Thanks, and now it’s gone, before I made any changes.

Anybody know why all my posts mention a song? Only when I use Damus, not Primal. I can’t find a setting for that, don’t know where it came from. https://image.nostr.build/81d23cfdc3d545c0eccce74f4450b0999499766ba293088941b90f09acbd9209.jpg

I mean no disrespect, but how/why did Jack Dorsey let twitter fall to such an incredible low state before Elon bought it?
Did he just not have the control we think a CEO/founder would have?

What country would you recommend for Americans?

Totally. I think having options would help. For my family, that means we’re working on getting permanent residency in Costa Rica. That’s not the same as a passport, but hopefully we can leave before we need to.
Maybe if it came to that Costa Rica would not be a hospitable place, but it’s better than having no options.

Lately my (real) friends have been freaking out about politics on Facebook. I made the mistake of engaging, and pretty quickly regretted it.
Then I remembered what @npub1s05…eyhe keeps saying about giving energy to a system that’s stealing from you. I agree with that, but also the world is happening around us, so I don’t really know the right response.

On Facebook I clicked a reel of a girl in a bikini one time, and that’s all I see for reels anymore. I don’t want to see more on facebook but I have no choice. (If I wanted to see more, there are other places I’d go.)

GM. I’ve been thinking about this over the last few days.
Some of my liberal friends have had meltdowns on Facebook about Trump in the last week. I made the mistake of engaging nicely on one.
The next time I saw it happen I thought, “I love you and hope you get some peace” but didn’t comment.
Exactly what you said. Any comment by me won’t bring what I think it will when they’re in a heightened emotional state. And, don’t feed the system.

Also, the Adventist church has always had a strong health message. The Bible says our bodies are a temple, and we’ve tried to live that way, however imperfectly.
Vegetarianism has been a big part of our practices. I grew up Adventist and vegetarian, but started eating meat when I was a teenager.
These days probably 40% of Adventists are vegetarian. Many of them think it’s a healthier way to live. You and I might disagree, and that’s fine, but in general they do try to practice healthy living.
Loma Linda, CA is a “blue zone” because of all the Adventists there. Why do they live so long? Is it because of health practices? Community? Spirituality? Something else? I’d guess a bit of everything.

I’m a Seventh Day Adventist. I don’t pretend our church and community are perfect, but these claims seem silly. I suspect there are some partial truths in there, but I doubt it’s an accurate portrayal of reality.
Mutilation? That would be awful. I’d guess how that got in the book is there was some story somewhere that someone was mutilated, maybe by a crazy person who was Adventist, but there’s no way that was a common practice.
And we’ve never been “powerful” or rich enough to shape national politics. We wouldn’t want to if we could. Political engagement isn’t part of who we are.
There is one exception though. We’re strong advocates and defenders of religious freedom.
All that said, I don’t speak for the church or any other people. Likewise, nobody speaks for me.
Happy Sabbath!

Nice! I’m actually in the finance/accounting space too. I built a bookkeeping firm and now run a business that helps firms hire accounting staff remotely in the Philippines.
fCFO and flower shop is an interesting combination. How did that come about?
Sorry for the late reply…

I agree with you so strongly. I used to get passionate about liberty, but I hated who it turned me into when I try to talk about it with people. (I just don’t like talking politics.)
Now my hope is in bitcoin. It’ll do its thing and change incentives. Liberty will flourish.
I catch myself getting upset sometimes and just let it go.

Who on here is a business owner? I own a small business. It’d be cool to have some nostr biz chat.

I love Gladstein but won’t read his book because of the title.

I see. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
The organization part I get and have been thinking about thinking about maybe setting up a bitcoin savings for my company. I have a partner and might do something multisig like that. Having 3 people makes it nice from a security protocol perspective.

How does that work, and maybe I’m not imaginative, but why would someone want to have group funds with buddies?

GM friends.
Today I’m meeting an old friend I haven’t seen in a while for pho.
Later I’ll be doing a personal and business 2024 annual review. I’ve been looking forward to putting pen to paper.

I’m really upset by this. Fortunately I didn’t keep much on the exchange, so my “migration fee” is only a few bucks.
But that’s not what I signed up for and will immediately stop using them. They lost my trust.
And I recommended Swan to my sister in law. I know she’s been stacking for a few years and leaving it on there.
She and her husband don’t have much money, and 1% of their stack or $175 really stings. It makes me mad.
Not sure what I’ll recommend to them. I could see her leaving but not signing up with someone else. Damn it.

So? Finally, we have an aligned incentive model!

GM from the cloudy Pacific Northwest.
A few more days of vacation before it’s back to work.
I’ll be doing a 2024 review then meeting up with a good friend today.

GM and Merry Christmas!
Quick intro to me - longtime anon lurker, but thought I’d engage with my real name.
I’m a business owner, had a lot of ups and downs, and after 10 years I finally have a great, growing business.
I’ve been fascinated by bitcoin for about 10 years, and like everyone should have bought earlier.
I have a wife and 14 year old daughter, am volleyball dad and I’m loving it. Just have a few years left until she potentially leaves.
The future is bright! I’m very optimistic!
Tagging a few people who’ve inspired me along the way, just wanted to say hi.
