Twenty years ago, VCs used to talk about the billion dollar question. Now they talk about the trillion dollar question (e. g. Marc Andreessen in his recent conversation with Lex Fridman). VC expectation inflation: 42% p.a.

I always appreciate a good sense of humor: In this blog post, Compass Mining asks whether my miners were ready for the halving. Well, given that at most 6 of my 12 miners have been up and running in the last three months, I would think so, indeed. The S19 XP seems to be quite a delicate animal. Is Compass Mining on nostr?

How Bitcoin Mining Operations Are Preparing for the Halving

Is your hardware ready for the halving? That’s the latest question miners are asking themselves with ten months to go before the programmatic red...

A very special dial on my boat is the big one on the bottom left: currently at +10%. I think you know what it shows…

I know it is silly to post and recommend every second TFTC RIP but John Titus absolutely nails it. As it turns out at the very end of the conversation, John is a #Bitcoin maxi who does not know it yet. Loved it how @MartyBent orange pilled him, namely not - as Bitcoin will reveal itself to John without help in a moment. https://fountain.fm/episode/bpIvG6yCWP4lSDMZEIBZ

Not sure Erik (nbjs.org) is on nostr and if he will respond to my Email and dinner invitation but if he does I will do my best to explain the wonders of #Bitcoin. @Lina Seiche

„The most corrupt timeline is that the Gemini twins try to launch an ETF in 2013, they knock down all the ETFs along the way, they wait until Gemini is in hot water with uncle Barry and owe a billion dollars to users, they go after Coinbase, they go after Binance, they have like seven different paper-Bitcoin ETFs and most people aren’t biting on, and then they have Black rock coming in and scoop up the spout ETF market all white Gary is going around saying I’m protecting consumers“ - @ODELL with @MartyBent , The Rabbit Hole Recap #257

I have arrived on my sailboat Maranea. The first 2-3 days are usually a bootstrap process for the sailboat and the sailor. Polishing the petroleum lamps is joyful as it connects me to the sailor who lived hundreds of years ago. For me, sailing is a way of living on the water. It is an opportunity to spend meaningful time with friends and family. And it forcefully drags me out of my more stationary winter life. It could be that this account will turn into a channel, but I believe sailing is another way to connect with life. Here, nature is king, and my job is to read and align with the wind, the waves, and the crew.

Super interesting @Nostrovia Podcast episode in which Joseph Wang offers a more balanced view on the role of China and the outlook of #Bitcoin as reserve currency. Brilliant.

"A really good measure on which country is really free is if they don't try and stop you from practicing your freedom of choosing which money you want. [...] I think America is failing that test right now. [...] Rights are not granted, rights are taken and defended." - @ODELL - https://www.youtube.com/live/MOIgZUN7U_4?feature=share&t=2330

LIFE has totally absorbed me these last weeks, and I feel to have fallen behind on nostr. The cool thing about a decentralized and permissionless network is that this is just fine. I don't need permission to not post. I don't need permission to not read it all. I spent a lot of time upgrading my node... (bitcoind 🤙🏻: No time spent here. The software powering the Bitcoin network is likely the most robust software ever written. As someone who, in a distant past, ran full nodes for ETH, IOTA, and ADA I can tell you that bitcoind is unique in requiring zero hand-holding.) ... spent time playing Tennis with my team... ... and spent time preparing for the upcoming sailing cruise from Holland to Norway. The cruising season will start in a couple of weeks ⛵️.
