We are excited to be documenting the progress of an old Japanese timber frame that has now been relocated to Western #massachusetts and after a few repairs will become part of our builder’s new shop space in Tyringham, MA. This is a 150 year-old 'kura' or storehouse that was previously part of a silk mill in Shinshiro. The process was managed by the North American branch of Kominka Collective, a not-for-profit company who specialize in saving Japanese kominka, cottages, studios, and traditional materials that would have otherwise been destroyed. It will be fascinating to watch this project develop over the coming months…

Thanks so much to you both! Glass of red here tonight.
I just learn about Revolut last night, it looks and sounds like a good everything finance app for someone who needs an easy way to up their game.
I wonder what these kids…
- are doing today.
- would think of #bitcoin

That video is priceless, thanks for reposting! I’m very familiar with some of that English mentality…

Or put another way, May is my birth month and therefore it is the best month (for me).

May is the best month.

Substack seems to have gone down.
Strike does work here and you don’t need much to get it going either. As little or as much as you wish to throw in there.
Nostr works the same as anywhere and I jump between Nostur and Primal.
In terms of investment tools and exchanges, that’s where it gets a bit harder to advise.
I’m running on sats and Nostr currently and not doing much more than that.
Thank you! Really glad to hear Strike is available in the UK. What about Gemini?
The best hooks from My Bloody Valentine’s ‘Loveless’ album get lodged in your head when you least expect it. I have them on loop internally now for the simple reason that I was briefly thinking about the movie Lost in Translation yesterday. Not a bad problem to have but still, weird!

Look at these beauties. Had to use Venmo. When the day comes that nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 displaces Venmo at farm stands it will be a wonderful thing. I wonder how long that will take… #bitcoin
Kinda sums up a lot right now.

Was trying it to build a website for nostr:npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh but ended up using something else
Carrd is good and great value. Have you ever used it?

I guess because as a company with a lot of debt it feels like there is more risk with $MSTR than a simple dedicated Bitcoin ETF. But it’s an option of course.
If anyone can recommend a #bitcoin ETF with a brief explanation as to why it’s better than the others, lmk. #asknostr
