100%!!
Just sent this to our family who runs a winery together. And pitched buying more bitcoin to them.
Thank you nostr:npub1pdm6f4kvr7sezj2yljz7xp2u0yxhnzxe3htzv64s3n0p9jc3lkmsjmmjzk
Get it Woody! đŞ
Interesting take
Yes. Our runway for nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpy4mhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtm0d4hxjh6lwejkuar4wfjhxqgewaehxw309ac8yetdd96k6tnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap039srrz extends as Bitcoin pumps in fiat price. And a large portion of our users pay in Bitcoin, so we have sats coming in too. Small at the moment but growing.
Put this as scale even with a smaller expected Bitcoin "pump" and the world shifts massively
Nice. It sounds like you don't value your future health very much
You'd die then...
Scenario 1: Great. It's beautiful to like your work more than the money it gets you
Scenario 2: 
This post really triggered you eh?
Do whatever the fk you want with your money.
This is talking about the incentive structure that exists for spending Bitcoin. Build whatever world you want. Your money is your vote.
Additionally, Bitcoin IS NOT inevitable. It is impreritive
When your money is worth more into the future, you start to only want to spend it on high quality products.
Why hold anything else if you know it's the Apex asset?
Fiat Entrepreneurship is brutal.
Founders chase growth because they have to.
The clock is always ticking. Burn is always rising.
You are always fundraising, hiring, expanding.
Not because you want to. Because you have no choice.
You sell pieces of your company just to stay alive.
And even if you pull it off, youâre trapped.
Slowing down means dying.
There are only two outcomes. Scale forever or exit.
Bitcoin changes this.
When your money holds value, the rules change too.
You donât need to outrun inflation.
You donât have to scale endlessly.
You finally get to choose.
Grow if you want.
Stay lean if you want.
Run something small and durable if thatâs what fits.
Bitcoin gives builders what fiat never could:
The option to stay small.
The option to stay profitable.
The option to stay free.
Temu fuckin joggers.
The World of Temu joggers is waiting and hoping for Bitcoiners to fail. And the medium of exchange attack vector is the way to do it.
Wouldnât it be great for joggers if we have egg on our face from claiming Bitcoin is pristine money but itâs so pristine that we donât use it ?
âYou canât use it for anything!â
God they love that one. Itâs their favorite gotcha. And theyâre gonna be right.
They donât mean store of value.
They donât understand you are already using it flawlessly as a savings technology.
They mean Temu fucking joggers. They need to see their temu joggers are for sale in Bitcoin.
Until that is happening, the medium of surface area for jogger attack is growing by the minute with each jogger transaction.
As clear as I can possibly be and because it is worth repeating:
This is real. There is a very real threat to the flawless store of value use case and it is the lack of critical mass for the medium of exchange use case.
The joggers are not coming. They are in your houses already. And they are comfortable as fuck.
Temu jogger enthusiasts are 99.9% of the World in this example. And until youâve seen absolutely zero reaction to jogger faces after SHOWING THEM IN PERSON THAT BEST SHIT YOU OWN IS FROM BITCOINERS, then you will dismiss this very real threat.
The assumption I got wrong on medium of exchange was if I just showed people incredible products purchased in Bitcoin then theyâd finally get it.
Terminals accepting stable coins and digital dollars are here. The only thing propping up US Treasuries is Tether. Do you think Temu joggers give a flying fuck about anything else than more Temu joggers? They literally needed their pants to be easier. They were wearing adult pants and then said âya know what!? Iâve had enough buttoning for a lifetime.â
We must create the flywheels for critical mass here ourselves or joggers are gonna jog on our graves.
We must create the flywheels today. Go buy some shit in sats today. Please. Itâs not so scary I promise.
Joggers are gonna be incentivized by stable coins and the US to get more joggers. The businesses that run online or physical terminals in fiat world cannot wait to contribute to shutting up Bitcoiners.
This is how they easily do it.
If you donât get this then when you lose to the Temu jogger crowd please kindly do not complain to the Bitcoin companies doing the most important work here to win. Donât complain to those supporting them in sats about their messaging to spend sats.
Do you understand how crazy it is that you might be the source of the flywheel because you bought some fuckin soap in Bitcoin? And that youâre just not doing it?
Not only can you use it but Bitcoin business are making the most incredibly high quality products.
So letâs not be in situation where we have to explain that we could have proven Temu joggers wrong we just didnât.
Thatâs not only how they win but how we become punchlines forever.
