It’s strange that the best part of many buildings are the windows. The part where there is no building.

GM!

I was just watching a video on YouTube and it once again asked me to rate the app. I find it hard to believe that the success of YouTube in 2025 relies heavily on its score in the App Store.

Good Morning!

Real Coffee is going to be amazing! Well done @Peter McCormack and team. Good luck tomorrow. Really impressed with how Pete is pouring into his home town.

One of the curiosities of Bitcoin is that it makes saving addictive. Somehow Satoshi took something that was traditionally boring and sensible and gamified it to feel radical and exhilarating.

As for strategy - just trying to stay humble, just trying to stack sats.

Sometimes I find myself rehearsing a speech in my head that no-one has asked me to give, nor am I likely to ever need. Why do I do this?

Who is using Strike bill-pay? I have questions.

When the penny finally dropped and I really began to understand Bitcoin, it felt like a small miracle that I could buy any at all. Let alone that I could buy 1000’s of sats from my phone as I made my way to work.

Everything is downstream of money. Fix the money, fix the world.

Bitcoin buys you the most valuable asset of all: Time All bitcoiners expect Bitcoin to appreciate over the next 100 years. We also expect that it will appreciate more than anything else. And by understanding this you can buy back your time. Traditionally, people plow some of their hard earned money into retirement accounts accounts typically investing in something like an S&P500 index fund. This is to protect against inflation. And it’s worked, to a point. It means that hopefully you reach a point where you can quit work and live off your ‘savings’ But Bitcoin does it better. It’s designed precisely to store value over time. Since it will appreciate faster than anything else, it brings forward to day when you don’t need to work for money anymore. There’s only one thing more valuable than Bitcoin and that’s time. But Bitcoin allows you to buy time. That’s pretty powerful.

So if Trump does announce something day one, what price are we hitting?

If you want your scrambled eggs to be better, it’s simple: 1) Never use milk 2) Take the amount of butter you currently use and double it. 3) Cook low and slow

How would the economy function on sound money? This is something I ponder quite a lot. I decided to do an experiment with the help of the LLM’s I got Groq to simulate a game of monopoly with normal rules. I then asked it to repeat the same game but with one change. No-one collects any money when passing Go. I figured this would help simulate an economy without inflation by keeping money supply fixed. I then asked Groq to analyse the difference between the two games. Here’s what it said: Now that we've changed the game to remove the "passing Go" rule, where players receive money when they pass Go, the game has changed in several ways: 1. **Slower accumulation of wealth**: Without the "passing Go" rule, players are no longer accumulating wealth as quickly as they were before. This means that the game is taking longer to reach its conclusion. 2. **Increased competition**: With the removal of the "passing Go" rule, players are now competing more directly for the limited resources available in the game. This has led to a more intense and competitive game. 3. **Greater emphasis on strategic decision-making**: Players must now make more strategic decisions about how to allocate their resources and manage their finances in order to succeed in the game. 4. **Increased risk of bankruptcy**: Without the "passing Go" rule, players are now more likely to go bankrupt if they are not careful with their finances. This adds an extra layer of risk and uncertainty to the game. 5. **Changes in player behavior**: Players are now more likely to focus on building up their assets and managing their finances carefully, rather than relying on the "passing Go" rule to accumulate wealth. Overall, the removal of the "passing Go" rule has made the game more challenging and competitive, and has required players to be more strategic and careful with their finances in order to succeed. What do we think. Anything to learn here about the real economy?

Protein + Sunlight + Sleep This is the way.

Back in 2020 when I first became really curious about Bitcoin I felt like I was too late. It had mooned and I’d missed it. The only true Bitcoiner I knew calmly reassured me ‘you’re never too late. That’s the point’. I had no idea what he meant at the time. But after a few months the down the rabbit-hole it all made perfect sense. Now I’m the one telling people. ‘You’re never too late. That’s the point.’

Trying out Bitkit - seems nice bitcoin:bc1qzcppgg85esyfw76jydd7gnsxja2kejvhl80plu
