Gm nostriches, already storming through the week into Wednesday, have to maybe do a bit of prep for teaching on Friday, but also keep on going with some writing from yesterday. Janky to say the least, but beginning to break “wellbeing” down certainly has a motivational draw……. Bring a little inflation and bitcoin into the mix, no idea whether it can be kept academic or whether I have to make it some type of autoethnography bull crap, but low time preference as a foundation for improved wellbeing, now see what’s written about that. “hey fatty, that £9 extra sugar syrup retard latte may get you through the next 10 minutes but you’re failing every part of next year’s you” Maybe keep it a little more conceptual, but let’s see if there is any literature out there. Holy crap there is some rubbish. 🤔 Head down, but eyes on the prize, says the guy who had Macca’s for his dinner last night (for the kid’s birthday, ok 🤣, holy crap 💩 inflation is doing a number on those nuggets!!!!)…….. #coffeechain to the rescue and kid birthday season done for another year…… not that I did much, other than buy a disgustingly sweet dessert that got fully rejected.

Gm nostriches, 14 years ago, today, after leaving the, then, girlfriend waiting to go into labour at hospital, I had gone home to spend a final evening with the dog (my first born), then early in the morning, got a phone call that Labour had started so I had to hot foot it into the Labour suite. Respecting the order of duties, I had a quick shower, took the dog a short walk, and then went in, much to the annoyance of the rather exasperated mother to be. Mother is still exasperated about most things, I’d still choose to take the dog a walk before leaving the house…… Weird how a birthday message to the eldest turned into a message about the dog. Also Birthday present from the cat!!!! Found it with a bare foot!

All my students had heard of a blockchain, none of them had ever been to mempool.space. Now those attending have now actually seen the blockchain in action, but no one has so far claimed the sats in the wallet. Wait and see.

Gm nostriches, back into the grind of a Monday morning, two hour lecture this afternoon, chance to work out what small addition to make through the morning, other than referring back to my bitcoin analogy on Friday to see if anyone was paying attention, and so connect this with the seed word treasure hunt a few of them have actually been engaging with. 😉 And so, maybe open the laptop in the lecture to see if anyone has taken it or just include a link to the utxo…..……… “if someone won, there is no way to who that is. Isn’t it wild, guys???” Now let me hear from you all, “Bitcoin is awesome!” BTW, I lost mine in a boating accident through the summer (best not mention about coldcard or entropy just yet) #coffeechain

Ge nostriches, strange moment, as my youngest turns 10, looking back on the past decade, thinking about where I was, where I am now, what I’ve learnt and with the power of hindsight, what would I tell my former self; no stock picks allowed…….. Apart from look after your head buddy (was recovering from a concussion at the time, and no idea what I should be doing), I’d also say, deep breath, keep a level head. Everyday you’ll be tested, remember what our brother told us, you can only change your own opinions, and as Marcus Aurelius says, it isn’t what the world (other people) does to you, but how you react. Deep breath, everyday, you’ve got this, eat your steak, sleep as well as you can, go on a bike ride more often, oh, and say hi to Dug. 🥲

Richard J Murphy, explaining how MMT will arrive in the future, being a solution to the latest crisis. Linguistic gymnastics and weasel words to justify why debt doesn’t matter. Hey price, building resources requires market demands and efficient use of resources (including money) to build them overtime. Just printing will call all sorts of tomfoolery. Love listening to Keynesian retards. Catastrophizing on every front with the money providing this idiot of solution. We need to crisis to get our evil way that our theory will help solve.

Gm nostriches, happy Sunday, youngest enjoying progressing into the world of double digits, but given she has a Bitcoin endowment with her name one it, at least she will never have to be subject to the tyranny of double digit inflation.

Gm nostriches, happy Friday, feeling something was going on yesterday with the mini dump that nicely held around $82k/£61k, but if blocks are coming in roughly every 10 minutes and I can still say fuck you to HMRC by transacting in a way they have no idea about, all is good. Pizza dough in the machine for this evening, #catstr fed, #coffeechain in hand. Teaching at 9 today, then returning to the wellbeing piece, to take out the “I’d be happy with a title or badge”, to say that missed the point of the piece is an understatement, I’m more interested in management simply reading what I have to say and acknowledging wellbeing is more than some hippie, saying “you have to find time for yourself”. “I just don’t give a shit” because I’m working on this, I’m not sure a lot of my colleagues can say the same, so will be off, either in terms of finding another job or off sick. May also remove the reference to the dog, because I just don’t need to share such stuff, yeah man, stoic life!!!!

Ga nostriches (touch early but been a long morning), in yesterdays school meeting there was an opening for a “wellbeing champion”, jokingly suggested I should go for it, but as I think about it, what would you prefer? a stoic, relatively healthy, steak eating bitcoiner giving you support in your wellbeing journey (I may just say “suck it up you little bitch”), or some fat 50 year old, depressed woman with nothing better to do in her career????……. Seriously tempted to apply, even just for the shits and giggles I’ll get from the “no fucks to give” answers I’m happy to provide in any interview!!! 🫡🙌
