Maybe I’m new here (a few years) but I don’t recall seeing the mempool with 133 blocks in queue…wow.

I love this meme. It puts a lot of perspective around the environment today. Maybe kids should of been taught financial literacy instead. 🫠

It would make my night to hear #[0]​ say “these bond yields are just blowin’ out” 😂

Interesting take. I haven’t read anyone suggesting using LN channels as a basis for UTXO. Is this to try and use the channel sizes as a proxy for expected future value of sats? (I.e. someone else is already thinking about appropriate channel sizes) 🙏🏼

Does anyone have good references on a UTXO strategy?

I read many posts about consolidation but if #bitcoin is to achieve what it set out to do (or even 10-20%) would you want smaller UTXOs as they would be worth more (in USD) terms. Or another way to say it is each sat will go further in purchasing power.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday everyone.

The invention of the modern telephone - and who exactly got the credit - came down to the wire in early 1876. The lawyers for Alexander Graham Bell and another inventor by the name of Elisha Gray both filed patents on the morning of February 14, 1876. According to research years later, Bell was the fifth entry of the day, and Gray the 39th, thus Bell was awarded the patent

In any case, on March 7, 1876, the US Patent Office issued Bell with the telephone patent and the rest is history

Over the past year or so I’ve been a dad, a husband, a brother, a son, an employee, and also (insert sarcasm) picked up the job of being an amateur investment analyst to try and maintain our savings.

Happy Friday everyone 🙏🏼

On this day 3 years ago my beautiful daughter was born.

Celebrate your family & friends.

I can only imagine how many actions need to complete before it’s off the ground but I do believe they will get there.

When he made the announcement at the BTC conference in 2022 I was stoked but recently heard him talk about how it was, well, complicated.

I’m with you though. Once it’s at go live I’m going to be striking everywhere I can and get others to follow 🙏🏼

💯 these are the stories I share with people and show them how easy it is (especially on a Saturday night when financial institutions are closed 😂)

But…

Here is where I start to struggle. The “everyday” person wants to be able to spend what they have on everyday items.

Without being about to use lightning in corner stores I think it’s hard to keep the engagement.

Open for thoughts and comments.

Good morning and Happy Thursday 🙏🏼

On this day in 1791 Long-distance communication speeds up with the unveiling of a semaphore machine in Paris (optical telegraph)

And now we can communicate in value across the world in seconds via #bitcoin 🤯

So cool. He saw it this morning 🙏🏼. It’s stories like this I tell people to engage them in how incredible transferring value over the internet is via the BTC rails.

I love that you have them create an invoice, I’m making it to easy 🫠. After a chore is completed I go scan my fridge.

Listing my house this month…I cant wait to see the interest (pun intended) in this environment 🙄

Thanks for the response.

My son is 6 and I just downloaded WOS on his cheap Amazon tablet.

I have the QR codes for him, me, and my wife on the fridge to transfer funds between us.

He is pretty good at transferring and seems to love seeing his sat balance go up more than paying him physical.

I wonder if there is anything else I should be thinking about. Maybe too young for self custody 😂.

Who else pays their kid(s) sats for chores?
