 Most wives: I can’t stand November, I hate it while he has that thing on his face!!!

My wife: bitch please 

Moustache to stay until 100k. https://image.nostr.build/10bf0ccb718908674c96692a4ac29e3e96ff5e2ea030873355cfa80c32192cd3.jpg  
 Observed a colleague teaching last week, embarrassingly bad,

Feedback same member of staff gave students on my module, embarrassingly bad.

Hmmm, who will be the examiner for this Friday’s doctoral viva? oh, I wasn’t expecting it to be THAT member of staff, 

Holiday crap this is going to be fun. 
 Still trying to get cashu on my node, lnbits is still 19% downloaded. 😞

 Went to an actual butcher and picked up some #beefstr for #slowcookingsunday, shin of beef and oxtail. Stout ready and waiting for the braising. #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/ca1750bea08b6bd0a6759891764506d866284ce92aceec4a0cbf42d4aea607c1.jpg  
 Most people: come on, we can do it, we can buy our coffee with #bitcoin
@saylor : Bitcoin is property, no one buys coffee with their fifth avenue real estate.
Me: let’s give unit of account some attention!!!!!

 GM nostriches, happy Saturday freaks. Lovely morning with #coffeechain, the garden, the sun (#catstrs just out of shot). Magnolias bloomed earlier this week. https://image.nostr.build/f705dcca02bbb8ec87ffb73235001a8d4b6343c0a358785ff380e5b326c9078f.jpg  
 I’ve just thrown in $50 extra in my tax bill to cover those nostr zaps!!! 
 So, we broke $70k this week? Fuck yeah I’m celebrating with a scotch during my Friday night meeting. #bitcoin #mildlyunprofessional. https://image.nostr.build/ad7389cb1ff8a0d424b4c766a101be52e873b3fb7f5b48f76368400a18d97c07.jpg https://image.nostr.build/fce056b26f1fe0d3063692f161027f20fe30b15e05f504e434351f2561c016e2.jpg  
 Ngl, meeting went pretty well. Maybe I’m on to something. 
 Hmmm, work meeting at 5pm on a Friday, definitely going home for the meeting but question is, do I have a pint as my beverage or an “up another notch scotch”? Have yet reached an inflation adjusted all time high to crack open the Rye whisky. #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/ade5b0a9a694ca79fff8b8d277c21b28eff3d79bc13e73797a9793557b10e5d0.jpg  
 Happy Friday Freaks and (sorry @odell for taking your line) and GM nostriches. Thanks @BTCsessions  and Simply #Bitcoin for the best title of an episode ever. Best of luck Craig with blaming others for forging documents you forged yourself. FYI neither the law nor Bitcoin should be lied to. https://fountain.fm/episode/OHWrcWjg6N6UC5U4nXcw 
 Hmmm, what should my bitcoin target be? Work out the #bitcoin value of your altcoin bag (cringe) was in Nov21, that is the prize you could have won if you hadn’t been distracted, now get to it and try and get back to where you theoretically were. 

However, likely when you got that last high to transform all that into #bitcoin, you’d have to sell your whole bag. Let’s say 60% of the portfolio was alts (cringe). Likely a big chunk of this was profit, meaning at least 20% (if not 40%) of that would be cap gains tax, SO

Take 12% off that last cycle peak total of #bitcoin to be realistic about what your peak holdings actually were. Now, would you have sold to cash at this point? Because if you didn’t, you’d be stung with a nasty tax bill a year later when values were in the toilet (nightmare)

Things are good, you made it through the bear market, you escaped the often overlooked tax trap and hopefully your portfolio is now a little more #bitcoin heavy and you have more than you did in November 2021.

Don’t think about the “what could have been”, be grateful for what you have learnt, keep learning, and Stay humble and stake sats.

 Bitcoin: delivering “Friday energy” everyday of the week for around 18 months in a 4 year cycle. The remaining 30 months? i
Well, they certainly build character. 
 No need for the price antics, be concerned about the fiat maxis (gbp) and their loss of purchasing power over just the last 6 months. Has your major store of value (your house) gone up sufficiently to offset this decline? Think about it. #bitcoin #runyoufool away from fiat UoA https://image.nostr.build/6b5b70776b2b330315d53866afdc96d3a6d4748f0a5de0622e6418796667bf37.jpg  
 Oh nostr, I love that no one I actually know is on here (my brother follows me on Twitter, the rest of the family may have unfollowed me, but I value each of your opinions. 

