Awesome 😂 Revolvers are excellent for reliability even with little maintenance. 38 special is a very capable defense round, especially if you use hollow points. Lower recoil than 357 magnum, which makes it easier to control as well.

8.5 hours in. Internal temp got to 161F but we pulled it early because we have an early ass flight. Now we enter the wrapped stage. Flipped the fat cap to the topside and threw in a half can of Krombacher beer and a stick of butter (yes, I know aluminum foil is fiat as fuck but I forgot to get butcher paper).
It’s back in the smoker now. Internal temp at 170F and the smoker is at 300F. Wouldn’t be running the smoker this hot but it’s cold as shit outside and it feels right. Only time will tell… #foodstr https://i.nostr.build/dSjr3PjpKSEYIhpM.jpg nostr:note10v46zf4wxt97frqx2d4a7gdckj7c80ppz52tsm8sla9qw3gxvkask3p0cd

I have never watched a single YouTube tutorial on making a brisket. This is only my second one but for the first I just used a basic recipe and played it by ear, and for this one I crowd-sourced some additional tips from Nostr.
The best way to learn is by doing. Just get yourself a big heapin’ hunk ‘o meat and give it a shot.

Zaps make it possible for us to have it. That’s the piece I think you’re missing, or maybe not missing but perhaps not appreciating as much as you need to. Nostr natively supports direct person to person payments with borderless censorship resistant money. Without that, Nostr doesn’t exist as we know it for long. Likes are a useless and pointless relic that never should have been added to the protocol. They are a distraction and a waste of time and resources.

I was addicted to likes when I joined nostr, both giving and receiving them. That’s how other social media has trained us.

And some posts/content don’t warrant an interaction at all. I scroll by over half the stuff in my feed and focus on what truly seems interesting, beginning with my notifications. Attention is a scarce resource because time is limited. Give attention to things that deserve attention, and if they truly deserve your attention then they certainly deserve more than a pointless tap on a heart button.

On Nostr, I will exclusively share the most significant Bitcoin news. (this note)

