trust me it’s not me 🤣

1. buy the stuff you need/use in bulk to save

2. learn to do your own taxes. dont pay anything to an accountant

3. use shipping companies like pirate to save if you have physical products to ship

4. dont pay for software if there is an open source alternative

5. you dont measure product-market-fit by online advertising. test it by trying to sell to your friends, family and neighbors first

6. don’t hire until you’re drowning in work. automate or delegate to tools first

8. barter your skills with others instead of paying cash

9. make a habit of reviewing every subscription monthly. cancel what you don’t absolutely need

10. document everything you do once, so you don’t waste time repeating it later. saving time means sabing money.

Bought a buchh of FLD today. They have a lot of bitcoin on their balance sheet and launching a new bitcoin credit card soon. I do hate that they keep delaying the cc launch and using it to sell memberships. Imo it’s a cheesy marketing but anyway, i think they’ll do well when btc hits $1m, hopefully soon. It’s crazy to me that block still doesn’t have bitcoin credit card. I also own xyz but no excitement whatsoever. Imagine block launching 3% bitcoin-back credit card. No idea what’sstopping nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqfnwaehxw309ah8wcewwpexjmtpdshxuet59ashjan2d3jkjmrd0qcxzmphdge8qut5xg68zetyx9arwcfcwvmu86vm

This piece called 8B21M, will soon become an original oil painting. The dots matter. That’s the point.

good read. i guess the real journey starts with acceptance and surrender. takes time to accept that motion has no meaning and that we're not passengers in time.

solo miners are not in it for profit. imagine 10m bitcoiners running their own 10 th/s miners each. i'd compare solo miners to a small batch côte du rhône wine maker or a gruyère cheese producer in the swiss alps. not chasing scale, just preserving quality and independence.

my neanderthal genes are confused 🤣

proposing larger block space for bitcoin was the greatest threat to bitcoin. we'll forever defend smaller block space.

halvings will continue to slash the block rewards. regardless of bitcoin price, because of low transaction fees, many miners are already struggling. like you said, every business needs to make money. now we have solo miners, and they will increase their hashrates exponentially as bitcoin adoption grows. this is great for bitcoin, but not so great for miners.

Solo miners will disrupt the current centralized mining structure. It might seem like a small effort now, but that will change as Bitcoin adoption grows

Some bitcoiners look at nostr entirely through a commercial lens:10 more youtube subs, 5 more sales, a bit of extra reach to use when selling newsletter ads to sponsors. That’s perfectly fine, and it’s a great use case for both them and nostr. Oh, and let’s not forget the ones whose twitter accounts get hacked, only then they come here to cry.

You'll be surprised. Plus, HNW who can afford layer-1 for larger transactions will continue to use it.

Will commercial mining be a thing in the future? Do commercial bitcoin miners (especially the ones with zero bitcoin on their balance sheets) have any future? I’d short the fuck out of them.

I think it’s working. We can talk about the issues with lightning, but that’s a separate topic.

That’ll change soon!

Agreed! Also, Bitcoin block space is extremely scarce and that’s a great thing for Bitcoin.
