It's in the post linked above... Second half was great, fist half was just low-level econ illiteracy and nominal/real mistakes

craycray

Actually took some stackers advice -- and paid for the No More Inflation documentary in sats (#811381).

Didn't exactly like it, etc., but at least i got a nice discount for using sats

I don't think so. And chess is practice/improvement/trying to be better etc

Define wasting.

SN + playing chess seem to eat a number of hours each day. But wasted? Dunna thiiink so

That's what I thought, too!

Yes.

Me likely game, me want sweet sats

Very important job, someone's gotta do it

A kid can dream, eh

...and nobody ever heard from him again.

Awesome question, sir.

I def hit your last two criteria: info, spreading, educating. I've worked diligently in getting bitcoin into my non-Bitcoin publications. Basically everything I wrote this year had a bitcoin angle to it https://authory.com/JoakimBook

Oh, and this just dropped so I guess I can officially say I'm working on Nik Bhatia's new book https://x.com/timevalueofbtc/status/1869937678114042065

Go for it, dude.

I can't believe I'm saying this -- given that my standard trope these days is "The most important think I learnt at Oxford is that you can have a PhD and still be an idiot -- but yeah, your situation is an awesome one. Unique/unusual and not at all generalizable to *university" for the broader public

Great choices, lol.

Not entirely suitable to OP's situation, given that he mostly want his degree for vanity reasons -- and is in a good professional position to do that

Yeah, I'm from a place that outright bans it -- and live in one where it is more or less unheard of though not expressly illegal. It's unbelievable, and definitely adds to this ideological misstep where the gov is staffed with benevolent central planners who want what's best for you.

And P.S., damn, I want that community of yours

Yeah, precisely. Kids know when you're hiding things from them, or outright lying.

So just simple, no big deal, just the truth -- like Undisciplined said

Emission offsets

Well, promise a promise so y'all get to split

So I just promised sats for no reason?!

What power ...?

Suckers didn't have movies back in the 1700s

The opportunity for teaching life lessons there are super valuable, indeed.

...and, you're right: I think there is a way to overperform. Remember that the figures cited above are averages; some people pay $50 for gifts valued at $60, let's say.

That's how I approach gifts: something the person would enjoy but doesn't know/appreciate yet, and wouldn't have gotten for themselves.

(Economically, I suppose it amounts to giving them information about products in the market, ie closing the missing information gap)
