My experience with 0.5g Magic Mushrooms
I was at work and took 0.5g Magic Mushrooms (in video game). I've been suspended for about 10 days straight by the way which is why I couldn't respond to anybody. They're getting trigger happy. I guess it's my turn to get on the reddit cross eventually lol.
Someone asked "Why did you only take 0.5g? You should have taken more for a real trip". Well, I did answer him already, but again, I was at work, and there are different methods of consumption for shrooms, nowadays one method is to consume it in what appears to be commercial packaging, mixed in with candy for example in an air tight wrapping. You won't know sometimes what strength anything is, especially if it's in a chocolate bar. Sure, they say it has x amount of grams, but regardless, even one mushroom from a different strain can contain much more pscilocybin than expected. It's smart to give your new product a little try before you go all in. There's nothing to miss out on with shrooms, that I know of. This is very comforting. Shrooms are like Bitcoin, you can just consume more if you want more. Unlike how it is with LSD, where even taking 10 micrograms could increase your tolerance such that taking 1000 micrograms more in the next hour and a half where you start to feel the initial dose will probably have no effect, that I know of, other than perhaps further increasing your tolerance. With just the initial dose of 10ug, 24 hours later you will probably be able to take 100ug and feel the effect of a 60ug dose. Usually it takes about a week or two for LSD to feel like it should. With shrooms, I've never had to worry about tolerance. It's easygoing. I just take more if I want to after I feel it out. With that being said, I would never recommend someone to consume mushrooms in commercial packaging. I'd rather eat the source. I don't know what you put into the chocolate bar. I don't want to have to trust you. I don't want to be on a psychedelic high worrying about how you poisoned me. These things matter. Making good decisions and being patient will make you feel better overall about yourself. No point in being sloppy about it. If other people want to play risky games, so be it. I don't like to depend on other people though. They're simply unreliable. They're there and then they're not. They're smiling and enjoyable to speak to in one moment and in the next, they're not. Other people are undependable outside of the short moments that we share. The more we learn of each other and the more time we spend with each other, the more of their nasty side that I can see, until I see that there's nothing more to see and all that is left is a nasty smelly wall 🧱. I can't let their rotten, cockroach infused DNA meddle with my life experience any longer. The best I can do is trust you to give me some cracker dry mushrooms. That's enough faith for me.
People expect you to have a lot of faith, even to give yourself to a god. I can't do this. During my experience on shrooms, I realized this. It just doesn't make sense. The cultural programming I've received becomes too obvious when I take a psychedelic. In my case, the cultural programming of Christianity is one of the things that hide in my subconscious. It's always there and lurking. Somewhere inside of my brain, Christianity resides permanently, shaping who I am. Taking a psychedelic trip lets me know that this is true because senses become heightened and everything in not only your immediate environment starts to seem more important, but everything else too, like the existence of many religious books and the understanding one may gain not from their surface level appearance but their ability to provide you with an understanding of a generally understood concept which we all find really confusing and which is forbidden to speak on, which is what path to take, who to depend on, who to be led by.
When taking mushrooms, it became obvious that people are headless chickens running around aimlessly. That's it. Value is hard to come by. It's seemingly nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, people really don't care about each other. They will walk by as you scream asking for help with an annoyed look on their face. Unless they know you, they most likely want you to shut up and fuck off. This aspect of life is really confusing, disappointing and dangerous.
What loomed over my head is the feeling that I'm being watched by an evil force. This feeling is common from my understanding, I remember a friend telling me the same thing when we both took a decent dose of LSD. Now, I think I've come to understand what I mean by this. It's a feeling that isn't freedom. It isn't peace. It isn't heaven. I can't walk around and feel free, if I do it's a delusion and a sickness. Otherwise worded as an evolutionary adaptation, also described by normies as just being strong. When I'm sober, I feel safe. On shrooms, I can't even take an elevator with other people anymore because I fear getting stabbed. I can't eat their food because I fear feeling poison. What becomes clear when I take it is that I don't like having faith in others. I have contempt for being forgotten. I want to be remembered for who I was and what I stood for, but this isn't the average state of mind. People relegate themselves to being forgotten and not mattering. They tell themselves that they can't do anything to stop evil. Well guess what, that's bullshit. The problem is that they see evil things happening right in front of their eyes and they simply don't do anything about it, ever. Then problems become large scale because we can't even be decent on a small scale. Instead, people are running off of their instincts and doing what feels good at every turn. The understanding behind this concept is as simple as sexual selection. We don't have sex with ugly people because it isn't going to make us feel good. When you have a nice car, it makes people jealous and feel bad, so they do bad things to you because you're a source of their misery. They don't understand it, they just hate you for being strong competition. Making good decisions is something people hate. The closer you get to the truth, the more you distance yourself from the portion of the world who are these headless chickens.
