Time is constant. But our orientation to it isn’t. In this video are 3 perspectives living within a singular constant: 🐾 The dog thinks she’s leading the pack-hunting for her next meal. 🌿 @Logan Marie walks peacefully in the present. 📸 I’m behind the lens — wondering what this moment reveals. Bitcoin is like this: It doesn’t demand attention. It doesn’t bark or beg. It simply waits — for us to stop chasing, and start seeing. 👀

🧵 1/ “What’s the price of Bitcoin?” This was my first question when I first was curious of Bitcoin. A thread on how Bitcoin shattered my measuring stick — and what that means for truth, time, and freedom 👇 #Bitcoin #Freedom #Truth

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 🤔 image
