First time wearing varifocals today. Reading a book or my phone is comfortable again. Winning.

Favourite beater daily watch? Loving this Seiko SPRG27K1 I picked up for £80 on eBay.

Thought I couldn't be more radicalised for Bitcoin and against Fiat. I was wrong. Transferring funds from a UK to US bank account, not hearing anything for almost a week and then having funds returned less almost 5% fees just taught me different. Fiat international bank transfers are shambolic - FUBAR. Bitcoin fixes international conveyancing.

Used Ledn.io/wbd for the first time yesterday. Approved in minutes. Collateral sent and confirmed within the hour. Funding received in my bank account within 4 hours. Land purchase incoming. The rate beat the best quote I was approved for at Tesco Bank UK, who expected me to wait for delivery of a credit contract to sign and return, and up to two weeks for funds to arrive. We are crossing the Rubicon.

Now do Starmer.

Happy 17th Genesis Block Day.
