Financial planning for psychos: try out every Bitcoin trading service ever built for over a decade. If they have it, try out their DCA tool. Forget you set it up for years at a time. Never check your finances. Ever. Just be confused why you have less money than expected. Every three years or so remember and panic about having too much bitcoin on these services and sweep to cold storage. Any liquidity event in your life, ape 100% into Bitcoin without considering your kids future. Forget everything again. Repeat forever. Only responsible behavior: meticulously setting up cold storage, multisig etc… ^ A true Bitcoin story.

We just launched teams for Zaprite, allowing colleagues to collaborate on their bitcoin (and fiat) payments, reporting etc… This is the third time I’ve built teams functionality for a web app (Stack Overflow and Unchained prior), and by far the earliest in a product’s lifecycle. It’s a testament to John and Tom’s forward looking architectural decisions making a feature that is usually a slog a breeze. I love this team.

The Swiss central bank prints francs and buys US equities, essentially for free. Which country buys bitcoin next doesn’t really matter. Which of 5 central banks with an in demand currency follows the Swiss model by debasing in secret, and obtaining bitcoin does matter. Only one will get away with it, and the price of bitcoin is inconsequential to this ultimate speculative attack. Knowing this is the most likely end game is why I’ve never sold any bitcoin. https://mises.org/power-market/swiss-national-banks-us-stocks-150-billion-and-counting

We’re filling out for the Bitcoin Takeover during SXSW at the Bitcoin Commons on n Austin, Tx. I don’t want any nostriches to miss out because of procrastination. The lineup is stacked and the food will be great as always. 3 weeks away!

On this day - February 23rd 1836 - a group of Texian (and Tennessee) heroes settled in for what would become the siege of the Alamo. Demanding surrender, William B. Travis responded to Santa Anna with a cannon shot. Their demonstration of courage that ended March 6th has become core to the identity of every Texan that followed. It doesn’t surprise me that bitcoin is beloved here.

AI lobotomist is possibly a sadder job than Only Fans girl. Saddest is still XRP public/nveator relations.

Ditch the SXSW shitcoining and join us at the Bitcoin Commons for the Bitcoin Takeover during SX. As always, a great lineup followed by a live RHR.

I’ve created a lot of spitecoiners over the years. From what I can tell, BlackRock didn’t get a sat off of any of them. Underrated bitcoiners.

Unpasteurized salted butter is more important than bitcoin.

I like paying for the software I use. Very happy to be paying for Damus. I hope a lot of you will.

Texas is far larger than Washington DC. Look how puny it looks in comparison. DC doesn’t stand a chance.

Texas flexing their sovereign muscles. Bitcoin maximalists should also be 10th amendment maximalists. This type of fortitude will matter for the Bitcoin economy in the United States. View quoted note →

We’ve reached the midway point in the Invariants of Building Software series. Invariant 3: Don’t Build Without a Plan. We’re talking writing code, because we have a plan. Let’s “wire in” (which is a real thing) like the dorks at Facebook and Build.

Since opening their owned and operated processing plant in Lulling, K&C in Austin is on a roll. Everything rules. 3.5 lbs of denver and chuck eye. Oh, they take bitcoin too. https://kandccattle.com/collections/all

Prepare yourselves for Texans freaking out over sub 32 degree weather.

Paper bitcoin for thee, but not for me.

Most people I know working in AI are the most pessimistic people in my social circles. Most people I know working on bitcoin are the most optimistic people in my social circles. Lines up pretty well with Peter Thiel’s communist vs libertarian framing of AI and bitcoin years ago.
