Whenever someone says we're still early in Bitcoin, I find it hard to believe. But after today I think we really are. TLDR, many people still think they need to buy a whole Bitcoin which is why they opt for something cheaper. Today kinda played out something like this: Car Rental Guy: Nice Bitcoin shirt. Me: Hey, thank you... Car Rental Guy: No problem! Do you invest in any other crypto? Me: There is no second best. Everything else is not worth the time. Car Rental Guy: Really? I stick with Solana because it’s cheaper and, well, I think it’s the better alt coin. I get that Bitcoin is the best, but it always seemed out of my reach. Me: Do you know how Solana works? Nevermind...that’s the thing, you don’t need to buy a whole Bitcoin. You can use DCA and pick up portions over time until you have one full coin. Hard to get to 6.15 these days. Car Rental Guy: Seriously? I had no clue! All this time, I was buying these other coins when I could have been building up Bitcoin before the bull run. Me: Exactly. I actually use Strike to do it. Want me to show you how to set it up? Car Rental Guy: Absolutely! But I have CashApp. I can use that right? Car Rental Guy: I just bought $50 worth of Bitcoin. Me: That’s awesome. So you going to convert your shitcoin to Bitcoin? Car Rental Guy: Yup will do it later tonight. Whether he converts it or not, its a start and I hope he really does.
This is what a #Bitcoin Strategic Reserve looks like. Bitcoin only or no reserve at all. image
Let’s be real. Bukele is the first bitcoin president.
New day, ignored the noise, stayed humble, and stacked sats. #FreeRoss tonight.
Hawaii has always had a deep connection to iconic brands that resonate with its people. One that’s especially popular here is Defend Hawaii — a brand that embodies pride, resilience, and standing strong for what matters most. Inspired by this local favorite and the iconic #DefendBrooklyn brand, I sublimated a shirt and bought more #Bitcoin today. image
Imagine governments rebase their fiat currencies with Bitcoin….
Seeing the world through the Bitcoin lens presents a significantly improved perspective.
Started off strong in 2024 but finished off like crap. 2025 will be different. image
GM to those that have kids that know what’s up. Picked up my daughter from school and received this. She said she made it in art class. Makes me curious what her teacher thought about. HODL strong. image
The "2024: BITCOIN IN REVIEW w/ @HODL & @ODELL " episode of the What Bitcoin Did podcast was a good one. It is also what made me move to nostr.
I love cheap sats. Stay humble and stack as many as you can.
Good morning Nostr. Checking Nostr in the morning > Scrolling X in the morning. The vibe is completely different—it leaves me feeling better and more refreshed compared to what I see on X.
"Don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait." That came up in a conversation with a family member last night. I flipped it around and said, "Don't wait to buy Bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin and have a low time preference." I can’t blame him for wanting to buy a home now, especially with a young family. He’s looking for space—a yard for the kids and a place to host family gatherings. But buying a $1.4 million home in Hawaii, with a $7k monthly mortgage, doesn’t strike me as an investment. The house is beautiful, no doubt, and he’s already doing well with a nice home and a rental property. This new purchase, though, is intended to be more than a home—it’s meant to be an investment, a place to live, and something to pass down to future generations. I did my best to make the case for Bitcoin instead. We've had long discussions about Bitcoin and why now is such a pivotal time to get some. But I think his mind is made up. Time will tell if his decision pans out the way he hopes—or if my perspective on Bitcoin starts to resonate.
Holy shit. Just got my first #zap on nostr just by writing an article. This is the way. Fck trying to monetize on #X. 🧡
Change my mind. The Bitcoin feed on #nostr is 1000000x better than Bitcoin Twitter.
Saving the Bitcoin #higher bottle for New Year’s Eve. For now, this will surely do. #peonylane image
