Hi Nostr 👋
I’m looking to design a website but have very limited technical experience. I’m drawn to the style of the homepage on mayakita.com, especially the video element, and would love something similar for my own site.
I’m hoping to include:
• A strong home page (with video)
• A blog
• An About Us page
• A simple product storefront
Does anyone have recommendations for a person, studio, or approach that would be a good fit for this?
Open to collaborating with someone who values clean design and intentional storytelling.
Thanks in advance 🙏

Nice! I haven’t made it to El Salvador yet but hoping to go this year. Keep me updated on how it is. When’s ur trip?
From the airport to the island, it’s manageable for any who’s done even minimal travel. Not very difficult at all. I would recommend getting an uber to puerto Juarez. I just checked the app and it costs $500MXN or $27 USD from the airport to Puerto Juarez. Takes about 30 minutes depending on traffic. We booked private transportation before hand and it was more expensive and took longer. I saw that it was a good idea on Reddit. I do not recommend doing this.
There will be ferries leaving all day from the port. Book ferry ticket here: www.ultramarferry.com/en
There’s an option to book a ticket that is redeemable within 6 months of purchase date on the selected route. This is what we did so we had our tickets reserved but weren’t rushed to make a specific ferry time.

Funny story I promised — the scholarship fund burger 🍔🎓⚡
Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. 🔒
Good thing bitcoiners are good, honest people. 🧡
Yesterday at Isla Burger, I ordered a burger patty with guacamole 🥑🍔. I helped the waitress create the invoice—the total came out to 242 MXN 💵🇲🇽.
We typed 2-4-2 into the Bitcoin terminal ⌨️⚡.
I scanned the QR code 📱.
The payment went through ✅.
I grabbed my food and left 🚶‍♀️.
The next morning 🌅, we went to Isla Bistro 🍽️. When we asked to pay in bitcoin ⚡, the owner came over to help us. He mentioned we should check out his other restaurant—Isla Burger—and we told him we’d been there the day before and loved it 😍.
Then something clicked. 💡
He pulled up a chair at our table 🪑 and asked me to double-check the payment I’d made the day before. My stomach dropped 😬—I thought maybe the transaction hadn’t gone through.
Instead, I realized the only transaction from the day prior was 243,000 satoshis 😳
That’s about $240 USD 💸—nearly 18× the cost of my burger.
I explained my confusion, and he smiled 😊.
“That’s right,” he said. “When you entered 242, it defaulted to dollars, not pesos.” 🇺🇸➡️🇲🇽
He immediately asked me to create an invoice for the difference so he could reimburse me 💛—and he did 🙏.
Even if he hadn’t been open to correcting it, I would have slept just fine that night 😌.
As we sorted out both the reimbursement and the payment for the meal I had just eaten, Gustavo shared why he accepts bitcoin ⚡.
He’s 45 and recently became a father 👶.
His son, Pablo, is seven months old 🍼.
Gustavo’s vision is to save every bitcoin payment from his two restaurants and condos as a long-term college fund for Pablito 🎓📚🟠.
I got to meet his wife, Diana, and their baby that day 🤍.
That moment really clicked for me.
This is why Bitcoin circular economies matter 🌍🔁.
Bitcoin isn’t just technology or an investment 💻📈.
It’s a means of exchange that creates real, visible hope—helping families build toward their children’s future ✨🧡.
In the process of onboarding Gustavo to nostr as well. Will keep this thread updated if he makes an account so we can welcome him!

