Last Notes npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I've been working hard on a new business for a year. Been working 7 days a week for months. Got my first two sales today and it's a relief. Some random thoughts before I head to bed. - I'm a good coach in my domain, enough to make a living in the domain. But without my business coach I'd be screwed. Having a set of eyes on what you're doing is so important. He's the best - honest, but very tactful with is feedback, which makes it easy to take. I get credit for taking almost all of it because he's the coach and I'm coachable. We're now friends outside of the working relationship and that's neat too. - The 4% Stripe is taking pisses me off. I'm used to having to pay just over 2.6% in transaction fees, but for this, it's 4%. - I've riden my bike - very slow - most days this month. Consistency in that area has been so great to sustain the effort. - I work in Codex and Claude Code every day. And there still is so much to learn with what they do well and what they do poorly, and how you have to be strategic about how you use them in tandem. - Codex browser control and computer control is still vodoo. Excited to listen to the @nprofile…wmw0 podcast with Matt Hill in the coming days. Might need to drive to get the dog some special bones to celebrate and listen on the way. I have no idea what the bitcoin prices have been the past week, which is a good thing for me. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank YOU for all of your posts. I hope you had a great holiday. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks! 😀 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Brilliant! I assume green chili? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀 ☕ 👊 I love getting Seth Godin's emails each morning. This is a good prompt for me to have a hard-ish conversation after this weekend. "It’s difficult to ride a bicycle in the pitch darkness. We need to see where we’re going to avoid obstacles. And it’s hard to maintain our balance. When we choose to avoid the conversations that make us uncomfortable, we’re pedaling in the dark. Talk about it. Turn on the lights." Have a great day! https://seths.blog/2026/07/left-unsaid/ npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Love this… npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Glad to hear everyone is doing well. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 This is awesome. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate this. 🙏🏻👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 So nice of you to share this. I see your kettlebells in your photos. #proofofwatts is my new favorite hastag. I just ride my bike - I need to add the list of things you mentioned, which I've done most of at times. And I do know how to listen to my body - I just got out of the habit of daily exercise and now have a 'fat suit" to shed. I ran a lot in my 20s and early 30s - I've got a bit over 30k miles on the body - and had to learn the "listen to your body or else" lesson once my kids were born. Finally, while they seem unrelated, 15 min of meditation in the a.m. is crucial to be my best self. It's easy to say I don't have time for that. Take care. 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I keep hearing about it, and I wrongly assumed it was a bit of hype. I'll get some! Thanks for the encouragement and for taking the time to send the photo. 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Working out in your 50s is humbling. AND, I’m grateful to have a functioning body that can put in a bit of work. But the tricky thing is I can’t train very hard if I want to be able to train the next day. My metric for success is simple: if my face is sweating it counts. Gone are the days - for now - where I can enjoy trail runs like @nprofile…akam in the Rocky Mountains ⛰️ But the hope is to be back on the mtn bike for some easy rides by the fall. Drip by drip. #pow #bikestr npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 #nevent1q…kul5 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Hey @nprofile…etsy team. I use Claude Code and Codex daily. I'm comfortable in the terminal with both. But what I want to do now is connect the GLM 5.2 Private model to either the terminal or perhaps use it in VS Code. Simple put, if I want private model experiences like the ones I have in Claude Code and Codex how can I use your API. Thanks! #ai #claudecode #codex npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 https://proton.me/ npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 This note makes me smile.

I have @nprofile…06f3 running the latest @nprofile…v9a4 and I want to support BIP110, but I want the wording to be correct. Is this accurate? - My node can support/enforce BIP110. - Miners are the ones who actually signal BIP110 in blocks. - If I add DATUM and point hashpower at it, then I can say I’m mining/signaling BIP110 and more importantly, move the needle a bit. What am I missing? And sorry if all of this is obvious. Thanks in advance for your help. #asknostr #DATUM #BIP110 @nprofile…fd7j @nprofile…as42 @nprofile…hmmc @nprofile…00ln @nprofile…s4nh @nprofile…yc8n npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Stacked yesterday.

