I'm mentally prepared for the ETF to be a nothingburger that arrives to non-existent demand.

I'm also prepared for the halving bull run to be anemic or cut off at the knees like the 2020/2021 was with the China mining ban.

Or both.

I don't think either scenario is likely, but if you are floating on cloud nine for what the next year will do to your bags, you may want to step back and take stock of your expectations.

Stack regularly and let the world work itself out.

In liu of a subscription feature, an auto zap split feature could be a decent half-measure.

* Set one or more recipients for the split.

* Set percentage of every zap to be allocated to those recipients

I use Amethyst and Primal, so as an example, set Vitor and Miljan as recipients at 10%

Zap someone 20 sats, 16 goes to the primary recipient, and 2 goes to Vitor and 2 goes to Miljan automatically.

Maybe round to the nearest sat, 1 minimum for each split recipient.

I'm basically tech illiterate though, this might be less feasible to build than a subscription service.

RIP to a legend, but this is a weirdly specific call-out to an old, bad movie.

Happens to me once or twice a week 😂

I'm in my 40s. Old Millennial.

In my opinion, it's because we evolved for one environment, characterized by limited information. But we have moved into a new environment characterized by virtually unlimited information.

We aren't built to handle this environment, and it is showing. I think previous generations' proclivities impacts the next generation but what we are seeing goes beyond that.

Right now from birth to adulthood children are exposed to several orders greater magnitude of data than my peers and I were. Social interactions are no longer limited by physicality and are recorded forever. Your perception of reality is now filtered through a series of screens.

The money being broken is a good part of it, but I don't think it's the whole story.

Former smoker as well. It took 13 attempts to make it stick. I had to swallow my ego and realize I am an addict and must remain vigilant. Started thinking of myself as a nonsmoker. Perspective was a game changer.

Glad you made it through 🫂

That shift in mindset is how I quit smoking. I didn't stop smoking cigarettes, I merely started being a nonsmoker.

I think resolutions can be helpful as a dose of motivation.

I also think most people fail at meaningful change because they start at a resolution, and then fail to build on top of it.

Que burnout and relapse within 6 weeks. Rinse and repeat every year. 'This time will be different.'

It's amazing. It's become my go-to cooking fat for pretty much everything.

It's one of the classics for sure. If you ever have a chance to get one from a good deli, it's worth it.

Pastrami on rye, with some sharp cheddar and pickles, bit of mustard.

This might actually be the one movie I've seen more times than The Matrix.

A lot of amazing movies out of that era.

A good story. You have more reach through your actions than you might presume.

If I post my nsec publicly, anyone can then post as me.

But by that same logic, no one can prove that I am the one who posted a particular note.

Useful for distributing information in jurisdictions that are authoritarian but still have functioning courts?

Maybe not, just thinking out loud.

And Google. And alphabet soup agencies.

Basically if you have a mic on an Internet connected device, you should assume it's always recording.

That was such a good game.

GM and MC 🫂

Because I like interacting with, and learning from smart people who understand Bitcoin and are pro-freedom.

I like being mildly connected to social media, but I hate participating in the outrage factories of FB and Twitter. I also hate giving content (value) to platforms that censor.

I like authenticity, and I find it here. I think Nostr is the future and I'm excited to be a part of it this early.
