Carpenter. If I could choose, I'd do interior finishing. I'd make furniture in my spare time and charge bitcoin for it.
I stayed in my first airbnb via craigslist in 2012. I've sold a variety of stuff locally and bought a lot of furniture through craigslist.
I found/got my office couch via craigslist!
I think it's just coworking. Wolf only affords coworking for companies in their accelerator afaik.
Microstrategy just freed up 20% of their office space.
I do see bitcoin and bitcoin related things in more places than I expected like in Dune recently.
Did you get into Bitcoin through NGU or some other interest?
I came to bitcoin through tech. I spent most of my paid career designing, writing, and maintaining a distributed database. When I left my job, I made myself pick between "blockchain" and AI. I started studying a lot of p2p tech and its history around the same time too. Bitcoin clicked with me super hard having been an ancap in my early 20's and given my professional experience. I also found myself having a lot in common with bitcoiners otherwise (primitive diets, loathing permission/bankers/debt).
Have you found new passions because of Bitcoin?
I've mostly lost other passions. I used to be very keen on biohacking-ish things, cooking, art, fitness, gardening, etc. Then again, maybe I lost those passions more because of the founder thing than because of bitcoin.
Also, what's everybody here think about John Muir?
I've always wanted to do at least a few days of Muir Trail. I'm not familiar with him or Teddy much otherwise.
Nothing too surprising in here. It does further highlight the demographic bitcoin is now "serving."
In his proposal presented to the SEC, Saylor describes Bitcoin as a commodity, meaning "an asset without an issuer, backed by digital power." Bitcoin, according to Saylor, is to be distinguished from digital currencies, which he defines as "an asset with an issuer, backed by fiat currency."
Saylor does propose that cryptocurrency owners have the right to self-custody, as well as to trade and transfer their assets. However, Saylor also states that cryptocurrency owners must comply with local laws, stating that "all participants are civilly and criminally responsible for their actions," hinting at possible sanctions compliance to be enforced on a wallet level.
His overall goal, as described in the section of his framework titled "Opportunity", is establishing "USD as the Global Reserve Digital Currency" to "strengthen the US dollar, neutralize the national debt, and position America as the global leader in the 21st-century digital economy," which, according to Saylor, could for example be enabled by creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
I mentioned it to @melvincarvalho on nostr, but I’ve always wondered if it might make more sense to use HD keys and just provide derivation proofs when needed.
Publishing and finding more notes seems to have more moving parts than necessary.
I lose myself in work but that mainly just hides it and it comes out in other ways.
Best thing for me is to just spend a day not thinking too intentionally but also not too distracted by anything particular - walking, exercising, building something repetitive but rewarding, meditating, etc.
Not if there’s a photo opportunity.
To state the obvious: there are lots of reasons why they might've said no that have nothing to do with you.
And, to be sure it came with a few caveats.
Any advice would probably depend on those caveats and other context.
Regardless, congrats on taking your shot! Shooters shoot.
