Galaxy Mind
 
Galaxy Mind (galaxymind.space) is a free set of Bitcoin tools. No accounts, no KYC, no tracking. The core of it is a community-submitted directory of 100+ merchants in around 19 countries who take bitcoin for physical goods, so the focus is on spending sats, not just stacking. It also has a buying gauge that reads ten market signals to answer whether now is a decent time to buy, with a seven-day forecast. A float tracker that estimates how much BTC is realistically still available to buy. A scoreboard comparing the Bitcoin treasury companies like Strategy, Metaplanet, Twenty One and Strive on the same mNAV basis. And an allocation tool for Bitcoin-adjacent securities. The data is timestamped and the methodology is public, so you can check the math yourself. Free to use, and free to embed on your own site.
