thinking about why my following count is small compared to twitter. it’s two things. one: new, compelling content from accounts im not already following doesn’t cross my feed that often. two: my feed already feels kinda busy so it doesn’t occur to me to seek out more stuff

nifty’s last adventure of 2024 was out to a yacht in #miami for the #btc #100k 🙌 congrats on your conviction #saylor 🥂 #niftytok bitcoin going up is cool i guess.

gm! want to get into bitcoin development but don’t know where to start to understand the basics of how transactions work? sign up for @npub1vmpf...xhm7 ’s online intro class and get 50% off now through the end of the year using this link https://www.udemy.com/course/base58-bitcoin-transactions-one/?referralCode=4405769CAB73A12745F4 a lot of people have told me this class is life changingly good; others say it’s the best way to get prepped for Chaincode’s #BOSS program which is starting their second cohort in a few weeks!

my favorite dog training book (Karen Pryor’s Don’t Shoot the Dog) is really careful to make the point that when you give a dog a treat you have to give it to them with as much love and respect as possible; throwing the treat at the dog undoes all the work you did to earn their respect to follow your orders

gm we’re taking a trip to #texas today ✈️ #niftytravels #traveltok bye #nyc

a life long avowed agnostic, i recently came to the realization that i do believe in good and evil, which unfortunately i think does mean that i definitely believe in god

bitcoin is an IQ test and i swear to god the 80IQ guys really did win this round lmao 😂
