I'm so fed up with that.
We need to figure out how to work for and with each other for cash... better yet, for bitcoin!
Because there is no future in always working to advance the agenda of others.
I've worked for other's since 7 years old. 20+ in government.
I was dead inside, and almost dead on the outside as well.
The more we work IN the system, the less we can get out of it because our minds become atrophied by all the obedience and their rules we must follow.
We need to be out of the system by making our own peer to peer network of labor, goods and services.
We just have to.

I want to learn to live a #primitive #pioneer lifestyle.
I grew up in abject poverty. We had no #electricity nor running water during my #childhood.
We had major #foodInsecurity. Yet, there were a few glimpses of happiness, amid the #violence and the #poverty.
I hustled and was quite #entrepreneurial throughout.
Today, my "convenient" #American life is being disturbed.
Not only by the fact that our family neighborhood has been turned into a state-enabled hub for #WelfareQueens harboring criminals, dealers, thugs that the state protects. (How could they not?); but also by the fact that, as the only homeowners, any property maintenance on the roof over our head falls on us. Today, well, the husband has been needing to play electrician.
As an ex-government agent, I can remind you all that the #state is not here to resolve any problems.
It's here to pretend to resolve problems, but they really need those problems to continue.
They, in fact, need those problems to proliferate.
You have to think of how a #corporation runs.
In order to continue getting the continued capital they need, they must show #profits to bolster the confidence of #investors.
Corporations (depending on their line of business) are charged with the obligation of growth. (I too worked in the corporate world, I too partnered in a corporation).
As tired as I am at the moment, I can't rack my brain to find examples of successful no-growth corporations.
I'm not trying to shit on businesses, I'm all for entrepreneurship. However, this characteristic of the current socioeconomic system we live in continues to prove time and time again the failures of its own sustainability. We're not talking about "green" measures here, just plain survivability.
#Entropy moves into just about anything, but can we agree that it moves into some systems faster and with more impact than in others?
Just like in corporatism, government needs to be the cancer, the parasite that must grow and grow eating of its host.
So, why resolve problems, when such problems are the ones that keep you funded?
Why fix anything for anyone when the #FED can simply fund you and enrich you for your continuously "REQUIRED SERVICES"?
Same as with a corporation which looks to solve a need or it identifies a gap to try and supply that need or cover that gap; the need and the gap themselves become the reason of such corporations/government agencies to EXIST.
No need, no demand. No need, no supply.
Where does the desire to learn a pioneer/primitive lifestyle fit into this?
#Sovereignty.
#Statism and #Corporatism have #Dependence in common. Hence the reason why #Totalitarianism & #Monopolism seem to always be their "most successful" stages, their ultimate ways to have reached the so sought-after "cornering of the market".
I am naive, I'm sure, even at my old age.
But isn't due to the failures of #statism and #corporatism that #Bitcoin had to be given birth to?
Dependence.
Good grief.
You have no clue how long it's taken me to text this from my phone with half a bar...
That and my arthritis doesn't help!
I honestly believe that #btc and #nostr rekindled a fire in me. One to try to be as self-reliant as possible.
A corporation and a government may not like that in us. They need us to be dependent and reliant on their product / service, hence the large number ways they impose on all of us to control us.
Am I all for #FreeMarkets? I am. The question is, who is defining #FreeMarket for who.
I am naive because I sometimes forget how sick I am and how poorly I can get.
But in my moments of my perceived #lucidity I DO see myself thriving in my #imagination. I have to think it to be it.
I see myself conserving as much energy, being frugal about my resources, my utilization of goods, services; and wasting as little as possible.
Directing my energy where it matters: run my node, produce power to mine? Who knows.
Trying to get healthier so I can learn more, share what I learn, grow real relationships/circular economies... Frugally giving my hard made/hard earned sats in a voluntary and wilful exchange for as hardly made/produce goods/services.
BTC makes the peer to peer transaction that much more FAIR. It reduces friction and minimizes the animosity in negotiation.
#Bitcoin is #Decentralized, #OpenSource and #Verifiable.
Have you known of any billion+ valued corporation and government that is as decentralized, open-source and transparent as #Bitcoin?
(What do I know, may you have? #askNostr)
I pose a couple of questions:
How will Bitcoin #Plebs & #nostriches #thrive if the system followed & very deeply programmed into us is one that completely enables & supports a #FIAT mindset and behaviors??
How do you see a return to some primitive/pioneer lifestyles, in as many aspects of your routine as possible, enabling the bringing forth of the replacement of the FIAT system by a supercharged #BitcoinStandard?
The hubs fixed both the internet and the electrical panel safely.
Praise God!!!!
Enjoy the gif!!!!

