They're trying to corner Bitcoin into store value while taking over the medium of exchange.
Who gives a f*** about storing value in Bitcoin if I can't spend whatever I want?

At a recent wine conference, I was talking to some friends who own a winery. I know they own a little Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptos, so I asked them what they thought about the dystopian future painted by one of the speakers.
The speaker, in his 60s, was pretty pessimistic. My friends blamed his outlook on generational theory. I asked if they’d read The Fourth Turning, and surprisingly, they had!
I told them how optimistic I was for the future—after a big crash, of course. I explained that to succeed through the hard times ahead, you only need to denominate your life in something scarce.
I was obviously referring to Bitcoin. But they took it to mean wine.
"It's great," they said. "Wine just goes up in value over time." When I brought up Bitcoin, they looked at me like I was crazy.
Sure, wine does go up in value over time. And if you age red wine for 2 years before selling it, you can definitely outperform Bitcoin's 44% CAGR. But here’s the problem: unless you’re an insanely sought-after producer, wine is losing value at an incredible rate in Bitcoin terms after that. Wine aging does not out-pace Bitcoin.
These next few years present a simple test that most will fail. What are you going to use as a denominator for your life's work. If your answer isn't Bitcoin, you'll lose.
Going to these wine conferences is frustrating. There are all these amazing winemakers running incredible businesses, yet they’re missing this one simple fact.
Meanwhile, I’m going to out compete all of them—not because I have more training, employees, or resources, but because I chose the right denominator.
Bitcoin is the key.

The big reason we all feel so comfortable here on NOSTR is simple: we’re with our people.
So many of the best Bitcoiners are here, and that alone is huge. But it’s not just that—because, at one point, we had that on Twitter too. There’s something extra about NOSTR, something that makes it feel different.
The secret sauce isn’t just the presence of the people who’ve dedicated their lives to Bitcoin. It’s the ones who got so fed up with legacy social media that they switched off everything and came here. To a new, emergent protocol that barely worked half the time.
Sure, NOSTR is a lot better now. But think about what it took to get here: figuring out this platform, using something no one else has ever heard of, dealing with its quirks. That’s a special kind of person.
It’s the same humility and curiosity we see in people who took the time to figure out Bitcoin. And when you add that to a protocol like this, it creates something unique. Something real.
I feel so comfortable here. I let loose, I’m myself—even though, ironically, you can’t delete anything here. But there’s a strange kind of freedom in that.
Among my people, it feels right.
NOSTR is Home. 💜

The NFL Salary Cap was ~$34 million when it was introduced in 1994. Today the Salary Cap is ~$260 million.
Has the NFL Salary Cap outpaced inflation?
If you use CPI to calculate the 2024 value of $34 million 1994 dollars, the answer is a MASSIVE YES.
According to CPI, $34 million in 1994 dollars is equivalent to $72 million.
According to the government, the NFL is a massive success, however...
If we use the M2 money supply growth as the proxy for inflation, things look different.
Using M2 as a proxy for inflation, $34 million 1994 dollars is equivalent to $205 BILLION.
Nearly 10x the current salary cap.
Neither of these measures is a perfect proxy for money supply growth (inflation). No one knows how many dollars exist and more can be "printed" at any time.
That said, NFL players likely make less than their 1994 counterparts.
They just seem richer because the "non-rich" have gotten poorer by comparison in the last 30 years.

To me, it’s becoming clear: the hub for Bitcoin discussion and community is shifting towards NOSTR.
There are still a ton of Bitcoiners on Twitter, and a lot of good information there, but the momentum and directionality are undeniable.
From what I understand, the Bitcoin community has always evolved its home base. It started on cypherpunk mailing lists, moved to Bitcoin Talk forums, then Reddit, then Twitter. Now it’s moving to NOSTR.
It would be crazy to think the right place for discussion and collaboration wouldn’t change over time. Blame Elon if you want for pushing Bitcoiners away from Twitter, but I think NOSTR was going to win regardless. A free, open, and customizable platform is just a better fit for this community.
What makes NOSTR special is the people—the super early adopters who’ve built something amazing here. Over the last two years, I’ve watched the growth in both the community and the quality of the experience. It’s been incredible to see.
Zaps have become the standard, and the momentum is clear.
The hub for Bitcoiners has always evolved, and now it’s NOSTR’s time.

