There are many posts discussing which Hardware Wallet to buy or why some Hardware Wallet companies don't accept Bitcoin, etc., but what if the whole point of Bitcoin is about self-responsibility, which includes making your own cold wallet? 🤔
I'm not against anyone buying any HW if you really want to, as it's definitely better than storing it in exchanges or putting your hard-earned sats in any hot wallets. But learning how to make my own cold wallet was one the most empowering moments in my Bitcoin journey, and you can create it on the go instead of waiting for deliveries, which is much more efficient and private too!

went to a money museum the other day, the owner spent about 30 years collecting money from different places; then I asked where is Bitcoin 👀 and he said he doesn't believe it, as it was *not guaranteed*.

Went to Göbekli Tepe recently, the oldest temple discovered so far; it was built about 12000 years ago, you could probably find many videos online of it, but nothing beats seeing it in person - it's literally in the middle of nowhere, seeing everywhere yet without being seen from afar, super smart! ( there are still other areas waiting to be excavated )
And one of the interesting things I have learned is that ppl used to use it to gather together to exchange goods, even marriage 👀 not just being a temple; I was getting lost a bit in history last week, too much to learn...

Things you own end up owning you.
Here's a fun hack for simplifying your life: categorizing your belongings into essentials ( the things that are really needed ) and the optional ( the things that bring you more comfort, but you can live your life without them. )
My solution to keep my life simple is to see what is really needed first and do my best to get the best of them, not fiat marketing brand best but inside best, then slowly do the same for the optional; Now, I don't really need to buy any new things, but trying to integrate my ideas into making what I need better.

Your home culture is an invisible cage, which could potentially limit your growth.
Sharing one funny story, I had my first ear piercing when I was about 18 years old, and my dad was so mad at me. Then I often see cute little girls are already wearing earrings in Turkey maybe like 5 years old ...Many things don't make sense in a place, yet it could be perfectly normal somewhere else. *Don't let your home culture limit you or tell you what to do*; I think one of the best things you can do is see it from far away, explore around, and then choose what works for you instead of doing what everyone is doing there.
And one thing I noticed is that many people still love to hang out with people coming from the same place and barely leave their own bubbles, even within nomads, expats, or people who moved abroad a long time ago but would still be married to people coming from the same place, I guess mostly due to convenience and it's easier? Nothing is wrong with that but it's quite interesting. 🤔

Tulip festival in istanbul - Tip: April is the best time to come.
and fun fact: Tulip is native to Anatolia ( actually, the nomad Turks brought it from Asia ), then brought into Europe during the Ottoman time. But I guess many people would first think of the Netherlands when it comes to Tulip, maybe due to more commercialization or marketing there...but Turks' love for Tulips is uncomparable, you can easily see it in all kinds of arts and crafts, and do you know the meaning of tulip? 🤓🌷

The past few years for me, not sure if it is because of Bitcoin or a mix of everything, it's like a journey of going back to what's real; so we were born and being taught how to blend into modern society: go to school then get a job, work till 65yr then you can retire...But did you ever question of why do you need to deal with people you don't like so to earn money or why someone else did nothing yet getting a big cut out of your work? You slowly realize the matrix, and the good news is seeing the problem is the first step to solving it!
Then, you start to figure out how to exit ( Bitcoin is a powerful tool ) and learn how to stay away from "modern products": from the food you eat, tools that you use, or even the values that are fed to you, much verifying yet rewarding at the same time. And once you take good care of the shelter, food, and all the necessities, then you have all the time to work on something you love ( find your ikigai ) and spend time with people you like instead of keep waiting for retirement or holidays.

really hard to come by those who have skills, taste, and attention to detail these days; many just want to get the thing done fast instead of making the best thing they could possibly, I mean nothing is wrong with that, but doing something extra can win you miles away in such mid-core society.

2024-04-09 10:07:26

Imagine everything you own is crafted by yourself - why not focus one or a few years on solving ONE problem?
Second year into making my own clothes! Not only I'm unsatisfied with chemical dyes, as I've shared before, but I also want to control the fabric from the start now, so here I am - don't underestimate what is possible, even in a foreign land! I traced down some remaining masters to see how they weave fabric the traditional way; I want to see what's possible and understand how certain structures are being weaved because I have some ideas in my mind, and I want to see if it is doable...
The weaver is the one truly has freedom to decide whatever she likes, yet most people think once they are "rich" enough, they can buy whatever they like, while in fact they only get to buy from what's available in the market, which is limited freedom; And to make things even worst, people are rat race buying what whatever brands to show their social status, yet being fed mostly massive produced junks?
And I am not sure how many of you dig into these so-called fashion industries, I was a bit shocked seeing how the layers of layers middlemen work, and then again, the weavers/makers earn the least while doing most of the work. It makes total sense why not many people keep doing these time-consuming yet beautiful crafts:

Growing Plants for Privacy
I just realized that people plant trees and flowers could be for privacy reasons, like if you have a unique house, people who passby maybe curious inside, at least I am. The area I'm currently in has many beautiful homes, but you don't get to see much as there are many plants in the little garden.
Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it also blocks others' views; what a subtle to protect your privacy - sometimes, protecting privacy doesn't need many fancy tools, which reminds me of many Bitcoiners using so many fancy cold wallets; you really don't need them, all you need is a simple USB, subtle and does the job without causing so much attention!

Honestly, if you can work online, living somewhere with better weather and closer to nature brings so much joy: more peaceful, better quality of life, and great value for money - sounds like an easy math to me.
Okay, one of the downsides that I found is that most young are too busy hustling in big cities, so you might be mostly around elderly people, but that also means more skills to learn - good to stack those that are going extinct, even simple things like cooking, cleaning, or even making things with your own bare hand, because most people might be even relying on shitGPT to know how to fried eggs one day.

2024-02-02 11:19:57

The more skills you have, the more free you are.
And you only commit to the things you truly enjoy and around the people you like instead of being a victim of your default setting - verifying everything is the way.

2024-01-22 11:05:40

Not sure how many of you started to earn in Bitcoin, but it makes you happier - not just stacking Bitcoin itself, but the fact that people pay you with their precious sats, which means your work is being valued and appreciated!
Buying Bitcoin is good, but earning it changes your thinking - in the Fiat world, people would think about what to do to earn MORE and FASTER. But in Bitcoinlandia, you need to think about what to do to actually offer value to others and keep improving it, because a. reputation is expensive, b. everyone wants to stack those precious sats, but people would only spend on quality things.
I would recommend everyone start to try to earn Bitcoin from NOW on. Yes it's hard and still early, but *not impossible* - not only it's the best way to learn, but it also shows great POW from you, especially at a time when everyone is using shitGDP yet you are actually doing the work to learn and figure things out yourself:)

2023-12-04 10:36:03

Maybe the day you stopped paying attention to the price, you became a real Bitcoiner.
If you still care so much about the price, even timing it to sell back to fiat, you still have a lot to learn.

- No worship of ANY human