I'm seeing the "looking for a savior" syndrome everywhere. In mainstream social media and sometimes here too.
I'm sad because throughout my life experience and present circumstances, I keep being shown by life itself that no one is coming to my rescue.
And, believe me, sometimes all of us need rescuing at one point or another. We have limitations and abilities different to each other.
I feel like the more we trust our "world leaders" the less we develop our own intuition and abilities to rely on ourselves and our neighbors.

#asknostr #checkin
My health hasn't improved, and the added stress isn't helping. However, I am eating as healthy as I can and fast whenever my emotions aren't running me ragged.
This current crisis we're going through requires mental clarity and acuity which both my husband and I are lacking due to the constant state of shock and the multiple well-intended opinions of those wanting to help, but also not quite knowing how.
I am in constant state of prayer and panic.
It's a very bad mental state to be.
The husband and I are having to figure out a lot of things which are very difficult under normal circumstances just from the physical and emotional toll our routines have us under.
But we now have to try figure those life changing decisions in very small windows, with no clarity, and under the constant threat of those people lording their criminal behaviors over us.
That's the picture.
I am having to type this long one cause if I press enter, Rose the bot will ban me.
But, I want you to understand this:
I am definite and constant "shill" for #bitcoin.
Even in these circumstances....
More like...
Because of these circumstances.
These time and crisis we're going through right now is teaching us, THE EXTREMELY HARD WAY, that the only safe and secure anything in this realm is Bitcoin.
I had been a firm believer of this from before we were even able to learn how to buy sats.
But when you live through this, it is absolutely palpable and real.
My sats are safely lost in my kayaking accident. No one can retrieve them from the bottom of the pond!!!
What scares me, a bit, ok... more than a bit sometimes, and it is another factor that keeps me up at night...
Is that my artwork almost seems "prophetic".
I have not been able to complete my last piece. I have not been able to even go back to work on my series of hand-designed, cnc-drawn, hand-painted greetings...
I basically have not been doing ANY artwork in months.
My brain keeps going to the images in my brain that keep plaguing me.
I keep seeing myself in my artwork, and it is quite scary!!
if you are familiar at all with my work on my Bitcoin illustrations, believe me... I am terrified by them,
They are an incomplete story, since I haven't finished the series, of the war between good and evil: Bitcoin vs Fiat.
I am, honestly, afraid of how I feel I am that limp carcass of a woman in Death by Fiat.
How I am that fearful Lady Liberty, in Mauled by Wall Street, trying to fend off the jackals. How I am with a gaping mouth, force-fed those damned blue pills in Fed by the FED... How I am absolutely terrified, trying to scape, tied in a straight jacket in Locked-down by Clown World.
I can't even tell you what is happening to me in my incomplete piece!!!!
I don't want to be living in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My illustrations are meant as a warning to those who keep "fucking around and finding out..."
They're meant to be the WHY Bitcoin. Why is it IMPERATIVE for us to literally act as the disciples did after Jesus resurrected and told them to "GO.....!!!" I mean, he would have beaten the shit out of his apostles to get them to spread the good news....
Maybe that's what is happening to the hubs and I?
Are we going through this beating, to make us GO?
I have to try and find the signs and the clarity needed, because we can't focus on a mission of GOOD, a mission of being the instruments to bring upon the abundance that God, the Universe, and Satoshi want us to be expressing, living, teaching, evangelizing!!!
Sorry, but for anyone who thinks that Bitcoin is "just money" or "an asset," is absolutely 100% wrong.
#Bitcoin is the #Power, #Nostr is its #Church.

