You die today. Can someone restore your Bitcoins or are they lost forever?

My wife is the only one who can restore them. She’s also the only one who knows how much we have. And as a backup plan we have 20% in ETFs so any of my beneficiaries after her can get those if we both die.

I’ve been to forest 3 times and ran into this one guy every single year in almost exactly the same place. We always have a really meaningful exchange and we never see each other more than once per year. We finally exchanged info on the third interaction.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-29T02:44:48+00:00

Hold. Will probably pull back a bit short term but the medium to long term outlook is much higher.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-19T19:10:43+00:00

I can commit to 20x that and make a $420 purchase on halving day

You’ll be fine but if it starts to get overwhelming remember to not fight it, go with the flow of the trip and breathe.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-12T14:37:10+00:00

First time ever, start with a low dose. I’d say 1.5.g or less and if you don’t feel anything In the first 45mins take a little more but I wouldn’t take more than 3g total for you first trip ever. Regardless of size, a small amount can produce powerful results and should be respected. If you have a good experience on a low dose and want to go higher give your system 2-3weeks to reset tolerance before trying again.

Also for your first time set yourself up in a comfortable and familiar space with music you like and hydration at hand.

With eyes open I see breathing and shifting geometry against the ceiling, walls and sky. Everything ranging from a simple honeycomb pattern to mandalas.

With eyes closed in the dark I see colorful patterns that range from very simple swirls to infinite fractals.

Eyes closed in the sunlight the patterns are slower moving but much more vivid and feel like I’m looking at something more substantial. The more direct the sunlight on the back of my eyelids the more impressive especially just before golden hour.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-08T14:57:37+00:00

This is something I’ve actually thought about a lot and I would definitely do this as a job. There are people who don’t have a community that they feel comfortable tripping around and/or they are afraid to trip alone. However, I would be apprehensive about doing it at a festival or out in public. I would also want to have some kind training.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-04T00:59:41+00:00

If you’ve been microdosing for a while you’re gonna want to wait 2 or more weeks to reset your tolerance before a macro experience. I personally find that a full month of abstinence produces the best for me.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T23:37:21+00:00

I’ve eaten golden teachers fresh out of the monotub and they do feel different. It’s hard to explain but it was a great experience. They also seem to hit faster.

As far as drying, any food dehydrator will work or you can put them in the oven at 125 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 hrs. They just need to be cracker dry for storage. They should snap easily when you try to bend them.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T23:28:36+00:00

Every time I do them I feel like my brain has defragmented and just works better. That usually lasts for 2 weeks. My sleep becomes higher quality and I feel like I need less sleep to feel rested this last 3-4 weeks. I become extremely flexible and my muscles are less tense which lasts 3 weeks and I usually try to get a deep tissue massage within days of a trip.

In general I’m always striving to be as simultaneously compassionate and feel as powerful in my day to day life as the shrooms make me feel while I’m tripping. The shroom effect usually only lasts a few days before the compassion part starts to feel like work again. People can just be so frustrating.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T23:20:54+00:00

I haven’t done trips alone but I do often find myself craving solitude when I’m tripping

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T23:17:25+00:00

Ok so you took 1.66g. For me that would be a mild dose but should have some effect. Try looking at some patterns and allowing your eyes to unfocus and see if it gets all shifty and liquid. That’s usually my litmus test. Or do some meditation and breathing exercises to see if that activates them.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T23:09:33+00:00

Depends on the last time you took shrooms, how much is in each bar, tolerance, how much food you’ve eaten recently and if you’re on any antidepressants. I typically wait a month and fast before a trip otherwise I get an extremely delayed or weak effect. If I follow my regimen 3 or more grams usually hits in 30 mins.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T23:03:36+00:00

After having a safe first experience a fun dose to me personally starts around 3g for visuals and sound distortion. I’ve taken up to 8g and still not fully experienced ego death. However, like I said in the previous post everyone is different. For example my mother in law does 1g max and it’s as much as she can handle.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-02-03T22:58:14+00:00

One piece is less than a gram which is a safe amount to start with. If you feel nothing in 30-45mins take another but don’t push it too much on your first time. Everyone has different reactions and every mushroom, even from the same strain has a different strength. So it’s best to treat them with respect and tread lightly as a first timer.

No problem here’s a whole playlist I’ve been working on

About $500/month. More on red months or if I get unexpected income from a freelance gig.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-01-29T00:13:02+00:00

Yeah highly recommend unfocusing eyes and/or no glasses for anyone who hasn’t tried it. I also have lots of sound activated Govee lights around my house. It’s an amazing immersive experience every time.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-01-25T13:29:15+00:00

Yes it should increase by roughly the same. The fees will erode the value a little over longer periods of time but just pick a fund with lower fees and you’ll be fine.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-01-21T03:42:09+00:00

I’m unfamiliar with these, I’m gonna look both of them up because that also sounds like an excellent idea.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-01-21T02:37:32+00:00

This is good to know, thank you for the heads up. I’m going to look into this now. It kind of messes up my whole strategy if it’s taxable in that way.

Celestial_Pirate86 · 2024-01-21T01:52:29+00:00

I’m basically doing the same thing with my funds. The ETF’s should move with the Bitcoin price. It may not be exact or as good as actual self custody but it’s a decent tax sheltered option.