By the time you understand what you're dealing with, you realize that money is really important. The weird thing about slaves is that they can't stop being slaves. They don't want to work together to try to become rich. So when you have things you don't consider to be special they get envious and hate you, such as not having tattoos and being able to show off your arms at work comfortably, or having a cheap car and being frugal. When you just make good decisions like being a minimalist, some people get so bitter that they themselves can't stop doing stupid things and being total jackasses. They can't stop wasting their money on stupid shit and save a dollar for once. Always making an excuse for everything and hating on someone who has achieved something when clearly they could just stop being a little whiny bitch about it and themselves work to attain it. Unfortunately the conflict is eternal. It seems the only way to get them to shut up is to keep growing larger and distancing yourself infinitely. They will only want to interact with you to take from you. When you finally meet them, they want some free shit just for being born. Then they'll take that free shit and give it to someone richer than you. Clown world. To end my post, here's a quote from Niccolo Machiavelli:
Although the envious nature of men, so prompt to blame and so slow to praise, makes the discovery and introduction of any new principles and systems as dangerous almost as the exploration of unknown seas and continents, yet, animated by that desire which impels me to do what may prove for the common benefit of all, I have resolved to open a new route, which has not yet been followed by any one, and may prove difficult and troublesome, but may also bring me some reward in the approbation of those who will kindly appreciate my efforts.
And if my poor talents, my little experience of the present and insufficient study of the past, should make the result of my labors defective and of little utility, I shall at least have shown the way to others, who will carry out my views with greater ability, eloquence, and judgment, so that if I do not merit praise, I ought at least not to incur censure.
When we consider the general respect for antiquity, and how often – to say nothing of other examples – a great price is paid for some fragments of an antique statue, which we are anxious to possess to ornament our houses with, or to give to artists who strive to imitate them in their own works; and when we see, on the other hand, the wonderful examples which the history of ancient kingdoms and republics presents to us, the prodigies of virtue and of wisdom displayed by the kings, captains, citizens, and legislators who have sacrificed themselves for their country, – when we see these, I say, more admired than imitated, or so much neglected that not the least trace of this ancient virtue remains, we cannot but be at the same time as much surprised as afflicted. The more so as in the differences which arise between citizens, or in the maladies to which they are subjected, we see these same people have recourse to the judgments and the remedies prescribed by the ancients. The civil laws are in fact nothing but decisions given by their jurisconsults, and which, reduced to a system, direct our modern jurists in their decisions. And what is the science of medicine, but the experience of ancient physicians, which their successors have taken for their guide? And yet to found a republic, maintain states, to govern a kingdom, organize an army, conduct a war, dispense justice, and extend empires, you will find neither prince, nor republic, nor captain, nor citizen, who has recourse to the examples of antiquity! This neglect, I am persuaded, is due less to the weakness to which the vices of our education have reduced the world, than to the evils caused by the proud indolence which prevails in most of the Christian states, and to the lack of real knowledge of history, the true sense of which is not known, or the spirit of which they do not comprehend. Thus the majority of those who read it take pleasure only in the variety of the events which history relates, without ever thinking of imitating the noble actions, deeming that not only difficult, but impossible; as though heaven, the sun, the elements, and men had changed the order of their motions and power, and were different from what they were in ancient times.

Cardano Daily Discussion - April 04, 2023
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Cardano Daily Discussion!
The standard sub rules apply here (see sidebar), with the exception that price discussion is allowed in this thread, though we encourage you to try not to make this the focus and talk about the project itself. Please ask questions, help others and be civil - be sure to get involved in Project Catalyst too!
If you're new, please make sure you're read through the newbies guide and share it with others (use the ?newbies comment command to reference it).
⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️
Please read the Cybersecurity guidelines for Cardano Users.
There are ongoing giveaway scams on youtube and many scammers lurking in Cardano's social channels impersonating ambassadors/moderators/official staff contacting users via direct messages.
For example, searching 'cardano' on youtube and sorting by most recent upload date shows several giveaway scams running (all videos in screenshot are scams):
Ongoing 'giveaway' scams on Youtube
The youtube scams are automated; use stolen footage usually of Charles Hoskinson and are restreamed so to appear to be 'live'; appear to have many watchers (which are bots); use bought hacked channels and are edited to appear like official channels.
See this post for more examples of what they look like
Do not be fooled!
