Great day. The dog spent a lot of time in the snow. He’s going to sleep well. I’m going to sleep well too after a solid Zone 2 bike ride for 3 / #31days The dog and I had a nice walk after dinner. I forget how quiet it is at night after it snows. Gn 😀👊💤

The first thing I do when I get to my desk each morning is check to see how many sats my miners mined via @npub1qtvl...7dze in the past 24 hours. Lately that’s been before I check the price on the Bitcoin 1 Million app. I need to be someone who goes days without checking the price, but this is trending in the right direction. #progressnotperfection

Gm 😀👊☕️❄️ First significant snow of the year. It’s super wet and the drive to take the kids to school was a mess. When the older one drove off in their car I said a little prayer. 😬🙏🏻 Big next 10 days for the business. The economy in the U.S. is crap for most folks, and for the people I serve things are tight, so I’m assuming sales will be down from the past two years. Gotta build the new business after the holidays, which is exciting. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

Great day. The dog seems like he’s back to normal…because he’s acting like an annoying 17 month old doodle 🤷😂 First day of track practice was a blast. Coaching is the best and I’m so fortunate I get to do it. We’ll wake up to our first significant snow tomorrow. Gn 😀👊💤

Zone 2 for a middle age man is magic. For younger athletes zone training is silly, but for people my age the ability to get in a workout that makes your face sweat, and be recovered to do it the next day, Zone 2 is the way. 2 / #31days #fitstr #bikestr

Gm 😀👊☕️ The poor dog was up off and on all night. Stomach issues. When I’m tired after a night like this I typically mediate a bit less as I get to a calm state pretty fast, a state I sometimes never get to with the 21 min meditation. Cold shower with @SoapMiner pine tar soap woke me up fast 😂 I’m going to try to onboard the one coffee shop where I know people by name. I need to pick up the 2-page leave behind I made at the printer. Here’s the math behind this for three types of merchants. Have a great day! #coffeechain #plebchain nostr: View article →

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 😀👊💤

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 →
