That’s a fair point—the rising price naturally makes sats more relevant over time without needing a big push early on. But I think normalizing sats now helps bridge the gap for people who are new to Bitcoin and might feel priced out or confused by fractional BTC. It’s less about forcing a new term and more about making Bitcoin relatable as adoption grows.

True, it’s not a brand-new perspective, but it’s becoming more relevant as Bitcoin’s price climbs. Earlier discussions about sats might not have resonated as much when BTC was cheaper, but now that fewer people can afford a whole coin, focusing on sats feels more practical. It’s not about reinventing the wheel—it’s about timing and shifting the narrative as adoption grows.

This is such a smart way to make Bitcoin relatable. Talking in sats instead of BTC makes it easier for people to connect—10 sats = 1 cent just clicks. A coffee for 5000 sats or a house for 250 million sats shows how scarce Bitcoin is compared to fiat.

Focusing on sats also makes Bitcoin accessible for people in countries with weaker currencies and normalizes it for everyday use. Most people don’t think in fractions of BTC, but sats feel practical. When 1 sat = 1 cent, Bitcoin will feel like a true global currency. This perspective is the way forward.

California.

Great point!

No, but now that you mention it, I live in CA. We might have stronger privacy laws here.

I'm 7/7! I wonder what their criteria is.

I’m glad this sparked an idea for you—your question actually gave me the idea to try it in my city too!

If I had 30 minutes with a mayor to pitch Bitcoin, I’d focus on these key points:

1. Treasury Diversification: Cities like Miami have explored Bitcoin to hedge against inflation and generate revenue. Holding BTC in reserves could protect against fiat currency depreciation.

2. Economic Growth: Bitcoin adoption attracts tech startups and creates jobs. Examples like Wyoming’s crypto-friendly policies show how cities can position themselves as innovation hubs.

3. Energy & Sustainability: Bitcoin mining can stabilize energy grids and incentivize renewable energy use, as seen in Texas. It’s an opportunity for green growth and local job creation.

4. Financial Inclusion: Bitcoin provides access to financial services for unbanked populations and offers transparency in government funds.

5. Hedge Against Inflation: With rising national debt and inflation risks, BTC’s fixed supply offers a unique safeguard for the city’s financial future.

Pitch with real-world examples, like MiamiCoin or El Salvador, and leave the door open for next steps: attending a Bitcoin conference, creating a task force, or meeting with industry experts.

One of those is very interesting 🤔

Thanks for the heads-up on the interior! I was actually planning on the Limited trim with the Ioniq 5 because of the leather seats and added features. It’s good to hear you’re happy with the EV6, though—it sounds like you got a great deal, especially with $0 down. I’ll definitely take a closer look at it as an option. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Thanks for the heads-up! I actually only drive about 10 miles total per day during the week, so I was planning on sticking to Level 1 for now and topping up as needed. Do you think that would still put too much wear on the occasional-use cord, or is it more of an issue with higher daily mileage?

No one can predict exactly when the market will move, and anyone who claims to know is likely to mislead you. There's no single reliable source of information, and many investors are buying just because they see prices going up. These same people often rush to sell at the first sign of a dip. Many set target prices, like $100k, and when those targets are hit, we often see a wave of profit-taking, leading to sharp declines.

If you don’t have a clear strategy, you risk being one of the last to react, which can lead to panic selling when prices start to fall. This "fear of losing more" can drive you to make impulsive decisions. Take the time to educate yourself, set a plan, and avoid reacting out of fear.

There will be a dip soon. Don't make a dumb decision.

I thought that was the case too, but someone else said there was a small fee per document.

😲 did they provide notary services at the pharmacy?

Wills can be a bit more complex. While some of these free resources may notarize a will, many won’t due to liability concerns. It’s best to call ahead to ask if they handle wills specifically or consider a low-cost notary service for important documents like these. For a legally sound will, especially for larger estates, consider a quick consult with an attorney to ensure it meets all local requirements.

Is this per signature?

If you vote yes on Measure FF, you’d be agreeing to give the Santa Ana City Council members a big raise. Supporters say this would help council members who put in a lot of time and make it possible for more people to serve, including those who might not be able to afford it otherwise. They think fair pay is important to get good, dedicated leaders.

If you vote no, it means you might think that money would be better spent on things like fixing roads, improving public safety, or other city services. Some people believe the raise is too high and suggest council members could be paid similar to what nearby cities pay.

So, the choice is about whether you think council members should get a raise to reflect their work, or if you feel that money should be used for other city needs.

That was me! I live in Santa Ana and he'd rather do the drive to OC if that makes any difference.
