Always worth trying! And always more opportunities in the future

Nice. Well done.

Immediately makes me wonder: what will this think look like with millions of daily active users!

An entrepreneurs dream in a way

Love scrolling through the "most zapped" trending

So true...

Asked a woman in a gated playground to put her 2x large dogs on a leash

Got 2 young girls that get scared when dogs taller than them bound over

She scowled at me

March off

I asked "I am sorry have I offended you in some way?"

My wife knows of her on social media (some kind of IG influencer)

She's pregnant

Which for any of us that have seen our wives go through it, we know can be a very stressful, tiring, and frustrating time

I let it go

Was polite

We move on

It's important to see it for what it is

Takes some time

But gosh isn't it healthy on the other side

What I struggle with: the idea of how manipulated I was for so long...

Thanks to pioneers like yourself Will, that saw something special, and took a risk with their time, we can all get to benefit from it

Cool that you have to pinch yourself in a sense...!

Nice to see Bitcoin back over 100k in AUD

When the same happens in USD terms, that's going to be a huge moment

I love the idea of "honing your craft"

Ie being extremely good at something

Why would you invest in a VC fund rather than Bitcoin?

Honestly... It's hard.

You have to pick the team, that are going to pick the winners, that you have to hope can actually do it

The average fund will return a 2x to 3x over 10 years, which is an annual return of circa 25%

Depending on how you calculate it, Bitcoin is more like 50%.

Plus, the vast difference in counter-party risk, liquidity (or lack of), etc, makes it even more difficult

I once read that equity investing on a Bitcoin standard is more like altruistic entrepreneurship

A donation essentially

When you think through these numbers that really hits home

As I've thought about it, I've found it very hard to work through

Bitcoin is just an entirely different beast

Thanks for sharing!

Why don't you move? What's stopping you?

Yeah the next step is "can I work on this right now?"

So I define as actionable, or not

Then list them all up and figure out THE ONE

Fun process

I wonder if I can keep it up!

What am I missing?

In the investment world, I love the phrase "ask a man what he owns, now what he thinks"

It's the best way to truly cut through the noise to find the signal

A like is a nothing burger in comparison to a zap

So when I see on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg"most zapped", I really take notice, as I feel that's far better signal for what's important to pay attention to

Indeed, I envision markets in the future in which we're trading information based on micropayment volumes and trends

Food for thought!

Ps - tried to zap but didn't work for some reason!

We all love:

- coffee

- dry cleaning

- flowers

- meat

- groceries

Ie things that every local high street likely has somewhere along it.

Which got me thinking: what does it look like if you buy a small business, convert it to a Bitcoin standard, and leverage it to stack sats?

Of course the CAGR of Bitcoin is the hurdle rate which almost immediately means it's a bad idea

eg - CAGR predcition of 50% on Bitcoin means 250k of Bitcoin over the next 4 years will become 375k, 562.5k, & 843.75

So your small business investment needs to 3.5x in 4 years to keep up

How can you do that?

Well one of the reasons I like the MSTR play, plus the likes of Semler and Metaplanet, is they're leveraging the public market feature set of debt access etc

So what tools does a small business have at it's disposal? Better access to debt than an individual? Better tax loopholes? Better ability to grow income?

Point being, it's of course a lot less effort to just own Bitcoin, but wondering why a handful of good cashflowing assets couldn't become your satsflow machines...?

There's a lot to be said for standing firm, staying put, and just adopting a Bitcoin standard in any way you can

As it should be!

Imagine having your 4 kids and wife killed by a bomb you never saw coming

Evil exists

Heart goes out to them

All very important tools to make decisions

I actually find Nostr very intuitive, instinctive as you say. Something just saying "jake, spend time there, something cool is unfolding"

Same! Can I ask, what was the most unhealthy habit you've broken?