Then point Braiins at it. Build blocks on OCEAN." If you're curious about renting hash, check out this guide.

I hope things are good in Kenya this morning. 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank you! 🙏🏻👊 Looking forward to photos of your adventures this summer. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank you! 🙏🏻👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 100%. And if that was the case my comment wouldn’t matter at all/as much. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I meant to say @nprofile…as42 and @nprofile…yc8n . #nevent1q…t2d9 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Has anyone done the rented hash with Braiins that @nprofile…z2zr and @nprofile…yc8n have talked about? At the risk of sounding dumb, how do you support bip-110 when you do this? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Wispr Flow is amazing. The fact that I can dictate emails that are thorough and thoughtful, but also get through a lot of customer emails, is such a gift. I know there are some free one that are likely good too. https://wisprflow.ai #ai npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Two wishes... I wish bitcoin core had lots of parents working on the project. I wish more women were in bitcoin and on Nostr. It's hard to argue that bitcoin wouldn't benefit from both. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Love this idea. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I need to relax more this summer and listen to more music. Tonight on the porch with the dog. 😀 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 What an awesome picture this paints. Bacon and Sam! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I hope it gets cleared up soon. I hate snakes - I don’t know that came out in the rain down there. They come out when it’s hot up here. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Couldn’t agree more. I think if my favorite npubs posted a photo I’d be shocked by how young they are. Also, lots of Gen X are lazy about to get destroyed by AI. It’s going to be really ugly. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Great advice. And made me think of my grandpa ☺️ I got a lot of little bibles from him. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank YOU for making me think today. 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Keep up the good work brother. I'll be thinking about my spending choices this summer after hearing what you're doing. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 WOW! How much is lunch in Kenya? A good one? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 I have more SATs now than I had when I woke up and meditated this morning. #bitcion npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Here's two bright spots tonight in our little world of bitcoin... Bennet.org 's site is so, so good. My guess is it's the site we'll all send people to when they get coins off an exchange and into a wallet. Not overly technical, but also assumes you want to understand how bitcoin works. I don't think anyone has thread that needle as well as this guy. https://bennet.org/learn/what-is-bitcoin/ I only found @nprofile…3tty 's site last night, but wow, I've had to recalibrate what a smart person working with a Hermes agent can do. Even if you don't like the project, check out the design consistency. That alone is worth a tour of the site. https://ff2k.us/ So what is that project? From this article... https://medium.com/@FF2K/signal-is-the-product-why-i-built-ff2k-us-d70be43aed4f "FF2K is a place to publish signal without asking whether the signal serves a platform’s business model. It is a place to test voice, satire, argument, and independent distribution without begging existing systems to bless the attempt. Its point of view is simple: dependence is dangerous, permission is fragile, and a society that outsources its information rails should not be shocked when those rails start serving someone else’s interests." Two more gems... "I do not trust systems that depend on humans acting against their incentives for long periods of time. That is not cynicism. It is engineering. If a bridge only works when every person crossing it is honest, calm, and selfless, you do not have a bridge. You have a prayer with bolts in it." https://ff2k.us/#archive #PoW #ai npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 Lots of inspiring artists here on Nostr. I paid in sats for this photo from @nprofile…amkl and finally got it framed. Check out his photos - they’re exceptional.

Sats for all useful security tips for a newer pleb like me, with the idea that this might be a useful note for us all. Also, are we using silent payments in Sparrow Wallet? Why or why not? #nevent1q…rkf3 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 That’s wild! Wow!

A couple of weeks ago I told a friend who has a bit of bitcoin that the bottom might be in. He thought not. We’ll see. Have a great day! #coffeechain #bitcoin npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 May the fourth be with you. https://blossom.primal.net/ab22d1aa471ecb034627c7dbb02011bda687f0c0656ada328fe88b7adf31b5d3.gif npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀👊☕️ Got a new board for the kids and for me to do little chopping jobs from @nprofile…g76y Matches the big board I got from him a while ago.

