The LOTS Project Morning Show

This one’s three threads that all connect in the same annoying way: systems break… and you either adapt or pay later.First: cabin update. We knocked out all 10 windows, built shallow stairs for big dogs and bad hips, and I learned (again) that battery tools have feelings… and those feelings are “nope.” Bonus: I’m officially done buying lumber at Lowe’s.Second: Bitcoin for normal people. If you’ve been stacking sats in small buys and sending them to a wallet like you’re being responsible — cool. But that creates a problem most people don’t learn about until fees jump: UTXOs. I explain what they are, why they matter, and why low-fee periods are when you handle it like an adult.Third: Iran. I’m not pretending I’m a geopolitics expert — I’m paying attention to the messaging. The “sleeper cell” narrative is being pushed hard from multiple directions, and that usually means someone’s trying to get the public pre-loaded for what comes next. I hope I’m wrong.Sponsors / affiliate links (support the show if you want):Blockstream Jade (10% off OR 10% back in sats): https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject | Code: TheLOTSProjectComfrey roots: https://comfreyroots.comFood Forest Farms Coffee: https://foodforestfarms.com | Code: LOTS10Affiliate disclosure: some links are affiliate links.

Episode 873 is a real-world breakdown of riding out a West Tennessee ice storm while living in an RV—what Brian did to prep, what failed (hello, cracked hoses), what worked (water storage, propane generator strategy, comms), and what changes he’s planning before the next storm—especially with the cabin/property plans in mind.He also opens with quick commentary on the recent Bitcoin drop and silver pullback, and restarts the Telegram Bitcoin guessing game.Sponsor / Partner Links (some are affiliate links):Signature Solar: https://signaturesolar.com/?ref=LOTSBlockstream (Jade / Jade Plus): https://store.blockstream.com/?code=TheLOTSProjectFold Card: https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETXComfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.comFood Forest Farms: https://foodforestfarms.com (Code: LOTS10)The Bitcoin Standard (Amazon): https://amzn.to/4qdKSyHBitaxe 602 Gamma (Solo Satoshi): https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/bitaxe-gamma/aff/213/Telegram chat: https://t.me/LOTSChatAffiliate Disclosure: Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them—at no extra cost to you.
