There is no confusion. The only confusion it would bring about is no-coiners believing the supply increased and thus slow the process of adoptions.
You dont need to teach people that millimeters are different than meters or inches from miles.
It's such a non-issue idk why people are even talking about it. The decimal point is fine exactly where it is.

I think I'm going to start a YouTube channel for my photography. Basically like an ASMR type format where I strap a camera to my shoulder, walk through town and snap photos, maybe with some dialog explaining my thought process.
Bitcoin content is being suppressed on Twitter and it's probably the same situation on YouTube, and that's not to say I'm going to stop making bitcoin content, it'll keep coming every Monday as usual, but I think having a second channel for photography could be a fun side project.

I tried a longer exposure, too, and I think I like this better.
The lighting just wasn't on my side I don't think.

It's a solid classic, though honestly I love the gritty nature of delta 3200 despite my friends thinking I'm crazy for using it during the day

When I had gone thru Jackson WY, I stayed the night at a hotel in hopes of getting some sunrise photos of the Grand Tetons.
I woke up at 4am and departed at 430 and when light finally came, this is what I saw...
Complete and total overcast covering the peaks entirely.
But I tried to make the most of it by switching to black and white film and doing what I could with it.
Here's what's supposed to be an iconic view of the Tetons. More to come soon so be sure to check in.

I just found 2 rolls of Kodak Gold 200 that haven't got developed yet, LFG
Might go get those processed at the lab tomorrow but results won't be in til the end of next week at best most likely.

Huge photo dump from the rest of my Cali>SD trip up on my profile, pretty much all that's left of it.
Been fixing to do another ling trip some time soon but lately I've been more focused on stacking sats.
Maybe come spring I'll be in a better position for travel!

Salt flats, Utah (cont.) not sure what film stock this was, either Portra 400 or Kodak 400.
Pro tip for when you go to the Salt flats, especially if you plan to step in the water, don't bring shoes that you care about.

Why are people talking about Litecoin all of the sudden?
It couldn't even break its 2017 top in USD denomination, let alone its BTC denomination which is an UGLY chart if you haven't seen it already.
I thought we all silently agreed that it was dead?

A follow up to my previous post.
This is where I had camped out that night after my brush with death. This was taken just before the sun crept over the hills.

2025-01-16 03:13:41

***Story Time***
When I took this picture, it was the first morning during my road trip from California to South Dakota, but this wasn't where I intended on spending the night.
This was about 40 miles out of Elko Nevada, in the middle of nowhere, parked on the side of the road just off the highway. How I ended up here was a double blow out of my rear tires.
I was overtaking a semi doing about [[[the speed limit]]] and the moment I got ahead of him, both of my rear tires suddenly blew out.
I swerved all the way off into the shoulder, attempted to recover and swerved into the opposite shoulder.
My car was full of everything I owned, so I was heavy, and I knew if I hit the grass, it was game over. One last time I swerved back into the opposite shoulder and managed to get myself straight.
I pulled off at the next exit, saw the damage, and realizing I was in the middle of nowhere, I decided to camp out and get a tow in the morning, of course sleep didn't come easy after staring death in the face like that, but I managed to get a few hours.
Waking up to this view, I had to wonder if I was even still alive at that point and if I had died the night before.

Power went out in the whole city.
Stuck at work with nothing to do for another hour supposedly.
Free sats I guess at least.

Sioux Falls apartments captured on some expired film I snagged from a thrift store.
I don't know why but this picture always gives me the vibe of high school math book cover.
The colors on this film were quite nice tho, the primary colors really pop.

I enjoy this film stock, but I feel it is greatly over-hyped.
I don't understand why people love it, though. Its colors are a but more true to life, and I kinda like to lean towards film that show color differently.

And here's the CRT I get to watch it on.
A 1985 Quasar. It's actually the second one I ordered because the first one unfortunately got smashed to bits in the mail.
The second one I ordered, this one, shorted somewhere on the circuit board and nearly fried everything.
Lucky a friend of mine fixed it and in return I gave him the first one I ordered and he said he's going to 3d print a new case for it.
Such a unique little piece of history, it's good to see they will both continue to survive through all the torture they've gone through

I don't think I've shown this here yet, a BRAND NEW, still in plastic VHS copy of A Christmas Story i got to snag for 5 bucks.
This is my all time favorite Christmas movie, we used to have it on repeat at our grandma's house every year for Christmas.
And now finally I can continue that tradition with this. Streaming it just doesn't feel the same.

