Today I woke up to find that after 4 years of slumber, that I am still decentralized, permissionless, immutable, censorship-resistant, trustless, peer-to-peer, open-source, borderless, store of value, programmable, irreversible, transparent, secure, distributed, resilient, finite-supply, permissionless, sovereign. I am a sat stacked among others protected by my master who believed in me long enough to not trade me. Like a coffee plant, it took me 4 years to prove the patience was worth it. Although my value is not as high as it was appreciated somewhere in the last 4 years, it does not make me less valuable from whence I was bought. And if I were to be traded in now, I served my master well by not only what I bring to him now, but the healthier values practiced by him to become a better human being for those around him. #bitcoin #photography #philosophy #mindfulness #stacksats

The kind of signs that always bring me a smile 🙂 @bitcoinhousebali has been strong in their community work 💪 #bitcoin #indonesia

I’ve even heard of price fixing by socially pressuring other owners in Indonesia to not increase the wages so that they don’t have to pay more. And it’s not just foreigners. I think it’s worth investigating who is getting the money and a 5 minute check might help to clarify if that’s the business you want to support. View quoted note →

All new things come from change. The change you want comes by practicing it… and what happens when you master your practice? You become it. But not what you practice for, but how. #photography #philosophy #mindfulness

“…look at human things as smoke and nothing at all; especially if thou reflectest at the same time that what has once changed will never exist again in the infinite duration of time. But thou, in what a brief space of time is thy existence? And why art thou not content to pass through this short time in an orderly way?” #marcusaurelius In short, this too will pass, so will you, and nothing will repeat itself as it was. Your life is so special that it is only made once. Enjoy it as the gift it was given to you. #photography #philosophy #mindfulness

“Thou canst remove out of the way many useless things among those which disturb thee, for they lie entirely in thy opinion; and thou wilt then gain for thyself ample space by comprehending the whole universe in thy mind, and by contemplating the eternity of time, and observing the rapid change of every several thing, how short is the time from birth to disso-lution, and the illimitable time before birth as well as the equally boundless time after dissolution.” #marcusaurelius #photography #philosophy #mindfulness

“Every man is worth just so much as the things are worth about which he busies himself” #marcusaurelius Observe the things you work on, you worry on… this time and energy you spend on it either elevates you… or keeps you where you are at. #photography #philosophy #mindfulness

Years from now, you will forget what you worried about today, and likely also, forget the times you sought peace... But which you practiced more, becomes the default in what you do each time your environment tries to become louder than the reality around you. Stack sats, sure, but also stack quiet moments. Remove anything not helping you build towards more peace. Your mind is a sacred temple, don't let it come cheap to just anything enter it. #photography #philosophy #mindfulness #bitcoin

CP Grey promoting constantly #bitcoin in this video... How did I miss it 9 years ago?? The video humbles you in realizing the politics are not as simple as you think.

Of all the challenges you meet today and throughout your life, no matter how successful or burnt down to the ground it devastated you... "to bear it nobly is good fortuna". #photography #philosophy #mindfulness #marcusaurelius
