Notes by DugandRupe | export

 Love to make clips, but all of this is so important for building stoke on why we should all be more bullish on #bitcoin. @BTCsessions, @Excellion Andrew Howard and Rob Johnson making me hyped on a Saturday morning. Love the “oh my god, this is a cheat code” “all time high Rye talk”. Also, maybe time to stay humble and draw from the thinking of @tuur to mentally (and physically) prepare yourself for when price goes insane. Don’t be an idiot, run out and buy an over priced lambo and then get screwed by taxes. Nfa, but you just have to be ready. https://fountain.fm/episode/eqwvOhtqqdYhrvEY3NHm 
 Finally have New Year’s resolutions I’m happy with:
Read more
Write more
Ride my bike more
Drink more (but only with irl bitcoiners, ideally a couple of all time high ryes)
Eat more steak 🥩 
Chew property (funny story). 
 Chew Properly…. 🤦‍♂️ 
 Was responding to a reviewer today who suggested fiat made a better unit of account than #bitcoin , thanks to reading the work and listening to @saifedean , @caitlinlong and @LynAlden  amongst others, I could calmly explain the limitations of Keynesian economics…And an inflationary currency does NOT in fact provide a better yardstick of measurement (given it continually changes so is anything but a “yardstick”) thank #bitcoin. Your help is much appreciated as I have never studied economics. Fingers crossed they respectfully accept my response and I get the piece published. Onwards and upwards.

 Tidying away Christmas decorations and found a Christmas card from around 2011. Happy belated Christmas nostriches. #dogstr https://image.nostr.build/571e9501ebfece687fdb4af77ecfad7f9a7d6b7202f5285070a1bed2fda02517.jpg

If you don’t know where the yield comes from, you are the yield!!! #bitcoin  

Thank you @ODELL https://image.nostr.build/5ca380d1006111299e886cf890c740a3794802ff0a18764453337aabc4602f80.jpg  
 Fantastic show Natalie, love listening to Fran, and love her being asked her own views on Bitcoin. 6 miles to go to complete the running Bitcoin challenge, sorry, I joined the wbd team before hearing you had one. 
 YOU CAN BUY MOST BITCOIN INFLUENCERS FOR $500 AND A REF LINK. 
 Imagine what you can get for 6 figures? Absolutely zero conscience in shilling duff hardware “solutions” 
 Sounds like a capital gains tax nightmare to me.

 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡 
 Stay humble, stack sats via mining. 🫡 
 I think I’ve fixed high transaction fees, in the same way buying spot causes an immediate price dump, my miners coming online have done exactly the same with transaction fees. Users of the #Bitcoin network, you’re welcome. https://image.nostr.build/af1a10dfbc958dc00422fb64b7d09da09486440ce0a3492155f6015818ee1b1a.jpg

 Big shout out to @CBP, @flirtingwithbitcoin (@Ian) and @ODELL as my most boasted podcasts. Combined with what I’ve received on nostr, I’m around even 🤨, but totally worth it when there is a shout out to DugandRupe and even better when there is a segment on Dug’s pension dilemmas. Keep up the awesome work legends. https://image.nostr.build/94b2bad2033c9cd91a2c396cc3ce39cb62ac9defd2daa3f060b00992156d22d6.jpg

 Stack sats and leave the traders to create dips to be bought. 
 Thanks @Littlepixie for the proof of work needed to get this done but 
503 posts and people zapped, average of 41.8 sats per zap ⚡️ 
307 zaps received
Average of 157.8 sats per zap ⚡️ 

Specials thanks to @ODELL for some healthy zaps through the year and @Blockstream for the biggest zap…… and finally thanks Getalby for the apple work around.