Dry January is here, and with it comes a chance for many to reset their relationship with alcohol.
As a winemaker, you might think I’m here to discourage that. But I’m not. Let’s talk about balance, quality, and healthy drinking habits. 👇
Alcohol is a powerful tool. Used responsibly, it can elevate life: a great meal, a celebration, a moment of reflection.
Escape is fleeting, but enhancement lasts. Find YOUR balance.
Finding balance with alcohol isn’t just about how much you drink—it’s about how and why.
• Drink with intention, not out of habit.
• Pair it with good food and good people.
• Take breaks to reset and reflect on your habits.
Find YOUR balance.
The right wine isn’t just about the alcohol—it’s about the flavors, the experience, and the people you share it with. Balance starts with knowing what’s in your glass.
Not all wine is created equal.
The industry hides a lot—wine quality isn’t all about price, and ingredients aren’t listed on labels. It’s a wild world of excessive sulfites, artificial flavorings, and even dyes like MegaPurple.
Balance starts with knowing what’s in your glass.
You can taste quality, but you can also feel it.
A great, clean wine elevates the moment while drinking, and leaves you feeling good the next day.
If not having a hangover sounds too good to be true, don't trust me, try it for yourself.
If you’re rethinking your relationship with alcohol, I encourage you to focus on balance and quality. When you’re ready to drink again, make it special
I craft natural wines designed to elevate life’s best moments

Celebrating a Massive Year!
As we approach the end of 2024, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey we’ve shared, and I want to take a moment to thank you for being part of it. Our cellar is steadily emptying, and while that’s a bittersweet sight, it’s a clear sign of the incredible demand for our wines. With this, we can confidently invest in creating more and better wines deep into the future.
The 2021 vintage is nearly all gone. The 2021 Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon are on our Endangered Wine List and will soon be joined by the Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. If you’ve fallen in love with any of these wines, now’s the perfect time to secure your access to these rare, dwindling vintages by joining the Peony Lane Wine Club. Plus, our next shipment will arrive just in time for Valentine’s Day, making it the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love.
What's Coming in 2025
While watching our current inventory dwindle, I'm incredibly excited about what's aging in the barrels for 2025. The upcoming releases promise to showcase everything that makes our high-altitude terroir special.
- 2023 Estate Pinot Noir: During harvest, it was clear that this would be the best crop since I took over in 2019, but this wine has exceeded even my highest expectations. After careful aging, it’s showing incredible complexity, depth and quaffability already.
- 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon: It’s easy to see why our Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine from the 2021 vintage to sell out. Aged in French oak, this wine has developed exceptional structure and depth, making it a rare and highly sought-after bottle.
- 2022 Satoshi’s Reserve: Representing the pinnacle of our 2022 harvest, Satoshi’s Reserve is a limited release selected from the finest barrel of each vintage.
Bitcoin & Wine: A Perfect Pairing
As Bitcoin breaks through the $100k mark, I’ve been reflecting on how much the world of Bitcoin and natural wine have in common. Both are products of patience, authenticity, and an unwavering belief in doing things the right way. We’ve received countless photos of empty Peony Lane bottles next to Bitcoin price charts. It’s a special combination—and it fills me with pride to see our community celebrating these shared ideals through our wines.
Looking Ahead to 2025 and Beyond
With limited quantities of some of our most popular wines remaining, now is the time to act. Once these wines are gone, they’re gone. The 2021 vintage was particularly unique, as I worked with new growers to craft varieties like Syrah, Tempranillo, and Merlot—wines that I may never make. While I have Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Malbec aging for future releases, the 2021 vintage remains truly one-of-a-kind.
Join the Peony Lane Wine Club to secure access to these rare, limited wines before they’re gone for good.
Wishing You A Wonderful Holiday Season
As we head into the holiday season, I’m honored to see Peony Lane wines find their way to your celebrations, bringing joy to your gatherings with loved ones. There’s nothing quite like sharing a bottle of pure, natural wine with the people you love—especially during this special time of year.
Thank you again for your continued support. I look forward to sharing many more memorable moments and exceptional wines with you in the year ahead.
Cheers,
Ben Justman
