A lot of what's going on in the world is an exercise in keeping your heart open despite the BS 🙏

Thank you for sharing, goes on my list! 🙏

Your comment reminds me of how said something to the tune of "evil forces in the world act as physical trainers, but in the spiritual realm"

I'm interested to hear you guys' and gals' takes on this. Either personal experience or something you've read or heard. When I was thinking about this topic, at first I thought this framework invalidated my previous idea: But as I meditated on it a little more, I realized that things like electronics breaking down are very much a man-made phenomena as well (someone built that stuff), and if you take the "fully spiritual" perspective in which time doesn't exist, then things which happen now have been predestined to happen from time immemorial. Your phone glitching right now was sort of "built into it." One could also say that the whole planned obsolescence thing is a slow grind of spiritual warfare against us in and of itself. I also touched upon this issue in my last vlog, which I actually recorded around the same time I posted that previous note - March 20, 2026. Just got around to posting it recently.

#NOSTR #VLOG VOLUME 11: "YOU ARE NOT UNLUCKY. YOU ARE BEING SPIRITUALLY ATTACKED" #vlogstr

Hey brother, just wanted to say thank you for tagging me, haven't had a proper listen to the mixtape yet (also don't have any green ATM so perhaps I'll wait for the chance to roll a joint to it lol) but it's on my radar and I appreciate your work! Perhaps I can contribute a tune or two myself one of these days (me & a buddy of mine have a reggae-inspired hip hop track about summer in the making ATM, it's in Estonian though) 😉

It was an honor and a great pleasure to chat with https://fountain.fm/episode/Y17YcPUUS5ChNVP6P4zQ We covered important bits of my Bitcoin journey, some of the key insights that led me to write Unified Creation Energy Theory, the dangers of becoming too bullish on hope and on Bitcoin, and the struggles of manifesting creative potential into economic feasibility. Perhaps we should do a round 2 at some point though, as there was a lot we didn't touch upon, some more Bitcoin-related, some a little less: - Taking out a loan (like many of us, I had 0 savings) to buy Bitcoin (and other "crypto") in 2017 and getting seriously lucky with timing - The origins of Kontext as a nym and an anonymous rapper, and my first proper attempt at taking it to a professional level around 2018-2020 - Becoming super bullish and way too complacent in 2021, buying into the idea of never selling (but continuously borrowing fiat against my coins) - Losing most of my stack in the beginning of 2022 as the market turned - Partly as a result of that - and partly from realizing I’m no good as an altcoin trader - becoming a BTC maxi that same year - Doxxing myself and getting on social media, largely inspired by the network effects of Bitcoin and trying to emulate that in my own life - Taking a second serious shot at becoming a rapper in Australia in 2022 - Realizing that Bitcoin mimics the nature of reality itself - which was the key insight to starting to write Unified Creation Energy Theory - Ego inflation while writing Unified Creation Energy Theory in early 2023 - Multiple ego deaths, in different forms, before and after that - Starting to work on a Bitcoin-based gift card business in an effort to provide more straightforward, tangible value to people, as opposed to the much more subjective value of music and writing, as it slowly dawned upon me that those were not going to bring me instant fame, glory, or riches - Listening to an audiobook version of Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" on a roadtrip through Australia in 2023 and realizing I had been writing something very similar in my own journals - Making the decision to publish my own collection of writings in 2024 and launching in an effort to prime myself for the publication while building a potential audience - Finally launching the gift card business at the end of 2024 (what was supposed to take 6 months turned out to be 1.5 years), with high hopes and expectations, but struggling to gain traction, customers and/or investors - Launching as a division of Satoshee Strategy, with the intention of supporting open-source work in a wider array of domains in addition to code, while creating synergy between a for-profit company and a non-profit initiative - Publishing a collection of my "notes to self" in the form of a hardcover book ("A Stoic Resurrection: Notes from the Journal of a Modern Stoic") in mid-2025 alongside an expanded collection of self-designed merch on kontext.store - Much like my music, essays, and SATOSH.EE, the book and merch store launch still didn't result in commercial success (yet) All in all, the journey is a continuous process of death and rebirth, of walking a tightrope between ambition and humility. A mission of faith and resilience, bringing the ego into the service of the spirit. There are no guarantees, no promises, and no safety nets. Ultimately, what matters is Proof of Work in spreading Love & Freedom. Onward.

Yes indeed! It's been on my reading list since the first version was released😉 I might hold out for the physical or audio version though, can't force myself to read long texts from a screen TBH. Extra kudos to for releasing it copyright free, of course! 👊 Will definitely feature it on sooner rather than later.
