The city is so fast paced! But the slowness of Bitcoin Transaction is my saving grace! When I parked at the coffee shop for the bitcoin a.t.m. it say's ten minute parking right on the parking stall! The bitcoin transaction to be confirmed from withdraw from the B.T.M. took well over an hour. I asked the coffee barista if it was okay I was still parked there. He says - it's okay the parking officer only works here before 4:30. Bitcoin to me is a very rugged asset. The fact I didn't know how long it would take, confronted with the fast paced circuitry of the city, while myself an outsider from a small town... I have learned much! Next time to have patience, check bitcoin transaction volume that day, input a higher transaction fee for faster withdraw time! I am my own bank with Bitcoin! It is a cyber punk luxury to behold! Going to a bitcoin a.t.m. is a sort of experimental adventure! Higher transaction fee will be helpful...still never know exactly how much of these bitcoin a.t.m.'s hold at a time. The long wait reminds me to take my time when confronted with the fast pace of the city. I cash out some bitcoin to invest in my next cashout of bitcoin to be that much easier!
Just feel good I can stash some money away for a later purpose. I need to find that place where I am at ease with myself and know how to navigate the environment I find myself in. Steemit and Bitcoin do mean allot to me. It's helping me save some sort of value that isn't tied up in a system that I would call oppressive towards the poor. My situation is screwed right now in ways from life's burdens. Still paying for a family crises that happened a few years ago, plus the family member in question still needs help that is partly beyond my means for now. Although I know I am lucky to have opportunities and many people are oppressed and in worse situations than I. Most important to feel wholesome in myself. To feel whole as a person and aware.
I'm thinking of the fast paced lifestyle of where I live. How I want to be able to take a breath. I remember how fast paced the culture I live in is, yet I know that a slower pace and attention can actually speed learning up. If only everyone could take a step back it seems... away from fast food, t.v. and 9-5 jobs... and oh no not going on a holiday or camping like a brat! That's a cop out.
Was disturbed by the news today as well... ... like how the richer countries don't help atrocities in other countries cause if they were to help them they would first have to recognise the harm they have committed against minority groups in their own countries first! The fast paced culture is tied in with that. And they don't understand technology speeds everything up, even though they invent all these gizmos they really don't know what they do! Or what they are doing! To social life. And the changes that come.
Well just thought I'd gab on here tonight. Not really trying to do or say anything. Just talking pretty much. Some thoughts inside my head. Maybe give out to many secrets. Should I keep more private. Nah, I don't think I'm giving anything away. Just working towards actually having something to say! Something worth promoting! Cause yea the current pop culture has nothing worth promoting or giving a thumbs up to right now. All the brutal violence on the news....nope even though technology....things haven't changed in a few thousand years and I'm sick of it!! Technology did nothing! Conditions are worse! Just more hidden, subtle and more desensitized people. Not me. I like to feel my emotions! Will never go on an anti-depressant ever!