It gives me the freedom to post what I truly want, such as a response to the bbc headlines that are going on at the moment, although still I might not share THAT particular opinion, however, makes you wonder, what the HELL are they not telling us. 
 😘 
 Gm nostriches, early start, being woken by the thought of no muffins left for the kids lunch….. hmmm, put something together that she probably won’t eat, buy something from the shop (fiat garbage) or, well I’m already awake, might as well get my bake on. #carrotcake #grownostr #bakestr https://image.nostr.build/fdc2793b2ecf36141aaf9c2de87ace369cc742960cd9067414feb3e973239f8f.jpg

 Observed one of my colleague today (per review bullshit), ngl, I may not be the best employee, but I can now confirm, I’m not the worst!!!! 
 Your turned the money printer into something that doesn’t help the bankers? How dare you!!!! 
 Man, I must be getting old, British pounds are buying as many sats as they did in the good old days. #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/5d0cad17744426e706a696557698e5db8cc24b73957cf4b635e32d6152bf868a.jpg  
 the Collectivists are coming for your worth whether you break the law or not.  
 Taking the wealth of those who create it. 
 Speculate if you must, but save in #Bitcoin.

 Wake up, realise you’re a 40 year dude with man bun, then face palm yourself.

 Gm. $70k. 🚀

 Gm nostriches, have an awesome day, enjoy the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. If you happen to get THAT phone call from that normie friend, obviously stay humble and help them out, but also consider this…… 

I spoke to you about #bitcoin because I consider it important. You did not value my opinion enough to go and explore the topic yourself to try and understand why? You didn’t have the mental curiosity to question your beliefs and find out something new. 

I cannot teach you anything (Archimedes), I can’t make you understand anything. It is down to you to ask questions, listen, watch, read, make an effort to get your own answers. Is it a good time to buy? I’m not going to give you an answer. It might have been a good time to buy with hindsight.

Asking me again in 2 years and today may have been a good time to buy, but unless you understand why you’re buying #bitcoin, you probably shouldn’t. All I ask is you show me the courtesy of spending a little time looking into this subject before the next time you ask.

A lack of an inquisitive nature providing the drive to want to learn and better yourself is actually a much bigger issue than whether now is or is not a good time to buy an asset to protect your time value that you don’t understand. Think about THIS before asking anymore questions. https://x.com/_bitcoinmatrix/status/1690842150877933568?s=46 
 Oh yes. 
 Love them, indifferent to them or hate them, ETFs certainly make Monday mornings a lot more exciting!!!! #bitcoin #anotherath? 
 Happy Sunday Freak 
 Inflation is expropriation of life time. 
 Debasement of the value of your time. 
 Anyone else remember crazy price actions over the weekend, only to be returned back to where it was on Friday afternoon, once the CME gap closed? Ah the good old days. #bitcoin 
 Bull market eyewear? I may not say anything about all time highs, but there wi be signs. https://image.nostr.build/a6fab07e1df262a8972f5851c415f59b88c760dd870be805c9b2d44bfe8cdab5.jpg  
 @BTCsessions and the awesome other guests. Loved the show, the balance of @Jeff Booth ’s tech is deflationary fighting up against inflationary currencies is hitting harder every day. Add in the problems being caused in SMEs, and there may be a way out for non @saylor  entrepreneurs. https://fountain.fm/episode/X3qiBD88GqNdNSecjA5a

 The bank runs will continue until bankers either improve reserve levels or we simply take their money away from them…. Cheers @ODELL and @MartyBent #bitcoin https://fountain.fm/clip/ZtZgWsCfOqmkjbWJigdY 
 So, serious question, if I first bought 
in April 2020, have been buying consistently ever since, when #bitcoin breaches $125k, exactly how many border collies can I get before my wife throws me out?

 If you hold #bitcoin you’re shorting central banks, billionaires, politicians and woke people.

 Just realised my only fiat mine friend is too fiat to spend my time with and while he probably didn’t mean it (a
Symptom of fiat mind disease) a fucking insulting asshole. Time to find irl Bitcoin friends.

 I have a lanyard for my ledger, but I also have nothing on my ledger, so steal away my crypto friend, you f’ing idiot!!!!
