Few things better than a neighborhood bakery.

Beautiful day to trade my labor for sats. https://video.nostr.build/44b7491933383078ef6c58cadf7b515f83ae7793d978519a6c5ec20176bdcf3e.mp4

Good morning, friends. Drizzly commute to the office, but we are sitting at 52°.

Have a great Wednesday.

Views from my commute home earlier. I am not sure I will ever be desensitized to Times Square—it is such a vibrant, albeit irritating, place.

Can you spot Mona Lisa sporting the world’s most expensive chain?

Liquid gold.

Incredible experience with lasting productivity benefits.

Your second question is very timely. I think the answer is yes to both. I have anxiety that as price rips I will not be able to buy as much bitcoin. Also, do I trust my setup enough as the value I control grows in fiat?

Looking back, I stacked as well as I could have. I graduated college in December 2021, so I was starting a new job with relatively zero assets to my name.

I bought bitcoin from the top to the bottom while creating an emergency fund of dollars to prevent having to liquidate bitcoin if an emergency arose.

I checked my buys at the bottom in November 2021, and they were small DCAs because I was hesitant we would keep falling lower. I am not certain that hesitancy was wrong, as I may have backed up the truck at $30k instead of stacking at $16k. I am not sure it matters.

I must accept that I will never have enough sats.

I like that approach. My conviction has naturally grown seeing the cycles play out. I will be more aggressive next bear as a result.

First night of 2024 that I did not commute home in darkness.

The days are lengthening. We are going to make it.

Glad I’m not alone. A rising price viscerally pains me when the opposite should be true. Most want a god candle to the upside. I want it to the downside as I can gather cheaper sats.

Class of 2021 here. How do I enjoy a bull market? I’ve conditioned myself to desire drawdowns and max pain as I can obtain more sats per dollar. As I experience my first true bull market after diligently stacking in the bear the past two years, I’m filled with anxiety as I can buy fewer sats per dollar.

Am I overthinking this? Why does a rising bitcoin price give me anxiety when everyone else is celebrating?

Espresso for here. I would’ve loved to pay over Lightning.

Good morning, sir.

Same experience. A few years ago, I onboarded with Muun. Once high fees came, I stopped using the wallet.

This weekend, I spent time learning how Phoenix wallet works and sent some funds over. I have been sending payments between my Primal wallet and Phoenix wallet, and the transactions are smooth. I am excited to explore Lightning more.⚡️

Good night, all. Happy to be here with you.

Excellent find. Thank you for this.

Perfect! Thank you, sir.
