## Resource

We’re back for “episode 5b” after last week’s kerfluffle, and we kick off with your Value‑for‑Value boosts, shout‑outs, and a quick download on show stats and hosting. From there we dive into practical Bitcoin life: the Lightning wallets we actually use (and why), node setups, when to use swaps and CoinJoin, and simple ways to bridge Lightning and on‑chain without losing your mind. We also share day‑to‑day routines that keep us steady—yoga, cold showers, meditation, sunlight, grounding, blue‑light hygiene—and swap notes on Jack Kruse, John Ott, and eating with the seasons. Rounding it out: orange‑pilling local merchants, a fun “Market Square” idea to spotlight builders, cacao and coffee talk, and even a little Pokémon and vintage marbles before the guitar plays us out. Big takeaways: keep Bitcoin tooling simple until you need the advanced stuff; privacy is a spectrum (Wasabi and UTXO management help); small wins in the circular economy matter (buying coffee with sats, setting up friends with Lightning); and building resilient lives looks a lot like permaculture—diverse inputs, steady habits, and patience.
