Like wasting time writing this? 😉 or all the cumulative time spent on nostr …
I was reborn at 50 when I started stacking sats and fell down the rabbit hole so i'm actuallly only 8
I'm 30 but I already feel like I wasted ⅔ of my life.
You're doing just fine, you're stacking sats and are on Nostr. You're way ahead at 30
The devil want you to dwell in the past and long for the future... Don't fall for it!
"The Present is the point at which time touches eternity."
-C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters
"The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah"

Exactly why you shouldn’t give a fuck what other people say or think.
Once we stop trying to play a role in a production we never agreed to be a part of, life gets an order of magnitude easier
I don’t know about all that. I have a few years on me and, looking back, feel I’ve made the best choices I could with the information I had at the time.
Reading this is encouraging because I'm finally winding down from 9 hours of work in the sun doing dirt work on my off grid homestead where I'm raising children to fear God, not man, and to build a life, not make excuses.

Friendly reminder that you’re currently dying and this moment is the youngest you’ll ever be and your inevitable death is rapidly approaching and you’re likely stuck in a midlife delusion where you think what you’re doing is important and integral and it’s likely something that you’ll look back on at the end of your life and feel was ultimately pointless and wasted time and you’ll want it back and wish you weren’t so delusional in your 20’s, 30’s and 40’s because now that you’re old the pain of regret is crushing you like a boulder on your chest and you find yourself unable to move from under it. Omg you wasted all your time and there’s no going backwards. The delusion is gone, all you can do is sit in the regret. Why didn’t you say what you really thought? Why didn’t you do what you wanted to do? Whose life were you living? Why did you let them convince you to live it? How could you have been so misguided and delusional? How could you have been such a coward? but then you realize you’re on nostr and you’re still youngish and there’s still time and you just suddenly WAKE UP.

Unfortunately this is all too common a feeling for many, but only you can change your life 💪🏽
Hmmmm .... can't relate to this one at all, other than the Nostr rocks bit.
We have a lot of kids. Good life. No regrets.

Has someone been reading Ecclesiastes?
The reality of capitalism, if you don't have a plan, you become part of someone else's plan. Some people are just wired to do one or the other.
At least if you're part of someone else's plan, you can stack sats with the payoff.
My dog died today so this rant hits deep
Everything in life is a learning lesson.
So to create the illusion they simply needed their BIG LIE to last for 3 generations.
You needed to control the influence of The People.
Did you not learn from your mistakes?
Maybe, that was also part of the lesson.
Look at that as a WIN!
Each Generation has it's own problems.
Humans are straight up problem solvers that build huge tools in order to adapt.
Under ground or space?
Such a great book
This is why I live my life contrarian to most people
I was buying more bitcoin at the time.
Memento mori ⚜️
So sorry. It sucks so much having gone through it recently
You’re doing it right. It’s good to not relate.
Okay fine, I'll go and tell people I love them
So I should buy the Lambo
That’s why I use #Bitcoin as a tool and not my identity……..
Ah crap I don’t want to think about how I am wasting my life… now I am going to need to go scroll on X for a few hours until I forget about this.
The only reason I’m on NOSTR is because you are no longer on X. Thanks for what you do. Great to meet you in Las Vegas that morning.
Yeah, it’s an important message. I feel after talking to many here that we are, for the most part, exempt. Self-reflection should be practiced daily. Reflect —> Learn —> Grow —> Repeat.
It was great catching up man. Love the pic of the family!
This is why you’re my spirit animal
What I do is take my actuarial based, life expectation, subtract my age, and multiply by 12. THIS GIVES ME my months left to live.
For example: Life expectancy is 77 for a white male, he is 45, 77-45= 32. 32 ×12 = 384 months to live.
good question for yourself
what would you do NOW if you had 2 years left to live?
Thank you. Best perspective to have on life
Wait.. how is right now the youngest you’ll ever be? The day you were conceived is the youngest you’ll ever be, technically.
Should say youngest you’ll ever be again
The same thing I do now. Spend time with my family.
❤️
Spiritual man. I dig it. ⚡️👍🏼
It’s a shame I didn’t find you in my early 20s lol
Still got plenty of time ahead of me God willing, and magic internet money helps claw back some of the wasted time
I think you could use a vacation
lol just got back from one
life itself doesn't have any meaning, it come from oneself.
it's like a captain choosing between driving a plane with autopilot or drive by himself.
same destination, totally different trip.
@HODL always coming in with the hot takes that are too fire to even come close to. Love it.
“Get busy living. Or get busy dying”
Love it