To be clear:
- ⚠️ There is no such thing as a Cardano giveaway
- ⚠️ Never share your seed phrase with ANYONE
- ⚠️ Never send ADA to someone promising to send you more ADA back
- ⚠️ You will never be contacted by ambassadors/moderators/staff
Please report scams on the Cardano Fraud Detection Bureau.
⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️
Midnight Subreddit
In anticipation of Input Output's new data protection blockchain 'Midnight', I've managed to acquire r/Midnight through some negotiation and repurpose it for the Cardano Community (the sub was created for a card game back in 2011 but was mostly unused).
I decided to do this as I thought the project will eventually need a home on reddit and best to setup now before any scammers do. Obviously there's not much to post about on there right now as it's early days as the project is yet to be released, but if you'd like to be kept up to date on the project please feel free to join the new subreddit if the project interests you and I'll be sure to post updates as and when they become available.
Right now the sub is mostly a carbon copy of r/cardano, I've copied most of the automod and rules over, so certain aspects may seem a little incongruent atm, but I'll tailor and tweak the sub as we go. Feel free to send me or post any input if you want stuff to change.
Cheers all

US Bitcoin shareholders can dump their shares on the public markets.
Hut will experience more selling pressure going into the 2024/25 Bitcoin bullrun because of the US Bitcoin Merger. The US Bitcoin insiders finally got their liquidity event, (a private company's wet dream) so now the US Bitcoin shareholders can dump their shares on the public markets... basically on the backs of O.G Hut 8 shareholders. If Hut has to raise additional capital through equity in 2024 then it will be harder to establish and maintain any upward momentum.
Earning Money on Bybit: Trading, Referral Program, and Bonuses
Bybit is a popular cryptocurrency derivatives exchange that offers various opportunities for users to earn money. From trading perpetual contracts to benefiting from referral programs, there are several ways to generate income on the platform. In this article, we will discuss how you can earn money on Bybit, including the use of the Bybit referral code VIPGIFT.

Trading Perpetual Contracts
Perpetual contracts are a type of derivative product that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of cryptocurrencies without actually owning the underlying asset. Bybit offers perpetual contracts for major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. Traders can earn money by accurately predicting and capitalizing on price fluctuations of these digital assets.
Bybit Referral Program
Bybit's referral program is another way to earn money on the platform. Users can refer new traders to Bybit and receive a commission based on the trading fees generated by the referred users. To get started, users need to share their unique referral link or code with prospective traders.
The Bybit referral code VIPGIFT provides new users with a bonus when they sign up using the code and make a qualifying deposit. As a referrer, you will also receive a commission for each successful referral.
Popular Types of Bybit Bots
There are several types of Bybit bots available, each catering to different trading strategies and preferences. Some popular types include:
- Arbitrage bots: These bots capitalize on price discrepancies between different exchanges or markets, buying low on one platform and selling high on another. Arbitrage bots can be effective in generating profits from small, temporary price differences.
- Market making bots: Market making bots aim to profit from the bid-ask spread by placing limit orders on both sides of the order book. These bots help provide liquidity to the market and can benefit from frequent, small gains.
- Trend-following bots: These bots follow specific trends in the market, such as moving averages or momentum indicators. They aim to capitalize on established market trends by opening and closing positions in the direction of the trend.
- Mean reversion bots: Mean reversion bots are based on the assumption that prices will eventually revert to their historical averages. These bots identify and capitalize on price deviations from the mean, betting on the eventual return to equilibrium.
Bybit Bonuses and Promotions
Bybit occasionally offers bonuses and promotions for its users. These may include deposit bonuses, trading competitions, and other promotional events. By participating in these promotions and meeting specific criteria, users can earn additional rewards.
For example, new users who sign up with the referral code VIPGIFT can receive a bonus upon making a qualifying deposit. Existing users can also benefit from ongoing promotions by staying informed about the latest offers and actively participating in them.
Staking
Although Bybit's primary focus is on perpetual contracts trading, the platform has introduced staking services for selected cryptocurrencies. Users can stake their digital assets and earn passive income in the form of staking rewards. Staking involves locking up a certain amount of cryptocurrency for a specified period, which helps secure the network and validate transactions. In return, users receive a share of the network's rewards.
Conclusion
Bybit offers multiple avenues for earning money, ranging from trading perpetual contracts to participating in referral programs and promotional events. By leveraging these opportunities and using the Bybit referral code VIPGIFT, users can maximize their earning potential on the platform. It is essential, however, to carefully consider the risks associated with trading and staking cryptocurrencies, and to only invest what you can afford to lose.
