This paper discusses whether Bitcoin is entering a right- or left-translated cycle as of early March 2025. We argue based on six key macro and market indicators: M2 Global, Core PCE, NASDAQ Composite, ETF Net Flows, Unemployment Rate, and Fed Funds Rate. Both, right-translated (bullish scenario) and left-translated (bearish scenario) cases are considered, alongside key market implications.

You've been using StandupMail before?

Problem to solve: keeping a team of people working on the same project up-to-date in a simple way - overcoming barriers like availability and distribution of team members.

You might be right with your arguments if you see StandupMail as a tool replacing your Scrum standup. However, it's intended to be a tool for every team out there working on the same topic - most teams don't even know what a "SCRUM Standup" is (ask your sales team for example).

You can do weekly reports with StandupMail as well. You're free to schedule reminders/digests however you want under "settings".

I often hear that from smart engineers and like the DIY attitude. However, it's not a no-brainer to build a stable architecture to provide this service. We know, because we build many sw architectures before.

One of the ideas behind is, that we want to provide something using a communication channel people use every day rather than introducing a new one like Slack, Hipchat etc. However, StandupMail is a great addition to teams using those tools already.

Using StandupMail is not about sending in "dones" for every single task accomplished. It's more about a quick recap of what everyone thinks is important for the team to know to stay productive the next day and overlook the big picture of the project.

You're free to define when the team is expected to answer. It could be in the morning... during the day. Alle-in-one emails but also one email per task finished fitting into existing workflows.

However, the idea is to send a quick answer back, when your accomplishments are still "fresh" in your mind - Shouldn't take you longer than 5min.

And yes, workers should spend time with their families. I'm doing that right now, too :)

StandupMail shouldn't replace your standup. But think of situations when you're working with distributed teams. Many teams are working in this mode... not just development teams. Think of marketing, sales etc.

Besides pricing, the differences lie in the details, i.e. we allow for different types of bullets sent in etc. We're also fully focused on providing the best possible experience for teams.

It's 1 more aggregating many others you don't need then anymore. And, it's not only for coders :)

almost everything's been done before :)

thx :)
Re:StandupMail – Simple email-based productivity logging on Tuesday September 23, 2014 @11:29AM (#8355823)
yes! You'll be able to individually setup when the digest (and reminder emails) will get send out. This could be daily, weekly, monthly or just on choosen days like every Tuesday etc...
Re:StandupMail – Simple email-based productivity logging on Tuesday September 23, 2014 @11:26AM (#8355795)
Thanks for your great feedback! Some of the major problems we were facing with standup meetings were, that in "the real world" team member come late, work remotely etc... So the email-based solution always works for everyone (who has an email address...) without interrupting them from what they're currently working on.
Re:StandupMail – Simple email-based productivity logging on Tuesday September 23, 2014 @10:51AM (#8355599)
Well, we rather focus on teams than on "self-tracking".
Re:StandupMail – Simple email-based productivity logging on Tuesday September 23, 2014 @10:50AM (#8355596)
Good point. But, that's not the goal. It's rather an extension to the physical meeting if you're product team... But marketing, hr etc. teams shall use it as well for keeping their teams/departments up-to-date... and those guys never heard about "SCRUM", "agile" and "Standup Meetings" :)
Re:StandupMail – Simple email-based productivity logging on Tuesday September 23, 2014 @10:47AM (#8355584)
Thanks for your feedback! The pricing is not finally set up, but won't be over $4.5 per user per month. Would you like to see different plans fitting different team sizes or rather manually choose the number of users you need for your company?
