Back into the fiat mine for a shorter week as have some time booked to attempt to give the house a lick of paint…… my day off to work on the house? Just a rite of passage of being the man of the house getting shit done and others will only comment on not being done but never get done. But before then, another Monday, another piece to write, this week a little unusual, a “what could have been”, with some spread sheets and numbers thrown into the mix, having had a little inspiration and nudge for @nprofile…45tu and the new Orange Juice venture, an idea so good, I started thinking it through a little while back, and they’ve been doing the same. #coffeechain with the tomatoes on a lovely cool morning. https://blossom.primal.net/66518ca8dd0b49ef3943cf88e87b42b4c5411bae117dad2989e4e0fea9f5a019.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Spent so much on crypto.com a few years ago, so embarrassing. 😂 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, watched the first couple of goals with the eldest before catching up on some sleep after yesterday’s 33k step mega day, will this sort me for what ever trials and tribulations await me? can’t tell Absolutely love the metaphor last night’s match provides. Against Argentina, terrified of losing doing what ever it took to not lose but also being trapped by the fear. Last night, without the expectation of a nation of sofa experts and stupid pundits saying “this is our year” they could just relax, and play, and play well. It’s not about conceding less goals (taking an L here or there), it’s about scoring more goals (shooting for the stars and being fine you’ll miss). Trapped by the fear of losing the comfortable fiat existence, losing “that good pension”, it will trap you in a loser mindset. I worry I have that loser mindset in some elements of my life, but I also have (and need to believe more) the confidence that I have the capability and resources to get through some discomfort. Discomfort for the match with Argentina, freedom to fail was the match with France. I didn’t watch either, it’s just bread a circuses, but I’m taking this lesson and time to pursue more “failures” #coffeechain and #dogstr walk looking like a big win in my very near future though. She’s up for it. https://blossom.primal.net/096727819fde43e1927b8e7a94a781a084ce96e66a5f0e71b26f8bf8f7104119.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ea1bbb9c07e9414a039489f257c16d0fc6030fdc9da55dc508d36b9c9293f136.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe She’s willing to read some stuff I write, hmmm, maybe for edition 3, I should explore the pharma rabbit hole a little……… npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Wild, hoping I’m slowly moving my mother into some freer thinking, but she loves a good dose!!!! npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Bitcoin, come for the technology, stay for the NGU. This morning? Go for a bike ride, stay for the view!!!!! Beautiful sort of morning, a chance to head up the local high point after waking early, hit the peak before 7 am, followed by a renegade run down a pretty empty footpath. Gotta say, I can see why downhill mountain biking is a thing. Back home, no one appears to be awake after a late night with some general anguish from the girls. Maybe time for a quick #coffeechain before anyone joins me, then breakfast for my mother so she can have a lie in. Not because I have to, but because I get to. 🫡🙌 @nprofile…dvqw https://blossom.primal.net/ebf2f0fa31d1c929f64ba540868d2d49baf96aa2372a068a5d414b18bd7183f5.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/697da0ae9737f670cfb0ff3fdd7efc1e200ed35230eb0fb9562552a8ba1ab0ac.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ed403137a08d9bd62d609d528582cefaa27b49fec745b91994cbc448725282f9.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gn nostriches, back in wales, kids causing issues with their “nuances” that I hear makes them endearing. Put the dog out before putting her to bed, and she had to push my buttons, I think it’s a game I’ve not agreed to be part of. Soon after the video she ran in by herself. Flippin’ spaniels!!!! I grumble, but used to absolutely love chasing Dug around the garden or where ever playing “silly buggers”, so maybe, just maybe, this is her way of paying homage to my boys. 😍 https://blossom.primal.net/a39f06e8cfcf234fdd28703cc8920f337c88aae309affb74f29977c982de6262.mov npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Don’t transmit transactions you don’t like.

