I thought this was a great verse today as well.

“But I will sing of your strength and will joyfully proclaim your faithful love in the morning. For you have been a stronghold for me, a refuge in my day of trouble.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭59‬:‭16‬ ‭CSB‬‬

I love this. Good morning and I couldn’t have phrased it better!

A few lose ends to clear up today, feedback loops to close, but once that is settled it’s onto building.

This weekend I may even get back to my music days by arranging a solo piece for saxophone and sending it off to my music partner to review.

This is an interesting conversation and one that I think I’ve had on NOSTR before, and if not, I have certainly thought through it.

The crux of the conversation, ultimately hinges upon one’s philosophical stance.

Do we care more about bitcoin adoption or do we care more about the method of adoption?

You see, in one scenario “the thing” is the priority while with the other scenario, the person (or the relationship) is the priority.

So if we are going to call ourselves leaders, then we must focus on the relationship, and thus the action of helping people adopt bitcoin; not critique, or criticize the method by which they arrive at the status of adoption.

For if we take a purist, “this is the only way” approach, we will actually slow progress, and turn away more than we bring into the fold.

Once a person has adopted bitcoin, then we can help mature, or to borrow a church term, disciple them.

For if we approach bitcoin adoption this way, we will have long-term believers.

Converts that have arrived at the best decision for themselves, not because anyone coerced, or otherwise influenced them into one doctrine, or denomination of bitcoin.

Just like with Christianity, or any other religion for that matter, albeit be at I believe Christianity is a relationship, not a “religion”…that rabbit trail aside; we must learn as bitcoiners and we must learn as Nostriches, to major in the majors and leave the minor debates for later stages of a bitcoiner’s personal maturation.

Imagine it this way…

If someone was an alcoholic and ruining their life. Do you really care whether by what means they stop ruining their life?

No! You simply care that stop participating in that which is harming them and possibly others in their life.

To my earlier point; are we going to make Bitcoin about “the thing” or “the person”?

If it’s about the person, than it should not matter by which path they stop being an “alcoholic”…it only matters that they do.

That’s my 2 Sats 🧡

My 14-year-old took his lawn business door-to-door this week.

We drove past one house and he casually said, “That’s the parrot lady.”

Me: “What do you mean?”

Him: “She said she would call me later as she was dealing with parrots.”

What I thought I heard: He was following up with a customer and they said, “I’m going to call you back… I’m dealing with parents.”

So when they called later I opened with:
“Hey! How’d it go with your parents?”

Long pause.

Caller: “Parents? No… I said parrots. I was dealing with parrots.”

I’m still not recovered. 🤦‍♂️

Moral of the story: Always confirm what you think you heard before you follow up. 😂

In light of the following post I decided to put Major Jason Lowery’s seminole work, Softwar, into NotbookLM and generate a deepdive podcast.


Hope it is of value to those engaging here!
