Not a real problem #Bitcoin Transactions are still flowing on the network, my nodes are up and running, my Bitaxe is hashing and the weather today is going to be good.

Got my first Bitaxe Supra - For the culture! Thanks to @Solo Satoshi for being a class act with the order and @skot9000 for making this possible! 🙏 While people are panicking over the drop in price of #Bitcoin I'm having real problems. Need to do some reorganising of my storage space where I have my router, server, Bitcoin nodes etc. Won't work as is. Will write more detailed posts about noise, overclocking, pools and what not later when I've got my second one setup and hashing.

ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) ... has one of the hardest hooks in all of dance music. If you haven't been off your rockers to this you still have something to look forward to in life. ... In fact, the track is so good Honorable C.N.O.T.E. sampled it for Gucci.

Death Stranding Director's Cut 🚨 I'm late as always. Just started playing it. This game so good I want to buy it again. Production level is crazy with story, game controls, music (!) etc. Within 20 minutes of playing there's a scene where you almost want to weep. Kojima 🙌

People going nuts over a repost Michael Dell did on a Michael Saylor post. Doesn't have to mean anything, but hopefully it does. In the meantime people could be giving flowers to those already doing what they can in the #Bitcoin space. Great episode where @BitcoinReadyMe talks about how @Botev_EN put #Bitcoin on its balance sheet and started accepting payments with @BtcpayServer I applaud all of you.
