Have made a couple of updates to

MSTR: RIP or RIPPING?

Firstly, have added a required Bitcoin ARR to calculate when the project forward button is used. This illustrates a facet of the 11.5% STRC rate that many do not think about when they conceptualise it as a pretty high interest rate - it doesn’t compound. Hence - based on position to date, if we look 20 years into the future the breakeven Bitcoin annual rate of return to match the prefs plus dividends from the current price is only around 7% p.a. This is an underrated component of the maths - over a 20 year term MSTR only need Bitcoin to appreciate at USD money supply growth to keep pace with current dividends and not leave the equity holders out of pocket from issuing the prefs. Secondly, Strive has demonstrated itself a very interesting player in the space with the move to daily dividends. Have added a separate Strive tab with SATA so users can monitor similar performance for those prefs and dividends. #mstr #strc #bitcoin #strive #sata

Both Google and Apple Maps are dreadful. Google especially far worse than it used to be for simply finding local businesses on a certain street for area, for example. Clearly it’s been commercialised to the utmost degree - I assume businesses need to pay for reach - and now essentially useless for a clear picture of what’s on a street. Has anyone ever had a go at open sourcing map provision like this? Surely a powerful concept if the incentives are aligned right to prevent abuse and draw in collaboration from users. #asknostr #maps

I have now deleted my Twitter account, and my medium account. All articles have been transferred to Nostr. I'm also done submitting with Bitcoin magazine for fairly obvious reasons. Trying to channel my inner @Jeff Booth here- vote for and build the world you want to see in your actions. Nostr has incredible potential. Within the very definition of that potential there is no free lunch. Expect to pay for relays to host content, for clients to deliver it to you, and zap for posts or content you want to see. It should incentivise others to host, deliver or create content. I need to do more of this, but as a start any zaps to my articles on Nostr have been set up to send half to the relays that host them. Elon Musk continues to head down the wrong path in many of his actions to monetise Twitter. It is fairly clear that much of what @ODELL predicted is coming true. By layering in identity verification, he is seeking to extract ever more value from users information. Nostr needs to benefit from what Taleb referred to as the intolerant minority - in this case those who vote with their feet and refuse to engage with the walled gardens of Facebook and X, etc - and instead bring their time, money and attention to Nostr. #nostr #deletetwitter
