Giving nuggets of life hacks, pearls of wisdom, lessons learned and a few sats here and there.

Many said #bitcoin would reach $100k by this current halving. It did not. So what. Live life.

We should not put our faith in other people’s predictions. By doing this we allow our emotions to be bridled by ā€œexpert opinionsā€ and charts.

This has the opposite effect that Satoshi intended. Satoshi wanted to give us more freedom. Don’t chain yourself to the news, expert opinions, social media or the price of #bitcoin.

Go live life.

Get over the CO2 lie and move on with your life.

The MSM is the mouthpiece for the power hungry politicians.

Without looking it up, tell me as a percentage how much CO2 is in the atmosphere.

You are too valuable to your loved ones to get all worked up over a lie. And if you think AGW is a real danger, then let me rephrase it. There’s nothing you can do about it.

So focus on your circle of control, your circle of influence, your health and your family. Go grow a garden, spend quality time with your family and relax.

I've always heard that we can share our NPUB but never our NSEC. As the NOSTR protocol matures and we see more apps, it seems that they all want my NSEC to give me more than "read-only" permissions. Primal is the perfect example.

Can someone talk a little bit more about this?

#bitcoin down to 62k. Why?

We are doing a complete disservice to ourselves by pricing bitcoin in dollars. We need to be thinking about bitcoin in joules. I don’t care that the dollar is the global unit of account; it’s the completely wrong unit to price bitcoin; full stop.

In 1971, the dollar fully de-pegged from energy. The further we progress through time, the more meaningless price in dollars becomes, as we have de-pegged from reality and truth itself. The dollar is becoming increasingly less and less capable of accurately pricing anything in the future. We only drift further from the truth by doing so.

We need to remove dollars from our conscious if we want to bring this network into a new paradigm.

Bitcoin is the global energy market. Every block is the clearing house; cyberspace.

Hashes/joules <==> bitcoin.

This is a two way function, every block.

It becomes increasingly obvious that we need a decentralized mining pool when you begin to look at this as a market.

The next logical stepping stone in the process is Block Template creation being delegated to the miner who provided the valid nonce. This ensures the preference of the individual is included the pricing mechanism; centralized pools cannot do this.

Centralized pools with decentralized block template is the next phase. Coinbase/fee delegation is the next monster.

What’s even more interesting is that every pool acts as a walled off economy, where any hash that exists outside of the pool is invalid/not valued in the pricing of bitcoin for that block. This is illogical as we all value the same bitcoin, thus the same hash, thus the same joules. It’s actually quite inefficient from a systems standpoint.

The centralized nature of pools is the next big hurdle. We can only develop this market to a specific point due to the security concerns around a centralized coinbase delegation. We can only become so efficient if we are constrained by centralized pools

In my opinion, the vast majority are thinking about bitcoin in the wrong way.

Cooperation; not competition.

We’re going from zero to one; singularity.

Interesting idea, but we still live and a dollar world.

I was homeschooled a few years in the 80s before it was popular. My test scores skyrocketed.

It wasn’t always fun. My mom’s style was her way or no way. Things changed and I went back to public school.

Let me offer advice.

Learning should be fun.

Be flexible.

There’s more than one way to teach a topic. Learn more than one way.

Kid # 2 will confuse you because he or she will be different than Kid #1.

Be flexible.

If a kid struggles with something, he may not be ready for. It’s ok to put it down and come back six months or a year later.

Be flexible.

Enjoy it!!!!!!
