Is Bitcoin trying to tell us something?

What is is Lassie? Is Timmy stuck in the well?

What it's like to be a Bitcoiner in 2025.

#Bitcoin

Taste the rainbow.

Yes, I've been on it for a little bit now. Just had some last night on the homemade pizza. Seems to be going smoothly

⚡ Reply to this note that you’re *IN* for the party to get a zap! ⚡

🟧 🎉 Get into Saturday’s #BlockParty via direct buys of hashrate and/or hooking up your home miner. ⛏️

https://upendo.rigly.io/

🔸 Fully gamified

🔸 Charity angle, if you so choose!

You only need 17 sats to join, but you can buy hashrate as many times as you want. There’s plenty of hashrate to go around and EVERY HASH COUNTS!

There are currently 3 Bitcoin charities signed up, since we love to give back:

🟠 nostr:npub1uhplusmx9yvpz32dw3stjdrrxnhn7ns5jag637jl2yvmhrwayats68srlr

🟠 nostr:npub1f75q50fcdudzzjczjg0u0we2krq4e48f4zc07nuvgaeljrnpkvgsr7gh94

🟠 nostr:npub1rujdpkd8mwezrvpqd2rx2zphfaztqrtsfg6w3vdnljdghs2q8qrqtt9u68

If you choose one of them as your team, then they receive 10% of your reward if/when we hit a block. Wouldn’t that be cool?

I try to put myself in the shoes of the whales, and if I had more Bitcoin than I knew what to do with, would I want to do the same?

I wrestle with this question because in my mind I've always thought of whales as smarter than me when it comes to an understanding of Bitcoin. Do they know something I don't know? Or am I just too small to understand

Is the reason that Bitcoin whales are selling because they know they finally have just as large of buyers on the other end of the trade? (Institutions, nation states etc)

And large scale selling won't drop the price so they feel this is their time to unload?

Tether represents the mechanism by which transition occurs. A TROJAN horse that appears to strengthen dollar demand while actually accelerating Bitcoin monetization.

Every dollar going into Tether seeking stability, contributes to Bitcoin's March toward monetary dominance.

One of the cope tendencies I've seen among bitcoin bears is that they said "the state" wouldn't allow it, would shut it down, as a justification for not being bullish years ago. Then as the network grew massively, and a subset of politicians liked it either because they have anti-big-state views themselves or because money speaks, those bears shift to "well now it lost its way, now it is captured" as a way to continue to be bearish on the idea even as the price soars and the network strengthens. Part of being bullish years ago was understanding this type of game theory.

The perfect beer for my evening read

Told my wife about it but she bought portobello mushrooms. So we will try again next week with white mushrooms

One counterintuitive bad thing about Bitcoin is that it is a far better investment than land.

Real estate prices are inflated by decades of fiat games. Cheap debt. Tax advantages. Mortgages stretched across generations. This early state of bitcoin makes it massively cheaper in comparison.

So yes. If we are talking pure returns, real estate is a shitcoin. Buy Bitcoin.

But here’s where it stops making sense. I see plenty of Bitcoiners who've already won. They've seen massive gains and are financially free in ways that we all dream of. Yet they still live in cities boxed into apartment buildings and subdivisions. They still live inside the system they claim to see through.

Admittedly, I have my own bias here. I grew up on a farm and will never totally feel comfortable living a city life in a way that many people do. But I also fell for the same trap during my 8 years in cities and didn’t appreciate what I had growing up until I came back.

When you’re in the city and think about moving to a small town, you worry about what you will miss. The events. The bars. The endless options. I was afraid of that too and moving home felt like giving something up.

But once I was out, I realized none of it mattered. You stop chasing plans and start actually living.

Many Bitcoiners talk about citadels. About someday buying land. About someday living differently. I get it. Making the leap is expensive. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if my dad hadn’t made it his life’s mission to buy the farm where I was raised. What feels misguided is having that financial option and still choosing to live and raise your kids in their world.

You get eighteen years with them. That’s basically it.

Do you really want those years spent in apartments and crowded parks? Wouldn’t you rather have them outside? On land they can know. In a place they can return to with their kids?

At a certain point, you have to stop looking at your gains as numbers on a screen. You need to turn them into something real. Put down roots. Give your kids a place to know. Buy The Family Land

I love this. That feeling you are chasing is freedom. Buy your family land.

🗓️ The Rigly #BlockParty returns on May 17!

🔖 There are now 3 ways to join the fun:

• Buy hashrate via auction

• Buy hashrate directly

• Point your solo miner at our pool

We’ve got fresh auctions up already for May 17. They seem to be going today for ~10K sats. Not bad!

⭐ Winning auctions gets you a larger share of the reward, should we find a block.

If the auctions aren’t your thing, go smash the direct buy button. Simply choose how much hash you want and pay in sats!

⭐ DO make sure the address you use for direct buy has the receiving capacity for your share should we hit a block. (For example, you can use your Primal wallet address, but nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg has a limit of 1 million sats). If you’re buying a load of hashrate, use an address to a wallet that can support your big, fat block reward.

You don’t need to create an account with Rigly to make a direct buy, but you do in order to play in the auctions. Making a direct buy will take you to the party dashboard once you pay, and you can see your hashrate there, along with your % of the Block Party, and your potential reward if we find a block.

🪄 All the magic starts here: https://upendo.rigly.io/

⛏️ You can also point your solo miner (or fleet of them) at our pool. Go here and scroll down for mining directions: https://upendo.rigly.io/learn/upendo

*Don’t purchase more than you can afford to lose! Solo mining with a group is like playing the lotto. Except instead of supporting the state with your lotto ticket money, you’re supporting Bitcoin with your hashrate money.

I'll point my miner. Might as well

Ok, serious question here.

If there was a "BITCOINER STARTER PACK" that could be purchased from a local bitcoin shop..

What would all be included in this starter pack?

Treehouse is my favorite. There is nobody else better. #Beerstr
