I've been a Bitcoin HODLer since 2020 and honestly it didn't hit me till lately that I really am starting to see my life priced in Bitcoin, but I'm in a fiat world.

For example, nowadays, I'll buy like groceries and anything from the story, and once I get back I'm converting it to how much did it spend in Bitcoin? Also, when I'm looking at dream cars (God willing), I'll be saying to myself "When Bitcoin hits XYZ, it'll only be worth XX BTC", etc. Is anyone else like this too?

A few things I'm genuinely curious about:

• Do you ever mentally convert purchases to sats/Bitcoin too? Does it change how you feel about the spend? Like, if you knew an unneeded purchase was worth XYZ bitcoin before you bought it, would it still buy it?

• Are there any apps or tools that shows your finances/purchases in Bitcoin terms?

• What's the most frustrating thing about tracking your money as someone who holds Bitcoin? Mint and Rocket Money feel weirdly incomplete to me but I can't fully articulate why. I have to manually enter the new amount of Bitcoin I have every month.

Just curious if this mindset is common and how other people deal with it.

This subreddit hosted lively discussions and debate during the 2017 blocksize wars and the Segwit UASF.

You can dig back in my post history, because I participated in them.

Apparently, this subreddit is now perma-banning anything even remotely discussing or mentioning proposed future softforks, and non-Bitcoin-core Bitcoin implementations. This is absurd and insane.

Bye-bye. If anyone reads this and doesn't know what I'm talking about, you might want to read up on what signalling bit 4 does, and why this Subreddit has banned a developer discussing what this might imply.

Hey gang! Big market maker on HodlHodl here. Unfortunately I recently received bad news and that will be causing the spread to go up.

HodlHodl used to have a fee of 0.5%. This made it so I could charge a reasonable 3% for BTC. Unfortunately this will be causing the total spread to be about 4.5% which feels unreasonable to me.

“After many years without changes, we're adjusting our fees. The new structure is:

• 0.75% from the seller and 0.75% from the buyer

• 1.5% origination fee on every lending contract

Thank you for being with us.
The Hodl Hodl Team”

On the old fee amount:
$10,000 order would have a $50 fee (from HodlHodl)
Now: $10,000 order would have $150 fee (from HodlHodl)

Back in March 2023 I lost around $10k in a futures position. Not because my analysis was wrong. Not because I misread the chart. Because a news went out which moved markets and I had absolutely no idea it happened until I was close to liquidation.

I know I'm not alone. This happens to traders every single day, especially people who've been in the space under 3 years and haven't yet built out the 5-screen setup that experienced traders use to monitor everything at once.

I've been thinking about building a terminal that puts everything in one place:

- Live chart (obviously)

- Instant push notifications from Twitter when specific accounts tweet, the ones that actually move markets

- Real-time news feed from relevant crypto outlets, filtered for signal not noise

- An AI assistant on the side so you can immediately ask "what's the likely market impact of this?"

- Eventually, direct exchange integration so you can act on it without switching tabs

The whole idea is that you shouldn't need 5 screens and 10 open tabs to trade properly. And you definitely shouldn't be getting liquidated because you missed a tweet.

My question for this community: Would you actually use something like this? And if not, what's missing or what do you already use that covers this?

Not selling anything. Don't have a waitlist. Just trying to figure out if this is worth building before I build it.

Honest feedback only please, if this is a terrible idea, I'd rather know now
