A repeating theme in history is those that don’t adopt new technologies for moral or protectionist reasons, lose to those that do.

Speculation: Strike will be bought by Strategy to launch Strategy’s Bitcoin banking services direct to pre-existing customers.

It’s never wrong to be kind.

How does Nostr feel about mortgage sizes relative to income? Gotta live somewhere

https://fountain.fm/episode/cjQCPtRpPsl4FX6r8ATe One thing that stood out to me in this episode was (paraphrasing) “there’s only room for a few people to be highly successful in one field, but plenty of room for people to claim affinity to that field on social media”. It’s easier to simply associate yourself with something cool or indicative of success than it is to actually be good at something and let your work talk for itself. In recent months I’ve reduced my posting of rollerblading content down to almost 0 and I’ve focused on my actual job, fixing dental equipment. In this time I’ve been promoted, abused by customers over the phone for problems with their equipment then thanked profusely for fixing it, made more money and worked harder than I’ve ever worked before. In my field of work, there is no social media hype to be seen. The moment you post something bragging of your successes, you will be cut down by a customer with another broken piece of equipment. The success you have to show over those who can’t hang in the industry, is by staying in business. Those who can’t cut it, go under. Your only signal of success is a website to your business that has never been taken down, and a slogan that says “over 15 years in business”. The sales reps of dental equipment change brands every few years as they burn all their contacts, and the great service engineers have resumes with 20+ years with one company and a phone that rings all day. As I approach 12 years with company I work for, with a phone that rings all day, I’m hoping that on I’m way to being considered a great service engineer. Rollerblading is shifting back to being the social hobby it began as, and out of being a second job. Focus, focus. #grind #work

Understood the technical side of bitcoin in 2013, didn’t buy any for another 7 years. /shrug

Alien: Romulus was surprisingly dope. Back to the psychological thriller roots, loved it! #alien #movies #scifi

The more I go down the nostr rabbit hole, the more it feels like the internet of my youth. No feeling of having to be in any one place in particular, just out there rummaging through whatever. Self directed, self hosted.

I guess we go up now 🤷 #numbergoup

Acquiring more bitcoin via hosted miners is really just a tax strategy right? Borrow money to buy the miners, tax deductible. Depreciate the machines, tax deductible. Running costs, operational expense, tax deductible. Stacks sats and hold for long term, no tax. #mining #tax
