New form of marketing by sending me stats is incredible 🤯… @Blockstream

Sending it into the new year at Baldface Lodge!

If something ignites visceral hatred in you, it says more about you than it does about the thing.

I listen to both podcasts with @ODELL & @HODL on @jack mallers @Danny Knowles and absolutely love all the takes and options. These guys are on point! The one thing I disagree with @ODELL on is deleting himself from X and all other social media…. As a film maker, I’ll use a film analogy / perspective… if your movie is the most important thing to you keep posting the teaser / trailer on as many platforms as possible to reach as many people as possible. It really doesn’t make sense to go 100% all in on primal when barely anyone is here yet… my 2 cents is would be to use the other platforms to promote this platform and bitcoin… eventually the best marketing for Nostr / Primal will be the continued censorship… but if you aren’t out there telling people you are just speaking to and already “in the know” crowd. Kinda pointless

Macro 2025 must listen @preston @Luke Gromen

Baldface ❄️ once of the most iconic snowboarding locations on the planet. Blessed to be bringing in the New Year shredding some pow. 🏂

SpaceX launches in California are pretty sweet to watch.

26 days till day 1 executive order to buy bitcoin. This doesn’t feel priced in.

I’ve been testing out different wallets. Just tried Bitkey for the first time, it was super easy and seamless. What’s the downside risk compared to a Jade, Ledger, ColdCard or others? Is there a bitcoin amount that warrants more security than just one set up? When does one start to use unchained or casa to help with custody?

Rumor has it Bitcoin is the new oil… and if your wondering what that means with the incoming administration… here is the history of the creation of the petrodollar in1973. It was part of a broader agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia, whereby Saudi Arabia agreed to price its oil sales exclusively in U.S. dollars in exchange for military protection and economic benefits. This system linked the dollar to global oil trade, significantly reinforcing its status as the world’s reserve currency. Oil Prices Before 1973 •Pre-1973: Oil prices were relatively stable, as oil was mostly priced under the agreements of the Seven Sisters (major oil companies). From 1948 to 1972, oil prices hovered around $2.50–$3.00 per barrel in nominal terms. •Adjusted for inflation, this was roughly equivalent to $15–$20 per barrel in today’s terms. Oil Prices After 1973 •Post-1973 Oil Crisis: After the creation of the petrodollar and the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo, oil prices surged. By the end of 1974, oil prices had increased by nearly 400%, rising to $11 per barrel (about $65 per barrel in today’s terms). •This marked the end of the era of cheap oil and the beginning of more volatile oil prices, heavily influenced by geopolitics. The 1973 oil shock underscored the importance of Middle Eastern oil producers in global markets, and the petrodollar system ensured that the U.S. would continue to benefit economically from global oil trade.

When you start to price things in bitcoin terms, you really start to see the hurdle rate companies face. 1-year returns for the “Magnificent Seven” stocks and Bitcoin, both in USD terms and adjusted to Bitcoin (BTC) terms. 1-Year Returns in Bitcoin terms: CompanyTicker1-Year Return in BTC Terms (%) Apple Inc.AAPL-113.48% Microsoft CorporationMSFT-91.95% Alphabet Inc.GOOGL-70.89% Amazon.com Inc.AMZN-77.68% NVIDIA Corp.NVDA+81.61% Tesla Inc.TSLA-147.47% Meta Platforms Inc.META-46.25%

This 5 minute video is a game changer to helping re-map your mind and understand how bitcoin is re-pricing all other assets. @preston @Brady
