Nah thanks mate, I don’t need to go gambling with #bitcoin, I have a “good work pension”.
Ok then, let’s run the numbers
Contribute 8% with tax relief and work adds another 12%
OR You use 8% of your after tax income to buy Bitcoin.
Yes, even when starting a year later and not engaging in the fiat pension Ponzi scheme, you have 36% more in your pot and only 22% less if you started 2 years later. And this pot is YOURS.
Switching straight to #Bitcoin in 2018 would mean your pot was 83% bigger. For the work pension to match that they would have had to contribute an additional 25% of your annual income to your pension along with your 8% contribution. & where would that money come from? Others in the system, because it’s a ponzi! https://image.nostr.build/f4550fc6f4c2da63b5f74499d551cb7208eb308059e4b8dcde1ce530f675ae73.jpg
Gm Nostriches, monthly pay day, the first month since stopping my contribution to the work pension/pyramid/Ponzi scheme, so nice little pay rise, thank you very much! Now off to prime @coincorner for my #votewithbitcoin July the 4th, Independence Day #ukgeneralelection buy!!!! #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/8a9910e0b0b52f0df677cbb8ce10e546ec21c908cdd7cb465ea478df934b8568.jpg
Gm nostriches,
In 2 week, On the 4th of July it is the British general election, an interesting date to choose.
By all means, use your vote, but also use the day to vote with your money.
Declare independence from the Great British pound, prepare yourself to make a purchase on the 4th. I vote #bitcoin
Two weeks to go, register to vote (if you want)
But make sure you’re ready with an exchange (my personal favourite is @coincorner) with some dirty fiat in the account ready to smash buy, then remember withdraw to a nice #coldcArd @Coinkite
If your friend have voter apathy, let them know about a vote for orange that will really make a difference. Also send a email to your candidates, cheers @bitcoinpolicyuk and @fnewhttps://x.com/freddienew/status/1803348849932603510?s=46https://image.nostr.build/8a9910e0b0b52f0df677cbb8ce10e546ec21c908cdd7cb465ea478df934b8568.jpg
I find myself doing some really random crap on ZBD to earn a few
Sats, would like give more attention to adverts if I got money, rather than waiting to press skip!!!
What the most important reason you hold #bitcoin?
For me it is quite simply, the government can’t take it, either directly or through inflation.
If you can understand this, it just makes sense to get some.
Gm nostriches, can’t decide if this is a Keynesian article or not….. putting money in to create “growth”, when the business itself isn’t actually healthy or growing. Surely we grow as we innovate and sell more products….. or we buy #bitcoin as a company. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cl44edly2ryo.amp
Excited to receive my copy of @Svetski ‘s #bushidoofbitcoin. Happy for the included audio version, so it doesn’t have to collect as much dust as the current stack. I take my time to absorb and reflect, ok, I’m a slow reader as well, but that’s not the point!!! #bitcoin

GM nostriches!!!! Day late, but saw a picture and couldn’t resist. My father watching my girls do magic tricks, while on holiday he took us on the Sardinia, as he has done (not always to Sardinia) for the last 11 years. Be the father figure you want your kids want to aspire to being (or in my case parent). He has also never said “#Bitcoin, isn’t that for criminals?”, he was mining in the UK in 2017, legend. https://image.nostr.build/2f215dbe91d1d2f6f7c233bc1372d6c63dc76ee9ca3c5d1ebdb9b53b6d69696f.jpg
Take out $100k loan for university, drop out before the first tuition fee is due, ape into the coin, hit nostr and bitcoin books and what once was a clueless student is well on the way to being on the path to success.
Ga nostriches!!!! 118x multiplier would then mean we need less than $1 billion net inflows in a day to have the single bestest daily increase in market cap for #bitcoin……. Spread that across say 50 million #bitcoin holders.
So peeps, can each of us muster a $20 dollar buy on the same day? Think about it. https://image.nostr.build/31508784f274ccfe6b981fdf508c1e33a38e5fa713fd1b40c06a174126126063.jpg
Was wondering whether to go #casa or #unchained for a multisig solution, and then I got my answer from Mr. McCormick. Thank you Marty for the white pill, being able to pick my kids up from school and even go on a school trip with them is definitely something #bitcoin is giving me, and them, and I appreciate something my father wasn’t able to do while chasing a fiat cushion. https://fountain.fm/clip/RkNPWtCWVAjhgIgy4U8Q
GA legends, particularly the Bitcoin dads out there. Impressive Father’s Day cards this year. Also got a book saying I was a #bitcoin legend and she’s proud of me trying to be an author…... May have started educating next year’s teacher, she now knows satoshi’s are fractions of a bitcoin. We all start somewhere. https://image.nostr.build/9f084f6d12ee9907fa903802bb7d8123582c3387006eced56a70845dbf1af8c1.jpg
Apologies, figures may be a touch rustic (although yahoo finance, up to 5th of June), however:
On February 1st 2021 #bitcoin price went up 19% in a day. This resulted in a market cap increase of $140.6 billion! Biggest in history. It has been 1127 days since then.
Previous biggest gaps were 1122 days Jan 2021, 1239 days on July 2017.
At current circulation, we need increase of $7200 in a day or around 10%.
