I left the house and was not rewarded by having a single degen nearby at the library. #bitchat

My wife asked me if I could find any counterpoints to the positive news I get about Bitcoin. As I listen to a lot of podcasts. I found a podcast shutting on crypto and it was a good listen. They talked about the rise of bitcoin citadels. Since Citadel is a common word in the space. I bit. So today I google them and find a true rabbit hole. The podcast said there would be a rise of exclusive citadels that bitcoiners only can enter. So I came across a site that said in 2025… “Winklevii, tragically, are among the most prominent Bitcoiners to be murdered for their holdings” The article was written on 2021.

The Bizarre Rise of the 'Bitcoin Citadel' - Decrypt

In search of the Bitcoin Citadel, where the 'eternal enslavement of humanity to a tiny elite' is the utopian dream for Bitcoin maxis.

While possibly possible. I don’t see it as an actual negative of bitcoin. Just one persons fantasy of the future.

YTD I have shipped 371 packets of Free Milkweed Seeds. That’s about 1.8 packets per day! The $1,500 cost is taken out of revenue from seed store sales. Since the treasury is saved in Bitcoin. I still plan to lower the product prices in 2026 while growing overall savings. https://www.growmilkweedplants.com/product-page/free-milkweed-seed

Francisco lives in Brazil and enjoys growing milkweed plants. He messages me concerned about starting seeds. Which is funny because he taught me how to germinate milkweed seeds in 2015.

Street seeds are a gift Buy link:

Most “milkweeds” are thought to be in the genus Asclepias. However there are hundreds of non-Asclepias in the Apocynaceae family that are suitable host plants for monarch larvae (caterpillars). Honeyvine (Cynanchum laeve) is really popular with monarchs heading south. About 95% of monarchs hosting on plants in Oklahoma and Texas in September are using Honeyvine. Here I am planting two in my front yard so they can climb up the railing next summer. It might help keep the porch shaded and the root cellar below cooler.

Gonna try to attend this meetup in SLC Wednesday. Hit me up. I’ll be the quiet one holding a beer. https://orangepill.app.link/DhjgcVhqdVb

Toyota doing Toyota things today. Wife’s classroom is moving to a new school!

Last night I stopped to smell the milkweed. It really sparkled in the sunset. Although the seeds are currently out of stock. I expect to collect fresh seeds in a couple months. Notify when available is a feature that will email you when it is back in stock. https://www.growmilkweedplants.com/product-page/asclepias-fascularis-narrowleaf-milkweed-seed

Fee rate would be lower if more customers used the BTC Pay option at checkout. With lower fees I can offer lower prices. By saving in bitcoin your earnings are worth more over time. People will come around to bitcoin, right?

Just need it put back together by seed collecting season in September. Should have it ready for an August trip to the parent’s cabin. #ct110 #honda #trail

Horsetail milkweed are showing all their sexy parts. All Asclepias plants have complex pollination and every flower has both female and male parts but they are called stigmatic chamber and pollinia.

Gn Tomorrow I’ll check out studio dot primal dot net on a computer. @primal

Positive feedback from customers is always welcome. Asclepias californica is hard to grow. This one is looking lush!
