I don't know how they did it on that scale
When I figured out what bitcoin was I decided to use my life as a test for if it really was what I thought it was.
I went through the "omg I wanna work in bitcoin" phase which is now just working for kyc entities selling bitcoin and leaking user data basically if not outright rugging people bc 3rd party.
Instead I said if I am truly providing value I should be able to continue my PoW and simply save in bitcoin. If bitcoin was what I thought it was I would disproportionately benefit from fiat holder maxi's in the same profession.
9 years in and I feel bad for fiat maxi's.... almost.
Stay humble, fix stuff other contractors cut corners on, stack sats.

Lots of "we" talk when it comes to lightning vs. "the network"
Rentseeking galore
Still a surreal feeling to watch the purchasing power of your btc vs. dollar go up multiple years of income in 24 hours.
I don't want the dollars its just funny lol
David should know that open systems beat closed systems.
Every dollar that gets allocated to Bitcoin doesn't go to the military industrial complex.
This game always has the chance to end extremely aburptly for the bankers wars that kill innocents and turn otherwise peaceful people into "terrorists".
I agree esp with some of the situations I've found myself in over the years.
And logging is a whole different animal and easily 10x more dangerous than what I do. Love the specialized equipment, used to watch the logging shows on Discovery religiously
If AI and whatever makes it so people can correct soil and do oversizing properly I'm all for it.
I worked next site over last year when this dirt work was being done. All their fancy GPS thays supposed to be good for .05" and they miss by 20' lmao
Most can't tell but this is the quality of dirt work you get when hiring a company that literally files for bankruptcy every year.
It all has to come out and be corrected before I build my wall in top of it.
Change orders are the best, if they don't want it done correctly I leave. Cutting corners is for chuds.
I told my Dad about bitcoin in 2015 and he trusted me enough that he immediately went to his safe, grabbed a couple grand in cash and asked if I could get him some.
He didn't start using a "smartphone" until 2018.
Doesn't ever check the price, he just asks what its at when I'm rambling about some bitcoin excitement I am sharing with him 😂
Epic hodler.
bruh 💀
My point is that it will be over 100% before they figure it out
Kanye was a year too early.
Someone literally just sent me 1 Sat for this
kek
We are living in the future waiting for everyone to show up
The only thing I think Szabo got horribly wrong is micropayments.
If humans do things simply for the enjoyment of it, that means there is no set monetary min/max value in this regard, the constraining factor is what someone values information/goods/services at.
Lightning monetized all things directly, it does not matter if its a single Satoshi because it removes friction of sending value directly in a way other monetary instruments cannot.
When 70% of their paycheck goes to food and 70% of their paycheck is rent they will wake up.
Finished this double terrace wall up yesterday,
Stay humble, sling rocks, stack [p2p] sats