Inspired by @npub155c…dfkh

2025-12-31 23:07:08 UTC

The Health “Hack” No One Talks About
When I worked at a psychiatric hospital in the suburbs of Kansas City, one aspect of patient care left a lasting impression on me.
Part of treatment involved observing a patient’s personal environment. No one was forced to clean, and it was never framed as punishment or compliance. But we paid attention to their space.
Was the bed reasonably made?
Were clothes put away?
Was the bathroom kept in usable condition?
Was the bedside table free of old food, empty cups, or excess clutter?
These observations weren’t just about aesthetics. They functioned as clinical indicators.
A patient’s ability to maintain a basic level of cleanliness and organization was often considered when assessing readiness for discharge and independent living. It reflected executive functioning, cognitive clarity, emotional regulation, and capacity for day-to-day self-care.
In practice, the pattern was consistent. When someone was overwhelmed or acutely unwell, their environment often deteriorated alongside them. As they stabilized, their space tended to follow. The room came back online as the person did.
This wasn’t about perfection or rigid standards. It was about bandwidth.
My Relationship With Cleaning
That insight landed differently for me because my relationship with cleaning growing up wasn’t neutral.
I grew up in a household where cleaning often carried stress. Sometimes it was framed as punishment. Other times it was reactive—everything left until the last minute before guests arrived, resulting in panic, overwhelm, and feeling behind before we even started.
As an adult, I had to consciously unlearn the automatic anxiety I associated with cleaning and organizing. The root of cleaning anxiety connects to the broken fiat monetary system we find ourselves in as well.
Over the past several decades, the economic reality for families has changed significantly. Since the 1970s, the percentage of households requiring two full-time working parents has roughly doubled. This is where my family fell. Mom is a school teacher. Dad runs a small business. Growing up, my mom briefly worked as a stay at home mom before financial demands becoming unmanageable, forcing her back into the classroom. At the same time, inflation has steadily eroded purchasing power, leaving families with less margin—financially, mentally, and physically.
Many households weren’t disorganized because of lack of care. They were and are stretched thin.
When both parents are working, time becomes scarce. Energy becomes rationed. Tasks like cleaning shift from maintenance tasks to luxury tasks when time permits. Not because people don’t value order, but because they’re operating at capacity.
Environment as an Indicator
What I observed in clinical settings helped reframe this further.
The state of someone’s environment wasn’t treated as a character assessment. It was information. One data point among many indicating how much internal capacity someone had at that moment.
That same framing applies outside of hospitals.
A disorganized environment often reflects:
cognitive overload
nervous system strain
lack of time for recovery
prolonged stress without adequate support
Improving one’s environment can reduce background stress and make daily functioning easier. Sometimes internal stability leads to environmental order. Other times, small environmental changes help create the conditions for improved clarity and regulation.
A Practical Reframe
When we talk about improving health—through nutrition, movement, light exposure, or sleep—a tidy environment is rarely mentioned. Yet it quietly shapes how easy or difficult daily life feels.
The internal and external tend to move together. Paying attention to one can offer insight into the other.
It’s all connected.
So the next time you think about ways to “optimize” or improve your health, consider your environment.
What does its current state say about your life?
Is it organized or chaotic?
Disheveled or intentional?
Are there objects you’re holding onto that belong to a past version of yourself?
You may find that by tending to the external physical world you live in, you also begin to create more space, clarity, and calm within your internal world.

If you’re optimizing health, skip the Bluetooth wearables.
Most trackers sit directly on your skin and pulse non-native EMF 24/7 — not ideal for mitochondria, sleep, or hormones.
A low-tech approach actually gives you cleaner signals from your own biology.
Pen + paper for sleep, movement, sunlight, hydration, and mood beats another always-on device.
If you want metrics, use an old-school heart-rate chest strap (Bluetooth off) or choose a device that stays in true airplane mode.
Just keep in mind: it’s easy to get more connected to the data than to yourself.
Remove the middleman + the noise and your body will communicate with you as long as you’re listening.

“How many da Vincis are out there that have been crushed by the public school system & the 9–5?” ~ @nprofile…q0rd
When I heard this on the podcast, I actually laughed. It’s a bit comical to picture today’s tech-addicted and soft-parented kids ever becoming a sort of Da Vinci level genius. Then a certain gravity struck me because there’s a painful grain of truth underneath this question.
Think about it:
Today’s kids are bathed in blue light, surrounded by non-native EMFs, sitting in front of screens for eight hours a day, being told exactly what to memorize and how to think… starting at five or six years old.
And if a child doesn’t comply with this system?
If they’re curious, energetic, imaginative, or simply don’t fit the mold?
They’re labeled.
“Disruptive.”
“Hyperactive.”
“Behavioral issue.”
And then the referrals start.
Teachers suggest evaluations.
Psychologists get involved.
Psychiatrists prescribe.
Suddenly Big Pharma enters the chat — and kids’ developing brains are being chemically altered with stimulants or other psychiatric medications. Parents go along with it because they trust the system. They assume the professionals would never do anything to harm their child. They assume this is normal.
But talk to enough adults and you’ll hear the same story over and over — a version of this exact pipeline. And when you zoom out, it really does look… dystopian.
Which brings me back to Walker’s quote:
How many brilliant, creative, passionate kids never reach their potential because the system wasn’t built for them to thrive — it was built to contain and indoctrinate them?
And what might the world look like if we stopped drugging and infiltrating the young brain with unnatural environments and started cultivating them instead?

