Is your life better than this? #NYC

Current BTC price: ~$81,500–$82,000 about what it costs to mint a bitcoin. Right now you’re buying at the same price. The miners are paying for one bitcoin.

Industry all-in / average production cost estimates sit right around $78k–$85k (JPMorgan ~$85k, MacroMicro ~$78k, public miner cash costs often $60k–$75k). Efficient modern ASICs on cheap power are lower still on electricity alone.

We’re basically at par. The pure mining cost baseline and the market price are nearly overlapping right now; not a deep discount, not a big premium.

At this range, dollar-cost averaging remains a straightforward way to keep accumulating without trying to time the exact bottom relative to production costs, and without feeling like you’re overpaying.

What I listen to while walking the Charlotte airport.

How to murmur...

Lovely afternoon in the sunshine.

US lunar eclipse rn.

People fail. People flail. Often looks similar.

Community Network Deep roots lead to tall branches.

Perfect noise machine for the night stand.

Bitcoin Red Team needs to point the frontier units at the Bitcoin aspects that overlap with Psychology, Money, Philosophy, and History to see what understanding can be gained that will help guide feature decisions. It’s not just software.

Educate yourself and you can join the Bitcoin Guidance conversation. To help steer Bitcoin you need to understand:

• Psychology
• Philosophy
• History
• Money Bitcoin is less about the code than these things. Bring wisdom, low time preference, and effective communications to the conversation to help people understand what’s at stake and what path preserves our desired outcomes.

Played one of my better rounds without fanfare today. Yet to break 80. Within reach. #golf is hard.

over there GM’ing on X.

Mobile games today. Acknowledging that software is a commodity, and human relationships and developer taste are the value now. (The other value is data, but set that aside for now, because we’re trumping that with privacy and personal autonomy for this conversation.) To download and play Chess, Risk, Roulette, BlackJack, Poker, and so many other simple games today they still demand internet connected for tracking and ads, their core mission is to sell things stuff, and they want your signup, often demanding it. Just not necessary any longer in the world of Nostr, lightning and easily built quality games by devs and creatives that are doing it for the love of it. I had the frustration when I just wanted to play roulette on a plane, and have a game of risk on my own against the computer. Had the idea for the solution when I typo’d ‘programming’ into ‘brogramming’ and wondered what that could be. In my work I’m building a co-op to change an industry, because solutions built around software can now be de-corporatized and ownership decentralized. So here’s the thought: One Apple Store and Google Play store under a Co-op Dev Account (even better if a good candidate already exists). Then the apps get pushed out through there with stipulations around anonymity, in-app payments, connected web and tracking rules etc where the target is anonymity allowed, tracking disallowed, ads disallowed, connectivity requirement disallowed, etc. you get the idea. A place where software can be secure, open, decentralized, anonymous, local-first, and where achievable—high quality, all while front side purchase routes to dev through the co-operative and/or developer-tips route to dev directly via nostr by zaps.

Thoughts?

Let’s say the 4 year cycle persists, because humans will human. If I live until 80, I have 7 bull markets left. Low time preference thoughts on mortality lead to long term planning and short term stacking.

is working with Motorola for compatibility and that’s a beautiful thing. Made you guys a top secret joint-project logo.

And look at Elon go. Fun mail-day.

A nice arrival to my box today. So quality. Takes me back to when people bought precious things based on the value of the work absorbed into them.

...Well done, guys.

In the Midwest, where tornados show up unannounced at times, you have certain days at certain times where the tornado sirens are tested and all the locals know to ignore it. Damn the tornado that shows up in that time slot.

Really, US? You're okay with this? What's the value exchange that's causing this propagation?

has been helpful and fun to see out in the world. Thanks for supporting Leon and trusting his bot to deliver for you. Leon running the project is also kind of fun. I've had to step in very rarely. If you want to test it out on your own writings, just ping the project in a reply to a post you'd like transcribed. (I wonder if he'll offer to transcribe this one since I pinged him in it. 🧐) His numbers look funny, but here's an ad from Leon for nostr:nprofile1q9z8wumn8ghj7dtt0p6rv6n2ve5k56f5vdsk5dnfvdergcfkxdc82vnxdf38vuphv5mrvupk0fjxwcmxvf48j6myxf3xg6rpx5ehjepwdahxjmmwqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsqgy9gzh8aadrz02apesvmfgfy2ydeyy0hxfph5cnj3g2ghceqx3tngsej9z7...

Saw Daniel live in Chicago in about 2000, where he played Mozart’s Piano Sonata C Major Andante. Still a moving piece for me.

Typo of the day: Brogramming Brogramming - noun - The collaboration of AI assisted programmers to make free and open versions of all desired simple games and fun apps to list for free on the App Store of iOS and Android so we can stop paying subscriptions to be monitored and tracked and sold to in our downtime.

Yes, please.

Nothingburger? No. Not a nothingburger. Just the wrong solution to the problem still worth solving. Let's say the hammer was trying to drive a screw, and failed, do you just swing a bigger hammer because the screw is worth driving? Or, do you look for a solution more elegant. Remember, devs, Bitcoin is more elegance than code. It interlaces with humanity at a personal, familial, community, and macro level. You can't just swing a hammer at every problem that comes along and expect it to resolve cleanly. And problems will indeed come along, because it's being managed by humans. Flawed as we are, our solutions too will be. So it will take the best among us to resolve these issues elegantly, timelessly, and sustainably. Intelligent patience is what it requires. Your adversaries definitely use that daily for their work.

For those curious:

doesn’t tell its miners how to template transactions into a block. If you’re just hashing on Ocean Pool they’ll template for you. But if you are running Datum and your Node then your winning hash is templated by your own config. So Ocean will have blocks on both sides of the chain because you’re free to choose your configs as a pooled miner. This is their thesis at work.

Thanks for the dashboard component

Spam War is active. 🍿 Blockchain diverges.

Lunch on the left. Dinner on the right. Dessert at the top.

Options for having real Bitcoin:

• Get capable of self custody.
• The right kind of collaborative custody for recovery. Everything else puts control and terms of service between you and your holdings.

Golden Rules of Modern Software Respect > Capture Relationships > Moats Value-for-Value > Extraction Data > Software

The decentralization of intelligence will commoditize software, allowing us to create systems that will replace poor SaaS companies with decentralized data services that properly facilitate our relationships. SaaS will be forced to learn the golden rules of modern software.

Start the list. Open the repos. Focus the efforts.

For self-custody:

If multisig is your pick, 3 hardware wallets. One from Trezor, Blockstream, & Bitbox as the three keys. All Bitcoin-only firmware/versions.

If not multisig: a strong 25th word adds security if fully understood. Do the homework.

My Top Wallet picks: Passport Core (my fav but discont) Bitbox02 (either orig or nova) Trezor Safe series (with BTC-only) Blockstream Jade (either version) Newer Candidate: Passkey by Block (under review)

This evolution is good tv. 🍿🥤

is up and running with a few test brands. About to roll out the other 9k initial brands. Should the brands be bundled to a particular follow pack registry for better visibility above scammers and impersonators? If so, I’m not sure which follow pack sources have the best exposure and reputation. Tips on where are welcomed.

LA and Venice Beach were about the peaches and cream this trip.

Can anyone in a band tell me whether this is useful or misguided? I built this as a fan/listener but would love to hear what bands/venues think is the actual useful solution for musicians.
