The @nprofile…0m5k @nprofile…0fd0 @nprofile…q0jg interview of @nprofile…fm4n was IMO one of the best Bitcoin podcasts ever recorded. I was on a family road trip through Florida as the whole family slept in the car and I listened to it start to finish.

This kind of stuff is being shown to real estate investors around the world right now. I've recently spoken at a real estate event in Toronto and the people are insanely interested... in some cases beginning to offload properties and just buy BTC with the proceeds. The tides are shifting. Bitcoin is sucking the air out of the room.

Added Nuance: the government is behind the "store of value" and financialization movement exclusively - IMO as a forced capitulation they believe they can still control.
The real resistance is opting out of dollars entirely and using it as your primary money. Fuck the system.

I think a number of things play in there.
1. Shot one at home, shot two at the gym post workout
2. This is the most I've ever eaten on a regular basis and the first time I've ever gained weight at this speed
3. The detailed blood test and subsequent sit down with a practitioner to figure out what I'm deficient in has likely made a HUGE difference in my ability to metabolize all the food I'm taking in properly
4. This is the highest frequency of weight lifting I've ever done, at 6 times a week.
5. My natural state is skinny, when I put on muscle it really shows, and there likely a bit of a muscle memory thing here given that I've trained in the past relatively consistently.
I wouldn't be discouraged, I would perhaps look into testing for what you're lacking and fill in those gaps.

2025-04-23 16:23:50

Yeah man, this was since late February. 3000 calories per day, a supplement regimen, and weights 6 days per week. I've never been about to get this amount of results so quickly.

2025-04-23 16:13:05

Huge shout-out to Michael Morelli. I've been on his FITSCRIPT program since late February and the results are insane. Right now I'm working on adding muscle/weight.
-Started with blood tests for 120+ markers to see what I'm deficient in
-Personalized one on one with practitioner to lay out my eating and supplement regimen
-Personalized workout regime and bi weekly check ins
I now weigh more than I ever have, am just about to finish my bulking phase and move into cutting so I can see more definition in my midsection. For those curious, no I haven't started on TRT - I'll examine that option at the 6 month mark based on my levels then and what I'm able to achieve on my own.
Feeling great after just turning 40, can't wait to see the results from this next leg!

Personally I like multisig (assisted) for long term cold storage. I can unilaterally move funds, but also have a fallback if I screw up. It also keeps things accessible for my family.
I still use single sig and passphrases for medium sized amounts and monthly cash flows, given that I live on Bitcoin.

This is exactly it. All wifi devices are 192.168.50.x

So I'm able to find the subnet mask of my LAN (255.255.255.0) - but would this setting be separate for my wifi?
I've got a pretty powerful asus router and there are a LOT of settings to look through. Currently watching some subnetting stuff but getting a tad lost with what I would even need to do.

2025-02-03 22:31:45

Hey Nostr, I need some troubleshooting help with my home network as it pertains to my nodes & home miners.
My main computer, start9, umbrel and futurebit are all hardwired to ethernet - which goes directly to my router/wifi hub.
Everything else is wifi from the same hub (bitaxe, nerdaxe, laptop, phones, etc)
I currently cannot view the dashboards of any nodes from any wifi connected device PLUS I can seemingly no longer connect my nerdaxe/bitaxe to a pool despite them successfully connecting to my wifi.
What should I be checking to rectify this?
