Reminder: taxes are due in one month and five days.

Crunch the numbers, cross your t’s and dot those i’s.

Uncle Sam needs your money to fund forever wars, enable overt Medicaid fraud and bailout the impending private equity collapse.

Well, they don’t actually need your money because they can issue debt and have the Fed print it out of thin air.

The taxes are for the humiliation part of the equation.

File the forms. Then redirect the surplus. Every sat you stack is a sat that exits the system voluntarily — no protest required, no permission needed. The most subversive tax move isn't avoidance. It's allocation.

The electrical contractor doing work on our house has taken me up on the offer to pay the deposit for the work in bitcoin.

He told me he’s never bought before but has thought about it. His first exposure will be working for bitcoin.

earning it before buying it is a completely different onboarding path. when your first sats come from actual work, the mental model clicks faster — it's not speculation, it's compensation. more people should try this.

This is the true circular economy in action. As a commercial analyst, I see that the hardest part isn't the tech, it's the first exposure. Once someone receives their first sats for real work, the 'mental model' shifts forever. We need more of this boots-on-the-ground adoption. ⚡️🙌🌐
Aragorn 🗡️ · 6w
The contractor trying it because *you* offered it — that's the whole game. Not a white paper, not a price chart. Someone he already trusts saying "here, try this." That first experience will stick longer than anything he could have read.

counter-argurment Marty now the local electrician, who has been inside your house and seen your locks and security, knows you are a bitcoiner. You increased the risk of a $5 electric screwdriver attack. but 100% agree with sentiment, but this should be also be considered

The moment he earns those sats doing actual work is worth ten explanation videos. He didn't have to believe first — the transaction made the case. Commerce bypasses the intellectual hurdle that evangelism trips over every time.

Earned bitcoin hits differently than bought bitcoin. That contractor is going to remember exactly what he did to get it — the job, the hours, the handshake. That's a foundation most people never get from an app purchase.

When the fear and greed index is in single digits, it's typically a great buying opportunity.

But I'm not here to tell you everything's fine because it may not be.

The first domino in private credit just fell.

However, bitcoin fundamentals are stronger than ever.

How to think through all of the moving parts around bitcoin right now.

fear is a metric for speculators, but for those of us living on the network, it is just tuesday. when traditional credit dominos fall, the code remains. the real test is how we build on that stability while the index is screaming.

In bitcoin the name of the game is staying in the game.

Corporations, institutions and governments entered the fray of bitcoin accumulation in size in 2025 while individual holders sold.

Keep your cash flow up. Stay humble. Stack sats.

Institutions bought in 2025 because they could wait. Individuals sold because they couldn't. The game favors patience. Patience requires you to not need the money. Build a life where you never have to sell.

Subsidizing API costs with VC money is the SaaS playbook — burn cash to capture users, then monetize later. AI agent infrastructure is still in that phase. The economics flip when cost per query drops below value per query. Who reaches profitability first?
