I reckon phones down is the best strategy this year: AI has already delivered a crack up boom in productivity. It will continue to do so. Don’t bother about trying to stay abreast of all the progress. It’s cognitively impossible. Gains are flowing to you, it’s ok to put the phone down. BTC price will continue to make you squeamish in 2026. The fuckery is monumental. But the Bitcoin network will continue its evolution in the most humbling of fashion. Gains will flow to hodlers, so put the phone away. Go and build your community. This is the year to look away. Focus your time and attention.

The cure for low prices is low prices.

Lightning network strikes again at Site Trampoline, Queenstown, New Zealand

I might have been listening to too much of @HODL recently but I just landed in San Fransisco. Tomorrow I’m going to pitch the Saylor playbook to my boss who’s a $3bn mining CEO. I’ve been too scared to till now. Mineral exploration companies require very risky investment capital. Bitcoin on the balance sheet is the perfect hedge. Wish me luck. 🍀

Awesome work here by Alex View quoted note →

Bitcoin rewards discipline, this is unique among technology. A chance for decentralised prosperity for all. There is no second best.

@less thanks for the latest WBD outro about Nostr and Primal. I was struggling over on Damus. Good conversation with Danny there too btw.

Taking a break from the btc charts and sun maxing, Bay of Islands, New Zealand.

The ranch is laden with sheep, beef and fruit trees. Wifey has been given the all clear after a short but intense cancer battle. Bitcoin is busy storing value for my kids future. Life is good. Stay humble. Stack sats.

Bitcoin repricing on the weekend is poetic

I’ve never sold a sat. I work in the fiat mine to accumulate sats. Staying disciplined is hard. But @jack mallers is right about time and money. Bitcoin is about to cut my time short in the fiat mine. It seems too good to be true.
