 How early are we?

 I wonder what Hal would’ve made of this era. 
 We know one things for sure. 

He’d be running Bitcoin. 
 No matter how new to bitcoin you are or how OG you are. 

Whether you’re billionaire class or working class. 

Everyone gets bitcoin today at the same price. 

That is not how fiat, private equity, and publicly traded securities work. 
 I run my own home Microstrategy.

I make shit for revenue every quarter.

I issue a sizable amount of debt.

I keep stacking corn.

 Good Luck

 Personally, I like a quick summation to then go to a better client for reading longer form content. 

Twitter-like clients are designed for comments and conversations and that’s what mode my brain is in. 
 If you gift someone a loaded SATSCARD, how does the government expect this action to be declared ... 
 You could ask the same for any bearer asset. The short answer is, it’s none of their fucking business. 
 Yes, hypothetically I guess one could make the claim that they no longer own those sats in some future tax court. 

However, it’s not some silver bullet that thwarts the state from making bunk claims with misinterpreted Chainalysis data (see Hamas crypto funding debacle.) 

And as it currently stands, the low hanging fruit from a tax standpoint is legacy on and off ramps, not P2P transactions, where things like the satscard sits or opendime sit. 

Just some thoughts. 
 Before this people gifted/exchanged paper wallets and there were also Casascius coins. Those things come to mind that I believe also fit this criteria. 
 2013: Altcoins
2017: Forks & ICOs
2021: DeFi & NFTs

What will 2025’s scam du jour be? 
 Whatever it is, Coinbase will probably run commercials for it. You see they are bundling their “Top 50” tokens into an index token… 😂

 Beautiful story. Totally agree. These are the stories that matter. 👊💜 
 I’m grateful for Nostr.

 Back down to $86k. #Bitcoin is dead. Pack it up bois, we had a good run. See you in 2028. 🤝 
 $58K Incoming 
 I’m assuming Xitter is a scam-laden FOMO fest these days. 
 Bitcoin's market cap is like 60% of the total crypto industry's market cap. That is how far ahead... 
 How hard money operates. 
 Never mind your charts. Bitcoin and stock market water cooler talk has started in the offices across the country. Stack accordingly. 
 That too! 👊 
 The texts and random calls from cousins you haven’t spoken to in over two years will begin once we break $100K. 😂👊 
 That’s crazy, did you catch the game last night?

 Right, if you’re using the value/gains of an investment to do something else, great have fun with that. 

If you sell a million dollars worth of corn, congratulations. Now what’s the plan? Because you’re now the proud owner of a highly depreciating currency that needs to be put somewhere so it doesn’t melt on you, oh and it was already in the hardest money ever discovered.

 The pure cringe it was then has now synthesized into a new form of ultra-cringe previously unknown to mankind. 
 Kinda crazy to get zapped the hardest money in the history of the civilization for posting a note stating the obvious, but here we are, and it’s working. 💜
