We tend to talk about Bitcoin lowering our time preference, but in one sense it massively raises it. Once you truly get Bitcoin, it's hard to take a long term risk regarding your income because stacking as many Sats as possible right now is going to pay off massively in the long run. What kind of world do you want to live in? - One where the only people "dumb enough" to take risk are fiat minded and make shitty stuff Or - One where you're the fkn man living the life you constructed, but with less Bitcoin. You're really gonna wait "another cycle" until you're ready to start building the life of your dreams?

It'll be 2 years before I sell this Malbec. If I outperform more Bitcoin, great If I don't, great. image

You can cringe at someone's chosen path and still root for them to succeed.

Feels like I should be able to redeem MSTR shares for the Bitcoin per share if they want me to take that metric seriously.

Veraison is here! This marks the beginning of the end for my growing season, though Pinot Noir is the very last thing picked in the entire valley. Over the next 45 days, these grapes will deepen in color and develop incredible depth in flavor due to the continued hot days, but increasingly cool evenings. That's what makes high elevation wines special. These massive diurnal shifts in temperature from day to night are what make High Elevation wines so special. Put succinctly, it slows down ripening and helps preserve acidity in grapes. Warm days push sugar accumulation and flavor development, while cool nights lock in freshness and aromatic intensity. The result is wines with more balance: ripe fruit character from the heat and bright structure and complexity from the chill. This is what makes Pinot Noir from Paonia so unique and special. image
