Ground beef and scrambled eggs for breakfast is undefeated 🤤

There’s a phenomenon I’ve noticed since getting involved professionally with Bitcoin, and I suspect it happens in other industries as well. I have a pet hypothesis is it drives most tech fads.

I like to think of it as the “VC information super highway.” Of course VCs are looking for the latest thing to invest in, and talk to a lot of people. Eventually you find ideas that make the rounds of these VC charged networks.

What I’ve noticed about most of the ideas that come to me this way:

- they’re already being done, and copied

- they’re an indicator of what is in vogue among VCs, and could likely be a fad / bubble

- if you’re acting on this information alone, you’re likely not doing it right

What’s “it”? It’s looking at what you have, what’s out there, and what you can do and charting a path forward that best harnesses your strengths and opportunities.

Said another way, if you’re always doing what’s already out there, you will be by definition, perpetually behind. No idea is born in a vacuum, but if you’re not generating original thought within your own context, you are doing yourself a disservice. What might be working for one person, or company may very well not be what will work for you.

It’s cool to hear what people are doing, but it was a mistake to make 3D TVs, double down on IoT, have a VR play, have an AI play.

It sounds contrarian, but there is a lot of value in sticking to what you know deeply and your own principles. Doing what everyone else is doing is generally a losing or fleeting proposition.

UTXO mgmt update coming ?

Am i misleading people if I buy them Bitkeys? I figure for family and new folks that it's the easiest/safest way to onboard them. However, I would die in shame if they put $20 at a time in UTXOs in the Bitkey wallet and ended up with unspendable satoshis...

Do you know how they plan to manage UTXOs since they don't allow sending from the Bitkey to itself to combine?

Yes. there’s a market for every level of user

LMAO. They should put websites by default and let me user choose what do. Noobs can learn also use non KYC solutions.

And advanced users?

Third option: non-KYC Bitcoin

Some Bitcoiners think is “good” KYC 🤡 nostr:note188dvk0hltcyu8yfvam6e2fg0ndk5rgryx42x434cacuc9dexyehq68yd96

Seems like 95% of folks listen to music while working out.

Anybody else rawdog their routine like a psychopath?

I don't get it either. I occasionally look at Instagram, the comment section there is for the most part, far far worse and consistently worse than nostr.

(Not that I'm saying Instagram is a nazi platform lol).

They start to figure it all out around 9-10 😬

So my son as part of our bedtime conversations, were discussing genetics and such. How he is part of me, and part of his mom and so on. He asked “how” and it’s still difficult for me to admit to him that I banged his mom and that’s how it happened 🤷‍♂️ 😂 #halp
