Long day. Good day. Haven’t been scrolling much but here is the #zaplog for the last few days. Check out @Goldgraphy if you haven’t. Great images, and a great guy. Gn 😀👊💤

I’ve bought so many things with bitcoin the last few months and all have been #worththesats. My favorite is this cutting board from @woodMiner It makes me smile daily. It was was a significant amount of sats for me, and it’s worth every Satoshi. And he uses heat from miners to dry the wood. So cool. #circulareconomy #v4v #heatpunk

Gm 😀👊☕️ I’ve walked the dog and mediated and taken a cold shower. I’m excited for the team meeting today with the track and field (athletics) team I’ll be coaching. But first a full day of work. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

Heres what I leaned this month about what merchants can gain in both cash and bitcoin by turning on Square’s new button. 1. If you had a coffee shop, liquor store, and brewery in the same neighborhood, the brewery has the most to gain. Annual credit card fees:     •    Coffee shop: ~$16K     •    Liquor store: ~$28K     •    Brewery: ~$31K 2. You only need 1% of customers paying Bitcoin in 2026, growing to 4% by 2030, for meaningful accumulation. 3. Square's 50/50 option - half cash, half Bitcoin - means no one's betting their business. With this approach over 5 years: - Coffee shop stacks ~0.08 BTC - Liquor store stacks ~0.15 BTC - Brewery stacks ~0.21 BTC 4. Breweries can host bitcoin meetups on slow nights - turning Tuesday into a community event. 5. The language you learned bitcoin in - Austrian economics, sound money, freedom money - is foreign to someone trying to make payroll. Let’s not lead with that. (I also explain why I’m not sure the “no chargeback” aspect of bitcoin is a good one to lead with for these businesses). 6. They don't need to understand Bitcoin to benefit from accepting it. The article below takes about 12 minutes to read. At the end is a GitHub link with 2-page leave-behinds you can print on card stock for your local coffee shop, brewery, or liquor store. If the merchant gets curious, there's a 20-minute read time document for each type of merchant laying out the full financial case. Bottom line: even with the 50/50 approach, they end up with more cash on hand AND a nice little stack after five years. #bitcoin #merchantadoption #circulareconomy nostr: View article →

Gm 😀👊☕️ Walked the dog and meditated and took a cold shower. Now I’m treating myself to a bagel sandwich and some DGC (damn good coffee). I have to work work and do house work, but God willing a Christmas tree will be up by the time I go to bed. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

Been working on something for Bitcoiners who want to get their local merchants accept Bitcoin. I modeled a brewery, a liquor store, and a coffee shop to see if their bottom line’s are improved by accepting bitcoin. Turns out they can get more cash and have a nice stack in 5 years if they just turn on this option in their Square terminal. Turns out the brewery wins big - up to $50K in extra business value over 5 years just by doing 50/50 on Bitcoin payments - 50% held in cash, 50% keep on the balance sheet in Bitcoin - through Square. I had done this initially with coffee shop but the brewery gets more out of accepting payments. I think these are realistic numbers: Just 1% of customers in 2026 growing to 4% by 2030 would pay in bitcoin. I put everything on GitHub - the full analyses, printable two-pagers you can leave with owners, conversation scripts, etc. But read the article first to and then check out the links to everything at the end of the article. Obviously it’d be great if you shared this with others. Thanks! 😀 #bitcoin #merchantadoption #circulareconmy #lightning #square #cashapp

GM 😀👊☕️ I waked the dog and mediated and took a cold shower. I was so excited to start the work day that I forgot to say GM 😀 Lots to do. Going to go by Costco to see if they have any good rib roasts on sale that they didn’t sell this week. Maybe I’ll get lucky and we’ll have a killer meal Saturday or Sunday. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

GM 😀👊☕️ I love Thanksgiving and I’m excited to spend time with my mom and her syblings. I’m grateful to be alive and grateful I got to see these clouds walking the dog this morning. Have a great day! 🦃 #coffeechain #plebchain

GM 😀👊☕️ The dog and I had a nice walk - he found several sticks - and then I mediated for 21 min and took a cold shower. The coffee tastes like soap for some reason - user error 😂 Aiming to have a good attitude with a longish list of annoying tasks that I must get done. But I’m grateful to have work in this economy. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

I just got off the stationary bike talking to Claude AI about #bitcoin. Assuming the #powerlaw math continues… By 2035 what it cost this week to get 0.1 bitcoin will get you just 0.01 😬 I knew this before I ran the numbers, but it is powerful to see. I’m doing my best not to deceive myself as to how crucial it is to mine fiat and stack sats in the next 2-4 years. The window is closing. It’s go time. #stayhumblestacksats

GM 😀👊☕️ All the normal AM things, plus a fun one: I bought a cup of coffee with sats. 😀 Some fun comments behind the counter about seeing “1,000s” It was fun. It’s reasonably close to my house so my plan is to go at least monthly and see some number go down action 😀 Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain #merchantadoption #bitcoin
