Don´t delay what you know you want to do but feel "tired" or "lazy"! Finally went for it & got this cool certification!
Thinking about doing: ECON103: Principles of Austrian Economics I in the next few months.
Lightning has been fun, over 4 years ago I tinkered with my first LN Node and I have been running my current one for over 3. No regrets even though I’ve lost thousands and maybe even close to hundreds of thousands of sats in shit channels and force closures. Never did it for the gains and as long as I can remember ran with 0 Base Fee Routing fees. Kind of sad that I was close to reach 1 whole BTC in combined inbound+outbound liquidity… ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Not even 10% of that nowadays 🫂 #plebchain might be saying goodbye to it at some point, lost motivation and I hate to say it… custodial LN wallets are a lot less pain in the ass and take a lot less balancing costs and force closures 🤪
Just spent a couple minutes yesterday and today on Twitter after a long time on inactivity. Bloody unbearable amount of cryptoscam advertising everyfuckingwhere in every single post I read. Also so much political propaganda ffsake. So glad I don’t find time to use it any more.
Live-streaming on Twitch was a major hobby of mine until it “nearly” became a job around 2017-2018. Things take a sharp turn when fun is switched for stats, numbers, engagement growth and ultimately trying to see if you can change careers and become a content creator because you get Verified/Partnered.
Impostor syndrome, burnout and so on… can be a huge burden.
I haven’t given up, but I’ve learnt to not force myself to do something I feel is not working.
Learning new skills, studying and finding new interests is revitalising.
I’m starting as a newb on something that isn’t extremely related to Bitcoin, which is another BIG interest in my life. But I’m sure I will find ways to link it up and make it useful for myself and others.
GN Nostr!
