I worked steadily on my computer tasks again today. It looks like I’ll reach about one-third of the goal by tomorrow. As for the plushie prototype, I made a mistake, so I plan to start over from scratch tomorrow. I’ll take my time and keep going at my own pace.

I spent most of today working on my computer again. In between, I took a break by making some progress on the plushie prototype. Both still have a long way to go, but I’ll keep working on them steadily.

Note： For me, what I find appealing about Bitcoin is its use for international payments, small tips (zaps), and energy utilization through mining. I believe this perspective is probably a minority view among Japanese people. On the Japanese timeline of X, I often see people who promote Bitcoin also strongly criticize Japan or the Japanese yen. That might make sense if one sees Bitcoin mainly as a store of value, but... I personally don’t believe that criticizing Japan is a necessary part of conveying the appeal of Bitcoin. Of course, Japan has its share of problems, but so do many other countries. So when I see people stirring excessive fear about Japan, it feels a bit off to me.

I spent most of the day working on my computer today. It might take me until the end of July to finish everything. For the prototype goods, I started by testing the eye embroidery. This time, I'm aiming for eyes that are both cute and cool.

Today, I focused mainly on working at my computer. I’ll start working little by little on the prototype goods from tomorrow. I’m excited to see what kind of plush toy the white fabric for the prototype will turn into.

Today I shipped out the Alex plush toys. I always feel a little sad when I send them off. Take care out there, little ones! Starting tomorrow, I’ll be working on two projects in parallel: One is computer-based work, and the other is prototyping a new handmade item. I’ve already started the computer work little by little this week, and I plan to dive into it more seriously next week.

My handmade plush toy was featured in a YouTube video related to a power company! It hadn’t occurred to me, but combining mining and plush toys might actually be a way for everyday people in Japan to learn about Bitcoin — that was a blind spot for me. It seems that Tokyo Electric Power Company (Japan’s largest utility) and many other energy-related companies also have their own characters. I felt that this really reflects Japan’s strong culture of valuing mascots and characters.

All five Agile Energy X plush toys are finished! That’s the full set completed. They turned out really cute.

Today I made the fourth AEX plush toy. Everything should be finished by tomorrow!

Today I finished making the third AEX plush toy. I’ll keep up the pace and aim to have everything completed by the end of this week.

Today I finished making the second AEX plush toy. Things are going smoothly.