Now, how do I include this income on my tax return? 
 I would, but funny story, I went out on my boat last night….. 
 How did you get these figures? I’ve been trying to get this info from getalby and can’t face manually counting boosts. Thank you 
 Hmmm, slow day in the office task just landed on my desk!!!! 
 Annual leave is fun and a rest is often needed, but also love coming back into the peace, quiet and focus of the office. #coffeechain #madex left over porkpie!!!!! https://image.nostr.build/2c4c1ff2f5ab55c81ce0b4797a37b0719277aa699f4f75f673bb82529e514a32.jpg  
 The #bitcoin genesis block was mined on the 3rd of January 2009! That marks 15 years of freedom ... 
 🤙 
 Happy #proofofkeys day, #genesisblockday, since last year,personal #bitcoin dominance has increased from 67 to 99.4%,Bitcoin stack has increased satisfactorily,hardware wallet game has improved from #ledger to #coldcard,coins on exchanges only usdc,fucks given about fiat price: zero. https://media3.giphy.com/media/pdSncNyYgaH0wqaCqp/giphy.gif 
 Get ready for #genesisblockday, and don’t do dry January, instead do something positive AND #bitcoin, run a total of 13.1 miles (very manageable distance) all at once or over a couple of outings. Do it for Hal, do it for Fran, do it just because you can. https://strava.app.link/TRMVPNg91Fb

 Time to up your zap game Jameson, not social media based advice, just a zap from an og can change someone’s week. 
 Exhibit A, care of @ODELL 
 HAPPY NEW YEAR GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡 
 Stay humble and hold on tight, but mainly stay humble meaning try not to be an ass. I may or may not fail this last part. 
 Please tell me this is a sign things are going back to normal and the idiot “wizards” have to sent packing? Happy new year legends, if you made it this far, you have tough skin, survived the worse bear market and will be called lucky or a genius by everyone who finds out you were into #bitcoin before everyone started talking about it. #grownostr stay humble, share your knowledge and stack like a psychopath! https://image.nostr.build/35b0cc6182f5a86f4618ae4534d1db4f7bcd54f4ab390db237654c547ee2d8a3.jpg  
 Had one pending for a couple of months, foolishly of set the fee very low before all this crap started happening. 
 Holiday running challenge complete, 9 days out of 10 (Christmas Day off), average 5k a day, finishing off with a 10k on new years day. #runstr #grownostr. One day off, before starting the next challenge for Hal, #genesisblockday #runningbitcoinchallenge #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/87e90f283a532a57a2b328e08cef767a181e295e62cfd6a9af98135b8ceeed02.jpg  
 What a year, was awesome.

Can't wait to 10x adventures in 2024

Whisking all the best 🎉🥂🫂 
 Ready to buy more coinkite kit in 2024, gifted a mk4 to my brother earlier this week!!! Got to get him in the game!! 
 Remember to base your new year's resolutions on the fact that you don't own enough #bitcoin. 
 And you probably haven’t stacked enough ASICS. 
 Still time. 
 If you don’t have dirt cheap electricity, blockware solutions could be an option. An upfront cost, but being able to buy fixed price btc through a bull run is rather appealing.

 We can defeat 1984, one piece of freedom tech at a time. Kyc free, for the win. 
 Kyc freedom. 
 Anyone else prepping for the #genesisblock #runningbitcoin challenge on Wednesday? A half marathon over a couple of outings is very manageable and als is a great cause. Without Hal, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Going to need evidence @petermccormack. https://fountain.fm/episode/dNvn90D44bwBxm1QC3aQ https://image.nostr.build/a3e60b180bde4aab68e14a791e49967fcd016b366bd7b43e4710bf1558f58e4c.jpg  
 #grownostr #bitcoin 
 I’ve decided this acronym is not luminous nights, but lightning network beer!!! Double Indian pale ale!!!! And if it lasts long enough, will be consumed with a bacon with extra mature cheddar toasted sandwich….. after a recent experience, may need to take a break from steak… 🥩 #grownostr #bitcoin #lightning #beerstr https://image.nostr.build/043c9d0f3e06a38144f1ade80af41f6f90ee140c13b74650617f0758a3eb9eee.jpg
