It's my birthday today! BTC is on a thrill ride for it so I just added more to my stack. Here's to another year! 🍷🍷

The price today reminds of something I used to see trading biotechs. Hit a new high then the floor gets pulled out

@Ben Justman🍷! Somebody posted your fake superimposed story in a FB group as if it was real

In all this price talk, just remember how shitty inflation has been since 21 and that "price" is even further away than it was before.

It's not about the price to me, it's about the marketing. The price increase just brings more marketing which in turn gets its name out there more. In the end, all publicity is good publicity.

Each "bull run" just feels different than the last. 2013, barely anyone I knew mentioned BTC. 2017, a few did, but mostly to poke fun at about when it would crash in tulip fashion. The hype in 2021 when it was in this price range was so retail driven and media was focusing on producing content for retail to read. Friends and colleagues were just starting to mention it more and ask if I still owned any. I'd long given up promoting it to them and would just say "yeh, some". Now here we are back in the same range, and it feels so more under the radar for the hype amid retail. So wild. Truly each time has been its own animal. Which is why I never believe any of these projections or hypflunecers trying to sell you their shovels. It's all white noise to me. I just ignore them and keep stacking.

I'm shutting down my node I setup 4-5 years ago that I originally built for learning purposes. If you have a channel with me, that is why our channel is closing. It's just a raspberry pi, so not sure how much longer I can trust it. Shutting down all channels today since fees are low. Thanks for the memories. If you wish to connect a new channel with me, the new one is

Finally fixed my old self custodial lightning address for zaps. 🐢⚡️

Transferring over all zap related actions to the new @VersusMedia Film & Music lightning node. Apologies in advance if any of the games have issues.

One day you wake up and realize you have a cabinet full of manuals you never looked at. For me that day was today.

Had a massive “to do” list today and go it all done for once. Feeling super accomplished. It’s all finally coming together🍷🍷

These guys were wrong

Been recently noticing a weird trend with some other programmers. They'll just give up trying to figure out an issue. They'll just "Nope" out of it. F'n quitters.
