Though my nostr-mastodon (nostrdon) bridge seems down (and I simply cannot get mostr to work), that's ok. It's OK because my nostr-hive bridge (hostr) is working great. (Knock on wood!) https://github.com/crrdlx/hostr

https://btcdash.org/ is an impressive #bitcoin dashboard. Looks like lots of pipes to keep running over time, but for now its great.

I'm going to miss soccer/futbol now and I'm not even a soccer/futbol guy.

Well, that's going bold. What a different world some folks live in than most of us, to bet that much on sportsball. I agree though, I think Spain will win. We shall see. https://coincu.com/wallet-withdraws-31-btc-from-wasabi-buys-1-16-million-polymarket-position-spain-world-cup/

It's been a while since I've looked at this and I don't know exactly why I made it, but I took a look again today at https://bitchess.vercel.app

You can play chess against either the #bitcoin or #ethereum blockchains, or watch them play one another. Pretty geeky, hah!

Something weird occurred to me yesterday. I was writing something family oriented and was doing some internet digging. I wanted to know if a friend from high school, call this person "Charlie", who was still working at Company ABC, which Charlie founded.
It turned out that company ABC sold a few years back to much...

I hope this Clarity act gets passed. I know the latest hurdle du jour is "ethics," led by Sen. Warren, of course. I respect that she apparently is also against government officials benefiting from stock trades. Good for her. But her track record suggests that she's mostly just trying to stall, delay, and is grandstanding for her name in the media. I hope the act passes. It would be progress and this is the road that nations will eventually go down, whether the US leads the way or not. I feel it's better when the US leads.

For some reason, I find this 1 satoshi zap both technically amazing that such a small tip can even be made and hilarious that it's in reply to "Zap big". #Bitcoin is awesome.

I just saw this little fellow hunkering down on the path. I raced right by him on my bike, he never budged. I stopped, went back to check on him. A storm went through last night and I think he either got blown from the tree or feathers soaked, or both. He didn't look injured, just laying low. I've heard it's okay to gently move a fledgling to a safe spot and they're usually okay. He seemed fine, and safe enough (though totally vulnerable to predators) so I decided to leave him as is rather than terrorize the little buy by picking him up.

Google tells me:
This young bird appears to be a swallow fledgling, possibly a species like the Purple Martin or Bank Swallow. If the bird is not injured, it is best to leave it alone, as its parents are likely nearby.