Sometimes that’s 10 min in sometimes it’s 25 min in. All rides are 30+ min but no rides have been over 50 min. Average over 21 days is probably 37? 38? Not 40. But also higher than 35. Some observations… - Heart rate at roughly 118 beats per minute is my happy place. While my ego hates this fact, above that for just 30-40 min and I’m tired later. - I’m hungry a hour after the ride and eat more than I should. - As long as my face is sweating I shouldn’t care if I’m in zone 1 vs the magical zone 2 everyone talks about. - When you’re squarely in middle age, as I am, I think there is a ton of benefit to being at 112-118 beats per minute. - The HR monitor on my nice-ish watch is a joke - I only trust the chest strap. - No need to bump up the volume of training until 35 min at 118 is effortless… …and… - I need to get in some longer rides every 7-10 days so I can be ready for a nice 90-120 mtn bike ride come June. But that’s can wait 3-5 weeks. Feb and early March are about consistency. 9 / #28days #bikestr #exercise #fitness #consistency npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Claude Cowork did some work for me last week that would have taken my VA an hour or so. Now I’m creating a data scraping tool in Claude code - that scraps public data - and while I’m running lots of issues and need the rest of the week to finish it, it’s going to save me 5 figures between US and oversees VAs. And I’m not that technical. I was obsessed with Claude from last Saturday through this Friday, but got spooked when I was getting spam on Telegram from people trying to contact the bot. I’m heading to the computer store now to get a raspberry Pi to run it on. Probably not foolproof proof but better than what I had before on a Mac. The tricky part is I don’t want to set it up on Signal because I found out that if you set it up that way, it can see all your other chats - obviously that’s a non-starter. So I’m going to try and connect it with matrix/element but I’ve run into a ton of problems with that’s. Less exciting but scary: I was relying on it and talking to a day and night and I felt much less productive without the last 72 hours with it. Pretty crazy. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Stayed up until 1:30 am to work with this. I’m typically in bed by 9:30 pm. I work with AI tools for hours a day. Calwdbot is unbelievable. It’s not hype. I did have a ton of useful .md files in Claude to train it, but still, it’s so impressive. #clawdbot #ai #wildtimes #nevent1q…gjty npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Installing #clawdbot npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I just found your note because I’m going to install claws bot on a dedicated computer and wanted to see what nostr knew about it.

I’ll reach out if/when I have questions. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Wow! That is such a fantastic resource. I’ll read it again tomorrow. Did you write that in just a handful of days? It’s clear, detailed, and so well organized. Thanks so much. 🙏🏻👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I had a cool #nostr moment today. I DM’ed @nprofile…kf7f and suggested they have their copy button/icon at the end of the output rather than the top. They did it! Thanks! 🙏🏻👊 Also, it’s shocking how inexpensive it is to use. Exceptional value. #ai #nostr #worththesats npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Here's my experience in the last two months re: merchant adoption with merchants who use Square POS terminals. 1. Favorite coffee shop that I buy beans from: I think I'll be able to get them to turn it on. 🤞 2. Second favorite bean place: Barista went off on Jack Dorsey. Enthusiastically. 3. Another coffee shop: "No. I don't even know anyone who has bitcoin." 4. Coffee shop I've never been to, but I found on @nprofile…jemv I've been there four times. The owner turned it on, and the baristas seem to resent it. Or maybe they just resent middle age me. Probably more the later. Regardless, zero reason to go back and spend my sats at that place when I'm not cool enough for them to serve. 5. Found a place on @nprofile…jemv that sells cookies...cookies with names that I can't repeat to my teenagers. I get that it's their thing, but the cookies we're worth it. The transaction was hard because they don't have a storefront and they texted the QR code Square gave them. We figured it out on the street, but it was obvious they got an email from Square and turned it on hoping they'd get more business. I guess they did get one more sale. I just found a small meat store on @nprofile…jemv that accepts it, but it's 30 min away. That's not worth the trip regularly, but I should be in that part of the city in April so I'll swing by to support him. The flip side is I picked up several packages from my po box today from people here on nostr that I paid in sats for the goods. And I bought a 1/4 cow with sats. I use @nprofile…uh5t and @nprofile…etsy daily and paid with sats. Tonight I'll use my cutting board from @nprofile…cjvy and smile thinking about his proof of work. Also, there are more KYC issues with the Square roll out than I thought of - thanks @nprofile…hmmc and @nprofile…s7ry for pointing these out - so I'd much rather send sats to someone with a wallet or a @nprofile…xhfg setup. Long story short, I'm not the person to try to orange-pill merchants. But to be clear, if others in my city can onboard people - within reasonably driving distance - I'll happily support them. #nevent1q…ecav npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank @nprofile…9vun and the @nprofile…s7ns crew for allowing a pleb like me to use the Kimi model daily. It’s very good and will come up with angles Claude and ChatGPT don’t. And obviously I can have private chat with it. Well worth the sats. #v4v #ai #nevent1q…gz08 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀👊☕️ Dealing with some foot pain - bunion that hurts because I’m dehydrated, and because my cycling shoes are irritating it - but given all that’s going on in the world, feeling fortunate to be alive. And we got a new board game the kids are fired up to play. I’ll likely get my butt kicked. 😂 Have a great day! #coffeechain #plebchain npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀👊☕️ npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I DM’ed with my info 😉 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Is this still available? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I have many of the same questions as @nprofile…mau6 I’d love to hear what you have to say.