2025-01-15 01:25:33

I'm curious to see if anyone else is having similar issues to what I'm experiencing here in nostr.
On Primal, my feed won't load, nothing will load. (Only on mobile) However, I can still post regularly.
The other client i use for mobile is Plebstr, which loads my feed and everything just fine, but I can't post pictures.
So right now, I have to go on primal to make posts, and then go to plebster to actually see the post.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? When I un-installed primal, it fixed it but only temporarily.

2025-01-15 00:32:17

Another shot on the 800t film.
I think this is the only other one I might consider being in the "keeper" territory though honestly I'm not super pumped about the roll as a whole.
I have 1 more roll of 800t that I'll try exposing differently and hope that comes out better!

Nashville, captured on Cinestill 800T
This was my first time using this film, I'm thinking next time I'm going to expose it at 400 rather than 800 because I know it can look a lot better than this, but others have told me they liked this one so you be the judge.

This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken from my journey from California to South Dakota. Captured on what I believe was Kodak 400 on my Canon ae1 from somewhere in Wyoming. I'd love to come back here during the winter and maybe take a little denture to the Tetons as well.

I'll be turning this account into my personal account. I'm into photography and like to travel so that'll likely be the bulk of what I post here.
I'll continue to create Bitcoin content on youtube and twitter so if that's all you're interested, you can follow the link in my bio.
I cant see any benefit telling people who are obviously already Bitcoiners why Bitcoin is good. Like what's next, "Hey guys, water is pretty good for you, you should try it"

2025-01-12 01:22:31

To continue on my last post, what are we accomplishing if we use this platform to just talk about Bitcoin? We're all bitcoiners.
It's like one fish telling another how much water matters to them.
Like yeah no shit, we're all in the same boat here, it's a bit of a circlejerk at that point.
We're all on the same page as far as Bitcoin on this platform so why not talk about what else you do.
Talk about your other hobbies, interests, jobs, whatever. Use it as a personal account, so then when others outside of here and outside of the bitcoin ecosystem want to contact you, you can send them here, and Nostr can accumulate more normal people.
If Nostr remains a platform tailored to Bitcoiners, its not going to go anywhere and if anything, it'll make it ripe for social conditioning operations and psyops, but i'll leave my tin foil hat off for now.

2025-01-12 01:16:36

>>>Rant Warning<<<
Echo chambers get really tiresome after a while... I wish nostr wasnt advertised so much as a bitcoin platform. It likely won't go anywhere if it only appeals to bitcoiners.
sure, eventually the world will adopt bitcoin inevitably, but theres a huge difference between Bitcoiners, and people who hold bitcoin.
Right now, Nostr doesnt appeal much to anyone whos not a bitcoiner. I can't see it taking off even if it was made better than every other social media platform combined, unless these other platforms had some kind of catastrophic failure.
Sure it's easier to get monetized here since anyone can send and receive zaps, but theres no market here. The money is in YouTube, Twitter, Meta, etc.
My proposed solution? People on this platform need to express their identity OUTSIDE of bitcoin, and make this their main platform.
While I do wish to work more on producing Bitcoin related media, I think im going to use Nostr as my personal account, probably focusing more on my photography.
That way when people take interest in my photos, I can send them here. Theyll see how seamless it is to get started on here, and they wont even be thinking about the bitcoin aspect. They'll just see it as the platform that that one photographer uses.

look at the bitcoin vs gold chart. its still below the highs of last cycle. thats one strong indicator. another strong indicator is the fact that the big moves historically always come the year AFTER the halving. regardless, even if the top is already in, step on is to GET OFF ZERO, asap, then from there work out a DCA, either a weekly or monthly investment you can keep going and forget about, of course keeping extra cash on the side ready for a big dip to scoop.

Then why aren't they? I'd imagine any bitcoiner conscious of the distribution of computational power of mining pools are still bitcoiners. really the only thing within reason to do is spread awareness and tell people to point their nodes elsewhere.

New video coming up tomorrow where I talk about my predictions for not only this year but also the coming decades.
There is something which to me seems like a glaring issue that I've heard no one else talk about.
Gen Z and Millenials often blame Boomers for robbing us of our future and for us being priced out of owning a home.
How will future generations react to feeling priced out of bitcoin?
I will go into greater detail in the video tomorrow so look out for that.

A lot of folks on here will talk about echo chambers on the internet but the fact of the matter is that right now Nostr is a very tight echo chamber, at least for the time being but hopefully not for long.
With how it is now, though, i can't see many others having any appeal for a platform like this. It's much easier to use Twitter, all their friends are there, and it does everything they need it to do.
At this point in time, Nostr offers nothing that the average everyday person needs or even wants for a social media platform and hopefully that can change soon.
No matter how much Youtube/twitter/twitch/whatever restricts speech and pushes ads, people will continue to use it because that's where all the money is and that's where their favorite content creators are.
