Never assume ppl understand a thing that you find obvious.

The majority of our 8bl ppl probably never heard of Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, Zaps, or anything remotely conceptually related.

Let's show them the very basics, in a simple way :)

One of the most important things I did throughout the first decade and a half of my career was say "yes" to almost everything. I always erred on the side of leaning in, doing more, expanding the number of things I'm doing, etc. It created a stressful flood of over-work, but it also expanded my connections and capabilities dramatically and was worth it.

But it's also important to know when things are filled up. When too much expansion turns into lack of focus. When quantity gets in the way of quality. Eventually the number of requests became too much, so I started having to say "no" more. My default was always yes, so it took time to learn how to say no.

Going forward, I plan to get better at saying no, and to rein in my focus toward a smaller set of things. I'll still be doing quite a lot, but sometimes the stillness between actions is just as important as the actions themselves. It makes those actions more deliberate and impactful when they occur. Quality over quantity. Focus over expansion.

I like to stack bitcoin, and to a lesser extent stack stocks and gold and real estate.

However, I am careful about dollars due to their centralization and tendency to lose value. The tokenomics for dollars just aren’t attractive. To the extent that I am long dollars for various liquidity needs, I am also short dollars to a similar amount through mortgages and so forth, so that I have zero net exposure to such a risky asset.

📊 My most used #bitcoin #lightning⚡️ channels have routed appr. 10-30x of their capacity both ways in a year. On the low end: 2-3x. The traffic is made up of a huge number of mostly micro: up to 1K sat ($0.2), and lots of small: up to 1M sat ($200) transactions. 🙌