What are the best Bitcoin-aligned charitable causes to support?
Every year my family does Secret Santa. We each draw one name, buy for one person, and avoid the chaos of everyone buying for everyone. Without some kind of boundary, a holiday meant to celebrate a King who poured Himself out for others quickly spirals into a morning of accumulating more stuff than any of us could possibly need.
At some point we noticed the pattern: after the third or fourth gift from different people, you almost go numb. It’s that weird catatonic moment where you’re smiling and saying “thank you,” but inside you’re thinking, I don’t actually need any of this… and where on earth am I going to put it?
Anyone else ever hit that point?
So this year, we’re shifting things. We’re intentionally pushing back against the consumerism that’s crept into Christmas and refocusing on what this season is actually about: bringing hope, loving the forgotten, and shining light into dark places.
We lowered our limit of what we’re spending on gifts and shifting that extra money into donating to the charity chosen by our Secret Santa.
I’d love to pick a Bitcoin-focused organization or a project dedicated to holistic, natural health literacy — something that genuinely empowers people in the long term.
If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
And while you’re here, I’d also love to know: what traditions or rituals does your family practice to keep the heart of Christmas front and center?

Sometimes I forget how varied financial literacy is even amongst my own friends & family.
I was talking to my dad recently about how the inflation number the government puts out is a joke.
He was genuinely confused when he said, “How do they do that?”
He had no idea that the CPI is manipulated to hide inflation.
1. The CPI basket changes over time
If steak gets too expensive, the model assumes you’ll “substitute” with chicken.
So the government counts the price of chicken… not the fact that you can no longer afford steak. Not to mention that there is a pharma industrial complex for anti-meat lobbying.
2. They use “hedonic adjustments”
If a product is “better” than last year—like your phone—they adjust the price down in the index because you’re “getting more value.”
Even if you paid more dollars.
3. Housing is based on “Owners’ Equivalent Rent”
Instead of home prices, they ask homeowners: “What would your house rent for?”
This means housing inflation can be wildly understated—especially during bubbles.
4. Energy and food get downplayed
Core CPI removes them because they’re “volatile”… but they’re also the things people buy & use every single day.
Just to name a few.
Many people don’t realize that the headline inflation number is:
• a model,
• full of assumptions,
• adjusted by economists,
• and not designed to track real world affordability.
It’s not that the CPI is fake—it’s just designed for policy, not for your wallet.
And once you explain that, people suddenly understand why the official “3% inflation” never matches the lived reality of groceries, housing, insurance, and medical bills. So while the CPI is not “fake” it’s not exactly real either.

According to this article, there’s much more than that in the bitcoin loan market today and expected to grow to almost 60 billion by 2031. I don’t think it’s a good idea or aligned with the Bitcoin ethos but obviously lots of people disagree with me on that or see things differently.

You’re preaching to the choir my friend. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea or very aligned with the Bitcoin ethos. But there’s a lot of Bitcoiners out there who are doing it. Perhaps for people who want access to liquidity without having to sell their coins, it’s worth the risk. I’m sure lots of these people will get the best of both worlds (realizing some wealth of their coins without having to sell) without ever being margin called. It’s just an individual risk benefit analysis.
Some interesting data from chat gpt:
• For Bitcoin-backed loans (i.e., loans where Bitcoin is used as collateral), some platforms report significant volumes — e.g., one article notes that in the first half of 2024, one lender saw ~US$191 million in Bitcoin-backed loans.
• Market size projections: one research piece estimates the global “Bitcoin Loan Market” was ~US$6.72 billion in 2023, forecasted to grow to ~US$59.44 billion by 2031.

I’ve found value in Jack’s insights, but have always wondered why strike is custodial & KYC if he’s a true bitcoiner. Self custody is the key to financial sovereignty. He’s not the only person doing bitcoin loans, just supplying what the market is demanding.
My question is - Why is the market demanding it in the first place?
I couldn’t agree more that it’s a weird contradiction that Bitcoiners are using the debt based fiat system at all. It’s definitely not my approach.

Why would they sell and not take a loan against it? @nprofile…r9kj explained some motivations for why an OG would sell now (buying things with utility value) but why not buy those things with a dirty fiat loan and hold the hard money?

