Going through my archives...

How many of these discontinued Bitcoin hardware devices can you recognize?

Mind blowing metric:

The 1 year velocity of the average unit of bitcoin has dropped to levels not seen since 2011. That is, the average satoshi is spent only 6 times per year!

Sometimes when folks call me mean names on social media I wonder:

* What do they expect it to accomplish?

* Do they realize I've literally had guns pointed at me as a result of social media antics?

* Do they have any clue how amusing I find ad hominems to be?

Lots of folks are upset about ordinals because they can't understand how a market exists for them.

Truly I tell you, the same view is held by nocoiners about bitcoin.

Markets don't require your understanding in order to operate.

I've generated a visualization of the 2023 developer activity in the Bitcoin Core repository:

Does anyone want to generate the gource video for Bitcoin Core 2023 development? Bitpaint appears to be inactive...

In 2024 we all get girlfriends.

If you already have a partner, then they get a girlfriend.

Gym was empty this morning.

I guess the New Year's Resolution folks are laggards.

Oh crap, someone published a map of the most likely places to find me.

I like mine. It's just hard to find good optics that can handle the recoil.

If trends continue, 2024 will be another year of record insanity. Prepare accordingly!

Lately we're seeing on nostr:

* 10,000+ daily active trusted pubkeys

* 20,000+ weekly active trusted pubkeys

Let's aim to 10X it in 2024!

You lovely folks have zapped over 5 BTC via over 2,000,000 zaps this year!