Enriched with detailed charts, illustrative images, and comprehensive macroeconomic news to provide context and clarity.
Happy reading!
🧠Quote(s) of the week:
'DeepSeek increases my conviction that Bitcoin must be the hurdle rate for capital deployment. AI innovation at this speed and scale will substantially disrupt valuation metrics across industries and is not currently priced in. Those who secure a war chest of Bitcoin will be the long-run winners, picking up distressed assets for pennies on the dollar. Focus on three things: AI, Bitcoin, and energy.' -Matt Cole
Just to elaborate on the above statement by a tweet by nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsqzqzgz2jqp5l5w2zzmqtn3zc30phap4p2sxjf67fr25s40pr67f5kl34qnc2 in 2021:
'Problems:
1. Infinite liquidity doesn’t fix a solvency issue.
2. Inflationary monetary policy can’t work against technological deflation.
Solution: Bitcoin'
To me it is crystal clear: BTC was built for this. AI deflates, central banks print, and Bitcoin absorbs the chaos.
🧡Bitcoin news🧡
On the 21st of January:
➡️MicroStrategy shareholders approved increasing the total number of shares from 330 million to 10.3 billion, paving the way for future fundraising to acquire more Bitcoin (55.8% approval).
➡️Bitcoin's mining difficulty has seen a 24% quarterly increase since August 2024.
Saylor: "Bitcoin mining difficulty has reached a new all-time high.
Creating BTC requires proof of work and significant energy, making it increasingly expensive over time. Historically, mining difficulty and price are closely linked—a strong signal for bullish momentum."
The Difficulty Regression Model estimates the cost to mine 1 Bitcoin at $33.9K, while Bitcoin trades at ~$104K. This ~3x profitability margin showcases miners' resilience, even as mining difficulty continues to rise in this cycle: Glassnode https://t.co/bSY1SHBS7e
➡️'Bitcoin ETFs launched a year ago and now hold over 1,100,000 BTC which is ~5.7% of the current supply.' -Jameson Lopp
➡️The governor of the South African central bank scoffs at the idea of a strategic Bitcoin reserve asking, “Why not a strategic beef reserve? Why not an apple reserve? Why Bitcoin?!”
And at that same panel discussion at the World Economic Forum, we had Brian Amstrong, CEO of Coinbase, praising Bitcoin as the best money in the world.
“It’s clear at this point, bitcoin is a better form of money than gold…For a store-of-value, governments must hold bitcoin over time”
➡️Corporate announcements this morning:
- MicroStrategy has bought 11,000 BTC for $1.1 billion, and now holds 461,000 bitcoin.
Microstrategy now owns 2.195% of all Bitcoins that will ever exist.
- KULR Technology Group has bought 79 BTC for $8 million, and now holds 510 bitcoin.
- Genius Group has bought 52 BTC for $5 million, and now holds 420 bitcoin.
➡️ETH holders absolutely deserve what is coming. The following text/tweet by Vitalik Buterin just shows you how decentralized Ethereum is.
'No. This is not how this game works.
The person deciding the new EF leadership team is me. One of the goals of the ongoing reform is to give the EF a "proper board", but until that happens it's me.
If you "keep the pressure on", then you are creating an environment that is actively toxic to top talent. Some of Ethereum's best devs have been messaging me recently, expressing their disgust with the social media environment that people like you are creating. YOU ARE MAKING MY JOB HARDER.
And you are decreasing the chance I have any interest whatsoever in doing "what you want".
TLDR: There’s no “me” in Bitcoin. If your "crypto" has a leader, it's not decentralized. Period!
➡️Bitcoin mining in Texas has had a positive impact on the state's power grid and has also potentially saved billions by reducing reliance on expensive and polluting gas-peaking plants, according to the latest report from the Digital Assets Research Institute.
➡️Critical Metals Corp secures up to $500M in convertible note financing to purchase Bitcoin for its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
This makes them the first Nasdaq-listed critical minerals company to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
➡️Legendary investor Ray Dalio says Bitcoin he owns Bitcoin to “reduce the risk of a portfolio”.
On the 22nd of January:
➡️ Finally Ross Ulbricht is free. Pardoning Ross is a promise fulfilled by Trump. Revealing that this was an act of the deep state is next level, calling the people who convicted him "scum." Trump: "The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern-day weaponization of government against me. He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years." Politicians stay Politicians, but I am glad Ross is free.
Ross didn’t sell drugs—he built an anonymous, free, and open platform on Tor called Silk Road.
'Silk Road sold apparel, art, books, collectibles, computer equipment, electronics, herbs, and yeah—drugs. But according to friends who used it, Silk Road was arguably the safest way drugs were ever sold: no street violence, no shady deals, and zero fentanyl. Everything was tested and peer-reviewed, like an Amazon for substances.'
Don’t forget… the DOJ seized 173,991 Bitcoin directly and indirectly from Ross Ulbricht.
It was $34 Million when they took it.
Today it’s worth ~$18.4 BILLION.
Newcomers to Bitcoin may not understand why old-timers care so much about Ross Ulbricht. Great explanation by Vijay Boyapati:

On the 23rd of January:
➡️China sold its entire 194K BTC stash, seized from PlusToken, despite official claims of transferring it to the national treasury, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju.
➡️YouTube rival Rumble to launch digital wallet to make Bitcoin and Tether payments. Tether-backed video-sharing platform Rumble to launch Rumble Wallet, which will allow creators to receive tips and subscription payments directly in Bitcoin or Tether.
➡️Ledger co-founder David Balland was kidnapped and a cryptocurrency ransom was demanded. GIGN rescued him and multiple suspects are in custody.

