You simply don't know how good PlebQR is. I've been basically living on Bitcoin for the past couple of weeks and purchasing food, drinks, clothes, tickets with the sats I earn by shitposting on Nostr....
It’s amazing - works really well. I am surprised at how much it is already used - multiple chances to pay for someone and pick up sats each day…
Plebqr in Thailand is amazing! Simple and works so well. Was surprised at the volume . I am a ‘payer’ and usually too slow to get the payment before someone else picked it up :)
Not finance expert and trying to understand the importance of Saylor’s MSTR strategy - slowly getting there through listening yo lots of people who do understand - thx to everyone who is helping explain.
Linked it to another innovator who changed everything in his (track &) field. Interested in feedback - is this a valid comparison:
"Raising the Bar or Destined to Flop?"
In 1968, Dick Fosbury stunned the world by flipping the high jump on its head—literally. By going over the bar backwards, he defied conventional techniques, unlocking new heights through a counterintuitive approach to physics and biomechanics. Critics initially scoffed, calling it awkward and risky. But after Fosbury's gold medal win at the Mexico City Olympics, the Flop quickly became the standard, reshaping the sport forever.
Fast forward to today, Michael Saylor is doing something equally revolutionary in corporate finance. His "accretive dilution" strategy at MicroStrategy rewrites the rules of treasury management, prioritizing Bitcoin accumulation over traditional capital reserves. By issuing convertible debt and raising equity, Saylor transforms potential dilution into exponential value, measured not in dollars but in Bitcoin yield—how many BTC the company holds per share. Like Fosbury, Saylor’s approach flips conventional wisdom, challenging entrenched norms and capturing the attention of the financial world.
The parallel? Both Fosbury and Saylor saw playing fields constrained by outdated frameworks. Fosbury redefined what it meant to jump higher. Saylor redefines what it means to create shareholder value. Just as the Fosbury Flop became the standard for high jump, Saylor's Bitcoin-centric financial engineering could establish a new blueprint for corporate treasuries in the digital age.
The lesson: innovation doesn’t just improve performance—it changes the game entirely. Whether it’s clearing the bar or building balance sheets, a fresh perspective is often what takes you higher.

Thoughts are with you - your writing has been one of my biggest inspirations…
The last few years I’ve gradually exercised less and consumed more calories.
I’m also in my mid-40s now so that youthful metabolism ain’t so much anymore.
So last week I got out my food scal...
Nice work & keep at it. Mid 50s here and down 35 pounds over last 6 months. Keeping at the exercise, lift weights 2x a week and intermittent fasting (18:6) working well for me :)

Cool work in Thailand
Back again - deleting Twitter (again). Hope I will love this new space….
Zaps for your thoughts. Looking for help - 8 yr old som doing a project where he has to create & publish a survey using google forms. He researched and did one about ice-cream. It blows his mind when someone responds so posting the link here in case anyone wants to help - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZL64Izi7d7TYaS6MtfEvJkks92mgrWP8MaGFiMdIsi5bSBQ/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0.
Just rewatched Jack Mallers in Madeira - it is such a great presentation but when got couple of non BTC friends to watch some of it still goes way over their heads...
