Thats a chest strap heart rate monitor though. I use it myself (when running or cycling) but I think it would be pretty uncomfortable to wear it while sleeping or throughout the day as a proxy for an activity monitor.
On-topic: I use the Polar Vantage M watch myself. I like it in terms of tracking some relevant data (mainly runs & sleep) but not overdoing it. I don't know enough about the privacy preservation aspect. I guess if you do not create a Polar Flow account or never sync the wacht over Bluetooth / via the USB cable, then all the data will stay on the watch, so you should be good. And there's an 'airplane mode' and 'factory reset' on the watch. But I assume all this goes for most sportswatches without wifi connection, not just the Polar Vantage M.

I guess its a bit of a chicken & egg problem right. Merchants will (have to) accept BTC if thats what customers want to spend, customers will want to spend BTC if enough relevant merchants accept it. But hopefully over time more & more merchants ánd customers get sick of fiat & start accepting & spending 🤩 In any case kudos to you for the Bitcoin Arnhem initiative 👏

Nice bike 🤩 Have you considered electronic shifting (and/or power meter, can't see the other crank side in your pic 🥸) as a fun crazy tech upgrade? 😇 I really enjoy those myself.

In which German city is BTC already that widely accepted? Not trying to 'dox' you or anything, just curious. I recently made my first real life purchase in BTC here in NL (2 pancakes and some drinks to go with them 😋😂) but had to actively look for a place that accepts BTC. Even contacted them before visiting, to double check whether they really did accept BTC. I guess BTC acceptance by Dutch pancake restaurants is not super high on the 'how to improve the world' list, but getting from 'store of value' to 'medium of exchange' (which I hope we will) still feels like quite a big step to me.

Hope that gets better for you soon man 💪 You probably already know this and/or it has been said already, but where possible I'd try to prioritize sleep > food > exercise > social time with the people you like for a while (in that order, but I guess that's personal preference). And for what it's worth: I enjoy and appreciate the stuff you put out! 👏

The math seems OK to me, but someone arguing in favor of hyperbitcoinization might (1) argue against 'only' assuming 5x (2) wonder whether looking at a relatively short 10-year period makes sense (3) wonder whether the house will really 'stay the same' if we hyperbitcoinize (sweet word 🤩) or whether houses might go down in fiat terms while BTC goes up (4) related to point 3: wonder whether you will still be able to buy a house with a 100% mortgage and no down payment after we hyperbitcoinize. And the tax / freedom / privacy stuff already mentioned by others.

Just saw this for the second time, again made me laugh 😂 Could be sweet intro music for Fed announcements too btw: "his palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy" 🤩

Any good starting points on how to get started in the BTC circular economy? That's the part I'm most unsure about: how to get to the point of actually earning sats and using them to pay for important stuff like food / energy / housing / insurance etc. (instead of earning fiat, using that to stack sats as a better store of value and not actually spending them)

For whoever is interested, the link to the IMF report > https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2024/04/05/A-Primer-on-Bitcoin-Cross-Border-Flows-Measurement-and-Drivers-547429

Where has the IMF said this? Couldn't find it in the BTC cross border report on their website. Would be a very nice acknowledgement!

I feel very similar to what you wrote down and would be interested to read about the whole other longwinded topic 🤩

Countryside for growing up, then explore big city life when you're young wild & free and back to the countryside once you feel like it 🤩 Havent researched this extensively but it's more or less how my life went so far and that was fun!

New here, first post! #introductions
Gonna take my time to figure out which profiles & feeds I want to follow and zap around a bit. For now I wanna share two ego-checking lessons learned from joining Primal & Nostr, that I just wanna put out there in case it helps anyone:
1) When you create an account, dont forget to store the private key somehow, before signing out of the app! I incorrectly assumed the key was stored on my phone and/or I'd be able to sign back in to the app via a passcode or something. Locked myself out of account #1 that way 😂
2) When you create an account, dont forget to follow at least some profiles during the creation process! If you dont, you wont be able to (easily) follow accounts afterwards. This caused me to end up with account #2 from which I could not follow people.
Fortunately the Primal team was very helpful and explained what I was doing wrong along the way.
So here I am, on account #3, ready to read, zap & write 🤩💪