On the 24th of January:
➡️SAB 121 has been rescinded, allowing banks to custody Bitcoin. Banks can now offer Bitcoin services to hundreds of millions of customers.
The Bitcoin Podcast: nostr:nprofile1qyt8wue69uhh2mtzwfjkctnvda3kzmp6xsurgwqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxy3c5lqj6g9nqpeg0ea7xgdmurrrq9nc8fx5er2930pq8jdc2vzyu7yza6
But what exactly is SAB 121 and what does its repeal mean for Bitcoin? Eric Weiss breaks it down:
"I think that's gonna be a massive, massive catalyst down the road for a US dollar price appreciation of Bitcoin."
https://x.com/titcoinpodcast/status/1882599727880917490
➡️Bitcoin is above $100k but retail interest is the lowest it's been in 3 years.
➡️How popular is Bitcoin on Wall Street? 6% of all the money flowing into American ETFs is now Bitcoin.
➡️A user just successfully sent ~$866,430,722 worth of Bitcoin for a 33¢ transaction fee using the blockchain.
➡️President Trump’s new executive order protects American’s right to use public blockchains, develop and deploy software, participate in mining and validation, transact without censorship, and safeguard their own digital assets. The freedom to build, mine, and hodl Bitcoin.
➡️Spot Bitcoin ETFs are now bigger than ESG ETFs.
On the 25th of January:
➡️Bitcoin has completely dislocated from its ~70-day global M2 lag.
It's been on a run of its own for the last 30 days.
➡️As mentioned above but also in the segment (Macro/Geopolitics) Trump took a bold stand against CBDCs, protecting Americans from the financial tyranny they represent.
But now, Ripple is working behind the scenes to undermine his administration and sneak CBDCs in through a backdoor while lobbying heavily.
Ripple is public enemy number one this cycle, and it’s time everyone recognized it.
You don’t hate XRP enough, plain and simple.
If you understood what they’re trying to pull, your outrage would be through the roof.
Jameson Lopp nostr:nprofile1qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qpq7u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrquyd27a : There's Bitcoin, then there's Crypto, then there's Ripple.
Ripple has attacked Bitcoin at a level rivaled only by BSV's lawsuits.
Ripple explicitly wants to power CBDCs. They have always been focused on servicing banks.
Few projects are as antithetical to Bitcoin.
Brad Garlinghouse douchebag and CEO of Ripple: "We would not be profitable or cash flow positive without selling our XRP holdings.”
All 100 billion XRP tokens were created out of thin air by Ripple Labs in 2012 and reserved for insiders.
Ripple's income comes from dumping these coins on the public.
On the 26th of January:
➡️Only 1,056,700 Bitcoin is left to be mined, forever.
On the 27th of January:
➡️MicroStrategy has acquired 10,107 BTC for ~$1.1 billion at ~$105,596 per Bitcoin and has achieved a Bitcoin Yield of 2.90% YTD 2025. As of 1/26/2025, they hodl 471,107 Bitcoins acquired for ~$30.4 billion at ~$64,511 per Bitcoin.
➡️Russia's largest energy supplier Rosseti to launch Bitcoin mining operations in areas with excess electricity, aiming to optimize energy use, increase tax revenue, and support the development of BTC mining in Russia.
➡️Brazilian oil giant Petrobras to launch Bitcoin mining operations using excess natural gas produced during oil extraction, to reduce energy waste and carbon emissions.
➡️MicroStrategy to offer 2.5 million shares of 'Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock' to buy more Bitcoin.
➡️Arizona is the first state to pass a bill out of committee to create a ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.’
Co-sponsored by Wendy Rogers and Jeff Weninger, the bill now heads to the state Senate floor for a vote.
➡️El Salvador is now the second fastest-growing tourist destination in the world.
Bitcoin and Tourism.
➡️'Cboe BZX Exchange files amended rules to allow in-kind redemptions and creations for the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.
This follows Nasdaq’s similar filing for BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, signaling progress in spot Bitcoin ETF mechanics.' -Bitcoin News
What we have learned last week:
'Vitalik doesn’t buy Ethereum, only sells it.
Ripple doesn’t buy XRP, only sells it.
The US doesn’t buy USD, only prints it.
There can only be one Bitcoin— wake up' - Cory Bates
