#nostr is for externalizing the internal. Other social media is for internalizing the external

We need a modern version of the ‘Get a Mac’ ad campaign, but for #nostr. Nostr vs Big Social

The way your message spreads on #nostr is by resonating with other people, which incentivizes authenticity. The way your message spreads on other social media is by appeasing the algorithm, which incentivizes compliance.

Sharing the sunset views from last night #CochiseCounty

The reality is I have no idea what will happen today. Living life with this mindset eliminates anxiety, because I don't have to rush to finish anything, because the future event I'm rushing to get to might not exist. And if I'm not rushing, I can be fully present in my current activity #morningMeditation

Compilation from the amazing lightning display last night ⚡️

Each monsoon sunset feels like a new expression of beauty

Bulletproof mesquite coffee 😋 View quoted note →

Freshly roasted mesquite beans 😋 Benefits of mesquite: -grows like a weed even in this arid environment -doesn’t need additional irrigation, but benefits from rainwater-harvesting earthworks -naturally very tasty and slightly sweet -grown on my property, I didn’t need a car or delivery to get it here -great substitute or addition to coffee The raw beans can also be ground into a flour which requires a more serious grinder, but I hope to do this on a big scale one day. My long term dream was to grow my own food and become self sufficient, so this has been my first taste of that and felt very fulfilling and healing 😌

I think the real question facing Bitcoin is not how do we hodl it, but how do we spend it View quoted note →

Had a great talk with @Desert Dave yesterday. He helped me realize true security in bitcoin is derived from using it as a medium of exchange instead of hoarding it in the hopes the value goes to some dollar amount one day. If you have frequent economic interactions with your friends and neighbors, your physical needs will be met, and your community will be very self-sufficient as a whole. So you don’t need millions of dollars to retire one day, since your interactions with your family and community will take care of you. This is the economy we will try to build in Cochise County, AZ!
