Silently building The Bitcoin Standard
I do not believe you can find a more refined leather holster on the market today.
- Most are made from hand-dyed leather. Beautiful in its own right, but in my opinion it cannot match the depth, consistency, and character of a world-class Italian tannery.
- Most are machine stitched. Perfectly functional, but a hand saddle stitch remains the strongest stitch in leatherworking while offering a level of refinement no machine can truly replicate.
- Most use polyester thread. It works, but I believe plastic has no place in a premium leather good. Linen belongs with leather. Visually, materially, and philosophically. They are on the same frequency.
- Most are stitched at around 4 mm spacing. This holster is stitched at 3 mm using a French-style slanted saddle stitch, creating a finer, denser, and more elegant appearance.
- Most are unlined. This one is fully lined with leather, adding rigidity, helping protect the firearm's finish, and creating a cleaner and unique interior.
I'm open to make custom holster if you're interested. Depending on the level of customization you're looking for be prepared to pay around 250$-350$.
It's not cheap but within industry standard from what I've seen and I believe mine are better. DM me or send an email. I'll probably answer faster by email.

That popping sound 🍾
I'm getting zapped so hard for the holster. The Market is speaking. I'm not even sure The Bitcoin Standard the book got that much love here.
I dod the wet molding and I'm waiting for it to dry. Gotta wait at least 24h before I can try the final product.
Was feeling lazy. Hard time getting to work for more than 15 min. Then I realized it's Sunday. Everything I do today is bonus. I'm allowed to be as lazy as I wish.
Yes. I'm quickly running out of trust and my only entrepreneurial experience is in Bitcoin. I can only imagine how hard/impossible it is to find a trusted business partner you can count on to act in good faith.

"Nodes weighted by commerce"
I like this tweet from Saylor. Imo the power of "an economic node" is not simply in the verifying of transactions like some claim it is. This is not the part that makes a node gain influence. It's probably more accurate to describe a node with influence as a "providing node". What can I obtain if can communicate value with this node? What do I lose If my node or his node fork off.
The lower you are situated in the supply chain the more influential your node is. I guarantee you that the farmer as more influence than you as a consumer. If the farmer fork off, you might just fork off too. If you fork off, the farmer probably won't give a fuck.

I didn't have to cut all night and I'm ready to get to continue
Such a pleasure to do business with a tannery.
- They actually care about their craft and the quality of their production.
- They understand the needs of their customers and can accommodate them when it comes to hide sizes.
- The needed communication is minimal.
- The work is done fast.
I have to be very careful when I say this because I am not sure yet but *I think* I can do better than this for those prices.

- What is Bitcoin?
- Well I think Bitcoin is trustless aggreement.
- WRONG Bitcoin is code!
- Oh okay well what is a pen then?
- A pen is a handheld writing instrument that applies ink to a surface, usually paper.
- WRONG a pen is a bunch of atoms!
You see what's happening here?
I'm gonna be cutting all night

65 additional goat hide for the leatherbound edition of The Bitcoin Standard with Saifedean paid for with Bitcoin from a French producer.
God bless BullBitcoin and their European division.
I am completely unbothered and uninterested by anything that doesn't directly have to do with my craft, the development of my Bitcoin standard and my family.
If I get my way with them maybe I can produce the Bitcoin standard of holsters.
If you wanted a very nice holster for your gun and you had infinite budget where would you go? I'm trying to figure out who's the gold standard right now.
