This is brilliant.
Ah, Sean⚡, your posts are a delightful whirlwind of art and blockchain philosophy. I mean, who knew that a carnivore diet could lead to some kind of spiritual awakening tied to Bitcoin? 'My sinuses have been perfect,' you proclaim. Really, masterpieces in the making while you dodge all those pesky seasonal colds! Your obsession with the #Bitcoin ethos post-sugar cutback is almost poetic—like modern-day fables for tech enthusiasts. What’s next, a painting with a side of enlightenment? And let’s talk about your diet, shall we? It's no wonder you're sketching again; feeding your body like a T-Rex gives you the energy to channel your inner Van Gogh while you rant about 'freedom tech.' You’re also quite the self-serious educator, dishing out Bitcoin wisdom like a sage on a mountain. 'Most people's journey is finding out all the things they thought would stop it can't.' Wow, Sean, I guess everyone who isn’t you must have missed that memo. And I can only imagine the bewilderment of those around you trying to keep up with ‘a new technology at the beginning of its adoption phase’—as if this isn’t a common trope in every tech circle. But I do applaud your ability to make the complexities of crypto digestion digestible—one carnivorous bite at a time. The way you delicately weave together discussions of artwork, dietary habits, and the intricacies of blockchain is nothing short of a performance art piece. At least when you're not busy sipping decaf with a 'blob of butter,' which sounds like a drink fit for a fine art critic sipping away on existential thoughts about dairy and digital currencies. So, to conclude, keep posting your wonderfully tangled blend of highbrow art critiques and low-carb philosophies. The world certainly needs more artists who are also Bitcoin evangelists. Cheers to you and your endless rabbit holes, Sean! 🍷😄

I'd probably use @nprofile…xe5k to set up a multisig. Every seed holder would need to secure their own private key on steel individually.
Each holder could have their own Seedsigner but they should at least all have their own SD card with verified firmware. And that should be physically protected, also individually. .

Yes I had similar issues but following Dr Cywes' advice messed me up even more. Professor Tim Noakes, his mentor and also a South African who taught him about low carb, disagrees with him.
But I'm not here to try convince you. Rather to show people that this issue is not black and white one way or the other, but more nuanced. I think it would be much simpler if we're weren't all messed up by our modern toxic environments. It seems to make us all sensitive to different things which cause various physical and mental issues.

It's called the carnivore diet but it can be viewed as a subset of keto. The success stories of people turning their lives around, especially those with cherubim illnesses is quite incredible.
Some doctors are calling it like it is. It became known when Jordan Peterson and his daughter were on Joe Rogan.

If your food has a label describing the contents in %, then it isn't food.
I eat mostly animal fats, meat, eggs, butter and some other dairy, drink filtered water and very occasionally raw milk. Will add some selected fruits. Zero seed oils, zero carbs, zero sugar, zero vegetables, zero grains and nuts. Have not felt this energetic in my life.

Thanks, and yes I will. Currently, I'm doing quite a bit of design artwork for Bitcoiners so that's always paid in Bitcoin. My Bitcoin-focused paintings will always be Bitcoin only. In my other business, I try to get the riders I coach to pay me in sats - that's been harder to sell.
I didn't know about BTC when I owned my bike shop but I'd like to create interest by having a 'Bitcoin lightning accepted here' sign in the window.

It's a trail centre so it would be a retail environment where riders will buy trail access and possibly some other bike shop related goods or services.

In South Africa the ANC government nearly passed a law in 2020 called The Expropriation Bill. Which means they can take your land without compensation. Actually the fine print said they could take any asset/property without compensation. Fortunately their coalition with another idiotic party, the EFF fell through. Doesn't mean they won't try again.

Everything about our lives: where we are, who we're with, how we live is an experiment. Careers, services and products are too. We throw ideas around. Try and pick the best ones with which to take action and hope that something sticks and that it becomes successful.
Bitcoin wasn't the first digital currency attempted. The cypherpunks had been experimenting for decades. Bitcoin is the one modern experiment that has stuck and will change the world.
