I did a really shit job explaining to my GF the reasons why Bitcoin can only ever have 21 million coins.

Anyone got a simple, succinct explanation for this?

The goal is to have it easy enough that even she could use it to explain the supply cap to people.

sweet 🧡 congrats!

I’m a dad!

Healthy baby, healthy momma. nostr:nprofile1qqs22v8h7adk97rqwvrcl5xcyvp9pryjw0kggmgeweh0g9qhawpqv3qpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7fy6zhh absolutely crushed it & I’m still in awe of her effort and the whole process.

We had a home birth at our house in the jungle. Grateful for the team we had.

Was quite nervous going into it since I’ve never witnessed childbirth in person and grew up thinking we’d have our children in a hospital. Happy it worked out the way it did.

I’m a new man, changed forever. And stoked for the journey.

I’ll be completely offline later today for at least a week. Pura vida :)

First time in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

One of the first things I noticed - and love - is that they use bamboo for scaffolding here!

What’s a good name for a photography client?

Don’t want anything boring and generic or predictable. Short and sweet is good. Preferably domain available.

Zapping if I go with your recommendation.

GM. I am getting married today ❤

⚡️👀 NEW - Jeff Bezos–backed startup Wildtype recently received FDA clearance to sell its lab-grown salmon after the FDA, which did not require independent third-party testing or animal trials, concluded the product is safe for human consumption based on the company’s safety data.

"Aah, yes. I see that you know your judo well."

That figure is not a useful supply figure

Wish you all the luck in the world man, the next few weeks will likely be a blur but in the best possible way! Sending love to you and the wife keep us updated 🧡

Keep it goin!

Congrats!

Congratulations fellow sat stacker!

Best life changing event ever. Congratulations to you and your second half

this chart went viral

if you are married with kids and save in bitcoin, you are the top 1%

zaps combine the dopamine exploitation of traditional social media with greed, reinforcing attention and reward-seeking behaviour.

Yeah thats too much. I recommend this as an introduction to people. nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle seems to do a great job explaining it for the layman.

Went on to form One Direction with Harry Styles I think.

No, you did not miss the bitcoin train.

We are just getting started.

Just because bitcoin went up a lot does not mean it cannot go up a lot more. On the contrary, the more it goes up, the more it demonstrates product-market fit, the more likely it is to go up.

Bitcoin is different from stocks, bonds, and commodities because it has a much, much larger addressable market. Let's compare:

Apple's total addressable market is 8 billion people who can own an iphone and laptop. A lot of them already do, and a lot of them are too poor, so there's just not much more room for growth. Maybe Apple can increase by 5x, or 10x, but it would need to introduce new products that are wildly popular to do so, which is very difficult. Ultimately, an Apple stock is a claim on cashflow, and it is priced based on expectations of Apple cashflow, and it is not easy to continue to increase cashflow once you're a trillion dollar company.

But bitcoin is money, and its total addressable market is all of the planet's cash balances, which currently include something in the range of $100 Trillion in physical government cash and checking and saving bank accounts, plus ~$120 Trillion in government bonds, ~$22 Trillion in gold, and arguably, a chunk of the world's real estate and stock markets, which people are holding to beat inflation, and not to take risk in search of return. All in all, bitcoin's Total Addressable Market is in the range of $200-300 Trillion, which is about 100 times larger than what it is now. All of these assets are trash compared to bitcoin, and there is no reason for anyone intelligent to hold a significant position in them. Everything held in these assets has lost ~90% of its value against bitcoin in the last 5 years, and will likely keep losing another 90% every few years. The only things maintaining significant demand for these assets at this point are their holders' old age, intelligence deficiency, and susceptibility to government propaganda. They can continue to hold these assets as they decline, making them poorer, or they can shift to bitcoin and start getting richer. Either way, and regardless of what they do, the world's wealth is going to end up in the hard money, and not in the obsolete moneys of the twentieth century.

Bitcoin has no cashflow to price it. Most nocoiners think this makes it a ponzi, but that is only because they have never experienced real money, and only have as a frame of reference the hot potato trash fiat money which everyone smart tries to exchange for hard assets as soon as they can. They are incapable of understanding people demanding to hold money for its own sake, for its ability to hold value, and not for cashflow. This is how gold became the money of the world without generating any cash flow, and this is why bitcoin, which is infinitely better money than gold, is going to continue to monetize and grow.

Nonetheless, bitcoin's demand is highly variable, and with leverage, it will likely continue to be significantly volatile for the foreseeable future, so always keep in mind that it could decline significantly, and manage your position accordingly.

The price did something, now you do something.

Earlier this year, I had several weeks of chronic back pain, right under my shoulder blades, and I could not figure out why it kept coming back. Even after a deep massage, the pain would return. Nothing fully reset the area.

Then I spoke with a friend who is a physiotherapist. She suggested something I had never considered: it might be my breathing. For whatever reason, I had slipped into bad breathing habits. I was no longer fully expanding my lungs, and that meant the muscles under my shoulder blades were not getting stretched with each breath. They were tensing up, locked in place.

I was also beginning to experience a bit of diastasis recti after recovering from a hernia. Once again, the culprit seemed to be my breathing,specifically, the fact that I was not exhaling completely. I was only working with the middle third of my lung capacity, never fully emptying or filling my lungs.

I was also beginning to experience a bit of diastasis recti after recovering from a hernia. Once again, the culprit seemed to be my breathing,specifically, the fact that I was not exhaling completely. I was living in the middle third of my lung capacity, never fully emptying or filling my lungs.

Whenever I sprinted or did intense cardio, the pain would ease, but I assumed it was because of warmed-up muscles. In truth, it was the breathing that helped. Deep, natural, forced breathing.

Since then, I have been consciously retraining myself to breathe deeper and exhale more fully. It takes a little time for the effects to become automatic again, but it works. Posture improves. Pain fades. Energy returns.

Bad breathing sabotages posture, energy, and muscular function. Fixing it changed everything.
