Should be fine, I’ve left it there about 6 hours before and it was be of the better ones I’ve done. Hard to say if it was the rest of what though.

Awesome! Did you let the brisket rest min 2 hours? Also, letting it rest in tallow helps, especially if you don’t have the full packer or if it’s low on fat.

How’d the family like it?

Money is a tricky topic because it’s not a natural concept.

There’s no “money” in nature. It’s a tool – a technology humans created to make transacting easier.

Throughout history, depending on where you lived, money has taken many forms: stones, seashells, glass beads, salt, metals, and now even Bitcoin. Hell, even drugs and cigarettes in prison are used as money today.

Currency, like dollar bills and coins, is a “second layer” built on top of money to make transactions easier (like the Lightning Network is a Layer 2 on top of Bitcoin). But currency requires trust in the issuer – usually a government.

The problem is, most people don’t think deeply about what money really is. For them, dollars are money, end of story.

But if they stopped to dig deeper, they might realize that new technologies, like Bitcoin, can actually be better forms of money. More secure, more transparent, trust-less, and efficient.

If you think of money as a technology it’s easier to wrap your mind around new possibilities.

Sunday thoughts…

I think Dr Shawn Baker has something similar to that in one of his YouTube videos. Haven’t tried it but I just try it next time I make pork belly.

Also, try carnivore ice cream!

I’m being generous since most don’t even say 1% or even that there’s a spread.

Math works though! 🤣

When an exchange says no fee, “just a 1% spread”, and the spread turns out to be $800.

I definitely understand. It takes a lot of work, the full packer brisket takes me 30-60 minutes to prep, plus another 12-14 hours on the smoker and another 2 hour minimum rest. If they don’t appreciate it, definitely leave it for yourself lol.

Butts are way easier and more people seem to like it.

When did you get on carnivore? I got started October 1st, 2023 and it’s been great. I’ve been slacking a bit the last week or so with the holidays but not too bad. I definitely prefer carnivore and it’s easier for me to stick to.

Oh man, that sounds so good right now. I might do the same this week, been lazy. Last brisket I got was a disappointment, barely had any of the point.

I’m sure it’ll turn out great, enjoy! Share pics of the finished product if you can.

Investing isn’t a team sport.

A good chunk of the Robinhood generation just follow the crowd/trend.

It was obvious with GameStop/AMC and now it’s repeating with Microstrategy $MSTR.

The main guys doing analysis on this are bright people, like Jeff and Ben from the IL group, but blindly following anyone (even Warren Buffett) is a disaster waiting to happen.

If you don’t do your own research, you depend on others to know when to get in or out. Do your own research, your own due diligence, and listen to the smartest people in the space. Make your own decisions, have your own targets, and stop blaming others if it doesn’t go your way.

Even nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, one of the most positive people in the space left the group because of the whining. Man up or just buy the VOO S&P index.

When you associate events in your life by what the price of bitcoin was, you may have gone too far…

PSA: The Jamie Foxx special on Netflix is basically a musical.

Overthinking is a constant battle.

It takes effort to quickly eliminate the noise and focus on the signal.

The more you decisions you make, the easier it gets.

Merry Christmas!

GM!

It’s okay to change your mind.

Give your original decision a chance to work out and if it proves to not be in your best interest.

If you came across new information or realized the changes aren’t what you really wanted, it’s perfectly fine to pivot.

Don’t change “just because” or because it’s hard though.

Anyone know of a way to earn cash (or sats) back by paying a mortgage or utilities, ideally with a credit card?

I’m aware of Fold but they seem to only provide rewards on ACH after using X amount of “qualifying spends”.

Any ideas?

Good morning!

I’ve always enjoyed looking at charts and technical analysis.

I know this is taboo (or male astrology) for many of you, please ignore if you do. I don’t trade for a living, just do it for fun mostly and it’s helped me make better investment decisions.

It looks to me like Bitcoin is likely to hit $70K around late-January/early/February before continuing its upward trend.

Honesty, this seems unlikely with all the positive news and change in regime but I’ve seen crazier things.

What do you all think?
