Bitcoin. Previous builder of Unchained Capital and Stack Overflow. Now building Zaprite.

Thanks Tony, and you know where to find me for the deep dive.

We’ve reached the midway point in the Invariants of Building Software series. Invariant 3: Don’t Build Without a Plan. We’re talking writing code, because we have a plan. Let’s “wire in” (which is a real thing) like the dorks at Facebook and Build.

Since opening their owned and operated processing plant in Lulling, K&C in Austin is on a roll. Everything rules. 3.5 lbs of denver and chuck eye. Oh, they take bitcoin too. https://kandccattle.com/collections/all

It’s like driving with thousands of 15 year olds. Astounding.

Prepare yourselves for Texans freaking out over sub 32 degree weather.

Paper bitcoin for thee, but not for me.

After 12 years learning about bitcoin, I’m thankful for the incoming effort posts from 5th year Wall Street associates. So much to learn.

My good friend and Nostr enthusiast, Parker Lewis, is going to be at Bitcoin Park in Nashville July 17-19. nostr:npub1atn7mlwt08erz4ap47gef92xfey65a4z9ed9vec53u5kc9v94pusl6h4x3 and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx have arranged a book signing for the 17th. If you’re attending the mining summit (it’s going to rule), order a first edition copy of Gradually, Then Suddenly by Wednesday so we can get your copy to Nashville in time. https://pay.zaprite.com/pl_i3cY2KufYH

January, not July. Like next week. I’ll email the CEO of Nostr about an edit button

Where’s the edit button? What the fuck Nostr.

Not sure. Seems credible that a lot of the Renaissance era manuscripts found that are the basis of everything we know outside of architecture were forgeries. There was a big market for Roman stuff, so a lot was faked. Many have subsequently been found out, including some of Gibbons sources. But there’s forgery questions even around things like Tacitus.

I’ve thought like this for a long time, but I’m not so sure anymore. For instance, I’ve told my dad I expect nothing from him. I’d prefer he ball out with my mom in their 70’s and 80’s (they’re long time hodlers) I wonder if my kids will feel the same.

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbons. 2nd time through recently. Read it when I found out the founding fathers were obsessed with it while fighting the revolution. Even if Roman history is mostly fake, it’s sensational.

Letters from Cortez. Correspondence from Cortez back to Spain during his expeditions in Mexico. Including a fun bit on Charles the 5th not understanding inflation when the gold market is flooded in Europe.

My favorite two old books from last year.

We may run in different crowds. I see a lot of credible planning for the future in Austin and Nashville in particular. Not a lot of sideline sitting.
