You're a good dude, Hodl 🫂
Try going through the beginning of a divorce when we were at the bottom and you went all in on Bitcoin and mining equipment at the top lmao! True story though, smh 🤦♂️
i think we lack mentors more than just listeners
You probably don't need to go to the gym everyday /insert I'm doing my part meme
Stay humble, stack zaps
lol bro from the bottom of my heart that fucking sucks
That’s true. As long as you’re eating right even twice a week is enough.
💯
Being honest and a open about it, is not a sign of weakness. It’s the opposite.
🧡🫂
Choose to do hard things so we can endure through the hard things. 🤙🏽

Much love hermanos 🤍

Individuals with low time preferences find it easy to hodl bitcoin, eat healthily, exercise frequently, and follow good principles because they receive positive feedback over time.
True, but doing some sort of recreational activity every day is good for mental health
At least walking outside at a minimum
Everything nowadays is FUCKING HARD!!
Upward spiral
I got you guys, this entire place got you.
Likewise y’all
I had an old German professor in college who would every so often sternly look us in the eye and say:
“So ist das Leben, hart *aber* brutal”
“Such is life, hard *but* brutal”
Didn’t mean much at 19, but it’s grown on me since!!
Proper man things bro. Real proper.
A worthwhile life is supposed to be hard. Gotta hold each other up. The difficulty is the universe gift to us. It purifies us in the fire that burns away our enemies.
Thanks for being a chad bro.

Maybe some of the people who actually serve me, and they actual service can understand that I know how to speak to dudes I lived with you guys for years 🫶

Just need a good corner man. That’s the key.
Group hug bros. Think we may need a group hug.

saying this
i need a mentor
Or sis ✌️
im here too but it'll cost you to get my refined spiritual canings and beatdowns of your victimhood and illusions:

😂 thabks for zapping HODL & Karnage
Initially I found the idea of "Low time preference" very hard to digest. I felt like letting time pass is equal to wasting time. It took me almost half an year to digest the fact that the time will be passing anyway!
Hit me up if you need to talk, I'm here.
View quoted note →I gotchu. Hit me up if you need someone to talk to as well. I have my own issues too. We can help one another. 🫂💜🤙🏻

👊keep punchin
Sorry to hear brotha. Time helps, especially with coin
STAY HARD!!!!!!
This is what us plebs are for
View quoted note →so since no one else dropped bro poetry. I am gonna share my favorite bro poet.
Khalil Gibran.
On Pain

