 Tempted to buy alt coins. 

Talk me out of it...  
 Gamble at an actual bitcoin casino instead. You'll probably lose your sats playing black jack too, but at least it's honest.

Shitcoins are not honest. They are pump 'n dump schemes. 
 I don't know, maybe I'm biased, but BlueSky is awful. 
 Seems like a good time to repost this.

 Thank you.

 Homes depriciate. That's why repairs cost so much. They lose value when you compare them to gold too, but because fiat is the de-facto unit of account, people think homes appreciate. 

It's bullshit. Fiat and homes both fall, but fiat falls faster. 
 We shouldn’t leave X just because it’s frustrating. Algorithms may push opposing voices, but ...

Nobody sees my posts on Xtwitter anyway. 
 Keep up the good work.

 I'm sure I'll love it, but we need this in a cartoon form, like a nostr:nprofile1qqswft34d8euqh383rns727g6dmhu8styneuglznjk28zkj7u0fuaygprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuenjv93hgctvd9ax2epwdejhgqg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8xetvvckkget5v4ex66twv4jzuer9qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aq8ll5ue version. 
 Part of me hopes that we drop to $85k and chop around there for a few months and establish an $85... 
 We'll probably get stuck with the 98k gang and it will be excruciating. 
 Stablecoins are monetizing the debt in a sly, round-about way.


#Bitcoin fixes this(at least protects us from this), but it will debase the dollar.
 
Most of the world is on the dollar-fiat standard.
 
Inflation was the biggest issue in the US election, but it's getting accelerated instead of fixed.

We're gonna make it, but what will the people on a fiat standard do?

These questions are starting to worry me. I don't really want everyone else "to have fun staying poor."

I've been poor. It's not fun. 
 40M to make a coinflip for a job that pays 400k sounds a lot like a student loan. 
 You don’t “buy” BTC.
You sell 💩 
 Don't "buy bitcoin." Sale fiat.

 I'm thinking about stacking a little less snowballing my debt, for peace of mind too. 
 My life seems exciting, but in reality, I''ve spent all weekend cleaning my garage. 
 I said that $100k would be when normies start to wake back up. Looking that way 
 For sure. 
 It’s gettin earlier and earlier in Moscow 
 Seriously.

 I don't get it.

I thought 21 million was our favorite number. 
 I run nostrudel on Start9 on the clearnet and I didn't know all this stuff. I need to mess around with it.

 I've got nothing then. 
 This is wild actually.

 That's why I like comparing the total bitcoin market cap to the gold total market cap. The all time high is around 10% by that standard.

When #bitcoin becomes more valuable than gold, gold might be 30k an ounnce. It's not a perfect yardstick, but it's better than fiat.

 It goes by so fast. 
 December 2017 felt exactly like now. Pure euphoria and then .. bloody Christmas

 That was wild. 
 Ops be like, price doesn’t matter 😩 
 The price matters, but so do dozens of other numbers.

 I mean the dollar is broken. 30 oz. of gold is the real price that matters. :) 
 I've noticed my healthcare costs go up by 10-15% per year, but very few people talk about it.

Thank you for bringing clarity to this issue.

One problem seems to be governments budget based on CPI, but don't consider actual price increases year over year, but the discrepency is obvious if you run the numbers. 
 What do you want for Christmas?

 Cold Card Q. 
 What do you think about theEFF's dice list to create secure passwords?

Bitwarden/Vaultwarden can create these with a click of a button too.

 That view is like 10x better than the Grand Canyon. 
 Our average user spends about $4 per month, but your mileage may vary. 
 This is such a great deal.

 I just spent an hour looking for my Tapsigner. My sats were safe. I have the backup, but it would be a huge pain in the ass to recover.

I need a better way of keeping track of these things.😬

 How do you pay bills? I used to use Bitrefill until they stopped the service and the fiat rails on Fold don't work for me for some reason. 
 Damn, you're hardcore. It would take me at least a week to get paper cash with Bisq and my wife wouldn't be too happy about it. 😂 
 This is the signal to sell your system76 and buy Bitcoin  
 My laptop died. I thought about buying a System76, but the truth is I hate laptop keyboards so I decided to hook up an ergonomic keyboard to my tablet and write on Trillium notes and VS Code on my Umbrel.

I like it much better than my old laptop.

 Best part is, I didn't even need to enter my key into the app.

 The old app was pretty easy tooo, but the UX is better now and they seem to have fixed some bugs. 
 I'll also be testing with you bro, yakiHonne to the moon and beyond  
 Awesome! Let me know if you need any help. 
 Nice 👍 
Keep up the good work, it's fantastic  
 Thank you. 
 What is your preferred Bitcoin multi-sig tech provider? 

Looking at a few options for a friend (... 
 I tried nunchuck again. They let you  practice with testnet now!

This is awesome because it allows you to learn multisig with no risk.
