worked in ethland. asked tough questions that people kept skipping around. bitcoiners i would meet would always welcomes tough questions. felt at home.
Excellent post. If it makes you feel any better I say it at all the time to my no-coiner friend in jest almost every day. He actually bought some corn only recently, but I still feel the need to say it to him for the lolz
Don't get started on how families who choose to have a home birth are treated by the insurance companies... its a mess. From here on out my goal is to just focus on being as healthy as possible for my family and steer clear of the medical system as much as I can.
I remember when I was living in LA I had a health scare and needed a scan. I didn't have healthcare at the time. They told me it would be tens of thousands for the scans without healthcare. It was cheaper for me to fly home to Ireland and go private- about ten times cheaper. It's wild.
Really depends what you are looking for. If you are a dev or are interested in technical talks, I highly recommend Bitcoin++ or Tabconf.
If you want more of the number go up macro stuff, but something on the smaller side then Bit Block Boom is where its at.
Ultimately, conferences are really about networking. If you don't need to meet people face to face then best to just watch on YouTube I reckon.
On a clear night, if you fix your gaze on a spot in the sky for a few minutes, chances are you'll witness a satellite passing through. Almost every evening when I am grilling I spot one.
In a previous chapter of my life, I possessed the know-how to employ tools for identifying them. There is a dedicated community of enthusiasts who meticulously catalogs these sightings via a mailing list.
The real fun is when when you chance upon something that is absent from public government records—indicating you've likely stumbled upon a satellite belonging to a government that they don't want to disclose.
We (Clams) made the shift from building PWAs with Svelte, to using Tauri where you get a PWA and a Desktop App from the same code base. We have been very impressed with the dev experience thus far.
It feels good right now to be able to direct users to the Desktop App if they are at risk of being cucked by Apple.
Learn more about Tauri here - https://tauri.app/about/intro
We (Clams) are making good progress on an MVP that we hope will help bitcoiners visualize their sats flow across all of their wallets. See a short demo here https://github.com/PlebLab/Top-Builder/issues/16#issuecomment-1932049134
Would be cool to know what types of information folks would like to see on a sats flow dashboard. For example, we could show charts to track income over time. What else comes to mind that would be useful? In particular, I'd like to hear from anyone that is trying to run a Bitcoin business.
Hey! Hopefully see you in Austin when I secure the sats for Clams next month. My affirmations skills are legendary as you well know lol

Hey Natalia, do you mind me asking if you are using any particular software to track your earnings?
I recall getting a free demo of tekken 2 with a playstation mag. Played that thing to death. Then another week I got a demo of resident evil - where it had a countdown that automatically stopped the game after ten minutes. mfw I got a little further each time in that ten minutes. What a time.
I have a bitcoin meetup every two weeks, and a yoga class once a week. So thats an opportunity for me to get space to focus on me and things I am interested in. My wife has similar activities- and when she is partaking them I am on toddler duty. It has been working really well. In general, because I am trying to get a startup off the ground, I hack in the morning, early. So in the evenings, its really just dinner and getting the kiddo down that we have to worry about. I do notice when we mess up our schedule, everything falls apart. So as much as I love to travel - it is a disaster for routine.
I don't even need to peep lamestream media or bitcoin twitter to know that the latest FUD just dropped.
I have a friend just like yours. Yesterday she reached out to tell me about folks in some state that can't stand the noise of Bitcoin miners and can't sleep.
Then she started on Bukele and how he is Trumpian.
Sometimes I'll take the time to talk through this position that she thinks she holds strongly, only to find she is more aligned with me. We part ways. Then the next FUD drops. Its all so tiresome.
We have a 16 month old, so I don't need my alarm anymore. My advice for any parents is to just go to bed early. When we stay up late we usually consume crap on our phones or eat when we aren't hungry. I get around 7-8 hours a night, but usually it is broken by our toddler waking up in his cot, which doesn't bother me.
Tips for ensuring better sleep, at least for me:
- Avoid blue light at least one hour before bed.
- Make your bedroom a phone free place. ban phones and stick to it.
- Blackout blinds.
- Get a bigger bed, especially if you have kids. We got a king, was a game changer.
- Make sure all lightning in your bedroom is chill, none of those blinding light bulbs.
- Keep bedroom minimalist and tidy. think of it as a sacred place.
- no laptops or screens in the bedroom.