I have a privacy phone with @nprofile…xdyf installed arriving this week. Also, make sure to have a #penstr note now and then. I’ll go first: Everyday I use this pen to make note of four areas in a small notebook: - Black - weight - Blue - spiritual related - Red - exercise - Green - deep work hours and revue to date Not enough blue last year. A nice amount of red in December. Black needs work. Green was good for hours and I just need to change where those hours go. The tips are much finer on this compared to the OG pen we grew up with. https://blossom.primal.net/2d681eb7b224297be6a299757b727b1ecb5910cee7c9f7f8c9405d008aad596b.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/58ca04393944c4bbd763a8534d340b6c7af806441f421ef0ce046fa89f481e52.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/9df76a0d4f18a5f307065c7069b1dad691739791efe8bbce446c0b966b327c85.jpg npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks for sharing. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 😀👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀👊☕️ Excited to wrap up work the next 48 hours and then relax with the family. It’s Dec 22 in Colorado and I’m in shorts. Great weather for track practice but really bad for the state as a whole. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀👊☕️ It’s been a hectic last two days, but today should be less busy and less stressful. And I should be able to get in a much needed workout. Here’s a photo from yesterday morning. Have a great day! #coffeechain #plebchain https://blossom.primal.net/590011c13e9684ff7edb0242b16416348e4ee18fef24cb34a97c1f5f0eabd248.jpg npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I posted my first note in September. Still fairly #newtonostr https://blossom.primal.net/87e3a0f59d8f5d95d90b9821efadcad1b79d92503d1a50f1b5a2da11d5e593ad.mov #nevent1q…2kum npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Sounds good!

It’s not chic, and Arvada isn’t a cool kid area like downtown Denver is, but that place is great. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 The top right corner is awesome. You strike me as a no garnish type of guy. Unless of course it’s a lemon peal in a Sazerac. And I’m not sure that’s a garnish as much as an element. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 This might be a dumb question, but does anyone know why @nprofile…0rnh is finding so few blocks in the past couple of week. I track this with @nprofile…rpxf and check it 1-2 times a day. It’s fun. There have been times when it’s been as many as 4 or 5 in 24 hours. For the last two weeks it’s 1-2 in 24 hours. I’m setting up a new home Canaan heater from @nprofile…7cf4 tomorrow. I want to support @nprofile…0rnh, but this seems like a problem. I don’t know how to build my own block template, FYI, but I can talk to someone who can likely help me. #asknostr #mining #knots https://blossom.primal.net/b53a974d3b4471df8c46bc94f7ea92bee609f30d13a55e132a498155905a6991.jpg npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 This may not be your style, but Kind Of Blue is classic. I’ve listened to it in all the phases of life - college, early career before kids, listened to it before bed when the kids were tiny, listened to it before bed when they were in elementary school, etc. This would be a good question for your followers. 😀 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Looks fantastic to me. Keep up the good work! 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Great day, but I’m tired - and so is the dog 😂 No #30days I got in 13,900 steps.

