Good morning! Grateful to watch my little sister run at her high school cross country meet today. She set a PR with us all there watching, 18:18 for a 5K. fast. #running

The consensus for people I talk to buying houses right now is that it’s tough but “yeah, I’ll just have to refinance when rates come back down.” It reminds me of how certain a lot of people (myself included) were that bitcoin was just going to keep going to $70k-$100k, no chance or thought of a double top in my mind. It’s scary, what happens if rates just don’t come back down next year or the year after or the following? Can the majority afford their payments with these higher rates? I hope so

A little late in this week’s post. As for now, the magical $25k did hold but it feels there is a magnet trending back down towards it. Hashrate continues to grind higher and the Price / Hashrate multiple continues to drop. Certainly is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the macro environment and the general markets are feeling that. I’ll be very curious to see how Bitcoin reacts over the next month or so during what feels like some higher volatility period. Most other metrics including LN capacity and nodes grind, UP! Good to see. #bitcoin #timepreference #mining #lightningnetwork⚡️

I’m pretty bullish on bitcoin here

The strike begins.

Fall is literally the best

“Time Preference”- 11th Edition 1) # Full nodes (reachable) - 16,711 (-0.21%) 2) # LN nodes - 15,163 (-1.26%) 3) LN capacity (BTC) - 4,781 (-0.23%) 4) BTC addresses > 1M sats - 12.38M (+0.41%) 5) BTC addresses > 10M sats - 4.48M (+0.27%) 6) BTC addresses > 100M sats - 1.02M (+0.11%) 7) Hashrate (EH/s) - 383 (-5.90%) 8) Price - $25,836 (+0.12%) 9 Price/Hashrate - 67 (6.39%) 10) Michigan businesses accepting BTC (btcmap.org) - 21 (n/c) * % change figures from prev. Price goes up, price goes down, at the end of the day we’re still in a range. Does the magic $25k hold? Tough to tell with what feels like a hit cpi print coming tomorrow. Who knows, I know I’m stacking some sats right now though. All other metrics pretty flat, surprised to not see more of a drop in Hashrate with price action the way it’s been the past month. After the drop from $29-$30k, we’ve basically just sat on this ledge for a month. #bitcoin #timepreference #mining #lightningnetwork⚡️

GM #nostrthoughts for the week: Anything can be accomplished with three things - Heart, Energy and Faith. Heart is simply the passion and love for what you’re trying to complete. It doesn’t have to be directly related to the task at hand but in one form or another you need to care, even indirectly, about what it is you’re trying to accomplish to succeed. Energy is both the mental and physical strength to accomplish your goal. I think of things like fueling your body, allowing your brain to focus, getting rest, working out and just having a general mental and physical motivation to succeed. Don’t let your body work against you here, it’s a tool for success. Faith is the belief, the confidence, that things will work out the way they should with you trying your best, and there’s only so much you can control. Some have that faith in God (myself), nature, or the general “way of the world”. The key is you can only do what you can control and being comfortable with the outcome brings this all together. Thanks for listening and have a great week, another #timepreference report coming this morning.

Hash rate continues to move higher and price continues to decline. Sure feels like lower prices in the near future as there isn’t much of a bid at all right now.

My #lightningnetwork #routing activity is down significantly the past few months compared to the 18 months prior. Yet I’m still a top 250 routing node on terminal.engineering. What gives? How is routing activity across the board?

Feels like we retrace that whole move up right now, something seems off

Good morning all, have a great day. Golf ⛳️ league tonight, will enjoy these last few weeks before the season really winds down this fall

Anyone still using #muun?
