Here are some shots I took today during Chicago’s dyeing-the-river-green St. Patrick’s Day weekend celebration 🍀 It was a beautiful morning full of people-watching!

I was just thinking how cool it would be if Canopy Growth Corp. and Hershey’s collaborated together to bring some delightful treats to customers. Are there any brands you wished collaborated together for any purpose? image

I kid you not!!! The PILOT episode of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE from September 1974 kicks off the episode talking about Bitcoin!!!!!!!!!!! As a kid watching this show, I never made the connection. Now, I'm going to rewatch it through a new lens!

It's been roughly three years, nine months and fifteen days since the last #bitcoin halving. So far, each epoch has been less than four years. I know others can calculate the time with much greater precision than "days", but this is as much as my brain can put together! image

Greetings and PV Nostriches! At the end of 2022, I got an S9 miner for fun, to learn more about mining, and apparently to heat my office too! Since I started "hobby mining", I've been tracking my energy usage, the weather, sats earned, etc. I thought I would share a bit of that with you fine folks. The below grid shows my average and total energy usage per month and year. (This is all of my energy consumption in my home from everything, not only mining.) The obfuscated figures are my hard dollar costs charged to me by my utility provider - it includes taxes, fees, everything. I'm watching my year-over-year change in energy usage as well as these same stats when my miner is OFF vs. ON. Finally, not shown, is how many sats I've earned as rewards. I track those daily as well summarizing total 'units' aka sats received per month. I assign a daily value to those sats based on Yahoo!'s "closing price" of bitcoin for the day. I then take that monthly "value" of sats versus my monthly cost for the energy to see how much I "lost" in fiat for the month. On average, I 'lose' about $2.50 per day. Or, my energy costs are $2.50 more than the value of sats I receive. (Again, I know I am using energy for other stuff.) All things being equal, if I stopped right now, bitcoin would need to reach $243,456.94 per coin for me to breakeven. Cheers! image
