I’ve had a bunch of Bitcoin design ideas swirling around in my head for a while, inspired by my love of 80s/90s culture, old tech, arcade graphics, VHS tapes, and retro sci-fi.
I finally started bringing them to life and relaunched my Etsy shop.

At a birthday party last night, I met a financial planner that wouldn’t stop asking people how they were “optimizing with AI.” Someone mentioned that I wrote a book on bitcoin and AI.
Her to me: I hate Bitcoin. I wouldn’t recommend it. I own a little bit in fidelity retirement etf. Don’t buy it right now. It’s failing.
Incredible.

The ideal outcome is people study Bitcoin, hold their own keys, run nodes, support the Bitcoin ecosystem etc.
With that said, I hope STRC becomes a gateway drug to real Bitcoin education.
The next wave of bitcoiners may need a different entry point to finally get it.

Is this at Coppola?

2026-05-07 01:11:45 UTC

The TV show For All Mankind is fascinating because it asks one simple question:
What if the U.S. lost the race to the moon?
In that alternate timeline, the Soviet Union gets there first. The U.S. is humiliated. The space race accelerates rapidly.
By 1994, humanity is on Mars.
By 2012, they’re heading to Titan.
Competition changed the timeline.
It makes me wonder if Bitcoin follows the same pattern.
Maybe the U.S. adopting a Bitcoin standard first would be like the moon landing in our timeline. A huge symbolic victory, a burst of momentum, then complacency. The mission fades. The urgency disappears. Eventually, we come back to it, but only after losing decades.
But what if a rival adopts a Bitcoin standard first?
What if the country Americans fear most starts moving away from the dollar, accumulating Bitcoin, mining with stranded energy, settling trade outside the fiat system, and building a parallel sound money future?
The game theory would heat up. Humans move faster when survival is on the line.
The Soviet Union reaching the moon first would have forced America to compete harder, innovate faster, and push humanity further.
Maybe the U.S. needs the same thing with Bitcoin.
We’ll get there eventually, but immediate competition could compress the timeline.
Competition forces everyone to wake up.
The race is no longer to the moon.
The race is to the Bitcoin standard.
The country that figures it out first wins the future.

Absolutely insane. Why aren’t there more people panic buying bitcoin?! Is it because they don’t understand the 21 million?
7,600 bitcoin bought by Saylor in ONE day. He bought 14,000 bitcoin last week.
Only 450 are mined each day…

They were updated. I even dug into their POS systems and no merchant had any ability to enable Bitcoin. The Square marketing said they would be auto enabled today. They changed their marketing to a slower roll out AFTER the fact - after people started complaining that no one accepted it.

Yes. None of them had the ability to select it as an option. I even dug into their POS on the merchant side. Even one of our local businesses that is run by a bitcoiner has been trying to enable it for months, but he can’t get a hold of their rep to fix the issues. He still doesn’t have an enabled.

Timeline refresh.
Death Valley, Brought to Life | February 2026
Most people think of Death Valley as barren, dry, and inhospitable. I passed through on February 16–18, 2026, during a storm and saw something else entirely: water across Badwater Basin, 50 mph winds ripping through the desert, light breaking through the clouds, dunes being reshaped in real time, painted hills glowing between weather systems, and wildflowers pushing through the desert floor.
A Photographer’s Guide to the Galaxy: Death Valley edition drops tomorrow.

In one year, health insurance premiums have tripled for most people. Groceries have doubled. Buying a home moved even further out of reach.
And yet, people don’t seem to care that there’s a solution. They don’t question the fundamental system they grew up with. Living in the Matrix mentally feels safer. Questioning it feels scary.