Buy shit in sats from incredible Bitcoin founders or be ok with the risk to store of value.
Be ok with making the Temu joggers look smart.
Are entrepreneurs born or made?
Wrong question.
But let's answer it anyway.
Sequoia Ventures, the best investors in the world, donât ask this.
Doug Leone, their former managing partner, has been clear.
They screen for founders with a chip on their shoulder.
Usually from broken backgrounds.
Those who are obsessed with proving the world wrong.
You donât inherit that.
and it doesn't develop in one day.
It gets forged over time, due to constant pressure.
So sure, they are made.
But even that misses the point.
Founders donât care about this debate.
It doesnât help because you still have to do the work.
The right questions for them are simple:
- Do I have product market fit?
- Can I obsess over this until I get it?
Thatâs it.
These questions matter because they filter fast.
You have to be humble enough to seek brutal feedback and care enough to face it head on.
Thatâs why Sequoia bets on people with chips on their shoulders.
Most canât stomach the truth.
But those with something to prove are always hunting for it.
The pain that built them is louder than bad customer feedback.
They are not scared of hard conversations.
They are scared of not winning.
A massive public win might quiet the noise.
And thatâs why they make it happen.
On Nostr we have 1 simple rule.
You Don't Tokenize Nipples.
You ZAP em. âĄ
Living on a Bitcoin standard feels like real life finally got the difficulty setting right. 
A Date with Lindy
If the Lindy effect was a fruit it would be a Date. Dates are the oldest cultivated fruit in human history. They go back over 6,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia. Archaeologists have even found date seeds in Egyptian tombs, meaning pharaohs were eating them thousands of years ago. I came across this during a period of reading about fasting - specifically how people break fasts during Ramadan with water and dates. That detail stuck with me, and eventually led me to try them for myself.
From there, I was hooked.
And yes, dates are high in natural sugar - mainly fructose and glucose - which makes up around 60â70% of their weight. Thatâs part of why theyâre such a great source of quick energy. But theyâre not the same as processed sugar, and the effect they have on your blood sugar is very different.
Dates typically fall into the low-to-medium glycemic index range (between 35â55, depending on the variety). That means they release sugar into your bloodstream more gradually. The fiber in dates plays a big role - about 6â8 grams per 100 grams - slowing absorption and supporting digestion. Plus, they contain nutrients like potassium and magnesium, which are great for overall metabolic health.
Moderate amounts - say, 2â3 dates - donât cause major blood sugar spikes, even in people with type 2 diabetes. Theyâre not completely neutral, but theyâre definitely better than most refined sweets or high-GI foods. Like anything, it depends on the individual and the context.
Date palms are also dioecious, meaning male and female trees are separate - and only the females bear fruit. To grow dates, farmers manually pollinate the trees, often climbing up and transferring pollen from male to female flowers by hand. Itâs a practice thatâs been around for thousands of years and is still used in many traditional groves today. Our dates are organically farmed in California and Algeria.
A Date Walks into a Bar
Perfecting the bars started with dialing in the right pecan roast - a process that took time. Once that was set, I began experimenting with the ratios between two date varieties, which is part of what makes my bars unique. Trial and error refined the recipe to match what my palate was craving.
The pecan butter (HODL Butter) ended up being the key - something I didnât fully realize until recently. I tried making the bars without it and couldnât. Thereâs something about the texture and granularity of the pecans that ties it all together that canât be quite achieved with any other butter, or without it. Iâm really glad I stumbled on that by chance.

Work, Rewards & Monetary Premiumsđ§ľ
A shovel moves dirt. The reward is gold.
A miner guesses numbers. The reward is a block.
A farmer grows hay. The reward is a bale.
A builder moves machines. The reward is a house.
Simple enough.
Work produces an asset.
But what matters is what kind of asset.
- Gold is elemental.
- Bitcoin is economical.
- Hay is consumable.
- Housing is protective.
Each one solves a real problem:
- Gold conducts.
- Bitcoin...?
- Hay sustains.
- Housing protects.
And when you look closer, you see who is playing status games.
- Gold carries monetary and status premium.
- Housing does too.
- Bitcoin strips the games out. It holds value without playing them.
- Hay just keeps things alive.
The real difference is in how the premium flows.
In the fiat world, monetary premiums leak away into politics, media, prestige.
In the Bitcoin world, the premium loops back into the circular economy.
It stays closer to the people who built it.
Work. Reward. Real value. Circular reinforcement.
That is the bright orange future.
