Happy to help… would you like some general rules of the road to start?
Think of a UTXO as bill that you are saving to spend in the future… you are going to want some small bills for small things, and some bigger bills for bigger things. Bills for groceries for the month, and bills for a car or a house one day (it will grow to include more value)…
1. If you are just starting to stack and have put in less than $1000, you will want to target consolidating your stack into at least 0.01 btc UTXO or greater… imho a target smallest UTXO to be able to use in the future will be between 0.01 & 0.02 btc
2. Once you have a 0.01 btc UTXO you can start to work on a 0.02… then a 0.04… keep doubling your UTXOs as you stack so that you have a useful spread of value to spend one day…
3. If you have a significant stack and you are wondering how to spread it, my suggestion below will help you extrapolate to any amount you have…
Ex. You have 1 btc, how to spread the UTXOs? In the below example, your value is spread out so that you can spend an appropriate (as close to exact amount as possible) without leaking your full balance or value of your stack to the receiving party…
1 x 0.5 ($33K)
1 x 0.25 ($16.5K)
2 x 0.1 ($6.5K)
1 x 0.05 ($3.25K)
The idea is that as your stack grow in value, you will want smaller UTXOs to spend for things you will need… and you will want the bigger UTXOs to make large changes in lifestyle / lifestyle quality of life or for passing on to your children one day
I hope this helps 🙏🏼 if you have further questions let me know

All that effort was worth it to watch people connecting, making new friends, asking questions and getting answers…
watching local business owners tell the crowd about their biz, educating and helping adress concerns about self custody…
We are winning… bitcoin is restoring #hope and providing #purpose every day to plebs all around the world 🌎

Inspired by @npub1qny…95gx & @npub1guh…6hjy I joined forces with @npub1tp6…5hhr here in Paraguay to organize a monthly Bitcoin meetup…
Tonight is Meetup #3… high hopes for tonight🚀 we had 80-90 people show up to last month’s meetup, which was overwhelming but we managed…
The local brewery hosting us is accepting bitcoin for the first time tonight… 🍻
Cole / Southern Bitcoiner @npub1u8u…qgum

we have a local Spanish & Portuguese language round table for Bitcoin basics… 🇵🇾 🇧🇷
Tonight we are sponsored by Blink Wallet and used the funds they provided to make materials to distribute to our pleb army & launch our efforts to onboard local businesses here in Asuncion as well as give the plebs some stickers… 🫡
Just finished cutting stickers by hand and rushing to get everything ready… got that nervous energy going every time I get in front of the #plebs 🚀🚀🚀

Of all the places I have traveled, one place that inspired and awed me was the Temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia…
When I visited, it was early morning… there was a fine mist in the air, hanging mystery and magic heavily over the ruins like a garment perfectly suited for its wearer…
I walked around in stunned silence, taking in the incredible talent, skill, and artistry that these incredible humans invested into building this wonder…
Around mid-day, I took a break under a tree to watch a local man sketch in his notepad… we didn’t speak each other’s language, but we had a fun little sign & body language exchange where we both communicated what a beautiful day it was and how incredible the temple looked in the morning
I mimed wanting to see his sketches, and he showed me some of his drawings… He was talented, sketching with a fine-tip basic black pen and nothing else…
I mimed my admiration for his drawings, and he didn’t even hesitate to choose the one I had stopped a bit longer to admire, and offered it to me… I tried to give him some money in exchange, but he refused… so I went and bought us lunch, and brought it back so we could eat together…
We mimed about our families and lives for a while, eating our food, and when I finally stood and shook his hand to say goodbye, he made me wait, and took out another drawing and gave it to me…
I knew he didn’t want me to offer him money again… this was a gift, and doing so would ruin the brief friendship we had just formed…
I can still recall that moment with crystal clear perfection… the feeling of the heat and humidity, the warmth on my left shoulder where the sun had broken through the canopy…
I can still see his wide, crooked smile, weathered skin, green gym shorts and faded tan threadbare shirt…
I was honored and humbled by the gift
I saved those drawings for the past 15 years, tucked away in storage while I continued to travel and work all over the world… and recently, finally, I had them framed…
After over 20 years of traveling, I finally have a home base, and look forward to seeing this art every day… reminding me of the beauty in the world and the kindness of strangers

GM 🫡 as someone who has had dual hip resurfacings, I can perhaps help with some advice. Most of the time our joints ache due to a lack of synovial fluid and articulation through the full range of motion. I would recommend the KinStretch by Beard program to help you learn to do proper joint mobility exercises… this type of mobility training saved me after a decade of pain and related injures from the surgeries 🙏🏼🙌🏼 I also use Grounding sheets in order to reduce inflammation and help my body to recover from training… might sound like a scam but the data is solid and it’s worked wonders for me

A gentle reminder: As parents become older, seemingly simple things are more difficult for them to accomplish and they are more likely to be frustrated or to be upset more easily than they would have been preciously.
Take time to look around their house for things left undone, it will clue you in to what is difficult for them. Perhaps there is more clutter near the floor because it’s hard for them to bend over and they need some mobility work and stretching to be able to make those things easier. Perhaps objects overhead are hard to reach so the cupboards are dusty from misuse, or you will find things organized differently because they cannot put them back easily…
Take the time to look over their space with a critical eye, and see where you can help, and if there is a root cause you can help the work on…
For almost every challenge there is a solution rooted in mobility. I recommend KinStretch with Beard (funny name but honestly fantastic material) to help your aging parents regain mobility and function and help to preserve their joints and independence

What dip? 😆 I never look anymore, it’s not worth it to check the price more than once every 3-4 months

For now I am not publishing anything… still finding my style and producing content without any expectations or desire to share the majority of it… but it’s a goal for this next year to begin publishing under a ghost name

Only 2…
but I went all-in
with my entire life savings
I sold everything I owned
I put in every paycheck
I lived humble, on less than 20% of my income
