An Open and Evolving Reflection I’d rather be fiat poor and truth rich Than fiat rich and time poor. I trade illusions for sovereignty, Comfort for clarity, Fear for freedom. Let others chase yield. I choose peace. Let others climb ladders. I choose ground to stand on. My wealth is not in digits but in days well-lived. My value is not in what I own, but what I no longer fear losing. I do not serve money—I steward truth. Let my time belong to love, to purpose, To building what lasts beyond currency. And if I am wrong— If Bitcoin fails and the system wins— I will still have lived honestly, And that is a richer life than any fiat can offer.

We started house sitting out of necessity. Sold everything. No rent. No roadmap. One cat. Then a dog. Eventually horses and goats. 🐐 We didn’t want to consume—we wanted to contribute. That’s why Bitcoin and Nostr made sense too. No gatekeepers. No middlemen. Just people helping people. Turns out, freedom works best peer-to-peer. 🫂

House & pet sitting has changed mine and @Logan Marie lives. In the past 2+ years: • 10+ countries • 10+ states in US • 50+ animals cared for • Countless friendships made We got started through the big platforms—and we’re grateful for them. But over time, we began to notice something: • The platforms took the credit • Our reviews stayed locked inside their system • Our value was shaped by their rules Meanwhile, the real value was in the people. We’ve traded trust for shelter. Time for community. Care for connection. And it’s made us ask: What if more people could live this way? What if trust could flow peer to peer? Brainstorming now how could this be built in collaboration with @primal and @nostr.build 🤔

Any guidance would be appreciated! Introduced to bitcoin in 2021. Hodlr since 2024. New to Primal/Nostr. Interested in building a bitcoin future. @Jeff Booth quote “8 billion people in service of 8 billion people” is my North Star. Reading/listening to podcasts daily. @Robert Breedlove @Bitcoin Infinity Media @BTC Sessions @walker some of my favorites pods (recs welcome!). @Logan Marie and I travel the world looking after peoples homes/pets. #nomadic I want to contribute to the world in an impactful way. Fiat isn’t it.