💭 Thought Experiment: Financial Privacy in 2025
If cash is disappearing, banks offer no privacy, and privacy tools are being prosecuted…
is financial surveillance becoming unavoidable?
And if so — how does someone protect their privacy without becoming a criminal?
Because today, the landscape looks like this:
📜 Legal Reality
• Bank Secrecy Act (1970) + Patriot Act (2001): Banks are legally required to report your financial activity (SARs, CTRs). The Supreme Court (U.S. v. Miller, 1976) ruled you have no constitutional right to privacy over your bank records.
• Using cash? Still legal — but increasingly impractical in a digital economy. Many countries are actively reducing cash use or setting limits.
• Using privacy tech? Developers of tools like Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash are being charged under unlicensed money transmission (18 U.S.C. §1960) or money laundering statutes, even if they never held customer funds.
📍 Financial Privacy — Two Paths
1️⃣ Comply with the System
• Fully legal (banks, exchanges, future CBDCs)
• No real financial privacy — all transactions monitored
• Banks are required by law to report activity (Bank Secrecy Act, Patriot Act, SAR/CTR reports)
• Supreme Court case U.S. v. Miller (1976) — you have no constitutional right to privacy over bank records
• Clear message: “You can use money… but only if you’re willing to be watched”
2️⃣ Use Financial Privacy Tools (self-custody, mixing, non-KYC Bitcoin)
• Offers higher privacy and true ownership
• But increasingly treated as suspicious or criminal
• Developers of Samourai Wallet, Tornado Cash, etc. charged under 18 U.S.C. §1960 (unlicensed money transmission) and anti-money laundering laws
• You can be legal, but appear on a radar — or be accused of “facilitating crime”
• Implied message: “If you want privacy, you must accept legal risk”
⸻
🧠 The Real Question:
If one path means surveillance and the other means potential criminalization…
Do we still treat privacy as a right — or just a permission the state can revoke?

It’s so obvious now that I spend most of my time on nostr instead of IG, twitter, etc, just how toxic those systems are. However, it’s only toxic to people that engage with it. The power is taken away by simply removing our attention as this graphic shows. How do we get more people over to nostr? I was purple pilled by listening to a podcast with @nprofile…5njz and Robert Breedlove. Most of my friends / family wouldn’t take the time to listen to a long form podcast tho. Any tips / tricks on purple pilling others is welcome.

Surfing is a metaphor for life 🌊
This week in the @BitcoinJungle 🏝️ I’ve been learning so much about the deeper lessons surfing teaches me about life itself.
Our instructor said something that really stuck with me:
“Surfing is a lot of feeling.”
Feeling the water — knowing when it’s time for me to paddle out, and when it’s time to catch the wave.
Feeling where I am on the board 🏄‍♀️
Feeling the wave moving beneath me — powerful, alive, energetic.
Out there, I can’t control the waves, the weather, the current, or the people around me 🌬️🌊
But I can control my training, my preparation, my mindset, my attitude, and my approach. 💪✨
That’s life too — I can’t control what comes my way, only how I meet it. 🌅

About halfway through this podcast and wow—such a high-signal convo. You don’t need to be a parent to get value from this one.
💡 Delayed obedience is disobedience
💡 Obey first, ask questions later
💡 Make good decisions, be good leaders
💡 Your kids need you to be present
💡 90% of being a good parent is just being a good person
I’m not a parent (yet), but these are mantras I want to revisit if / when the time comes.

This is so fiat. 🫠 We literally have a pregnant man emoji (🫃🏼, added in 2021 to be “inclusive”) but no separate baby boy 👶👦 or baby girl 👶👧 emojis. Just one generic 👶.
The Unicode Consortium (the group that decides emojis) says you’re “supposed” to combine the baby emoji with boy/girl if you want to be specific. Meanwhile, entirely new “inclusive pregnancy” emojis get their own dedicated slot.
How detached from reality have we become?

It’s obvious you’ve thought about this a lot. Your analysis makes sense. Whether its nefarious or ignorant, when will people wake up to the fact that as pharma companies’ profits and healthcare spending have grown so have chronic disease rates? Whatever we’re doing, despite the motive, isn’t working.

2025-09-23 01:02:14 UTC

It’s not hard to imagine the pharma playbook: promote a drug as ‘safe’ for mothers (like Tylenol in pregnancy), only to see strong associations later with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD — conveniently creating a market for more drugs like Adderall to ‘treat’ the very conditions they may have helped cause
