@Marty Bent has there been any thought to a version of Opportunity Cost that converts prices to hours of work? I’m unsure on programming feasibility, but am envisioning the individual inputting their hourly rate which all conversions would be based on. As a result, they see how many hours they would have to work to pay for the item they are viewing, providing a pricing perspective unique to the individual.

“Stop delegating your health, your finances, your job, your education, to what everyone else is thinking and telling you to do. It's beyond me that common sense and first principles are totally lost on the majority of the population. And so I'm going to share some things that are important by going all in on Bitcoin, but I consider them logical. Like, for one, do not exceed your means. If you live a lifestyle that is reliant on Bitcoin being a specific price, that's a problem. I would say, do not spend more than you make. Be humble, stack sats means don't force Bitcoin to afford your lifestyle. Your work and value you provide to the world should afford your lifestyle. Do not confuse and conflate the two. Bitcoin's price appreciation is not your proof of work. Obviously, you can, you know, at a later date, when you're comfortable, sell some Bitcoin, buy a house or something. But do not mistake in a bull run as the value you provided to the world. It can correct. And so live within your means.” - Jack Mallers The Jack Mallers Show: The Empire Needs Bitcoin: Trump Just Admitted It @jack mallers

Found myself asking questions that @npub1s5yq...6q7z later asked, stopping to take notes countless times, and thinking how powerful this conversation was for anyone to listen to regardless of what bias or knowledge they may have (or think they have). Worth listening to and sharing. Also, I’m willing to discuss with anyone and share notes. BTC239 @Seb Bunney

Do you ever feel like you can do anything you want? You should.

“…when you move a pawn forward, pawns can't go backwards, so never in that pawn's life will it be able to influence the squares it once was, because the squares it was influencing before are behind it forever. Now, conversely, when you move a pawn forward, it's now influencing squares that it's never been able to influence before. And so chess is this very interesting idea that, you know, a bad or good move is only with context.” - @jack mallers

It is worth reading Brandon Quittem's "Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species" and John Arnold's "Bitcoin Is Eating The World" in succession. I suspect both will be considered quite prophetic one day. “After planting roots in a virgin ecosystem, the pioneer species slowly transforms their surroundings, making conditions suitable for more complex organisms to join the party. Before long, this once barren wasteland becomes an oasis of life.” ”…providing instant settlement of borderless bearer value is a unique and unprecedented phenomenon with derivative implications for every industry, and it will inexorably pull businesses that currently have nothing to do with bitcoin into bitcoin’s orbit.” https://medium.com/the-bitcoin-times/bitcoin-is-a-pioneer-species-38f42ecdbb88
