First look at the BitBox02 Nova is a pleasure. Looking forward to taking it through its setup paces on the new iOS application. A great showing by @npub1tg77...cxmt so far. Highly recommend the #bitbox02 family of #hardwarewallets. Here’s a referral if you want to get one yourself:
Healthy mining pools improve the network. Excited to make more spikes like these on Ocean.xyz: image
We were watching Below Deck and chef made some Lobstr Grill Cheese sandwiches for some demanding bitches. Shitty people suck. But we decided that it sounded fantastic. So we treated ourselves.
The book is cheap in AUG: Gift BTC deMystification to others... Chapter 1 is just a quick intro to how Bitcoin is a ledger, it being delivered by Satoshi, and what problem Bitcoin was created to solve. Links out of the paper chapter go to deeper knowledge about the digital ledger, the 2009 introduction, and the gist of a blockchain. ($10 Sale active at the lulu.com link. See my profile.)

I have determined something after months of running a Bitaxe Gamma 602. Value for value on nostr earns more than a Bitaxe on Ocean Pool. Make good content, people. Earn sats without burning electricity and heating up your office. Just zaps. Clean anonymous zaps. image
Had a great conversation with @Jake Woodhouse about the real estate market for The Jake Woodhouse Podcast. We talked about how many people own property and and could leverage that dormant equity to take a sizable bitcoin position at the individual level. We all can't be Michael Saylor, but we can go triple maxi at our own scale if our research guides us there. Here's the calculator link if you want to play with it live. Hit me up with questions if you like also.
Sold my bike on the cheap. End of an era on my Specialized Allez. I put about 5,000 miles on that one. Didn’t want to go bikeless, so I HAD to buy a replacement. The new Specialized Aethos joins the stable today. Described as a climber, its cost comes from its light weight. Its components are way updated from the Allez. Fully carbon build with disk brakes, and the electronic shifter should be interesting. Can’t wait to hit the road on the Aethos. Even found some shoes with my name on them.
After we learn, we teach. What if someone read an easy book... That lead them to understand Bitcoin's staying power... That lead them to seek equity to convert to Bitcoin... That lead them to hold Bitcoin alongside their house... Which gave them a low time preference... And gave them diamond hands... Which let Bitcoin realize it's value globally... While sitting in their self custody... What would that do for them? What would that do for their family? What would that do for your community? Buy some to give. Every one you buy prints two. I'll be giving them out too. After we learn, we teach.
@preston I was watching you talk through how people that think they'll sell at $1M don't understand what is playing out. I built this calculator for people to see what positioning some bitcoin alongside their mortgage and what the performance looks like. I like the tool. It even lets you diminish the returns and flatten the bear markets and tweak the price of bitcoin over the timeline of a mortgage. The problem I kept having was how much the bitcoin value was blowing out my chart after the first 7 to 10 years. It was undermining what otherwise seemed like credible data. I'm coming to terms that we just can't perceive what we're facing. We're just not wired to process the mass volume and exponential price explosion this is set up to deliver. Loved hearing that discussion. Very real. image
