The Bitcoin circular economy isn’t built by convincing more businesses to accept Bitcoin. It’s built by showing great businesses that Bitcoiners are worth building for.

That shift in framing is everything.

For years, the focus has been on adoption. Getting restaurants, retailers, and random shops to take Bitcoin. But that’s a scattershot approach. Most of those businesses don’t understand Bitcoin, and most Bitcoiners don’t really want what they’re selling.

The better question is: how do we prove to high-quality businesses that Bitcoiners are their best customers?

We already have the numbers. Bitcoiners helped move the needle in the 2024 election. We show up for each other. We’re curious, loyal, and values-aligned. When a business makes something durable and thoughtful, and meets us halfway, we notice.

That’s what happened with my wine business.

I don’t try to sell to the wine world anymore. I sell to Bitcoiners. They care. They pay attention. And they’ve become the core of what I do. Today, more than half my sales are in Bitcoin.

So if you're building something real and want to grow, start with us. Accept Bitcoin. Talk to Bitcoiners. Build something worth our sats.

We’ll find you.

"WE WANT TO BUY AS MUCH BTC AS POSSIBLE." 🚀

Well, I guess I’m not counting my first car in my teens which was a cheap Toyota sedan that my parents gave me to drive around.

My first car I actually owned wasn’t a Porsche. It was a Nissan 300zx, a great entry level sports car for young folks like I was at the time. It cost well under $30k, maybe even low 20’s. 0-60 in 5.1 secs, which was considered quick back then. 😂

Things were very different back in 1994. My first job out of college at a commodities firm only paid me $50k/yr but rent on a nice San Diego 1br was only $800, cars were cheap, food was cheap. College debt wasn’t really a thing then, at least for those in my cohort. Any reasonably motivated guy coming out of college could afford a decent place, decent car, and a reasonably attractive girlfriend without having a huge income.

Things are very different now. Even people my age (52) who didn’t take proper precautions to beat inflation can’t afford the same apartments and condos that they *could* afford right out of college back in the 90’s!! As for young guys just graduating…. Man, it’s a different world. Let’s just say I’m glad I was born when I was.

Ya know, I’ve always driven sports cars since I was a teen. Started with a Nissan 300ZX — so I’m afraid I don’t know much about SUVs.

When the dealer gives me a loaner car, it’s typically a Macan or Cayenne, and I guess they seem pretty solid. My girlfriend loves her Landrover Velar and is hoping to get a Defender at some point but beyond that, I just don’t know enough about SUVs to offer an informed opinion.

If you want something huge and fast, Tesla has those Cyber Trucks. They’re massive but I’m told they perform really well.

I really do like the electric experience. It’s fast, it’s quiet, very few moving parts so requires fewer checkups, no smog checks, free charging at dealer and certain public chargers.

Electrics do have certain gimmicky features though. Like the Taycan Turbo S for example, has this checkbox on the menu labeled Electric Sport Sound and if you check it, a speaker blasts a fake car noise as the vehicle’s speed changes — both on the interior and exterior. That kind of stuff is childish and cheapens the experience in my opinion. But at least it’s optional.

Other EV makers (not Porsche) even have a fake gear shift and clutch that do absolutely nothing except, perhaps, alter the fake car noise coming out of the speakers. So yeah, there are a few retarded “features” on certain EVs that make me cringe a bit, but all in all it’s a positive experience.

It’s truly amazing how a single generation (the boomers) were able to bring western civilization to the brink of collapse.

Really hard to watch again in real time.

Get help if this sounds familiar.

You will end up in jail or on the streets.

I’m curious, why did you not opt for the Tesla Plaid? I hear it’s the fastest street legal car available. I just don’t have any driving experience with Teslas but I know they’re super popular.

Great question does everyone who sets out to make change everyone see their impact?

Wow, it’s beautiful! Nice pick.

Got my first 911 in 2000. It was a great entry-level Porsche but not particularly quick. Started buying Turbos and Turbo S starting in 2003. My most recent one was a 2015 Turbo S which I kept until 2021. Absolutely amazing car!

That’s cool that you got a stick shift. I didn’t realize they were still available. I used to drive stick as well and then I remember there was one year where the acceleration on the tiptronic automatics started beating the manual and it seemed like everyone made the switch at the same time. Not many guys your age can drive a stick!

Have you thought about what it means to live in freedom and democracy?

Take a moment. Reflect.

Now consider this: freedom and democracy are not promised—they’re a responsibility. They must be nurtured, defended, and strengthened every single day. They depend on Collective Action.

Value them. Protect them. Take action.

Happy New Year to all of you.

May you be blessed with love, happiness and prosperity.

I drove nothing but 911’s for twenty years then switched to Taycan in 2021. Just got my second one a few months back. Both the 911 and Taycan are excellent cars! Nothing beats the smooth acceleration of an electric though. My only complaint with the Taycan is that it’s a four door. A two door Porsche electric would be the perfect car for me.

Are you enjoying your 911?

Hope you get an answer to this question and that it inspires a discussion. I’ve given it a fair amount of thought over the years.

I personally believe singlesig with a strong paraphrase is the way to go. The simplest solution that provides the security you need is always best.

So then the question becomes: What additional security does the multisig complexity provide to an individual owner?

A lot of multisig users hand over one or more of their signing keys to a centralized third party. So now you’ve just advertised to any interested party that you own Bitcoin. And deep down, you probably have to accept the fact that eventually that centralized pot of signing keys will be compromised, either by an insider, the government, or some external party.

You could give the additional key(s) to a spouse or loved one and hope their greed doesn’t compel them to steal from you. What’re the odds? 50/50? 75/25? Who knows?

You also have to find a secure place to store the additional key(s). So now what? You can’t store them all in the same place. That would defeat the purpose. Each additional hiding place increases the odds that at least one of the keys gets stolen or compromised. Sure, you can try to set up a “3 of 5” multisig solution but that just increases the complexity to ridiculous levels for an individual. Remember, it’s up to you as a forgetful human being to remember where all of your keys are. Much easier done with single than multi.

When I weighed all the pros and cons, I concluded singlesig gives the most bang for your buck. Multisig is great for business funds where each partner needs to sign off, but for an individual? Singlesig all the way.

You can just stop LARPing about saving the world and ship cypherpunk things.
