Brett I. Phillips My initials are bip šŸ¤” I like to play devil’s advocate and take the contrary position.

Reflecting a bit while in traffic on my way to dinner in Mumbai…never have I been somewhere and witnessed so clearly a people who would benefit from Bitcoin. Without having looked at the numbers, I can only speculate that the Indian Rupee is a shitcoin and that there is massive currency debasement happening. This is illustrated meticulously by the stunning towers and new construction high rises, lined by throngs of the poor and homeless. The sight leaves you overwhelmed and a bit uncertain on what to think. What I do know is that I’m lucky; when I arrive home, I’ll hug my family and continue to stack sats.

I was certainly surprised when the KLM flight attendant requested that passengers get consent from other passengers before taking any photo or video while on board.

I opted out of the facial recognition checkpoints at the airport again today. I know it’s a moot point, but civil disobedience, no matter how minor, is our duty.

Just applied to my dream job in Bitcoin, fingers crossed.

I had a sports coach who I specifically remember for all the little life lessons he had. Regarding priorities he would note the following.

1. Health

2. Family

3. Religion

4. Studies

5. Our sports team

1-3 were roughly interchangeable based on your personal situation and beliefs but they always came before 4 & 5.

This has been a lesson I’ve tried to take forward into my adult life and share with the employees who report to me at work.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of and enjoy the ones you love.

Here’s a feature request nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr; remove the like button, zaps only.

Once you go zap, you can never go back.

Absolutely true! From a general SaaS business perspective, Coinbase is one of the worst. Over the years they have continually struggled and outright failed to solve the most basic micro service scaling problems. Their hiring initiatives have always been focused on hiring lower paid engineers to pump out half baked features. While I have nothing against those engineers, their technology platform is trash compared to where it should be after so many years. In hindsight, I’m sure that is all part of the plan.

Home after a long vacation and very much looking forward to catching up on nostr:npub10uthwp4ddc9w5adfuv69m8la4enkwma07fymuetmt93htcww6wgs55xdlq on my drive today. I may even bump the playback to 1.8x and try to squeeze in a nostr:npub1qdcakl75gd7wv0nqmmwrz09ddm5tzl7xj8lq2gclng2qzd8up5yqjpzclt for a nice nap if I have time.

It’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve listened to my favorite podcasts, so I’m sure that will last me all of 3 days.
