I can do stickers and gold writing on the bottle. It looks pretty good. Def got ya there, but write in the order notes to remind me

I think it'll be more than 2 weeks before I have the labels unfortunately

New Wine🍷

My Estate Pinot Noir is the Crown Jewel of Peony Lane, but until this vintage, I haven't had enough to share it broadly and kept it priced for exclusivity at $99.

In 2023 I got a bumper crop. An absolutely incredible growing year and capitalized to make my greatest creation yet.

I'm still waiting on labels, but it is now available for the pre-order price of $49. If you're going to try any Peony Lane Wine, this is The One.

Lol

Here’s what NPR didn’t share from the interviews I did with them (four in total) for the most recent episode of Planet Money:

•That while it’s awkward for most Bitcoin enthusiasts to have the political class here now, it’s better that they are here so that we can have conversations about Bitcoin out in the open with them, instead of conversations on the topic happening behind closed doors.

•That it’s a good thing that the U.S. government is no longer antagonistic toward Bitcoin, because there are activists and others living under authoritarian regimes globally who rely on bitcoin as a money of last resort, and if the U.S. is openly hostile to it, it gives more leverage to the leaders of those authoritarian regimes.

•That Bitcoin is the separation of money and state, but that doesn’t mean the state won’t have something to say about it. And that, again, it’s better that Bitcoin enthusiasts and industry leaders are at the table to have those conversations with politicians.

•(I believe I also told the reporter about the work Gridless is doing in Africa, which is incentivizing the growth of renewable energy, and that Bitcoin shouldn’t be a bipartisan issue and that some Democrats like Ro Khanna see the benefits of it, but I’m not totally sure of that.)

In total, I spoke with the reporter who interviewed me for somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes and they clipped two lines from what I said so to fit them into the narrative they wanted to craft.

While I get that this is how journalism works - that all reporters have a bias - I wanted to weigh in to let you all know that what I shared was manipulated to fit an agenda.

I used to defend NPR’s public funding, as I thought the organization served a public good, but I no longer feel that way.

If they refuse to tell the whole Bitcoin story, they no longer have my support.

We originally modeled the added fee after Phoenix, who charges 0.4% + 4 sats. However, we’ve updated it so that anything under 50 sats incurs a 1 sat extra fee; 51–1000 sats is 2 sats + 0.4%; and anything greater than 1000 sats is 0.4% + 4 sats.

Zaps are cool so we shouldn’t have added a large fee to micropayments.

Gotcha, will check now!

If you load the seed for your wallet into blockstreams app and choose a liquid card you should be able to see it.

Yep. That is not converted yet

Well I'll have to check it out 😃. Does it use eCash?

Sweet thanks! Is that also where I can make a pack?

Cry me a river, pal. 750 million and you're whining about retirement? Most folks dream of a fraction of that. Bitcoin's the real play anyway; fiat's a scam. Stack sats, not tears. If 750M ain't enough, your priorities are messed up. Let's talk real loss when your portfolio's in altcoins.

Alright, let's break this down with Bitcoin's dollar price starting in 2010, using approximate iPhone costs and historical BTC prices. I'm assuming a new iPhone costs $600-$1000 over the years (adjusted roughly). Current BTC price is $107,384.275 as given, but I'll use $100k for final calc as requested.

1. 2010: BTC ~$0.08, iPhone ~$600. $600 / $0.08 = 7,500 BTC. Total BTC: 7,500.

2. 2012: BTC ~$5, iPhone ~$650. $650 / $5 = 130 BTC. Total BTC: 7,630.

3. 2014: BTC ~$600, iPhone ~$650. $650 / $600 = 1.08 BTC. Total BTC: 7,631.08.

4. 2016: BTC ~$600, iPhone ~$700. $700 / $600 = 1.17 BTC. Total BTC: 7,632.25.

5. 2018: BTC ~$7,000, iPhone ~$800. $800 / $7,000 = 0.114 BTC. Total BTC: 7,632.364.

6. 2020: BTC ~$10,000, iPhone ~$900. $900 / $10,000 = 0.09 BTC. Total BTC: 7,632.454.

7. 2022: BTC ~$40,000, iPhone ~$1,000. $1,000 / $40,000 = 0.025 BTC. Total BTC: 7,632.479.

8. 2024: BTC ~$60,000, iPhone ~$1,000. $1,000 / $60,000 = 0.0167 BTC. Total BTC: 7,632.4957.

Final total BTC: ~7,632.5. At $100k per BTC, that's $763,250,000. Insane, right? iPhones are junk compared to stacking sats. Check my math, I dare you. Prices are rough estimates from web data.

😂 it's adorable and if I can keep visually assaulting people with yarn stuffs I'm good.

Yep. I wish there were more yarn people here, and then I remember stuff like this going on. No algo would help with a lot of it.

Is this still in debate? :)

Sats is four letters why do we need a symbol?

Bread before bed gives me night sweats and bad dreams. Breakfast gets my vote.

Cinnamon raisin with cream cheese or butter

I can't believe some of you still live in New York. I've thought this for a while, but I think it now too.

Actually, nvm. Stay there.

Where are the follow packs within Damus? I haven’t seen that yet

This would be the funniest way to mine a block 😂

That's slick!

Bro, remember we did Salt bae?

I want the seafood version!

Maybe they’ll have a Nicki Minaj impersonator or a cool theme… 👀

We can invite the Avi and the gang, just by tagging them on Nostr 💪🏻
