The thing about phone cases or even wallets for that matter is that everyone want a different one. It's very difficult to find a product that will sell at large.
My goal here is to make a living. Not just sell art here and there to stack additional sats at the end of the month. I'm looking to build myself a well paying and consistent Bitcoin and sovereign job.
And that is why I'm starting to put my mind on Bookbinding. Selling a 100 copies will most likely not be too difficult. And I don't think it will stop at 100.
Different leather emits different energies.
- The horse butt is powerful and commending.
- The Cow hide is resilient and reliable.
- The Calfskin is sophisticated and and gentle.
- The Goatskin seems to be energetic and bouncy.
Considering a normal edition of The Bitcoin standard is ~30$ how much would you be willing to pay for a leather bound version?

Probably not a limited run
I'm sure I could sell some for very high price but I'm more wondering at which price I can put them for most people to be able to afford if they want.

I'm thinking a lot about just putting my prices in $ like a normal person.
It wasn't that bad in a bear/crab market but I'm not crazy enough to think I can keep up in a bull market. Maybe next cycle but not this one.
But there's something I find so beautiful in using Bitcoin as unit of account. I'm not doing it because it's practical I'm doing it for the art of it.
I feel kind of uncomfortable to call it a sale when I'm just putting it back down at the original $ price you know?
It kind of feel ungenuine. But idk maybe not.
We're talking unit of account. If you price in Bitcoin your customers get higher and higher prices.
Well, that's if you look at it from a fiat perspective. In reality it cost the same amount of money. 50k sats.
That is if you are a shitcoin.
Sure, right now it's impossible to keep up because Bitcoin is too new. But if we were 200 years in the future and Bitcoin was widely adopted, it's value would be considered stable. Maybe a 2% raise year over year.
I think many people in that case would be capable of taking 2% value year over year and keep their prices stable.
That wouldn't work for commodities, but if we were fully hyperbitcoinzed right now, I think companies like Hermès would keep their prices stable in Bitcoin instead of adjusting their prices for inflation.
But yeah, right now we find ourselves to have to adjust prices. And not just 1 time a year. But that's what we meant. We have to do it manually or else our prices, in fiat, are going up.
That's beautiful. Imo, a Bitcoin store should seek the best products. There won't be 10000 clients but when they come they'll be high value.
Fine goods like leather, Perfumes, whiskey, wine, watches and Cigars.
Yeah he's doing great.
For the price It's an ideal I was following and would still would like to follow but it's inconvenient.
I don't need a bigger market than Bitcoin to succeed so Bitcoin only is not much of a problem on my side and I don't really want to receive payments in my bank account. The idea is to unbanned myself as much as possible.
It's crazy how I'm slowly losing touch with Twitter and now feeling more comfortable posting here.
Idk if that's going to keep up but right now I'm a nostriches.
Wanna see where I've been working and *living* for the past 1.5 years?

About 2 years ago I was living in my car for fun with some bitcoin in my head. But my dumbass started leverage trading (gambling) again and I lost pretty much everything.
So I didn't waste a single second and started to build somethings to get back on my feets. I took the first place I could immediately start to work in. There was no time to waste. It was a divine coincidentally that this place was a very old tannery.
250 sqft, no lock on my door, no private bathroom, no shower, no kitchen.
It was dumb. I know it was. But I didn't care. I didn't care until it had been 1 year. The last 6 month have been rough and now I have to make the decision and move. Move to build back better. In a place with higher vibes and I feel safe and comfortable.
1.5 years ago I was basically homeless as a doordash driver with ZERO experience in leathercraft and since then I built theleathermint.com

Thx so much man. I remember the day you bought it. I was in legit trouble after my car breaking down and had to get that last card in my sleeve. The belts I had just done the day prior.
Slowly prepping to change workplace for a better one.
Should make me happy but it's sad. There's a story here and I'm leaving it behind.
I was supposed to make it from the shittiest place.
There's a story here and it didn't end the way it was supposed to.
"Making ot" is a difficult thing to measure. I guess I was expecting much more from myself.
I tought I would leave here to get a 2k/M appartement or rent a warehouse you know.
But that's probably ridiculous. Still, I was expecting myself to leave triumphant. I'm not really, but I did ok.

I did a lot yes. I've started going away from it for multiple reasons and, right now, my setup isn't so good.
But what's on your mind? What would you like?
I think I see what you're looking for and I found one.
You'd be looking for something like this but with a buckle right?

I can't tell you yes I'm going to do this now because I'm not that skilled yet that I can just do anything, for me everything is still a learning process, but it's a cool project and I'll definitely keep it in mind :)
A bad from a Japanese Bitcoine artist