Omg I’m alive today
Death as an advisor is a powerful thing at every stage of life. Recognizing the present moment as a gift, that some day will be your last and you never know which day that will be, gives power to your choices fueled by gratitude and scarcity.

I am writing on Nostr. How is that a waste of time 😃
🙏🏻 Preach away brother 👊🏻
A good reminder that with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, you can extend your ability to compound your existence.
Let’s take the organe pill and wake up! Great post from
@HODL Thanks!

I'm reminded of Bezo's "Regret minimisation framework", something like, when making important decisions go with the one that will potentially lead to less regret
“You’re not really living,unless you have something to die for”
Fucking brilliant!
View quoted note →Good wisdom.
I I wanted to visit an old friend today. I was worried because she hadn't replied in four weeks. So, we decided to pay her a surprise visit. When we arrived, we only met her husband. He told us that she had died four weeks ago, but he hadn't had a chance to inform us because he didn't have our contact information. She was the one who took care of the contacts.
This was especially painful since I wanted to introduce her to my newborn child.
Life is short, and we always forget to live in the moment.
Perfect message for my friend in his 40s and saying he doesn’t ”care” about bitcoin price going higher. I would say bitcoin will not care about him either. Because he will not matter anymore.

Appreciate that. Sorry you had to as well. Dogs are like a part of the family, and the more meaningful they were the more it hurts losing them 💔
NOSTR is the new corvette.
NO IM NOT, FUCK YOU.
OVER MY DEAD BODY
Death is integral to life. If death is pushed back as if you are valuing your time to live your life, you will not enjoy living your life. Instead you will struggle with your time to make best out of it. Time will never let you feel that you got the best out of it. Misery ensues.
If you see every moment of life as equal to death, time doesn't play havoc with you. You accept death in equal measures of life. You live with the full awareness of death happening to you every moment and you still enjoy living with surrenderand gratitude to the existence.
Gratitude and love are the keys to happiness and courage.
Eventually death becomes illusory and you have no fear of anything. The risks you have taken so far in life pay you back with fearlessness and the energy of death vanishes. Time is then infinitely available to you.
So thankful I’m still young! I’ll stack some more sats right now!
Therefore seize the moment
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 🎯
This was a fun read. A whole story embedded in it:
First, the non-stop barrage of adjectives. Then the discovery of punctuation. Then the mastery of it. The application of the Socratic method follows until, finally, internet speech.
It do be facts, tho.
I’m glad you picked up on the meta of consciously evolving run on sentence lol
No pain no gain. We have duties outside ourselves and families too - things no one else will do that can reduce suffering broadly. Just make sure you're spending time wisely
Great post , thank you for following

Every day, new choices await 🤝
I think you got it right the first time. "You will" always means the future.
None of it is fool’s errand done in vain. Just like markets, a person’s life path doesn’t follow a straight line.
Volatility is indeed vitality.
A whole lot of failing is essential for progress to occur.
Wow
tldr: stop optimizing for your 80 yr old self bc life is happening now
Holy shit
#mementoMori
All fine and dandy, but a brotha gotta eat. No regrets for starved to death men.
I quite agree with all this.
Why does Bitasker need name and email details?
Just use Npub instead
I understand that .
Why does Bitasker ask for name and email details in the first place.
So you can join to Waitlist
We will email you once we launch
Put any name you like or just put a dot
