People who think they’re “too late to bitcoin” have it backwards. The higher bitcoin goes, the more important it is that you have some

2025-05-14 12:50:26 UTC

Every cycle, there’s some craze that makes people forget “stay humble, stack sats” and ultimately lose money. There will always be some justification about why these fancy schemes are better than buying bitcoin (boring). But in the end, the best strategy for the vast majority of people always turns out to be “stay humble, stack sats”

This book is awesome. It’s about the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, which was a nonstop, single-handed, round-the-world yacht race in 1968-1969
Very fun read if you’re into adventure/exploration stories. I knew nothing about sailing before reading it

I'm sure someone is doing this already but contractors need to get orange-pilled:
1) Rare cash-heavy business for large transactions. ~1000x of the "buy a coffee with Lightning" use case
2) Trade on reputation (Nostr could be useful)
3) They rely on tools like Zelle, Venmo, etc for digital payments today
Is someone building for this audience?

It is actually insane that the global financial world sits around waiting for CPI data, which is a fake inflation number, to figure out whether a group of suits will raise or lower the price of borrowing money

What’s stopping every ATM in the world from being a bitcoin ATM? Seems like an easy way to generate more fees for retail banks

2025-02-04 20:28:13 UTC

It’s shocking to me how few intelligent people know anything about bitcoin. Not to mention the average person. Biggest sign that we’re still early.
Either that or we’re the crazy ones. Probably both 🙃

Appreciate the message you shared here @npub1sg6…f63m. We as a community really need to internalize the design-focused message you shared in this episode with @npub1qny…95gx. I’m also going to start posting more of the content I want to see on Nostr

Great conversation. Jack’s design lens on bitcoin and services around it (Nostr, etc) is super important and something we have a lot of room for improvement on. Also, great call to action to post the type of content you want to see!

Over 6 years ago, I wrote a book that helps founders understand and sell to large companies. Still get messages about it years later, like this one yesterday on LinkedIn
Definitely a niche book but glad it still helps people

Shoutout to @npub1sg6…f63m 🫡. It’s so bullish that Jack is using and supporting Nostr. One of the godfathers of social media is participating in the open, uncensorable version of the system he pioneered
The equivalent would be someone like Jamie Dimon paying for his coffee with Lightning

One thing that makes me optimistic about health in the US is people waking up to the reality of the medical system is a one way street. People every day go from mainstream medical advice to focusing on diet, exercise, and sun.
No one goes in the other direction. This is bullish

I’ve been a Twitter user for over 10 years, made some great friendships and did a lot of business through it. But no matter what Musk does with the platform, at the end of the day it’s still a for profit platform that is incentivized for engagement/clicks over substance