Not to mention the many eyes that are always focused on getting their hands on my pension. 😳 Love the stash of beers I have sitting in my mother’s fridge!!!! https://blossom.primal.net/214bd5a0e82708bf0e5f429e1e3c4bc002c74893df109cc5bb7758bbf8c6dda2.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Make it a nostr read, very easy with highlighter. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe “As Barthes said, “If there is an author, the text may then be conclusively explained”. As long as Satoshi stays on the run, the myth goes on.” Humanyun and Belk (2018) Kind of a weird paper about authorship and the identity of Satoshi, but also kinda cool. One thing that was certainly established was Craig Wright is not Satoshi, but also the emergence of new “prophets” that could be Satoshi strangely mirrors the idea that Bitcoin in a way is similar to other religions where new prophets emerge and profess that they have the “true message of God/Satoshi”. Also, stay humble, don’t let your Bitcoin religion become too dogmatic, stay open to new ideas, while to Socio part (Hayes 2019) may determine how Bitcoin can integrate with our lives, underneath it all, while important, it is still simply better money, and what we build upon that base it was is most important. https://blossom.primal.net/013b56136781016229e7535c98e6a3aa6c95937695f3c22820f3e5e7ecac02ce.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/a3fb199fdbb4590d41207267278d63316063e0a2366efcd4c43e3db57436ceee.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Immigrants are not the problem, the politicians that don’t understand the problem and my pseudo clever friend simping for them are. Gm sir, happy Friday. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Nice chat with a work colleague and then after putting the tax evasion vape shop fronts down, says the reason we don’t have more growth in the economy is because we don’t have more immigrants. I reply, the immigrants, being paid low wages don’t really pay much tax. Theoretically a smart guy, but the cognitive dissonance he deals with in terms of politics and economics is astounding. And turns out he’s third generation out of wealth, all makes sense, he’s a wealthy person say communism is the way forward. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe I don’t make the rules, it’s just math. Also, the 500k in your pension will be totally immobile when you need to leave the country and act accordingly. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe What?!?!?

Also believe that this cousin had some corn years ago……… so hoping he doesn’t realise what he might have missed out on. Hoping for a Good Friday, same to you, hope the run was a suitable punishment for the directed mind. 🫡🙌 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, happy Friday for those who celebrate, welcome to the start of most productive days of the week. Hoping (although some weirdness last night, didn’t follow “protocol”) to head off to see my mother this evening. Plans for chilling out in the Welsh fresh air and sunshine, do some stomping in the countryside, maybe not even both with the “walk” part of heading out, come on girls, let’s go explore. Steak, sweet potatoes and some wine 🍷 to support the mother in the continued healing process but most importantly, giving her some time with the granddaughters. Me, maybe finishing off #bushido, maybe even manage that within 3 weeks. As a monumentally slow reader, that is quite the compliment to @nprofile…jttu !!!! Yesterday, a book I wrote was released, sent it around to a few people, including my cousins who I have given sats and #satscards to, in a bundle with another book, to the one who I’ve already gifted the Bitcoin standard, #meditation, he needs a bit more focus and discipline in his 30 year old New Yorker life, the one who will be able to borrow this, newly married and home owner, the fiat standard (time to crush his home owner dreams?), and to the medic of the three, a copy of Fiat food, he has so much opportunity to make a difference by saying no to big pharma). Now to wait and see what they say. @nprofile…ymp3 your copy should be arriving today. 🫡🙌 https://blossom.primal.net/73527aa4c19f0b37ce4f4e9432f32d6588e8fb051f5f64bbecaef81e3d2da8dc.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe @nprofile…p4d9 darn, reference was to @nprofile…l5l0 and Bitcoin is Venice, oh and my own little piece https://primal.net/Dug/More-attention-is-needed-on-interactions-go-up-technology-gg5rg4 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Like the bottom up building of social capital to offset the top down fiat system that has been build to achieve the impossible and is ultimately so brittle. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Weird reposting my own reply to @nprofile…pps7 but I think relevant. https://images.meme-arsenal.com/075d7b347ed763124cd2fb76b3903d08.jpg #nevent1q…3pcf npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Just search up iatrogenic.

It was like “what didn’t you like about Bitcoin discourse this last year?” Personally I love it, don’t be dogmatic and always update core, question who is reviewing, who is paying the bills, who is recruiting? Are the core engineers trying to leave a legacy rather than put in the hours to be the unsung hero’s fixing bugs? Gloria Zhao has got her 15 minutes, but what has she left behind and is she even a bitcoin stakeholder (Bitcoin owner) or just a paid disruptor (maybe the disruption we needed?!?!?)? Anyways, back to the subject at hand, this sheet made me laugh, everyone around me thought I was crazy.

Saying that, lovely juxtaposition, old school mini against a two lambo house. One showing you’ve got lots of money, the other, maybe more wealthy!!!! Trying my best with the old AI generation to reimagine what my perfect morning would have been like, not 8, but maybe 9 years ago, 8 years was a tough day.

