I have been listening to The Bitcoin Standard audiobook (finally, amirite??) and I’m about three hours in. We always say to “change your unit of account” or “change the denominator” meaning to view all your transactions in terms of Bitcoin. I had an epiphany… how would that look like? How do we conceptualize it after being indoctrinated to fiat currency all our lives? It’s been bugging me for the last few days so, yes, on a Friday night instead of going out, I wanted to flesh this idea out. I think I came up with something akin to the time units used in the movie “In Time” with Justin Timberlake. I’m calling the method The Bitcoin Time Gauge or perhaps the unit being called a “Bitcoin Second.” Anyway, long story short, I should probably get to bed. Here’s a photo of what I came up with to find how many Bitcoin Seconds you have in your lifetime. Please tell me if this is stupid or not, but yeah, I should probably get to bed.

@Michael Saylor and associates released their Bitcoin24 Model recently. I discovered it through @Simply Bitcoin's video today. Here's a link to the GitHub so you can download the Excel spreadsheet and input your own calculations.

With everyone talking about the HBO doc, I'll put my two sats. I had been thinking it was Len Sassaman for quite a few years now. Some people refute it, but the puzzle pieces fit best IMO.

Hey @Derek Ross, have there been any updates to nostrplebs/nostrpurple since I was gone? Any plans to further devlopment?

Feed is slowing down... does that mean it's time for GN? GN, Nostr 😴 🌙

Per Nostrudel, I've made 133,180 sats since joining Nostr. At today's current price, that's $81.38. Nice... 😎

Me: "How the f*** they gonna be able to make babies do that?"

Bought Bitcoin 🌽 on the cheap ($61k), got @Alby working (some kind of bug or browser config issue in Brave), enabled zaps on Nostr again (phew 😮‍💨), all while the world is crumbling today with war and vice presidential debates. Back to making memes for Nostr too?

Wow, just hit over a thousand followers. I've never had this reach on any other platform. #LongLiveNostr

Just read this blog post by the CEO of Tailscale. I have known about it for the last couple of years, but had no clue how hyped I would be after reading this. Long story short, he talks about how we no longer need client-server relationships and how every device can be a peer on The Internet. This is direct from their website, so give it a read (or have your computer speak it to you if you have a web extension). ~The New Internet~
