL. We’ve come a long way…

Remember when your government stopped you taking your kid to the cafe to have a milkshake, because you didn’t want to take a trial medical procedure with significant evidence to suggest it was neither safe nor effective? Yeah those were fun times.

Over 1/3 of my time was robbed from me last year. They call it tax. This was even after the legitimate and legal deductions I made within the framework of their system. I still get a letter saying I claim “more than is usual for a person of my employment and they will be watching my returns closely this year” and “I better have all my receipts ready”. Criminals.

GM What a glorious day. For we are truly blessed. 🧡
