#Nostrasia starts in three days and also marks the day I'm starting at an amazing Bitcoin organization! Which one could it be... Leaving in two days for Tokyo!

I'm not sure if it's culturalbor part of rural living, but people in the countryside of Japan seem far more focused on making a reasonable living instead of trying to make as much money as possible. They also seem happier. It is giving me a lot to think about. I felt trapped in my occupation because of the high cost of supporting my family and the debt I had to service. Our debt and cost of living is much lower now and I feel like I can finally try to help in the Bitcoin and Nostr space, even if I don't make much money.

I buy whatever is in season direct from my local farmers in Japan. They set up little roadside stalls where each item is 100 yen. That's about $1 AUD / $.65 USD - its an honor system as no one is at the stall. Here's today's purchases - daikon, okra, chestnuts and wildflowers. We've also been buying cucumber, green capsicum and eggplant. All delicious!

Impressive - Bitcoin Island presentation on how they signed up 300 businesses.

Ten year old video but it explains the complexities of our monetary system, inflation and why it will eventually fail.
