Mainstream anchor mentions (at least three times) - jokingly - that he's bought some bitcoin. Don't underestimate this. Quips like that give a lot of people 'permission' to experiment, and begin the learning process. Years ago, all it took for me to take action was to hear a friend mention he had some. Never looked back.

Can't help but think @Michael Saylor's delivery was heavily inspired by @Gigi's epic videos. Slides are way more dense, of course. But the energy/spirit is the same. πŸ’ͺ 🧑

At least we're at the point that the mainstream anchor is asking a reasonable question: "Is the risk associated with crypto as a currency, or the structures around it?"

Q: "What's the point of a bitcoin national reserve?" A: (from journalist covering 'crypto' for a while now) No answer. No steelman argument, nothing. πŸ¦— πŸ€”

Worked myself down to a zero car lifestyle (starting from two) during the bear, to stack more. It's been great. Got curious today, and went to the Toyota dealer to have a look. They couldn't show me any of the three models I was interested in. Not even a floor model. image

If you didn't buy bitcoin last month at $60,000 it's ok because you can buy it today at $92,420. And in ten years you can add a few zeros. πŸ¦• πŸ¦– πŸ’€

PSA: it’s not too late to start your 100 push-ups/squats per day. Do it.

Given the datacenter capital of the world managed to nucleate near Dulles airport (IAD), it acts as a constant highly visible reminder to anyone visiting the capital. Having attended a very relevant conference this week, I heard several gov't officials commenting about the crazy growth and energy footprint of data-centers in their backyard. I wonder to what extent over-indexing of this issue is taking place with public officials chartered with regulating this space. It's easy to get all worked up about something that's in your backyard, and ignore it if it's out of sight. NIMBYism taking place at a regulatory level in real time. Or, is the opposite true? Does having something nearby give you a certain familiarity and comfort level that makes it manageable? image

Happy Sunday, everyone. 🌞 Today's tune is dedicated to @Steven Lubka Helios Overture by Carl Nielsen (1903) One day, while sun maxxing overlooking the Aegean Sea, Nielsen was inspired to write this piece in honor of the sun. It tracks a full day from before dawn to after dusk. "Silence and darkness, The sun rises with a joyous song of praise, It wanders its golden way and sinks quietly into the sea." #tunestrsunday
