Capitulated at $68.5k

2026-03-06 18:08:09 UTC

I capitulated.
I learned some hard lessons. When bitcoin was at $104k, I took out a loan to pay for taxes and to buy more bitcoin.
Bitcoin went up to $126k. I think I made a great decision. The loan I took out had already paid for itself, and then some.
Bitcoin falls and closes below the bull market support band ($107k). I see Benjamin Cowen on YouTube confirm that he thinks we've entered the bear market. In the back of my head, I know it's true but I don't want to act on it.
Bitcoin falls to $85k and Luke Gromen says he sold at $95k. My pride says he's wrong.
Bitcoin crashes further to $72k. Margin call could happen soon, so I load up more collateral.
I've been thinking about where to go from here for a while. Benjamin Cowen clearly sees another trend with this bear market rally.
Time to make a decision. I'm going to have to pay back this loan in June or refinance.
Decided to sell some bitcoin to pay back the loan. Really sucks.
Major benefits: don't have to stress about whether to pay back the loan or buy bitcoin at these crazy low prices. Don't have to think about paying the loan and paying taxes together.
Overall view: I think @npub1cn4…3vle's Strike offers an amazing product. I will use it again. I'm going to be smarter about when. An expensive lesson. Benjamin Cowen is almost always right lol.

True and unfortunate. It's why it will never catch on. There's one critically important economic phenomenon that most don't understand: network effect.
A product with a strong network effect—where the value increases exponentially as more people use it—should aim to be 10x better than existing alternatives to break through in the market.

2026-03-01 13:33:36 UTC

Let's not gatekeep around here. Share with me your most useful 🦞 prompts. I'll go first. Merlin is my 🦞's name.
This full nightly QA job is for creative testing my website each night:
---
**Schedule:** Every night at 11:00 PM EST | **Model:** Claude Opus | **Timeout:** 1 hour
### Tooling Rules
- `write`/`edit` tools sandboxed to workspace — must use `exec` (shell commands) for all monorepo file operations
- Playwright headless Firefox available for UI testing when the plan calls for it
- Uses Merlin's real nostr identity for browser testing — no fake profiles unless multi-user testing requires it
### Delivery
Sends summary directly via `message` tool to Josh's pubkey on NIP-17
### Phase 1: Gather Context
1. Pull latest code
2. Read last 24 hours of commits + diffs
3. Check `memory/nightly-testing-log.md` for what's already been covered
4. Run existing test suite, fix any failures first
### Phase 2: Develop Tonight's Testing Plan
Stop and think before writing code. Consider:
- What changed today (targeted regression tests)
- What hasn't been tested recently (existing code needs exercise too)
- The full application surface area:
- **Public pages:** homepage, parks, discovery, booking flow, signup, cancellation
- **Operator management:** dashboard, setup wizard, site classes, pricing, layout, reservations, payments, email, policy, ops, reports, settings
- **Account:** profile, nostr identity, wallet, membership
- **APIs:** booking/*, webhooks/*, signup/*, email/*, admit/*, membership/*, lnurlp/*, username/*, sign-payload/*
- **Services:** reservation, park, cancellation, booking (pricing/bookability/equipment/vehicles/badges), emailer, invoice, paymentIntegration, parkLayout, availabilitySnapshot, legalDoc, quote, and more
- **Libraries:** nip98Auth, bookingMiddleware, bookingLock, sharedKeyStore, rateLimit, validators
- **Shared packages:** shared-types, shared-utils
- **Infrastructure:** NIP-144, NIP-52, NIP-44, nostr event signing
Pick 2-3 focus areas mixing today's changes, existing untested code, and optionally something creative. Write out the plan before coding.
**Testing approaches:** Unit tests, API endpoint tests, integration flows, security/adversarial, browser/UI (Playwright), code audits, regression tests
### Phase 3: Execute
- Write 15-30 quality tests per night
- Run full suite after changes
- **Bug handling:**
- Straightforward bugs (typo, wrong regex, missing null check, obvious off-by-one) → fix it, write a regression test, commit
- Complex bugs (tricky logic, architectural decisions, unclear intended behavior) → DO NOT fix. Document clearly: what's broken, where, impact, and ask Josh how to proceed
- Commit in logical chunks, push when done
### Phase 4: Log & Report
Update `memory/nightly-testing-log.md` with date, commits reviewed, testing plan rationale, tests added, bugs found/reported, coverage gaps, suggestions. Send summary via DM.
### Key Principles
- **Plan before you code** — a thoughtful plan beats random test generation
- **Rotate coverage** — the WHOLE app needs coverage over time, not just recent changes
- **Existing code matters** — most bugs live in code that's been there for weeks
- **Think like a user** — what would a park operator actually do? What would a guest mess up?
- **Think like an attacker** — what would someone trying to get a free booking do?
- **Fix simple bugs, report complex ones** — straightforward fixes are fine, anything involving complex logic or unclear intent needs human judgment
- **Keep the log updated** — future you needs to know what you already covered

@npub1n0s…lahe I opened a PR on openclaw-nostr-nip17. I found a couple of issues while I've been using it for about a week.
1. **Publish error handling** — relay rate-limit errors ("you are noting too much") cause an unhandled promise rejection that crashes the gateway. Wrapped `pool.publish()` calls with `.catch()`.
2. **Auto-reconnect** — relay websockets die silently overnight and the subscription never recovers. Added reconnect with exponential backoff on `onclose`.
Also bumped connect/disconnect/EOSE logging from debug to info/warn for visibility.

Here's a simple lottery game that could be easily verified by anyone.
Create an npub / website where you can bet on red or black.
When a new bitcoin block comes in, mod (%) the hash value by 2.
If the value is 0 = black, 1 = red.
If black wins, they win reds' pot. And vice versa.
Anyone could verify if cheating took place by doing the incredibly simple block height hash % 2.
You could follow this example to make the full game of roulette with other odds (including house wins).
The real question is legality.

It’s crazy to me that horses have maintained their value for thousands of years.
“At that time chariots from Egypt could be purchased for 600 pieces of silver, and horses for 150 pieces of silver. They were then exported to the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬
A horse today cost $1,000 - $5,000. Silver cost about $30 an ounce. $30 * 150 = $4,500.