Ah well, at least there are now a couple of #catstr s slinking around the place and some fiat mining to be done, booked in all the “holidays” over the summer, so only in there for 2 days of August, if only someone else did the work in my absence………. No one else can prepare my nostr ranks!!!!! Take it easy freaks. https://blossom.primal.net/06e3c4845cb0bb35f8ba0d7e718a724ce657e86830e3c649191816057868db6a.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Looking into the summer doldrums last year and while it didn’t help me trade to perfection (such a bad trader), it was at least interesting and beat the boredom of the fiat mine during the summer months. First realisation was that the post post halving summer was the bear market, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026, so looking at the pattern of the summer, normalising for the price on the 1st of June was helpful. Better than 2022 with the 3 arrows fall out, and relatively similar to 2018 and a little worse than 2014. But I often hear that the bear is made by the preceding bull, and given the bull was not a strong as we’d hoped, maybe the bear will be more muted. So let’s look at the summer price action of the bear markets are portion of all time highs….. 2026 matches weirdly close to 2014, which given 2015 was the only year where sentiment was worse than today, this can’t be a good sign, was 2014 even considered the bear market? It just a pre bear for the years of carnage to follow? Worrying this graph shows which ever graph we look at, we have a whole month of August with limited liquidity, ready for another “bear whale” to rear its head and truly find a new bottom (that would not be until October, if it was to mirror 2014), that people are so keen (including myself) to say we’ve made or even made in February. The bottom will be found only once sellers have truly been exhausted. Sell in May and go away could be a thing, but while there is so much bad sentiment, there are likely a good few entities that feel they can get a better entry. I for one won’t play into the hands of tax authorities to get hold of my capital gains I could make while opening the kimono of my stack and will also move out of MSTR, because if bitcoin gets hit, that will just crater (already at my entry point after 5 years). Even if there is a 2019 summer bull trap, happy to play this one out and get back into MSTR locked fiat speculation in September, with my cold storage still out of the light of the Eye of Sauron. https://blossom.primal.net/fae2e8a9e4aaa856804509e6bd062ad9608d49cdbde78fcbe64e4cf207ffd6b0.png https://blossom.primal.net/3dff68ca7e619d3553850979c7df3daad038be7c0a35065592f8874c7a8f634e.png npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe My bad, I sent 1000sats and you asked for 1991 sats.

Got cracking on a piece yesterday afternoon and got the bulk of it sorted during the hour the eldest was swimming yesterday evening. Going to work on some diagrams and obviously a few AI images to bring in some visuals. Reckon there is space for a Venn diagram, with the remnant, recalcitrant but open minded, paranoid Bitcoin sitting at the sweet spot. We may be the minority, but that may be fine and if we can position ourselves in relation to various other groups, we may be better placed to begin supporting a transition. Also, writing this really made me want to sell more mstr, sorry @nprofile…jtjc , even if I found out mstr does run a full node, I still don’t think you using it for sending your “own” bitcoin to exchanges, and does he old his own coins and if so, on what? Gold dropped yesterday, but less than the gold I’ve moved into over the summer, so the trade is already winning 😉 Peace out brothers and sisters, have an awesome day. Keep an eye out if I can drop this piece today. https://blossom.primal.net/b79cda3bd713336801c6672047b4ac319222c6babffbc39c076e1d2a1e6f524f.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/44dea366b38f277f11f1b7c24757d84081f9f1e4d9d78a13d1c0f19efbb40eb3.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Start of by saving, then you realise….. https://blossom.primal.net/b4ff78ea821f3dc937dfb4e6e9801f41c4ea944fb97a0ec461a8b828a7cbaa7c.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Fml Gm. 🫡🙌 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe 🫡🙌🫂 appreciate it brother. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Ramblings on someone who is lost, but also suffering from a significant lack of sleep.

Feeling rather grown up/ old. Smashing to #coffeechain hard after absolute carnage last night, 2 of the ladies going at each other after the card game, another feeling unwell so setting one off, another refusing to give another a hug and then has a massive go at everyone. I’m sitting in the middle like what the fuck!!!! Leave the grumpy one to her own devices because she should know better. Do my damndest to calm the eldest down, super chilled but not quite enough when she finds out I also have to look after the ignored sick feeling youngest. Calm and relax the youngest, give her a cuddle, tell her everything will be alright, grab her pillows and make space for her in my bed, which ultimately was still the wrong thing to do for the eldest. Oh, good luck orthodontist, this will be the wildest of days, but at least I have an idea of something to write (not about this), so while the eldest is in “the chair”, hopefully not having a fit, I’ll be able get going with the typee typee. No fiat mine, but always proper work to be done. 🫡🙌 If dad wasn’t around who knows what could have happened. https://blossom.primal.net/1c57818a4d1dd675e92b75f40c3a7e83c6e2c235123d18db9d0e84c28061748c.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe When we see the sign, we need to go into action, spend our Bitcoin and make the in real life connections that will make life worth living. #batman final scene. 🎬 https://blossom.primal.net/d1dad1edfb494f49d0d83e8952b34da542996a130eed695bfc62f32a2bc4f4b1.jpg #nevent1q…5zmm npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe *dao!!!!
