Started reading @erikcason #cryptosovereignty. Felt the need to remove more of my economic power from the fiat system and buying some more corn, not buying half and seeing if the price drops, completely price agnostic, dollar value is a concept that is not long for this world, 1 Bitcoin = 1 #bitcoin guys. Read some Bitcoin and maybe think about writing a little Bitcoin as well. Ideas are powerful. https://image.nostr.build/cb1c9f5cdb668abdccb9e6c606088887be694a95ca77c6a859cd447b0ce9491b.jpg
Larry Fink (2017): #bitcoin in an index of money launderers.
Today’s thought: #btc is an index of the conviction of every maxi who spent more than 10,000 hours researching the topic, and anyway, money launderers are also pretty resourceful.
GM nostriches. Great pod from WBD, big fan of Mark Moss and major signal, and appreciate @petermccormack ‘s view questioning him, but @AynRand’s “virtue of selfishness” makes more sense to me. People doing the mindless 9-5s aren’t selfish, they are rather a slave by not accepting they have agency in their own story. IMHO https://fountain.fm/episode/5YIUXWz1XkFuu7BE0sey
Loved this week’s rhr, Marty’s Mandibles “knowledgeable responses” will never fail to amuse me, “hmmm yeah, that is exactly like mandibles, I can really related to Lowell”. 🙌
Gm nostriches!!! Finally used Wasabi wallet to managed some funds from an exchange. Should have used earlier, SO straight forward. “Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy” Eric Hughes. We should not have to share our financial transactions with everyone or have limits placed on how much we can transact. #bitcoin #grownostr #maintainprivacy https://image.nostr.build/8ec3b0494823101b97f9e5331ab043ddf097c4e3317cd80d9f3e44cc7869fb91.jpg
Thank you for the ⚡️ , looks good so far. When uk removed btc ATMs, privacy enhancing technologies increased in value for me. Will let you know if I think of anything.
Gm nostriches, with a standard Thursday off, rolling into a 6 day weekend with a work closure on Tuesday. Hopefully be busy with a bit of British sun (no promises) but definitely lots of outside time with the fam. Make the most of your Oh so scarce and valuable time you bunch of legends, pretty sure we made it. #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/5788d115e25ce381042df45709e010b80c3408fcbfac0d2e66948cd128264cc6.jpg
GM nostriches, @madex turned down a whole #bitcoin for a copy of some work he’d already sold. Think about this the next time you consider flipping a shitcoin or getting one over on someone, with the aim of increasing your stack.
If we want Bitcoin to succeed, we need to be the person with integrity that we want to invite to our Bitcoin citadel who won’t report us of not taking the vaccine or running Bitcoin miners that have been outlawed. Thank you Madex, thank you Satoshi. https://image.nostr.build/d6338b7a512b7e14dccbafb18a15c59838c3dc48d1be43674b9342521b51174e.jpg
Gm nostriches, hoped you all managed to bag some super cheap @MADEX sticker packs before they were snapped up yesterday. If not, go get some art from the legend, it is currently very underpriced. Note to self, don’t think about what the #bitcoin I spent in November is now worth (but then, that means the art is now worth more as a result?) #btctracingcard #genesispacks https://image.nostr.build/97f6f9f5e9bdb3adbfd84e9b1e2f269ad338be7fc04c3ff1349d67509ebd7193.jpg
FYI, if you “rebalance” your portfolio, you’re selling the winners to buy the losers, as well as giving some of your gains to the government. They want you to rebalance, it is a fiat mindset. Don’t sell your #bitcoin. Sell your losers, capture the losses for tax purposes, increase your Bitcoin exposure. Not rocket science. https://image.nostr.build/8105073251a2df22f6fc6a29469e5acdeacf907660c51859a0f136719c69e2a3.gif
It hasn’t yet come to the UK, but very worrying developments happening in the EU, illegal cash and payments from unhosted wallets and the need to kyc your whole stack if you want to spend it (I’m over simplifying). Making me feel I actually (not joking), need to have a boating accident related conversation with my accountant. If the government knows exactly what I have, with locations confirmed, they could get grabby. Not a conspiracy theorist, but the government is broke and coming sniffing is not something I’d put past them….. #bitcoin https://x.com/freddienew/status/1771492593676714091?s=46https://image.nostr.build/1ee4d2aad24b68fc25284e0d957779c5fb7f7e6d8a4377a1a9db20ddfe5c755e.jpg
Gm nostriches!!!! For anyone from the UK, the fca and the uk government appear to be completely clueless if not completely blind to what #bitcoin is, if you haven’t already, would recommend following bitcoin policy uk and Freddie New, does some good podcasts as well. They have a Substack, some policy stuff to keep you informed, some research stuff. https://open.substack.com/pub/bitcoinpolicyuk?r=gnhl2&utm_medium=ios
Hey hey, someone else from the 90s, love the reference. Don’t worry maaaat, Tarquin went to the same school as me and played rugger, trust me bro, he’ll do what we told him to, just don’t ask him any questions.
