Interesting development for the bitcoin DCAers...those who started DCAing right before or anytime after the most recent leg up (in early October 2024) is now in the red. Everyone else who started DCAing earlier than that is still in the green.

Just learned that CoinMarketCap has historical snapshots all the way back to April 28, 2013...I might just have to build a crawler to go through every historical snapshot and then make an animation showing Bitcoin dominance versus the top 10 shitcoins (excluding stables).

The Bitcoin yearly candle chart is the best chart. What's the second best chart? There is no second best.

"Bitcoin can't work as money because it's inelastic and people won't spend it" Meanwhile plebs on nostr are regularly zapping each other sub-penny amounts of sats just for posting retarded memes.

$50 Weekly DCA: NASDAQ vs Bitcoin

I've made more non-custodial Lightning payments in the past month than I've made on chain bitcoin payments in the past 4 years...but sure...Lightning's a failed payments network and doesn't help scale Bitcoin.

Nation state adoption of Bitcoin will bring about a whole new level of cope from the Bitcoin deniers and nocoiners...even though we've been trying to tell them that this was coming since the beginning. It's crazy to watch it all unfold in real time though.

Here we go again…🫠

Quick reminder that at this point post-halving during the early innings of the 2016 bull run, bitcoin had still failed to break cleanly above its 2013 all time high...and then a few weeks later, we were off to the races!

Class of 2013 remembers their last bitcoin purchases below $100. Class of 2016 remembers their last bitcoin purchases below $1,000. Class of 2020 remembers their last bitcoin purchases below $10,000. Class of 2025 will remember their last bitcoin purchases below $100,000.

ChatGPT’s surprisingly good at color theory. If you give it a list of a few hex codes and ask what the next best color would be to add to that list, it’ll give back one that hasn’t been used yet and that matches the aesthetic of the other colors.

My accountant just told me I need the cost basis of every zap I've ever received "as a gift" so if ya'll wouldn't mind passing along that info, that'd be great. Lol...jk. The IRS is cooked.

Can a bitcoin friendly CPA (assuming there are any on Nostr) riddle me this...? And please assume I'm a cucked normie who wants to pay taxes. If I send a single 1 sat zap on Nostr, what are the tax implications of that single zap? Even if we assume a cost basis of $0, the gain would be far less than a $1 so do we even have to technically report it? Or do we report it with a gain rounded down to $0? Now let's assume I've sent 10000 zaps, 1 sat each...what are the tax implications of those? Does each one individually round down to a $0 gain like in the original example, or are we supposed to take the sub-penny gains in aggregate and then round to the nearest dollar?

Where's bitcoin headed this epoch? 🔴🟠🟡🟢

What's the largest zap ever sent over Nostr? Someone's gotta be keeping track of that, right? Would be cool to get the complete historical data set for all zaps and make some animations with it.

How does it make you feel knowing that over half of the current bitcoin UTXOs are worth 1,000 sats or less?

Chugging through the 2015 spam attacks now. Would be interesting to see how many of those smaller 1k - 10k sat UTXOs remain unspent to this day.

Just posted this one over on X and YouTube. It's a bit long for Nostr but I might clip the last year and at least post that part here later today. X (1080p with music):

What's the story behind the 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr Bitcoin address? It controls the most "whole coins" (UTXOs worth exactly 100,000,000 sats) of any address. 1,283 whole coins to be exact.
