It’s hard to avoid projecting our feelings onto Bitcoin. For some it’s not up enough. For others it’s too down. Just let Bitcoin do.

SatReap is up! 🚀 Now I need to work through the database initialization process and ensure it's all being updated daily. Got all the BTC prices and dimension tables initialized, so next is the simulation data... Baby steps to launch.

🔥 How much Bitcoin do you need to retire by 2035? It may be less than you think… h/t Sminston With

There was a time when commentary could move Bitcoin prices. Now it’s just on its own path. Hop on.

Euphoria was the theme of the past Bitcoin cycles. People experienced big drawdowns and left only to buy in at a higher price later. Boredom is the new theme (hoping I’m wrong). And people are going to leave only to buy in at a higher price later. Don’t leave. Just hold.

Bitcoin volatility over time.

Working through a couple issues with the SatReap deployment: 1. Daily data tasks are not running automatically 2. Form inputs aren't being parsed correctly Gonna work on #2 to just get it running, then move to #1.

Thanks for subscribing to my launch list! 🙏 Excited to release SatReap 🚀

If it’s not Bitcoin, it’s not money. It’s an overly complex database. Use SQL.

Fixed the form input field issue, but something else is popping up. Never works in production like it does locally. Onward 💪

Bitcoin is savings. Everything else is speculation. Allocate accordingly.

Knocked out two issues with SatReap's deployment: 1. Data wasn't updated daily, now it is. 2. Env variables were only set on 1 service, not others where required. Still need to test these updates but we're getting there! 🚀

All necessary env variables are used for all services, so everything's doing its thing automatically. The Monte Carlo sim paths are being generated, but having some synchronization issues with S3. Working those out!

I got the Celery workers and the code to work synchronously, so we're now updating Bitcoin simulation data directly in S3. Since the servers are in the same geographical region as the S3 bucket, we should be able to read/write DIRECTLY with very little latency. Testing now!

The Celery workers take up just under 250MB of memory each, so we can run about 8 workers concurrently in the worker service. Need to test this so we don't get any memory leaks in prod. Once that's done, I need to disable some URLs so there's only one access point to the app.

Almost done "hardening" the app so (ideally) no issues happen when accessing it. Next I need to run my deploy checker script on the server and see if there are any issues still (takes a while). After that, we launch! 🚀

Bitcoin is at $112k and we're talking about it being great buying opportunity. In a matter of months, Bitcoin will dip to $125k and we'll talk about buying the dip again. THE FLOOR KEEPS RISING, BECAUSE FIAT NEVER STOPS PRINTING.

Was on holiday for a bit and saw the world has changed! Bitcoin looks the same so we’re good.
