There’s one thing this little guy is not afraid of and that’s the one thing all dogs are afraid of. Happy New Year! 🎊

My BitAxe came back under warranty! ⛏️ My original BitAxe broke down and despite all the efforts on @JesterHodl's part and his ongoing communication with the manufacturer, the issue could not be resolved. (I felt bad that I had made my problem Jester’s problem.) Fortunately, in the end, they agreed to take the device back and sent me a new one. The picture you see shows the first hash rates my miner is producing. Now I feel cool again! 😎

Learning how to code builds character and brings joy. I don't care if vibe-coding becomes so efficient and accurate that we don't have to code ourselves. GM

Using the Linux terminal builds character. GM!

Polish Bitcoiners are sending copies of @Saifedean Ammous's The Bitcoin Standard to their MPs on Jan 3. I sat down with @JesterHodl to discuss the campaign, its goals, and what’s next. 🎥 Watch the FULL interview here:

Not sure why I’d been putting off watching 12 Angry Men (1957) for so long. I watched it for the first time tonight and it’s a film worth revisiting at least once a year. Sidney Lumet is a true master of cinema!

Polish Bitcoiners launched a campaign to send @Saifedean Ammous's The Bitcoin Standard to Polish MPs. 🇵🇱 @JesterHodl explains the motivation and why it matters.

I sat down with @JesterHodl to talk about their campaign to send copies of @Saifedean Ammous's The Bitcoin Standard to Polish MPs. The funding is complete and the books will be sent on January 3rd. Episode drops tomorrow. Stay tuned!

ChatGPT used to answer me with “Great question!”, “I see why you think that way,” and “This is a common confusion” until I personalized it and set its tone on professional and precise. 😂

Merry Christmas 🎄🐶

Elf (2003) is a Christmas movie in the real sense of the word. It’s not Die Hard, it’s not Home Alone, or any other film you watch around Christmas in your country. It’s literally about Christmas. It’s funny, and the story is easy to follow. With the exception of some mild profanities (I really don’t know how big a deal “up yours!” is—oh, sorry, spoiler alert), you can watch it with kids. You can also play it in the background while you’re preparing food for guests. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a pleasant movie for a cold, (hopefully snowy) Christmas day. Score: 6/10 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Rewatch worthy: Yes ✅, though most of my rewatch-worthy films are over 7 stars. #film #cinema #filmstr #filmreview #movies #christmasmovie

It’s the reps. There’s no shortcuts. No magic ingredient. No secret. Only the reps.