Also, there has never been more time since than last 10% candle than it has today at 485 days. https://image.nostr.build/63902bcde1af6e23e01fca4d254b89d5a16e804e0e2eba9620ef39ded7e76431.jpg
Gm nostriches. Going to be a fun Friday, have some random analysis I want to run on my #Bitcoin set and then off to my kids’ school for a Father’s Day celebration. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a Bitcoin dad to befriend? #catstr indifferent. #grownostr

Gm nostriches. FYI, 4 years ago today you could buy 0.2btc for around £1.5k. It felt expensive,but that was only because I hadn’t put in enough work.
Today that is still worth 0.2btc.
“What’s really gonna bake your noodle is” 0.2btc now takes £11,100 to buy, however, that is actually only worth £9064.81 in 2020 GBP.
This isn’t about #bitcoin number go up, it is escaping the value of your fiat currency heading to zero. https://image.nostr.build/adb834f1cbaf2de4be21715eee4c2c080109dc3ff6de3f3feda2e30d44ac677d.jpg
If I don’t want to outsource any decisions that will impact me or my family, why would I want to take part in this sham process of “electing” a group of people, who are over paid and under qualified to spend my money on things that won’t affect them or they won’t use. #electionapathy #singleissuevoter #bitcoin
Gm nosriches. Another wild day in global politics that I’ve never been better positioned to not concern myself with (thank you Satoshi). Anyway, saw the Lib Dem’s manifesto and a meme template sprang to mind. I vote #bitcoin. Oh I also missed the “let’s rejoin europe” tagged on as the final item……. No, how about joining the superior “unit of account” market. https://image.nostr.build/36061a8dad8cf53ed117cbc1098ed9c7a53d452446052db975057ed21ee9f450.jpg
Bitcoiners commissioning high value art now is like the Medici commissioning the renaissance. Don’t just hodl, finance our transition into a new Age of Enlightenment. #bitcoin
Sent a bitcoin policy email to the Tory candidate who actually replied, see below. Interesting response although it definitely had a whiff of ChatGPT with references to illegal use. Also interesting how this was completely I consistent with what the party has actually done over the last 18 months on their road to the UK being a “crypto hub”
“Thank you for reaching out to me regarding the importance of Bitcoin and the potential benefits it can bring to our constituency and the broader UK economy. As an early adopter of Bitcoin, I am well aware of its transformative potential and the opportunities it presents.
Your points about Bitcoin's potential to drive economic growth, promote financial inclusion, impact green energy, and position the UK as a regulatory leader are well taken. Here is my stance on the key areas you highlighted:
1. **Economic Growth and Innovation**: Bitcoin and blockchain technology are indeed driving significant innovation in the financial sector. By supporting this industry, we can attract startups, create jobs, and foster a thriving ecosystem that positions the UK at the forefront of financial technology. I am committed to promoting policies that encourage innovation and support the growth of the Bitcoin industry.
2. **Financial Inclusion**: Bitcoin offers a unique opportunity to provide financial services to unbanked and underbanked populations. Promoting policies that encourage the use and understanding of Bitcoin can empower individuals who are currently excluded from traditional banking systems. This aligns with my commitment to enhancing financial inclusion and providing opportunities for all.
3. **Positive Impact on Green Energy**: The potential for Bitcoin mining to drive investment in renewable energy sources is significant. As miners seek cost-effective energy solutions, they increasingly turn to renewable energy, contributing to the growth of the green energy sector. This not only supports the UK's commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions but also provides a revenue source from otherwise stranded energy.
4. **Regulatory Leadership**: The UK has a unique opportunity to set a global standard for Bitcoin regulation. Sensible, well-balanced policies can protect consumers, prevent illicit activities, and foster innovation. By taking a proactive approach, we can ensure the UK remains a competitive and attractive environment for Bitcoin businesses.
However, I am also aware of the illegal reasons some people purchase Bitcoin. This underscores the need for effective legislation to prevent illicit activities and protect consumers. As part of my commitment to responsible innovation, I support the development of a robust regulatory framework that addresses these concerns while promoting the positive uses of Bitcoin.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to engaging further on this topic and exploring how we can leverage Bitcoin to benefit our constituency and the nation.
Best regards,
Johno Lee”
Orwell has some lines on this from “Coming up for air”, “Just a prison with the cells all in a row. A line of semidetached torture-chambers where the poor little five-to-ten-pound-a-weekers quake and shiver, every one of them with the boss twisting his tail and his wife riding him like the nightmare and the kids sucking his blood like leeches.” You can see how he ended up with 1984.
What’s in the orange box? the family ask.
Inspiration, creativity, hope, freedom, clean energy?
Yes, and time with you ❤️, so many things to provide the samurai with powers he, they (samourai wallet) and we need to get the job Satoshi started done . Thank Satoshi.
Love hearing things from Oslo freedom forum alongside @lyuda_kozlovska , the freedom aspects of #bitcoin provides so much new meaning to the research and work I do. Thank you. The secret joys of the orange box.
Appreciate your work @MADEX . Enjoy @BTCPrague , fantastic city https://image.nostr.build/703c9f270b359a632f556b35d95a78084582dd9790f624cb527962db5d5c0a46.jpg
