1 sat/vB txns are finally starting to get confirmed. Time for some UTXO management.

Probably gonna take a few more months to complete but this is what I’ll be primarily focused on in early 2025. Recreating the UTXO sets at every block height, analyzing them to get these metrics and then animating all of that data. Right now I’ve got genesis to block 330k complete and some of the more recent blocks. Hopefully I don’t melt my computer keeping it running 24/7 for this. 🫠

What’s the best way to post longer (1-2 min) HD videos on nostr?

At 500k bitcoin, the largest UTXO ever created was worth more than MicroStrategy's entire stack.

…who regrets buying an iPhone X for nearly a 1/4th of a #bitcoin? 💀

I can’t wait for #Bitcoin to defeat the diminishing returns FUD this epoch.

#bitcoin price on June 12th

#bitcoin price on June 6th

So every #bitcoin zap that's sent and received on Nostr is technically a taxable event in the US, right? Lol.

Over 70% of all #bitcoin has been HODLed for more than 1 year.

I’m probably late to the party here, but I just realized that each Strike user gets an LNURL associated with their account (e.g. wicked@strike.me). I’m not sure why they don’t advertise this more but anyways…bye bye Wallet Of Satoshi. 👋

Here, have some more orange pills.

The fact that every other L1 blockchain is now needing L2s to scale (or has become overly centralized instead) should be the only signal needed for everyone to realize that Bitcoin + L2s was the answer all along and that these shitcoins never actually solved any important problems.

Do You ₿elieve in Miracles?

Ever wonder why there will only ever be 2,099,999,997,690,000 sats and not 2,100,000,000,000,000 sats? It's because of the way the halving is executed, using a bitwise shift, and because there aren't sub-sat denominations on-chain. Looking at how this affects the block rewards, we see there are 11 halvings where the block reward is rounded down to the nearest sat, meaning there are 210,000 * 11 = 2,310,000 sats that will never be mined as a result. 2,100,000,000,000,000 - 2,310,000 ––––––––––––––––––– 2,099,999,997,690,000

People will always hustle to earn bitcoin because it will always get more valuable as our productivity and propensity to save it increases. This will launch human civilization into a renaissance of economic prosperity and financial resilience.

Updated this HODL Wave chart. Probably gonna post an animated version tomorrow morning. GN, ya’ll.

You don’t get zaps by begging for them all of the time. That might work at first but it gets old real fast and then you’re just gonna get muted or blocked. Go do some actual POW instead and the zaps will follow. ⚡️
