This was a joy to read. BTAS was super formative for me too, and I loved Batman Beyond. I just discovered Justice League with my kids (5-10) and we were blown away by the storytelling. Can’t wait to watch Unlimited, and will appreciate it very much with this perspective.
Imagine if we’d ever actually gotten the Batman Beyond movie that was greenlit with Michael Keaton.
All hail the Timmverse!

Think about how much lower-stress our parents’ world was, too. No cell phones, expensive healthcare plans, stress of post-911 World, GFC, COVID, etc. Their world and its associated problems were so much narrower. You could actually make it on one middle-class salary .
I have these same thoughts often and it’s difficult not to be resentful.

Totally. I always end up gaining the weight back when “just winging it”. Especially necessary if you’re training hard and trying to put on muscle, which I think is the other really effective way to reduce belly fat. But typically you have to cut the lion’s share of excess weight first, hard to do both at the same time.
I also found that overeating even in a single weekend meal (half a pizza, beers and some dessert, for example) really set me back.

Love the attitude. For me, nothing made a bigger difference than tracking macros and calories with an app and the precision of a food scale. It’s annoying but effective — and you’re already there mentally with what it requires.

Only counterpoint would be Mr 100 was buying before ERFs were approved. And to be recorded as zero outflows, purchases would have to be occurring through the ETF vehicle (which utilizes Coinbase)

I know this is hopium, but I completely agree. We’ve also been consolidating at $50k-$65k for like 6 months. Obviously price could break either way, but it feels like anything that spikes demand could make price run like crazy

I hate to ask…would you mind trying one more time? I think I’m set up now, but want to make sure. There’s an issue with Primal’s wallet on the iOS app, so I’m trying a workaround

2024-08-16 23:51:42

- reply

Yes, I just set up Alby given issues on the Primal wallet. I saw the options you referenced and set up Alby Hub on my desktop, opened a lightning channel and (I thought) set up and linked a wallet. Will keep tinkering with it - thanks for your help! From all the positive reviews, I thought it would be easier

In case still feeling generous, the wallet that works (not with Primal or Damus!) is philross17@vipsats.app

The irony! My Primal wallet has been on the fritz for the past few weeks. Been back and forth with support on it, and just started to get Alby up yesterday. I’m working on it!

Thanks, I’m familiar and this was the first thing I thought of when initially responding to you. I respect and appreciate Jeff but also think this is easier to do once you’re his age with the level of success (and assumedly, savings) he has. If you’re young and supporting a family, I think a middle ground approach (work fiat job while stacking BTC) is logical as the world slowly evolves.

What constitutes “walking”? I work in TradFi but I’m Nostr only and I stack every day for my family’s future. To go to any other job outside of Tradfi would be a 60%+ comp haircut and the stacking would go to zero. I’d encourage some additional perspective

US Economy grew at a 2.8% pace in the second quarter, according to the Commerce Dept. Despite using real GDP (i.e., net of inflation), this is fake news if you understand that the CPI as a true measure of inflation is completely divorced from reality for most Americans. The economy has been shrinking on a real basis, and it’s been this way for a while.

@npub1d3f…r4xv Larry, have enjoyed your content over the past few years. Not sure if you’ll be in Nashville next week, but if you are and will be looking to get a WOD in, I’m dropping into the 6:30am CrossFit Music City class on Friday. Would be fun to meet you there!

So I never expected to see transactions confirmed at 4 sats/vB. But here we are!
After I posted this, I listened to this weeks @npub10ut…xdlq and they mentioned the mempool.space accelerator function. I checked it out and while expensive, it would absolutely solve this conundrum

2024-07-11 16:17:23

So a few days ago, I was taking advantage of the low fee environment and decided to consolidate UTXOs in a couple of wallets. I initiated the transfer and chose a low-priority fee option. Didn’t realize it at the time, but it was only 4 sats / vB vs the going rate of 6 at the time. The transactions are still hung up obviously, and I can’t increase the fee because I backed into the highest possible amount / balance transfer net of the fee.
Is there anything I can do at this point? Just keep it out there and hope mempools clear one day?
Initiate another transfer at a higher fee and assume the first transaction probably never goes through?

Sell it all, crash the price. Glorious redistribution

2024-07-08 16:22:45

This dramatic price drop over Germany selling a fraction of its coins and the Mt. Gox FUD is interesting. Is there that much of the market trading this asset vs storing wealth? Where is the demand for Bitcoin to soak this up / i.e., why is the demand side so weak? Is this a reflection of general “jumpiness” and lack of conviction generally in the markets? Is it a reflection of low global liquidity? Miners selling to operate post-halving?
Just a few thoughts on the last week. Feels like a major move down might unlock more demand, but might be just as likely to scare it off, as well.

Looks incredible. My family used to make this with a sugar cookie under the icing

2024-07-05 14:02:45

I’ve been in Bitcoin for 4 years, and I’ve stacked a lot of coin under $30k. I’m grateful for that. But I’ve also bought a ton above $50k. I bet over half my stack.
Every time we’re pumping, I think that the suits have finally figured it out and I get nervous that I “don’t have enough.” But then somehow we always retrace like this.
They haven’t figured it out yet. They don’t know what they own. One day that will change, but it’s not today.
Just keep stacking

2024-07-05 13:52:53

It’s times like these that I’m reminded that no one knows what happens next with bitcoin. Previous cycles are relevant but it’s a super small sample size. On-chain info is helpful but limited since so much happens off chain. TA and trends are constantly invalidated. Stock-to-flow ignores the demand factor. Power law…IDK yet because its proponents have been too loud for me to dig in yet.
No one knows what happens next. Nothing is inevitable. Enjoy the ride.

If you’re into coffee, check out Counter Culture Coffee. They sell through retail (Whole Foods, Target) and supply coffee shops, but they offer one of the best DTC coffee subscriptions out there, offering unique single origins that rotate based on the freshest beans available at the time. Counter Culture has been around 20+ years and is one of the OG companies to source directly from farmers.
Most importantly, it’s really excellent coffee.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about constitutional amendments. With Congress unable to function and no one in federal govt willing to problem solve, this feels like the only way plebs (via states) might actually create real change in the current environment.
@npub1s9z…nszc , how realistic is this process? Maybe easier in this environment with social media enabling grass roots?
Feels like we could all agree on:
- term and age limits for politicians
- no insider trading
- federal spending capped at receipts / balanced budget
What else?

I totally get what you’re saying. Redistribution and resetting of cost basis is obviously very healthy for the market, and such a good reminder to get P2P Bitcoin this way.
And this tension on high/low price always gets me. I love seeing price 🚀 but also get sad when my daily DCA barely impacts my overall stack.
