It’s just that considering time when solving a problem is like the difference between a picture and a video. It literally adds another dimension to the problem

Absolutely. No longer just about if you paid or not, but whether your payment is still valid or not.
Probably opens up all sorts of future functionality, like Stacker subs and recurring payments, zaps & donations. Hopefully worth the headaches long-term.

For some reason, knowing that you watched Community and apparently liked it so much that you have chosen a reference to it as your pp gave you a lot of sympathy points from me.
Funny how that works sometimes.

Real freaky.
I like how the videos become more uncanny the longer you pay attention to them. For example, the van sometimes has shadows cast upon it when a tree's there but sometimes doesn't. And the wild west scene has a two-legged horse (left side of the river, ~10 seconds in).

Learn how to fish instead of keep buying the fish! 🎣
Now whenever I see something I like / curious about how it's being made, as simple as candles or soaps, I would ask the maker do you teach it instead of asking for the price of the product hahah; I mean I can just buy and done, but that's a bit boring...I'm much happier to have the products made by me ( way more fun and meaningful ) but the main reason is that I want to see how things are being made, not necessary to master it but I would like to have the opportunity and see and get my hand dirty to play a bit. 🤓

3 Amazing and Noteworthy Bitcoin Facts

1 - Think about the cost of delivery

A programmer paid 10,000 bitcoins (about $30) in May 2010 for two enormous Papa John's pizzas. Those pizzas would be worth more than $735 million AUD at the current bitcoin pricing, making it reportedly the first-ever purchase of any kind using the cryptocurrency.

2 - Searching in the Landfill

James Howell, an Englishman from Newport, United Kingdom, states that after becoming one of the first miners of bitcoin, he unintentionally tossed out his computer hard drive, which contained almost 7,500 BTC. He has been frantically exploring the neighborhood garbage since 2013 in an attempt to locate the misplaced hard drive, which is believed to be worth 5.5 million AUD today.
How unlucky you are!

2 - $200 for all, all for one

The maximum number of coins in the Bitcoin market is 21 million. Therefore, if everyone received the same amount of coins, it would be about 0.0027 BTC for every person. That equates to about $200 AUD for each person.

Early January I made the following play:
Bullish as fuck on 2024. I have deployed some capital into the top miners for a short-term trade in a tax sheltered account. For the record I mostly hold cold-storage BTC, but this is capital that cannot be used to buy spot (UK ISAs).
Making my trade public so you guys can all shit on me if this goes tits up. __@_'-'
After a brief sell-off post ETF approval, it seems as though most miners have recovered and then some. My allocation is up ~30% thus far, neat.
This is a short-term degen play. Will exit the trade at either a) New ATH or b) Mid-April, whichever comes first.

just had an experiment of "bank run": LNbits - create a mint - distribute the tokens to other wallets to play around - delete the mint, and guess what! all the IOUs left in the wallet are nonredeemable, it's still THERE but you can't cash out or swap out, in real life would be you can't do any transfers or get cash out of the ATMs, which makes me wonder why people trust the banks so much with their money, it's really easy to "shut down" the banks.
The Bitcoin journey really teaches you about money and how to be your own bank instead of trusting some banksters to handle it for you.
