Heads down

This is just discipline. I have been heads down all day today!!! I mean *completely* heads down. I have not bathed. I have not moved except to use the bathroom. It's really been one of those days. As I look at the clock I see I only have one more hour before the day is over. Sheesh, I almost screwed up. I am supposed to write every day. It doesn't matter what I write, but to train my discipline muscles, I am just supposed to write every day. And here I am writing. I am taking time out of my day to put thought to screen. I am soooooo, SOOOOOOOO sleepy. I still want to keep working on the software I've been working on. My son is coming home this weekend, and I'm excited. He and I have been talking about pushing each other towards discipline when he gets back. So next week my full multi-discipline focus begins. But for tonight, this is discipline. --- It doesn't have the same heart-pulled essay feel like I've been writing. To be honest, I've no other thought than the project I am working on. That's it. I guess I could have written about my project, but then that would be letting the cat out of the bag too early. It's not time yet to let the world know what I'm building, but the reason I have my head down is because I want to get this out to the world soon. Believe me, this is the hardest one I've written, because my mind is being pulled to the project. I'm writing but my head is somewhere else. My heart is in this piece, but my head is thinking about content creators and their fans. --- To be honest, I can't believe I even wrote all this. If you are reading this, I am sorry that there was no deep philosophical story. I'm sorry this wasn't very motivational. Hopefully you'll keep coming back. Because I am. I will keep coming back, every day. Every **SINGLE DAY!** I will write something every day of this year. Not because there is a deadline I have to meet. Not because I'm trying to get people to read these. I am not looking for followers or fame. I am not even looking for anyone to change their life. **All I am doing is doing what I said I would do!** If I can't keep my word to myself, what is my word worth? *How can I commit to anything else if I can't keep a commitment with myself?* --- Again my bad, this didn't help you out! Aight, that's enough. Time to get back to this project.

Bitcoin Cost Basis Tracking in 2025 and Beyond

Most Bitcoin holders don't realize that the cost basis method they use to calculate taxes can dramatically change their tax bill and audit risk—and with new IRS reporting requirements kicking in, FIFO (First In, First Out) is becoming the automatic default unless you can prove you're using Specific Identification with proper documentation. This article breaks down the critical difference between these two methods, when each one makes sense, why the "HIFO" and "LIFO" methods you might have used before aren't actually IRS-approved, and what you need to do before 2026 to lock in the most tax-efficient approach while you still have time to clean up your records.
