New baddies at WM HQ.

Slowly but surely, I’m buying machines to build a western shirt factory in Arizona. I scored these this week at a local auction, at a 90% discount. The left one sews on buttons. The right makes button holes.

Now just need to make sure they work 😂🤘🇺🇸

Good to know. They're probably 16-20" tall. How far down from the top do you think I should cut?

Xerics are clearly not my forte lol

I think they're Pachanoi. Thanks so much for all the info! Does keeping it in the sun help with the callousing or will that dry it out too much?

I have a few potted San Pedro's, and would to propagate more

You just cut it and stick it in soil to root?

Great question. If the post was more clear and direct the answer would be “now”. Spend and replace is a good way to think about spending sats. We need Bitcoin companies to thrive right now to give confidence that Bitcoin is a clear medium of exchange preference for them and new bitcoin forward companies.

At what point does it make more sense to spend Bitcoin than to keep stacking? Feels like we’re all waiting for ‘the right time,’ but when is that actually, great read. I’m trying to understand while challenging people to think critically about Bitcoin’s transition from store of value to medium of exchange.

Bitcoiners are the new capital allocators.

We’re living in a brand new world—nothing will ever be the same again. What made sense before was just habit: the consistent, daily reinforcement that Keynesian dollars could get you things. More fiat meant more stuff.

But those assumptions were built on sand.

Now, with perfect money, capital allocation among Bitcoiners follows a different logic. It’s grounded in real economics—Austrian economics—with a focus on hurdle rates, opportunity cost, and long-term value.

Just like Bitcoiners found each other by following reason to its conclusion, their investment choices often arrive at similar endpoints. But there’s a twist: perfect money creates a paradox. When your money appreciates exponentially for doing nothing, it becomes harder to justify spending or investing it at all.

That’s the challenge: if Bitcoiners don’t actively defend the medium of exchange property, they risk losing the very status that made them the capital allocators in the first place.

Before Bitcoin can become the default medium of exchange, it has to reach critical mass. But its strength—unparalleled appreciation—makes spending it feel irrational in the short term. The opportunity cost is too high. That disincentivizes everyday usage, which stalls progress toward mass adoption.

Bitcoiners face a choice: delay spending and preserve gains—or spend with purpose to build the future. That’s why Bitcoin capital allocation has to expand beyond ROI. The hurdle rates vary: some investments are about returns, others about aesthetics, ecosystem growth, or purpose.

Using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange doesn’t make short-term ROI sense. But it’s a long-term, purpose-driven decision. The real return? Staying in control of capital allocation. Cementing Bitcoin’s role as not just a store of value, but a currency in motion. Until that happens, fiat still wins by default—easy to earn, easy to spend.

So let’s show the world what Bitcoiners can do. Back the people, brands, and companies willing to build on Bitcoin. Prove that Bitcoiners don’t just spend—they allocate with conviction. We can mint new brands overnight simply by choosing where we spend.

That’s how we stay the capital allocators.

And right now, there is no higher ROI than securing Bitcoin’s place as the medium of exchange through a thriving circular economy.

People say you can’t use Bitcoin for anything.

Well I started a service that only accepts Bitcoin.

It’s an immersive 90 day experience called Declown University.

What campus life is like at Declown:

On day one we take 40 seconds to use Bitcoin for things.

And then for 89 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 20 seconds we watch Shark Week.

tell me why you joined nostr below and i'll zap you a bitcoin hug

Got to visit my nephew this weekend!

He's finally old enough for some roughhousing around. Being an uncle is getting exponentially more fun.

Looking good
