Absolutely. Many stickers have been great conversation starters at work and at home. I always take two with me when I travel to have the QR code to scan. You are doing the Lord's work, helping folks find the closest thing on earth that "moth and dust don't corrupt, and thieves can't steal." Keep it up, man; we are all behind you and rooting for you.

You are doing awesome work, brother. Just wanted to give you a shout out with support. Your stickers have driven conversation between my family, friends, and co-workers.

This is an awesome quote that is often misattributed to Thucydides but actually from Sir William Francis Butler's, "Charles George Gordon" (1889), p. 85

Almost; mine is from 2010. 1080p LCD as well and still going strong.

Looking great. Glad both you and the baby are thriving.

This is awesome Susie, bravo, 10/10 parenting.

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure; an upright, honest man in a sea of dishonest intellectuals. Here is a video interview discussing his latest book “Social Justice Fallacies”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn2gda_phAA

Awesome shirt, especially for us who need to get into our own thoughts/space to recharge.

Statistically, it should take 10^130 (20^100) random interaction trials before inorganic matter creates a viable protein chain that could spawn life regardless of the chemical reaction conditions. (Source: https://answersingenesis.org/answers/books/in-six-days/john-r-baumgardner-geophysics/)

There is 10^48 (2^160 combinations for Base58 address format) chance of getting a specific bitcoin address. (Source: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8804/is-each-bitcoin-address-unique/12740#12740)

10^130 / 10^48 = 10^82, which conveniently is the estimated number of atoms in the known universe. (Source: https://www.universetoday.com/36302/atoms-in-the-universe/)

My Interpretation: I would have to multiply the incredibly small chances of guessing an individual bitcoin by the number of atoms in the universe to get the probability that life developed from non-living material. So, even though I think most folks agree on NOSTR that it is statistically impossible for your individual bitcoin address to be guessed randomly, it is much, MUCH more statistically unlikely that life developed randomly in the universe.

What implications should I take from this? That life is more likely to have come from intelligent design (either aliens, God, or we are all in some big simulator)? Or, did I just dork up the math and this calculation is wrong? Alternatively, am I just approaching this from a foolish perspective and need to think about this in another way? Perhaps I am referencing non-credible sources? I welcome your guidance/discussion/correction.

“Thank God for Bitcoin” by Derek Waltchack, Gabe Higgins, and Jimmy Song

A great article.  My favorite parts were the history about the Fed being forced do exchange physical gold for gold certificates during the FDR administration during the 1930s and your great quote "The financial system in the United States, and for most of the rest of the world for that matter, can basically be thought of as an Excel spreadsheet managed by the Federal Reserve. That’s all it really is."
