Silk Road 2.0?

Civ Kit --- aims to establish a peer-to-peer electronic market system that is resistant to censorship and permissionless using Nostr and Lighnting ↓ Image
The Civ Kit combines the Nostr architecture with the Lightning Network:

prioritizing privacy and security through escrowed trades, decentralized identity, moderation, a P2P messaging protocol, and know-your-peer (KYP) oracles for adjudication. Image
The system aims to support all kinds of trading, including goods and services, and will emphasize trust and reputation within the marketplace.
The Civ Kit's design:

will utilize a universal credit score for all traders calculated by a combination of success of trades (Web-of-Stakes) and Web-of-Trust techniques that act as a "trustless source of truth."
The Civ Kit peer-review:

Reviewed by some of the best minds in the Lightning and Discreet Log Contract engineering communities, ensuring its technical robustness.
Nicholas Gregory, one of the authors of the Civ Kit, hopes that the initiative will boost Bitcoin's circular economy, which he believes has not reached its full potential in 2023.
Ray Youssef, founder of Paxful and another author of the Civ Kit, is committed to carrying on the work of Satoshi Nakamoto to provide the world with the ability to build unstoppable free markets.
The team behind the white paper is working to integrate the research into Noones, a new company dedicated to financial freedom in the Global South.

The Civ Kit is open for collaboration and publicly available on GitHub, promoting transparency and openness in its development.
By utilizing the Civ Kit, individuals and businesses can engage in P2P electronic markets without fear of censorship or permission, contributing to the growth and development of Bitcoin's circular economy and promoting financial freedom worldwide.

You are eating oils that were originally used for machinery back in the 1920’s.

They're making you fat & destroying your body.

So how did they get into our food?

(Seed oils origin story) ↓ Image
In the 1920s:
percentage of calories that were obtained from "vegetable" oils in the American diet amounted to 0%.

Today:
percentage of calories has risen to 17-18%
"Vegetable" oils were not originally called vegetable oils.

They were called “seed oils”, and they were only used in industrial machines before the early 1900’s.

To obtain and use vegetable oils, they all must be chemically extracted from grains, seeds, or beans.

I've lifted weights for 9 years.

If I could only pick one exercise, for each muscle..

This is what I would pick: ↓ Image
"Evidence continues to emerge that training at long muscle lengths has the greatest effect on hypertrophy" -
@BradSchoenfeld

But what the f**k does that mean? ↓
@BradSchoenfeld In simple terms, "long muscle lengths" means when your muscle is fully stretched. "Hypertrophy" means muscle growth.

So, picking exercises that are hardest in the stretched position are best for muscle growth.

Here are the exercises for each muscle group:

Low muscle mass leads to a shorter life.

Yet 60% of people don't lift weights.

To save yourself from losing 27% of your muscle by age 60, read this: Image
Sarcopenia (muscle loss) :

Occurs at a rate of 1-2% per year after age 30.

Weightlifting is the best way to reverse it.

This thread is to help you get started:
First and foremost:

Drop the ego.

I lift like 120 pound girl and get double the results because 80% of the results come from 20% of the range of motion (at the extremes)

Imagine lifting as a weighted stretch.

"This year I'm going to lose weight"

Problem : that goal is the outcome...

Here's the real goal : Image
Adopt the 80/20 lifestyle.

80% of the time I eat clean and workout:
- whole foods
- fast
- focused workouts (weighted stretch)

20% of the time I enjoy things like:
- pizza
- pancakes for breakfast on Sunday
- movie night
- whiskey

Balance is key.
Stop Trying So Hard:

I used to commit to a massive change all at once — I'd stop eating fun foods + hit long cardio sessions

After coming out of the gates red hot, I'd lose a few pounds, then slip up, then beat myself up until I eventually stop until next round of motivation

The Matrix ( #Bitcoin Version)

Neo: (normie)
Morpheus: (bitcoiners)
Agents: (government)

Neo had to make a choice between taking the red pill or the blue pill?

Morpheus guided him from being mislead by the Agents.

Taking the orange pill: ↓ Image
Matrix: a simulated reality,

The traditional financial system is the "matrix" that we all live in.

Most are unaware they are trusting banks & governments to determine the value of their money,

Morpheus (us):
we have patient with Neo (normie) to accept new reality
#Bitcoin parallel :

a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that operates outside of the traditional financial system.

It's a glitch in the matrix that allows us to break free from the constraints of government-controlled money.
