Was nice to meet PlebSource at #MiningDisrupt. Snagged this bad boy from them. Also good to see the @Solosatoshi.com 🇺🇸 booth there. Missed @CryptoCloaks™ though. Solo Lotto Collection thanks all of these reliable Bitaxe shops.

Touching grass in autumn. Beautiful day.

The side room of my barber shop. I dig places with character.

You a globally aware bitcoiner? What’s your take on this? Watch at a minimum to the 9min mark before bailing. Just watch and tell me what you think. This is a whole new level of 10,000ft view that I don’t have the means to verify.

Was just talking with Luke and the Mechanic at Mining Disrupt in Dallas today and they called out that the soft fork puts consensus back in play for the network. Here’s the take in detail...

If you want to desensitize yourself from drops, just look at the price in Euros more often than USD. 1 BTC = 1 BTC

The Bitcoin Mechanic at Ocean Mining Pool (ocean.xyz) explains to Mining Disrupt why miners need to run nodes, and need to exercise their status as solo miners sharing in a larger pool by applying their own block template even though they split earnings for hashrate contributed. The win here is that the decentralization of the block template source for a won block ensures that bitcoin’s censorship resistance is maintained, rather than sourcing block template from a low number of large players. Learn more by understanding Ocean’s model and how they use Datum to distributes the responsibility of block template generation to all of the solo miner node runners on their network.

Fog Hashing talks about how AI and Bitcoin Mining are hunting the same power capacity. Comparing the needs, the cons, the flex, and the buildouts needed for each, to understand which and what combination to deploy, makes choosing obvious for power providers and developers.

Meanwhile is a startup in the life insurance space that is ALL IN on bitcoin. Their financial statement is all covered in ₿’s.

So, as miners become Bitcoin treasury companies, Utilities become miners, SoFi bank slides Bitcoin next to your checking account, life insurers build yield stacks around Bitcoin, lenders recognize Bitcoin and property bundles as collateral, you’re watching the coalescence of Bitcoin and traditional assets in all of finance. You’re early, but getting less so. Hurry. Learn. Teach. Build.

From Mining Disrupt TX: as Coinbase reorgs to TX, they are also mixing Hashrate as collateral into a flexible collateral package. Hashrate, Bitcoin, property and equipment, all mixed to collateralize for loans for miners. This is designed to better enable miners that are long hashrate but may not have a large enough bag to collateralize their loan target.

The calm before the storm. Mining Disrupt 2025 and looks like @NICO⚡️ and @Simply Bitcoin will be reporting on scene.

Another airborne GM. Headed to Mining Disrupt in Dallas. Say hey if you’ll be there!

I’ll let you know how my first conv with a local owner that uses Square PoS goes:

Happy 250th Birthday, Marines. Now get back to work. Learn. Teach. Build.

For some reason my 54° wedge was messing with my head. Too many missed contacts, half-assed swings leading to chunking it. Figured better to face it head on. So I one-clubbed a Par-3 course yesterday. Didn’t even take a putter. Tee-boxed it, approached with it, putted with it. We’re on better terms now. #Golf is a brain game. Have to know how to manage your brain and guide your actions. Kind of like in the rest of life.

When the 26ft putt is a tease. #Golf is hard. Fixing dents in grass today.

Living room music is the right music. Seasons life just right.

GM Sky sunrises feel planetary.

I’m home from Louisville. What an amazing time spent with the SIORs. As the top tier of commercial real estate brokers we were talking with them about how bitcoin changes their business over the next decade. Many were receptive, when one-on-one. But, we’re so early, as a group it was like we accidentally showed up to the wrong conference. #SoEarly #SoTimely Hit us up through Buoy21.com if you know a broker that’s a bitcoiner. We’ll work closely with them on the deals on their desk to see what we can help them make happen.
