Now we’re cooking. Just crossed 500k blocks processed from genesis and a few thousand from the current chain tip. Pretty interesting to see how the median was affected during the 2015 spam attack. Will be even more interesting to see how it drops with the most recent spam attack.

My accountant just told me I need the cost basis of every zap I've ever received "as a gift" so if ya'll wouldn't mind passing along that info, that'd be great. Lol...jk. The IRS is cooked.

Can a bitcoin friendly CPA (assuming there are any on Nostr) riddle me this...? And please assume I'm a cucked normie who wants to pay taxes. If I send a single 1 sat zap on Nostr, what are the tax implications of that single zap? Even if we assume a cost basis of $0, the gain would be far less than a $1 so do we even have to technically report it? Or do we report it with a gain rounded down to $0? Now let's assume I've sent 10000 zaps, 1 sat each...what are the tax implications of those? Does each one individually round down to a $0 gain like in the original example, or are we supposed to take the sub-penny gains in aggregate and then round to the nearest dollar?

Where's bitcoin headed this epoch? 🔴🟠🟡🟢

What's the largest zap ever sent over Nostr? Someone's gotta be keeping track of that, right? Would be cool to get the complete historical data set for all zaps and make some animations with it.

What happens to zaps that are sent while my Alby Hub is shut down? I'm assuming they just fail.

Note to self…when replying with GIFs, use Damus…not Primal. 😅 View quoted note →

There are already native GIFs on Nostr!!! 😱 View quoted note →

Wen native GIFs on Nostr?

no cap, orange pill.

SomE cAPs sOMe CHiLL?

Just opened another channel on my Alby Hub node…because why not? This inbound liquidity should last me a while now. One thing I love using it for is sweeping all of the sats I’ve got sitting in my random custodial Lightning wallets. Feels good to get everything into self custody.

One of my goals for 2025 is to get rid of my dependencies on Glassnode's data and to pull and analyze the HODL wave data directly from my own node.

It's been 3 whole weeks since bitcoin's made a new all time high. 👴

How does it make you feel knowing that over half of the current bitcoin UTXOs are worth 1,000 sats or less?