I will be #checking in, at least once daily.
My husband has started getting this horrible nagging #cough from the #anxiety and constant state of #fear we're in.
Basically, in #Chinafornia, your life can be threatened, but no cop will do a thing if a #gun has not been pulled out.
Apparently, I need to wait until we're shot or stabbed, etc... that way I can make their job easier for getting charges pressed...
#nostriches
I'm not trivializing this reality: there are no good guys.
We are it! We #hodl and are #noderunners for a reason.
We learned in 2017: no fire department came to defend our home during the fire storm. It wish we had left then.
I should have known, no police is coming to protect us.
I'll try to keep my #check ins short.
I'll use #asknostr #checkin
I know we don't know each other, but this is all I can think of.

If there's a #praystr prayer chain I'd like to be part of that.
I seem to intercede better for others than for myself.

Thank you!
Any well- meaning intentions and frequencies are greatly appreciated. It's been a nightmare and we don't even know how long this will last.

2024-07-17 20:20:12

My husband and I are currently in a long-term dangerous situation. I can't share details, but I'd like to #asknostr #nostr to please pray for our safety and our well being.
We're terrified and #Chinafornia is siding with these criminals. Any and all #prayers accepted.
Thank you.

My life #experience continues to teach me:
THERE ARE NO GOOD GUYS.
WE are the good guys.
This #society's #leaders are nothing but effigies to distract us from our own #power within!
Stop looking for a #savior.
Our savior already lives within us.
#nostriches #arise.

Looking to get the F off #Chinifornia... Mind shilling me your county?
How's your county been good to you as a #bitcoiner?
Is your county's cost of living friendly to you as a#nostrich?

2024-07-08 04:58:18

Spot the differences.
#HODLers know.

Can u imagine how cute it'd be if there were #nostriches...THIS SIZE????

It perhaps also comes from people afraid of being confronted with the fact that some of those "others" being offered the said value, may simply want to pay a lot less than the real value on offer.
#Negotiation still has not gone out the window. Negotiating used to be seen as a non-noble activity due to the by-default animosity at play.
There are way too many individuals who need major #fiat de-programming, or major #bitcoin #standard #intervention.
Fiat has taught us violence, bullying, "one-up-on-ness", dishonesty, indecency, fraud, scam, robbery, exploitation, etc... are the "necessary" means/tools/attitudes "justified" by the end/goal.
I feel like there are a lot of folks who have amazing value to offer. Fiat has also taught/programmed into us the reality of the present perception scarcity. ("IMA gonna hang onto my #sats, cuz my capacity/ability to earn them is diminishing as I age/get sick/etc...")
This scarcity comes not only from circumstances, but from FIAT itself being the forever melting ice cube that it is.
Sats aren't that cube, thank God, but the program is already set in so many of us who grew in abject poverty or are currently struggling financially.
Then, there are those who also see a negotiation as a way to "one-up-ya'..."
Power-hungry, or sadists, simply enjoy abusing others. It is an unfortunate fact of life. What best way to abuse someone than to make them feel worthless by making their good/service appear worthless as well and steal from them their energy/effort/time put into the good/value/service being offered?
This is to NOT undermine what you wrote. IT IS TRUE. Some folks are afraid to see that they may not have a quality good to offer/contribute.
But we cannot discount the fiat programming from some, and the pleasure/enjoyment felt by those robbing/abusing from others.
How does #BitcoinFixesThis ?
At the moment, I can only think that it does by the fact that sats are not melting cubes.
So, even when an asshole wants to be an asshole and pay you less than the value offered, as long as that pay is in sats, those sats will not melt.
Just my two sats. I'm tired and I think rambled too much.

It's been hard these last couple of years. It's not getting easier at the moment. I don't want easy, but some breathing room would be nice. Nostr's been my breathing room. I have faith that we're headed on the right direction, but I do fear the struggles as we get there.
I just hope any fear I have is more of a sense of alert than the kind that freezes you in place.

The ones I have not tried, I don't quite know what they are. so ...who knows.
I grew up in abject poverty. Everything was food.

I hope I can be here more often.
I'm so #tired all the time. But I'm trying.

Not really, because they're all puppets. Some are simply more entertaining and livelier than others. None fulfill their promises.
