Boarded now, DL1859, JFK-SJU. Last leg of a very long day. #sleepontheplane

I should post here more often. 😁

Good morning from Metro Manila!

I should have a couple of nice little "liquidity events" (in USD) before the end of the year. So please, whatever you do, DO NOT buy #bitcoin until I give the green light! 😁

Anyone know the actual formula for conversion between Uber minutes and actual minutes? It clearly involves a random number generator.

Boarded now, DL1946, ATL-SJU. All ready to go, but the First Officer is driving in from Chattanooga and stuck in Atlanta traffic. 🙄

Guy at my poker table is bigger than me (pushing 400 lb, I'd guess). Says when he was in the Navy, the Filipinos all called him "Mataba."

"That means 'Warrior' in Filipino," he says. 😳 I didn't have the heart to tell him.

Guess they didn't have Google Translate back then. 😁

Good morning, New Orleans!

So long, Miami! Boarded now, DL1404, MIA-ATL. It's not even the butt crack of dawn. What goofballs are booking flights at this ridiculous hour?!

#Bitcoin 2024 Conference 25-27 July in NASHVILLE. See you there!

Coolest thing by far at #BitcoinMiami: Burak is releasing TBDxxx today as Ark. New layer 2 with lots of advantages over Lightning, but interoperable with LN. All #CoinJoined in the middle. Need to study this, but it feels HUGE! See arkpill.me.

Big announcements from Jack Mallers about STRIKE live on stage now. Huge global expansion. #bitcoinmiami

Great discussion with Mark Moss at #BitcoinMiami!

It seems a bunch of the Chainalysis folks are staying in my hotel. I knew something stunk when I walked in the door. #alwayscoinjoin #fightfinancialsurveillance #BitcoinMiami

Boarded now, DL1324, ATL-MIA. Finally! #Bitcoin Conference 2023, here I come!

FINALLY boarded now, DL2670, BWI-ATL, after multiple delays. Missing my original connection, so arriving MIA well after midnight now. 😢

It's the number one mobile payment app in the Philippines. Similar to Venmo, Cash App, etc., except lots of merchants accept it directly, and they are integrated with lots of bill payment services. They did recently integrate Bitcoin.

Why do people use it? Same reasons as all the other payment apps around the world--marketing and network effects. Bitcoin eventually kills off all of these, or at least they all become interoperable over LN.
