 gm, good people. ☕️☀️ 
 Lord, invest in me the spirit of @ODELL so that I might stay humble. Amen. 
 It’s like being able to peak behind the clown curtain.

 When the price rips and you’re happy, but you had non-zero IRS tokens you could have traded, so you’re sad. #tunestr

 I’m still seeing notes and replies fail to post when using @damus. Maybe it’s some edge case conflict between the client and Haven, @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻?

 You’re not. To my knowledge, it’s all or nothing.

 How many financial advisors and planners are there in the US?

> According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of May 2021, there were approximately 330,300 personal financial advisors employed in the United States. However, this number may not reflect the total number of financial advisors and planners in the US, as it only accounts for those who are employed and does not include those who are self-employed or work part-time.

> The Financial Planning Association (FPA) estimates that there are over 300,000 financial planners in the US, while the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board reports that there are over 93,000 CFP professionals in the US, as of 2022.

> The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also reports that, as of 2022, there were over 13,900 registered investment advisers (RIAs) in the US, employing over 835,000 people, including financial advisors and planners.

> It's worth noting that the exact number of financial advisors and planners in the US is difficult to determine, as there is no centralized registry and many professionals may hold multiple certifications or designations.

As much as we may find them moot, odds are > 99% will need to upskill on Bitcoin to serve their clients. Opportunity. 
 Good morning nostr 💜🌅 Happy Sunday. 🙏🍑 
 Just rolled off a round, myself, for the same thing(s). This time is proving stubborn. No fun. Hope you feel better soon.

 gm, good people. ☕️☀️ 
 Anyway to disable 0xChats "moments" feature?  Much rather keep a chat client a chat client... 
 Hard agree.  @0xchat's UI is coming along really nicely in the last few releases, but Moments feels like it's trying to bolt on a full client as an afterthought. 
 Y’all mentally prepared for the 40% drawback that will follow? 
 I'm banking on it. Dry powder incoming. 
 #LittleMan requested a volcano birthday cake, and @samah went above and beyond. Transport to the park where we had the party was touch and go. Mission successful. 🌋 https://i.nostr.build/8xhceEs9aWwroMOY.jpg https://i.nostr.build/iWd7BrCyyRhNXknJ.jpg  
 “In many respects, young men have faced down a liberal cultural order that has reduced them to objects of scorn. For a majority of young male voters, the choice to send a message back was clear.”

 gm, good people. ☕️☀️ 
 However genuine or fleeting, however deserved or misplaced the origin, there’s more hope and energy in Bitcoiner circles than I’ve seen in a while. And I’m not talking about price.

Let’s. Fucking. Go. 👊🏻

 Oof. I guess that means no more Web5.

 Six weeks ‘til Christmas, and its shorts weather in Nashville. Sus. 
 All my years in Toronto and Chicago spoiled me—on that front.

 I lol’d. Then I read the comments. They did not bring their best. 
 All I want for Christmas is 58K. 🎅🏻

 He has definitely gone way off the rails. But note that he's been gone from Microsoft for maybe 15 years? 
 Fair point. 
 I've seen a couple of Polymarket-like projects built on Bitcoin floating around, but I've lost the URLs. Halp?

 Cheers. You use it? Positive experience? 
 Do you think that's the government's decision to make, or their parents? 
 What? 
 I can only imagine how it feels as a citizen. It's heartbreaking to watch what's become of (at least large parts of) Australia since 2020. Godspeed, friend.
