if btc is truly digital gold, at some point it will need to shift from trading like a financial/risk asset to a hard/real asset. Hopefully happens soon because if we’re running the 1930s back it was a great time to be in gold and a terrible time to be in stocks and bonds

Before crypto, I had so many cool, stupid side projects that never shipped because they couldn't pay for themselves. Weekend over by the time you set up Stripe and configure all your billing alerts. Live in fear of fraud, chargebacks, and an unexpected infra bill.

After crypto, I had so many cool, stupid side projects that never shipped because they had no distribution. Write the contracts, test the contracts, build the frontend, write the tweet and pray you get 10 likes. Live in fear of a smart contract bug, die because nobody clicks through to your website or knows how to use a wallet.

But you? You can have it all.

crypto will make it 10x easier to start and run a profitable online business

the era of the onchain business is nigh

HBOT ranks as one of the highest value health therapies I’ve done. Results from 60 sessions:

+ 300% increase in VEGF (formation of new blood vessels)
+ telomerase activity of a 12 year https://t.co/niAeXLX2rI

real talk -- is anyone out there with a higher bar / more polished product than linear atm? it shows in every interaction, in and out of product

@karrisaarinen @linear What’s the analysis on avg fix? I feel like every one I’ve reported is resolved in 24-48h

@joshpuckett @linear 25 percentile within 6 hours, sometimes under an hour. 75th within 6 days and 95th within 2 weeks https://t.co/Y0yDWHHrF4

So, with Claude offering websearch, it seems “search” is becoming a feature and this is not good for Google unless they do something, quickly. New piece https://om.co/2025/03/20/has-search-become-just-a-feature/

this is such a good line -- and I would add "when Bitcoin made it valuable" to the list

(valuable doesn't feel like the perfect word here, but,, good enough first strike)

last cycle we:
- kicked off recurring, multi-recipient transactions
- updated signer ux to center people over keys
- continued work on compliant payments (~end of march)
- bunch of other smaller improvements!

https://splits.org/changelog/splits-changelog-recurring-transactions-kickoff/

priorities for next week:
- compliant payments
- recurring, multi-recipient txns
- app stability & performance

hoping top 2 priorities are wrapped up by end of month, then I think we'll turn inwards. Some possible future features:
- debit cards
- address-less payments
- invoices
- raw txn builder
- ???
