This week's big read, fairly interesting perspective for the big-bucket categories of Bitcoiners

![](https://m.stacker.news/107995)


> Bitcoin’s culture includes four honest defaults that often talk past one another. Builders expand the surface area, market pragmatists prove everyday utility, monetary purists scale distribution and minimalists protect the base.

"Together. they create a productive tension that keeps Bitcoin useful and resilient for real people."
---

> After years of working in a circular economy and writing publicly about these debates, my view is simple. Bitcoin is money. Keep the base layer simple. Save in bitcoin on-chain. Spend in sats when it serves people, as it does in a circular economy. Support Lightning only when the exit to your own keys stays clear and simple. I do not support the “Bitcoin as Database” path, because turning Bitcoin into a general data host distracts from its monetary mission and invites waste, confusion, and reputational harm.

How safe do you feel in America?

Pretty safe. 

Not as safe as in most of my beloved Nordics, but reasonably OK. 

depends, as always, on specific locations and which wacky people are in immediate surroundings (homeless people, mentally ill)

Learning and Embracing Life With Less (VegOut)

Out here ridiculing the death of the treasury company phenomenon. Heavy of flowy words and metaphors: enjoy!

> Here’s a bold prediction: **In a year’s time, bitcoin treasury companies won’t be a thing.** Most of the lower-tiered ones won’t survive, and will instead spit out the coins they so gluttonously and recklessly gobbled up.


"At the tail end of paper bitcoin summer, we see reality reasserting itself, dramatically recovering from the collective delusion that market prices on the world’s most liquid markets could veer so far off mNAV course."

> The paper bitcoin summer has ended, and I for one couldn’t be more excited to see these nightmares go back to the ethereal dreamlands from whence they came.

And yes, Mr. Car, Bailey's financial misadventures are featured.

Ok, I wouldn't ordinarily share anything from VegOut or other such ridiculous outlets, but Google Discover threw this at me today and it resonated. I promise, **there's no vegan shit in this article.**

It's all just calm, stoic stuff about letting go of many material things

> The art of living with less isn’t about austerity. It’s about clarity. It’s choosing to remove the excess so you can focus on what matters—whether that’s a hike, a conversation, or a good night’s rest.

Here's the portion I liked the most because, I guess, I _do_ these things:
> **Create small rituals of enough**: Living with less shines in the small rituals: brewing your coffee slowly, writing in a journal at the end of the day, walking without headphones so you can hear the world again. These simple acts remind you that joy isn’t hidden in what’s next—it’s right here.

Those 15 minutes of coffee-making in the morning are precious, blissful, diiiiivine.
