Something I have learned recently: if you subtract all the noise, there are really not many things worth paying attention to; The hard part is how to trace out the sources or at least getting closer.

It amazed me how people in the past were capable of doing with bare hands.

Bitcoin changed me a lot, but the biggest one probably is changing me from a consumer to a maker; I used to be a minimalist, but I have leveled up from choosing what brands to buy from to learning how to make whatever I want, in the way I like. I can't really express this feeling in words yet ( it's wild ), and it helped me to understand how our consumerism society functions - it not only keeps stealing ppl's time and energy buying things they probably do not even need but also takes away the joy of creating.

if the things you *own* others can take away from you, maybe it's not really yours in the first place.

Just finished the movie The Thirteenth Floor, amazing - do you think our consciousness just "moved" around like that in different simulations? 👀 In the movie, there is simulation within the simulation; it almost sounds like this fiat slavery world in our society. You have people who get up every day just to chase those unlimited supplies of money so to buy whatever is being sold, scary, and this world is exactly created by the greeds. Then I also did some quick research about consciousness, and it turned out there are quite some ppl do remember their past lives, intrigued: - what if all these living & dying are meant to be experienced under different simulations? - what if we already lived many lives, and all the knowledge that we needed is within us and waiting to be unlocked? - what if the real secret is within us?

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! https://geoarbitrage.com/coldwallet/

The shoes I designed finally arrived! 👀 designed by me with natural leather and handmade by a craftsman who has been crafting shoes for over 30 years, and it's a beautiful feeling wearing things that you co-created! Once you are out of the fiat world consumption game and not keeping up with the Joneses, you then realize that there is a sea of options waiting to be explored. ✨

Fear is what makes one weak — conquering your own fear is the way to grow.
