I suggested to a friend of mine who was laid off that he start coding for bounties on open source projects. He replied, "it's been 20 years since I've programmed. I've been a manager." I don't understand this thinking.

I have wondered if the COVID panic and subsequent awareness of BTC actually drove the BTC higher than it would have gone otherwise. Perhaps people had more time to look into Bitcoin. Perhaps realizing that we have been gas-lit for decades. Just wondering, that's all.

I agree (partially). The Bible states that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The government love of money and control is the root of MMT and it certainly is evil.
Here's the full verse: For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
And grief for many is what is coming, sadly.

If you DCA your bitcoin directly to cold storage, you may want to consider consolidating UTXOs while fees are low. Here is a good demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krrUQGMKhPo

Good write-up. In addition to what you say here, more attention needs to be paid to UTXO fees. Multiple small UTXOs can result in a high percentage of the UTXO's value being consumed by the fees.

#nevent1q…69er
This note from @nprofile…mld5 (comment from @nprofile…c4e8 ) inspired me to tell a portion of my business story. The Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D (developer model) was introduced in 1999 as a Linux handheld with Qtopia GUI. My cousin and I both bought one and joined the Sharp developer challenge. In our category of device drivers (CompactFlash cellular connection and barcode scanner), we won the challenge and Sharp eventually asked us to provide their developer support service in the US. This launched SDG Systems as a side business.
In 2004, Sharp released the SL-6000 targeted to business customers. In many ways, it was a device ahead of its time. Sharp did not have enough volume to justify staying in the US market. In late 2004, they told their existing customers, "If you want to continue with Linux mobile devices, work with SDG Systems." One of those companies, 10East, started us on a journey of porting Linux to the TDS (now Trimble) Recon and several other devices. SDG became my full-time occupation.
In 2009, when Google released the open source version of Android, we ported it to the Trimble Nomad which was, to our knowledge, the first port of Android to a rugged handheld device. I think my preoccupation with the mobile revolution made me ignore #Bitcoin in the early days, but that's another story.
While we no longer port Linux or Android, but pivoted to being a SaaS and software consulting company, SDG Systems has been a great journey for me, and I thank God for his provision for all of these years.

SimpleX is something that I thought about years ago. One use case is for temporary group chats. E.g. you go with some friends to an event, so you set up a temporary group. In addition to using QR Codes, you could use device NFC with a tap-to-join approach. Some good B2B possibilities, too.

It’s interesting to contemplate the impact of higher base-layer fees on the Lightning Network. It definitely pushes on the small nodes to not open channels (the fees are paid by the one who opens the channel).
