thanks for all the kind advice guys. turning a page on this finally.
for others in a similar boat now or in the future, things that have helped me process betrayal/anger:
1) the serenity prayer, observed twice daily
2) cold showers
3) 5km runs listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivors
4) DMT
5) friends who can keep a secret and don’t give a fuck about the law

Today, I’m traveling to the place where my father learned what it meant to become a man.
Deep in the Northwest Territories, in a village only reachable by plane, he taught 25 kids in a tight-knit indigenous community.
It was the first job of his teaching career, and he left behind all his friends and family with no method of communication for 2 entire years to pursue it.
He used to tell me stories of -40°C winters, bear & caribou hunting, and the deep loneliness of being an outsider in a world he barely understood. Yet, in that isolation, he found purpose in immense responsibility.
Now, as I approach 30, I find myself searching for that same clarity.
In a world where so many young men feel lost, I want to understand what he found - so I’m returning with him to make a documentary about it.
What’s the greatest lesson your father ever taught you?

I want to say a BIG THANKS to everyone on NOSTR who zapped our Jekyll Island documentary - it has made a huge impact over the last few days.
Just some context - @npub1aft…dcke , @npub1k76…cg5x and I set up a media company at the beginning of 2024 with the mission of awakening the sovereign individual.
The documentaries, shorts and weekly shows we have produced thus far have ranged from Bitcoin-friendly, to some pretty controversial and hard-to-sponsor or monetize topics.
Since we don't have millions of subscribers, it's fairly difficult to fund this content via affiliates / sponsorships or subscriptions.
Regardless - we've been able to reach around 23,000,000+ views across all our media in just 2024 alone.
Zaps have allowed us to recover significant portions of the capital it has cost to travel, edit, and produce these videos while we continue to create an economic model that works long term that still allows these high quality videos to be released for free.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our work so far - we appreciate it beyond words 🙏
More awakening to come in 2025.

Join us as we expose the shadowy origins of the Federal Reserve - 111 years ago to this very day, and reveal how it has enslaved entire nations in debt, funded endless wars, and cemented its control over America’s future.

I guess my only analog is when people say Bitcoin is/was "a solution in search for a problem"

would love pointers if somebody can really clarify the future economics of NOSTR in a world where the average social media users shares 10+ gigabytes and growing of data per year and they're used to doing it for free

2024-12-02 08:12:03 UTC

lil rant: am I the only one who thinks that NOSTR sorta gained steam at the wrong time?
I know Jack was a big part of the early onboarding back in Q4 2022, but something tells me if it all came together just a bit earlier in the 2021-2022 censorship crisis w/ Jan 6th, trucker protests, etc - NOSTR would be EXPONENTIALLY more complete on a software + UX perspective by now than it actually is today.
the use case for the average person is just not that obvious or impactful in an environment that isn't hostile towards free speech, which Twitter/X isn't at the moment.
and even if it were to become gradually worse, the benefits of using a centralized platform for free speech (like hosting videos natively) vastly outweighs the difficulty it takes to execute the same speech on this one
(maybe I'm shouting into the wind, but I thought it'd be worth posting since I can never delete the thought on NOSTR even if I wanted to, the same way I can't delete the thought from my head 😂)

I don't know how you arrived at the idea that "the poor are lazy"
most poor people I know generally don't have expendable income or access to cheap debt
it's not impossible for them to become rich, but it is exponentially more difficult for them to access capital and opportunity compared to rich people
Bitcoin levels that playing field as the barrier to entry is smaller than any other investable asset

Great take.
We know not everybody will be able to self-custody - Bitcoin on layer 1 cannot even support everybody who has a cellphone to make 1 self custody transaction per day.
What is important is that people understand that somebody around them can still verify, spend, and interact with the base layer - and that those people serve as the hubs and guardians for ensuring the layer 2s are not perpetuating fraudulent bitcoin

The NYC government came and euthanized this guy's (Mark Longo) adopted squirrel “Peanut”, which he’s owned for 7 years, for "protection of public health".
Mark Longo and his wife moved to Upstate New York last year to start P'Nuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary, which is named for his pet and officially opened in April 2023.
The sanctuary houses more than 350 rescues and has been relying "heavily" on donations from Peanut's online followers to help more animals.
When the government shows you and tells you who they are—believe them.