On Pain
And a woman spoke, saying, Tell us of Pain.
I would argue that even with all the help you can get, it still can be really hard. But eventually it all boils down to your decisions.
Not enough mentors. Not enough willing plebs to be a mentor; its fucking hard. I prefer in person best but limited for obvious reasons.
And honestly as a Freemason, this is what the journey is all about. Just Brotherly Love, Relief for your fellow man, and Truth.
Being a new apprentice you need a guiding light, and that's what the experienced elders are for. Same for us plebs here
Big Love all thank you for posting everyone
RIP Len
And all our fellow devs who we lost to their own personal battles
You have no idea what real hard is, yet. But you probably will.
View quoted note →Yuup. Therapy has helped with some of the harder stuff but the day to day still adds up.
Sometimes a gentleman just needs some time to reflect on his thoughts while enjoying a good whisky and a perfect cigar.
What an awesome note 👏 thank you 💜
Looks like a long list of things worth the effort. 🤙🏻
Athlete of LIFE mindset ON! This is an ultramarathon on steroids that if we dont train like athletes for it in BODY, Mind and Spirit, we sink. here to support with that if it resonates and feel drawn.
I like that perspective
🤙🫂
I feel I like you
Here to listen too!!!!
These threads are why I love my #nostr #bitcoin friends. Real men trying to be there for each other. 🤘💪🫂
sucrefice 🔥 i'll be using that 🤝
It is fucking hard but you know what if it wasnt hard you would have less appreciation care and concern. If it wasnt hard every fucking body you know and their mother would be doing it! So as long you know where to invest your time, Fucking Hard is Fucking Worth It!
100% agreed
Thanks for being there to help. The existing services are shit. Crisis lines are overstretched with long wait times, insufficient number of volunteers, inexperienced volunteers who sound like they are reading clichés out of a training manual.
Ever since Canada introduced MAID, I've wanted to contribute to suicide prevention (something better than shitty crisis lines) when bitcoin goes to the moon. I don't even have to wait. It was so easy to just zap this thread. Bitcoin, Nostr fixes everything.
People like this is what the world needs.
View quoted note →Absolutely. Cutting back on sugar helps a lot. 😅
Thanks bro, that’s life. At least I have my BTC to help ease the pain lol!
Thank you. So true, and Hodling my BTC will help ease the stress at least 🤷♂️
Bro, real talk my penis no longer works. I just got a RX for the blue pill. Could you please stop triggering me with all of the "fucking hard"
FML!!!
Tough! Hope you are doing well and finding your stride now.
🫂💪🏼
My wife wants a stoic man.
Being stoic 99% of the time is impossible.
… also, I tear up when people sing in public. I can’t watch shows like American Idol. I get embarrassed for the participants, even when they are exceptional.
Fake it till ya make it.
I need a tequila.
Friends, nostr doesn't fix this. Spend less time on internet devices as a means of connecting. Instead, use it as a coordination tool to cultivate in person friendships. How? Go to meetups, join a sports/hobby group. Make the effort. It's worth it.
Christian men, invite brothers to lunch on a weekday or invite families over after church. Exercise the grace of hospitality. Potlucks are great because everyone can contribute and help out. Christian fellowship is a means of grace, so avail yourselves to it.
Yes I am healing the initial trauma thank you. It’s amazing the benefits of a combo of micro dosing, affirmations, therapy and meditation can do for your soul!
I second your offer!
Thanks for always leading
@HODL ✊
Thanks
@HODL Appreciate it bro. Same here for everyone.
Shrooms is what listens to me.
🍄🍄🟫🍄
Fantastic article. Thanks so much for sharing
All y’all are solid AF ♡
I bought a microwave not too long ago that had a ONE month warranty. They made microwaves in the 60's that would easily go 30-40 years. Atlas Shrugged is as relevant today as it ever was.
lol thought I was making a new post. Anyway, appreciate you @HODL. Fighting the good fight.
I'm In this siace becayse I've weathered many stir s as I ebter my 6th decade.
my whole philosophy is the dusvioline in the climb - is fucking hard.
The fact we are here experiencing it - is the miracle.
#nostr right now has softer edges...that's a good thing - because even this platform is going to get fucking hard.
what a time to be alive! 💜
This is so excellent.
I am 27 year Patient Advocate for Cancer. That is my passion and way of giving back to help those diagnosed with a terrible disease. In those 27 years, and having a brother in law with debilitating mental health issues - Bi Polar with Schizoaffective Disorder, the other BIL died by suicide. Depression - even though there is slow progress in cancer we are so far behind with Mental Health.
Talking about it with others is great but we are in the dark ages, much like being in the dark by not embracing Nuclear Power. We need a Nuclear Power level push for the Mentally Ill. My brother in law is known to the Seventh Floor Lockdown at HCMC in Minneapolis. One day, with their backs to me, I simply leaned in to speak through the little slot at the bottom of the bullet proof glass to say one thing.
"Thank you. Thank you for what you are doing for these patients as families like ours are not capable of providing this type of care you do. "
What they did and said next blew my mind, they all turned around slowly to stare at me. One said:
"I have been here 20 years and no one has ever thanked me."
That is sad. Our society needs to change in so many ways, starting with compassion.
Especially for the mentally ill. I applaud you and if anyone has a terrible cancer diagnosis. I can help. For free like I always have, I am grateful for the nurses and the doctors for saving/extending my wife's life from an incurable Stage IVb diagnosis when she was then 31.
We are all one blood test away or one episode away from your family being devastated. I am happy to pay for my high Medical Premiums. Stop bitching. Be grateful.
Peace.
Easy choices, hard life.
Hard choices, easy life.
View quoted note →You a real one HODL 🤙 therapy isn’t necessary when you have a core group. And I appreciate you talking about what everyone else is thinking.
🤘 rock on
Saw this on Nostr some days ago. Resonates.

You've gotta find pleasure in the small details of life otherwise it gets very overwhelming. You're not alone bro, you're right though it is not easy right now.🫂
Fiat normies around everywhere, so fucken hard. Only forgiveness and patience.
I wasn't expecting to agree with every single point you made but man....life really has been difficult lately. Still stacking though....
Met what I thought was my dream girl recently and she shot me down hard.
I've been staying strong with most of the rest of what you said, but finding a good partner has been a struggle. I'm going to continue working on myself. The rest will fall into place. Thanks for being a homie 🤙
One of the best on here.
Purple treasure.

To the guys, you are not alone. Men's mental health is often overlooked. Your Nostr Bros are here to lend an ear. Please reach out if you need to talk to someone.

View quoted note →Good strategy. FWIW my experience was that women in their 30s (the smart ones) stop trying to chase the bad boy and start focusing on the good men. Work on yourself and keep putting yourself out there.
