Agree with szarka - bitaxe is fun and a great learning tool for those that want to understand mining a little bit more: solo mining (public-pool.io), pool mining (ocean.xyz), firmware upgrades, over/under clock, hash rate and efficiency - all part of running any size mining setup.
A bitaxe makes a nice conversation piece as well.
Running a node is fun in a different way - IMO it’s more of a ’software experience’ - connecting your wallet (sparrowwallet.com, zeusln.com, etc) to the node, managing lightning channels and running a server. Start9.com makes great node software (DIY) and complete hardware packages.
Not sure there is progression other than possibly:
- get your coins off the exchanges
- secure your seed phrase(s)
- secure your coins with a hardware wallet
Eventually:
- run a node and/or run a miner
#bitaxe makes running a miner at home a realistic option for many and that wasn’t always feasible before. It is a great learning tool on top of that.

Correct - a bitcoin miner (bitaxe) is trying to find blocks.
A node is listening to the networks transactions, relaying valid transactions and validating blocks.

Just in… our hobby mining with @npub1qtv…7dze was 7% more profitable than with Braiins over a 30 day period.
What is even more telling is that the Braiins mining was all pre-halving while the @npub1qtv…7dze mining was pre/post halving (and we suffered a mechanical failure during the halving 🤬).
Yes - TIDES payouts are more random than FPPS but I see no reason to switch back to Braiins - especially now that @npub1qtv…7dze has Bolt12 lightning payouts and we can choose our own template.

$625k home
20% down-payment
$500k mortgage
With a 6% interest rate and a 30-year term, you are paying $579,190.95 in interest.
The $625,000 house cost you $1,204,190.95.
This is equal to a $3,345 monthly rental payment, plus you pay for maintenance and repairs.
Houses cost so much because people can borrow money that's created with the press of a button to buy them.
If everyone had to pay in cash for their home, prices would drop significantly.
Most people think mortgages are designed to help them.
But NO.
Mortgages are designed to earn profits for banks.

Very highly recommend reading King Rat.
Plot: “King asks for the best of each man and rewards him accordingly, irrespective of class or position.”
King Rat is a 1962 debut novel by James Clavell.
Set during World War II, the novel describes the struggle for survival of American, Australian, British, Dutch and New Zealander prisoners of war in a Japanese camp in Singapore.
Clavell was a prisoner in the Changi Prison camp, where the novel is set.

The depopulation estimates were stunning…
Former CIA director James Woolsey testified before the U.S. Senate in 2015 that, if America’s electric grid were to go down for an extended period, such as one year, “there are essentially two estimates on how many people would die from hunger, from starvation, from lack of water, and from social disruption.
“One estimate is that within a year or so, two-thirds of the United States population would die,” Mr. Woolsey said. “The other estimate is that within a year or so, 90 percent of the U.S. population would die.”

“According to a 2021 Princeton Study, relying on wind and solar to achieve net zero by 2050 would require America’s high-voltage transmission network to triple in size, at a cost of $2.4 trillion.
In what appears to be a surrender, or at least a retreat, from the net-zero transition, some European countries, like Germany, are restarting their coal plants as wind and solar fail to meet demand, even at inflated prices.”

An open thank you to all bitcoiners.
I had to stop listening to a podcast from Hidden Forces today. It finally recognized it for what it was - the same doom and gloom it always has been… "The West is failing, government is failing, society is failing etc”. No answers, just more identification of the failure. Definitely not any solutions there.
I switched over to my list of bitcoin podcasts. More @npub1hrn…jsct , @npub1s05…eyhe , @npub1a2c…w83a and @npub1s5y…6q7z Pysh... and even @npub14mc…frlx - yes even Pedro. Why? Because there is a hope in bitcoin. Maybe that is partly because we seem to have turned the corner on the bear market but mostly because bitcoiners are optimistic, building and moving forward.
Devs are creating new apps and fixing and improving old ones. Bitcoin philosphers are, well philosophizing (looking at your @npub1mz7…tl8g , @npub1jdw…ujzl and Parker Lewis to name a few). Meetups are getting bigger and more people are taking their first steps into the bitcoin network. Meanwhile the Plebs are out educating and orange pilling every day.
Bitcoiners are hopeful and optimistic. We know there are problems - we’ve identified a host of them and we are working to fix what we can. Sure we might be bickering over what hardware wallet is truly FOSS, bitching about ordinals and debating mining protocols. But we are building and moving forward anyway.
Jeff Booth is right - there is no point in living in the old world. You simply feed it by engaging with it. Even listening to the old world is tiresome. I’ve moved into the new world, a world with Bitcoin and I don’t ever want to go back.

“Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony
I've been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit, pay
So I can sit out here, and waste my life away
Drag back home, and drown my troubles away
It's a damn shame
What the worlds gotten to
For people like me, and people like you
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Living in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control
Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
Cause the rich men north of Richmond
I wish politicians would look out for miners, and not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't nothing to eat
And the obese milking welfare
Well God if you're 5 foot 3 and 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground
Cause all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down
Lord, it's a damn shame
What the worlds gotten to
For people like me, and people like you
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Living in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control
Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
Cause the rich men north of Richmond
I've been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay

Listening to #cafebitcoin this AM and heard some discussion about https://www.zapplepay.com/
Smashed around it a bit and managed to get it hooked up to my getalby account and I’m back to zapping notes with Damus 🤙
FU Apple.

Peter St Onge podcast is pretty good. Not sure where he stands on bitcoin but he’s got some good takes on the economy.
In this Episode:
- Now they’re blaming workers for inflation
- Yellen selling out the American people in China and India
- Elites blaming overpopulation
- Megabanks strip-mining flyover country

Just watched Ben Arc and LNBits team obsolete Craigslist with Nostr Marketplace. Wow!