I know it’s a ton of work to maintain, but I like to work. A September carrot or eggs to make pasta. When I see what these people are up to I can’t help but think they’re living right and my life is a bit off. When we’re empty nesters and I’d love to move.

It down’s make sense to me why they wouldn’t benefit them. There is a decent amount of chatter that the price action is Core 30 related. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 On the stationary bike, talking to Claude AI. Dog at my feet. Life is good… If you own Bitcoin. The flip side is I’m worried for my generation - Gen X - who hasn’t paid attention to real inflation. Not 3% that’s on the news but the 6-7-8% (or more?) that makes it too expensive to eat out with your family. So I’m talking to Claude about how much BTC you need, assuming the power curve/power law holds, to retire at 65. I’m happy working longer, and, I know biology is undefeated, so 65 yr old me likey can’t work as much. It’s not a huge amount of bitcoin to change a friend’s retirement, but the longer they wait the more they have to get. Claude thinks 200k is a magic level where interest in bitcoin will swell. Obviously I’m preaching to the choir here, but running the numbers it’s (obviously) going to be harder to get .3 in 3 years than it is to get .3 today, let alone in 2030. Finally, Google Search Trends over the past five years for bitcoin, gold, and silver: Minus a bump after Trump’s election bitcoin searches are down. Gold and silver up over the same time, and with an inflection point the last few months for those two, and a stepper dive down for Bitcoin searches. Back to sunrise photos 😀 #bitcoin #powerlaw #powercurve npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 “It doesn’t look like much…” 😂 Are you kidding? This looks amazing! The tenderloin is perfect. 👌🏻 It’s so impressive that it’s all from your hands/garden. How was the appetizer prepared? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀👊☕️ ✅ Walked and played fetch with the he dog ✅ 21 min mediation ✅ (brief) Cold shower ✅ Fancy coffee Lots to do today. I read what @nprofile…gcdx has on tap today and it reminded me that people on nostr do meaningful work on Saturday. I don’t see that “on the outside” as much. During meditation I had the realization that a HODLer is a unique breed of human and that on nostr everyone I’ve bumped into is one. #GM #coffeechain https://blossom.primal.net/e66932c44aefcf93ee330bd5da7b9d3ccd812f579f47f58712a0fbe34b88f756.mov npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks @nprofile…x095 for letting me buy these with sats. I sell books from a fulfillment center as well and the integration you did to pull this off is great - some serious #proofofwork. 👊 The Mary Oliver book is for my high schooler, and the other two are for me. #zapsnag #wortheverysat #valueforvalue https://blossom.primal.net/eadf9cb7e2947f31faa2978d2e481dcecbb8622ed5f2479d89e8e626c41e9be7.jpg npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm …and what a stunning one. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Tomorrow will be day 7 on #nostr 😀 If I’m honest, it’s been a time suck, but it’s also been a good relief from Twitter. The blend of art and food, privacy and more nuanced core/knots discussion, has been awesome. I’d like to write some thoughts on week 1 tomorrow. Should I do a series of notes or should I write a long form post? Thanks in advance for the help. #asknostr npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 And so it begins… #bitaxe #mining https://blossom.primal.net/ceff914102909121e53c1a2ecd4265d0c8aaea182c236cc60934127b8ea846ad.jpg npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I was at a cross country meet on the front range two weeks ago. Looked up and saw the Lake County tent and thought “how awesome that those coaches took those kids to the meet.” I can’t imagine what the drives are like in the winter for whatever league all of those school are in. My dad coached at Ft Fort Carson in the 1960s and Lake County was in their league.
