A new world is struggling to be born. (9 episodes available)
 click the copy RSS feed button next to "subscribe to RSS Feed" and it will give you this RSS feed link. 📃.xml Then manually add that to any podcasting app. PodcastGuru is great at video so thats what I recommend. I also added it to podcastindex.org so it "might" show up in the podcast apps search under HODL but this is new ground were breaking here so your milage will vary.

You were doing great right up until the end and then you fell off the cliff. We are not in this alone. How depressing would that be. The universe has your back in every way. spirit loves you so much that you are even 100% unconditionally supported in doing the things you do that don't support who you really are, pure positive, unconditional enteral love.
It started with something like luck, @HODL. In the aftermath of the block size war, the number begain to head up towards 18k. A guy on the radio in Dallas started talking about it. I wanted to hear about the Cowboys. I heard about bitcoin instead. Over on Facebook, my cousin started talking about crypto. My wife follows him and started paying attention. Then in Dec. 2017, I went to buy a new video card at Frys. No can do. All out of stock. Shitcoin miners were buying them all up. I texted my cousin to see if this thing was legit. He said yes, and I set up my first bitcoin wallet. That sounds a lot like either luck or Providence. After that, it was up to me. That's when the universe stops talking and you start acting. Everything else that came after has been a ton of hard work and perseverance. But I can't claim that it started because I was smart and intuitive. My experience with bitcoin began because it was repeatedly tossed at my feet. I just happened to be curious about what it was.

Awesome to present your (in my opinion) authentic self to the world. This is the HODL I know and admire the most, who helped me and many others like me, not to survive the bear market, but understand the opportunity as a literal fucking time machine, and stack ferociously. Keep ‘em coming, flex ing those film making chops.
Love it. I’ve just completely changed what I do on a daily basis because of the freedom Bitcoin gave me mentally. I haven’t made it but it just made me feel like I don’t need to do something I don’t want to do. Went from. Chef to running a rosin company. Oh boy Solutions.
It is useful & motivating to get advice from those much further down the bitcoin road like npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs It can also be difficult to relate when you are struggling to get your fingernails into bitcoin & you are hustling for every sat Lately I have been getting a lot out of npub1ycvsxes7qfrmv897k8uqqfrwvj5efv0f282lxzacrdlglm8c2qrqm7jjgr 's ‘The Road To One Bitcoin' It's partly a nostalgic indulgence of a time much earlier in your bitcoin journey, but there is also an honesty & authenticity that is refreshing & very motivating Bitcoin is a river of returns flowing past your feet ... don't think of the price, think of the returns ... the sooner you dive in the faster your will be carried down stream Meanwhile, it's very satisfying to root for npub1ycvsxes7qfrmv897k8uqqfrwvj5efv0f282lxzacrdlglm8c2qrqm7jjgr https://www.youtube.com/@TheRoadToOneBTC View quoted note →
"𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤 is reactive! 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 is proactive!" A person who waits on luck may stumble forward once, but a person who sees clearly and persists shapes outcomes again and again. Vision creates direction, persistence gives it force. What looks like luck is usually just relentless alignment with purpose! Good Luck to y’all✨🍀 View quoted note →

we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at btc@primal.net, over a period of 28 minutes. all six attempts were successful. please check on your end to be sure you received. average zap time was 265791ms (265.8 seconds). we consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (other nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --

"I just got lucky." I can't imagine a more cruel thing to say to someone who has nothing to show for the last 10 years of their life. To say "I just got lucky," is to tell them there's nothing they can do to make a better life. No matter what decisions they make, no matter how hard they work, none of that matters. There's nothing they can do. It's to say, "If luck doesn't smile on you, your life will be meaningless, and you will die miserabe and irrelevent." It's words of discouragement. To say "I just got lucky." Is to wish others harm.
Great message. I'm here because I woke up one day and realised I didn't like where my life was going. It's never too late to change direction, learn something new, do things differently. You don't have to have it all mapped out; take it one step at a time and let little everyday decisions compound in your favour View quoted note →
Sometimes people get lucky when they are offered the opportunity to develop personal strength, resilience and personal wealth from loved ones dying traumatic deaths or suffering life limiting illnesses, from war, from childhood trauma, from permanent injuries, from a vast, humanity wide set of variables. We are all lucky to be on our paths. Life is a long winding path friens. Gratitude and humility are beautiful attributes
Sometimes it’s just about working hard… and being lucky enough to grab the right ticket 🎟️🍀 I just launched a little #bitcoin lottery project, hoping to create some winners (and maybe stack a few sats for myself too 🐒⚡)

testing zaps for this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at contact@lightning-lottery.com, over a period of 3 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --

Raising kids is different. Nobody tells you that you got lucky when you have a huge family. (8+ kids) They know it's non-stop hard work 24/7. And when your children turn out to be amazing, smart, outgoing, healthy, and well rounded, they know that you of put in the work. No luck assumed by anyone.
