- It’s not an Apple Watch

- My wife baked the carrot cake, it was ~€3,80

- The blanket comes from action and is actually <€10,-

- The Nintendo switch I agree, but the 11 year old is a master at cooperative strategy games with friends. I have to say games taught me a lot on my over a thousand guilder PC when I was a kid…

I analysed Bitcoin's price against the top 40 fiat currencies:

- 7 have exceeded their all-time high Bitcoin price

- 9 are within 15% of their all-time high Bitcoin price

- The Euro and Pound are 5% closer to their all-time high than the Dollar

Bitcoin has reached an all-time high against seven currencies: the Hryvnia🇺🇦, Lira🇹🇷, Yen🇯🇵, Rupee🇵🇰, Peso🇦🇷, Rupee🇱🇰, and Naira🇳🇬.

What do these countries have in common? They have all experienced significant inflation in recent years, leading to devaluation against the Dollar.

The next cohort includes 11 currencies: Taka🇧🇩, Rand🇿🇦, Krone🇳🇴, Peso🇨🇱, Krona🇸🇪, Dollar🇳🇿, Shekel🇮🇱, Ringgit🇲🇾, and Forint🇭🇺.

It's interesting to note that European countries Norway and Sweden are 10% closer to all-time high compared to the Euro.

The British Pound💷 and the European Euro💶 are both 20.5% away from their all-time high bitcoin prices.

This is 5% closer than the US Dollar💵, which is currently 25.8% away from its all-time high bitcoin price.

It's clear that these differences have been sparked by the turmoil caused by the Dollar in recent years. Nearly every currency has depreciated against the Dollar, which is reflected in these all-time high percentages.

However, there are three outliers...

The Swiss Franc🇨🇭, Brazilian Real🇧🇷, and Mexican Peso🇲🇽 are all currently farther from their bitcoin all-time high prices compared to the US Dollar.

This indicates that these currencies are among the few that have actually appreciated in value against the dollar.

Why isn't there a simple website that converts satoshis to dollars for me easily?

Every year, I spend 1-2 months living in Egypt. This is because my husband is originally from Egypt, his family is much larger than mine, and so while our economic base is in the US, our social base is actually in Egypt. I thus became multinational many years ago.

However, my husband spends 3-4 months each year in Egypt, while I only spend 1-2 months there. So, there are 1-2 months where I’m in the US alone. The reason I choose to do this is to look after the household and business, and because I’m not as productive in Egypt (inconsistent internet, less optimal workstation, way more social pressures, and so forth).

In some ways, we find that spending some time apart strengthens our relationship and lets us focus on our separate things for part of the year. And when we meet after 1-2 months, it’s such a great reunion. We find ourselves wanting to catch up on so much and spend extra time together. But also, even though in some ways I look forward to having time alone and indeed get a lot done during that time, I immediately regret it once I am alone. I find myself constantly looking forward to going to Egypt, as I am now. During these periods, I end up posting more on social media, either constructively or non-constructively, in what tends to be a replacement for diminished in-person contact.

This seems to be amplified by my work situation. When I was an engineer, I worked with colleagues in person each day, but now that I work from home, my colleagues are virtual and I meet them in person only at major events. So, this relatively brief window each year of being in a different place than my husband tends to be oddly monk-like, with me at home alone 24 hours per day, working and living and doing whatever I do. I think one of my future goals will be to increase my deliberate effort at spending time with local friends, especially during this part of the year.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of “real thoughts” uniquely on Nostr, and this is the first one.

Conclusion: Social circles are (obviously) a very important thing, including for workaholics and introverts like myself. Social circles affect us in various ways, and having gone through many cycles, I have become increasingly aware of the changes that take place during these seasonal cycles of being close to others vs far from others.
