On the stationary bike, talking to Claude AI. Dog at my feet. Life is good… If you own Bitcoin. The flip side is I’m worried for my generation - Gen X - who hasn’t paid attention to real inflation. Not 3% that’s on the news but the 6-7-8% (or more?) that makes it too expensive to eat out with your family. So I’m talking to Claude about how much BTC you need, assuming the power curve/power law holds, to retire at 65. I’m happy working longer, and, I know biology is undefeated, so 65 yr old me likey can’t work as much. It’s not a huge amount of bitcoin to change a friend’s retirement, but the longer they wait the more they have to get. Claude thinks 200k is a magic level where interest in bitcoin will swell. Obviously I’m preaching to the choir here, but running the numbers it’s (obviously) going to be harder to get .3 in 3 years than it is to get .3 today, let alone in 2030. Finally, Google Search Trends over the past five years for bitcoin, gold, and silver: Minus a bump after Trump’s election bitcoin searches are down. Gold and silver up over the same time, and with an inflection point the last few months for those two, and a stepper dive down for Bitcoin searches.

GM 😀👊☕️ I aiming to be as joyful throughout the day as the dog was this morning playing fetch. #coffeechain

Great day - package from @woodMiner, dog park, a short bike ride, work. I have my wallets messed up and incoming zaps are going to @npub1yzvx...rf8q but here is the #zaplog. GN 😀👊💤

I don’t know if this is a thing but I saw @SuiGenerisJohn @Jay @Leviticus Mathew do #31days and I wanted in on the fun - is #30days a thing? 35 min spin on indoor bike, taking to Claude. 2/#30days

I just finished working and have some more work tonight. But my work helps people - and they say thanks for the help, which I know most people don’t often hear in their jobs. I’m really blessed; I need to be more grateful for the work.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited about a purchase with sats as I am with the boards and other items from @woodMiner I’ll let the pictures do the talking. I bought the big board, the #bitaxe stand and the keys tray. He threw in the small board which I’ll use for garlic and onions. The boards are cherry and over time, with oil/beeswax applied monthly, the colors should deepen. This wood was dried with excess heat from miners! Check him out to see then workspace with the wood in there. I always wanted a nice cutting board and to get one with sats is awesome. Thank you @woodMiner 🙏🏻😀👊 #worththesats #circulareconomy #bitcoin #mining #bitaxe #heatpunk #zapsnag

Saturday night. #dogstr #bitcoin

35 min easy spin on the bike. Talked to Claude about a little project I’m working on. You have to re-feed it data that’s already in the project knowledge, which I find both annoying and surprising - this seems like table stakes for an LLM. 1/#30days

GM 😀👊☕️ Like @npub15ufp...q2e3 said in their GM, it’s great to be in the gratitude and thankfulness month. The dog and I slept in a bit, played fetch longer than normal, which means we got to see a some orange this morning. #coffeechain #plebchain

Great day. Couldn’t ask for more. Some weekend reading. Let’s see what I can accomplish by Jan 3. GN 😀👊💤
