Being the man my dog thought I was (also GFY) he liked knots

Have been doing this, but useful to see it laid out simply and logically by a uk tax accountant. #bitcoin https://x.com/thesecretinves2/status/1845138463202607295

Great work nostr:npub1s63scxcxwte2jyend9zge8slsn8f6hexc9nkrkvwqq9ck88ctuhq39tl0j with getting matthew on the show, impressively intelligent and based accountant/economist 2nd undergrad. Awesome stories about him as a young kid being curious and attending dev meetings.

From my experience, amazing how many students are lapping up Keynesian bullshit and accepting their place in the fiat meat grinder. #bitcoin #laurier https://fountain.fm/episode/c1nYC8PfwLjteiTTW2qm

12 years ago today, I got a call from labour suite that my (then) girlfriend was going into labour and I needed to get there quickly. I got up, had a shower, fed the dog and took him for a walk and got there in time for the birth. I’ve got some stick for it, but I’d make the same choice again, dogs before sprogs . #dogstr #grownostr

Interesting reading, with so few interviews with real substance, good to get a bit of info, even if it is from the dodgy British journalists. #theweek

So, Kamala Harris’s father was a Marxist economist….. so thought I’d have a little look….

“The basic objective of the economy as conceived in such a system is consumption;

accumulation is an incidental feature of individuals' consumption decisions and comes to an end in the stationary state” (Harris 1975)

Tax breaks for new parents, 25k for first time buyers, magicking money out of thin, and then taxing people wildly as they do this consumption, Kamala’s policies begin to make sense. #accelerate #bitcoin #grownostr

GE nostriches, cheeky evening #beerstr while making dinner for the fam. #oldtom followed by #avacadobacon for the win.

Practically I can’t move countries either, but I’ll work out how to financially and mentally move out. If I “earn” less money, I can pay less tax….

Fingers crossed they’re referring to my binance account, which I only use for usdc…… just hoping they’re as inept with blockchain heuristics as they are with everything else. Time to shut down all old accounts.

Gm nostriches. Thought it was one of those “complete your self assessment early” emails from HMRC, but then I opened it, “our system has identified”, what the fuck!!!! Labour have completed their first 100 days (and screwed up everything), and now they’ve got their greedy little thieving hands out stretched, looking for what else they can take. Sorry boss, but I lost my ledger (glib comment, no my actual response)!!!!

Time to formulate an exit plan.

As Karl popper suggested, we cannot know something to be true. We can only reject the null hypothesis, that there is no relation between two variables. And we all know Craig Wright is not Satoshi, proved by law. And that is enough for me. If anyone else is Satoshi, that’s cool, but I’m happy knowing what I know.

You know what I don’t miss? Blue checks, adverts and the algorithm.

FCA “protecting us” by removing our freedom.

“It’s not about the sticker, it’s about sending a message” the Joker 🃏 after receiving a nostr:npub1ndketdm2qyv35nrhsxzks8kh7w7w6tll4rjp29hv0qjqkgfjsh6snmgk2v disruption package (the anarchists equivalent to a care package) and explaining my he needs even more stickers to his family 😎. #bitcoin

The pain makes is even funnier.

Such an awful restriction of kyc freedoms, kudos to this guy. The shop

Owner of my local one said loads of people used it, that’s loads of people who can no longer easily exchange shit gbp for hard currency.

99% of peer reviewed research agrees with the view point of their finding body. Motivation to apply for research funding is currently zero for me!!!!

Gm nostriches, fyi you’ll never (within all logical scenarios) have to be rescued from a #bitcoin mine. Stay away from the yellow metal, that stuff is dangerous!!!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8jdwxdl5no.amp

High fees and two blocks in the last two hours…….. miners happy ish, preparing for a run of quick blocks. Wife just came in so got a chance to explain the #bitcoin blockchain to her, and she said it was “interesting”…… I’m not sure I believed her.

Finally getting out on the #bikestr for fitness, fun and getting the head reset. Look after yourselves nostriches, I hope you have people around you that care, but chances are they have their shit they’re dealing with, so you need to be selfish, which is not a bad thing. #aynrand #grownostr. 🫡🙌

Why don’t you eat bread? They ask.

Turns out it has nothing to do with the wheat, gluten, carbs or whatever, but more to do with all the shit they put into even the healthy wholewheat versions they sell you and this is “British bread”. #fiatfood nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech

The best bit, the student who won last year snagged himself 420k sats and he said he wasn’t going to sell, this year closer to 164k sats.

Hid a seedphrase of a wallet in material to get students to engage with the material earlier in the module. They found the word and swept the wallet! https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/universities-should-offer-bitcoin-bounties-to-students

They even claimed it!!! Best £100 I spend each year setting students a challenge, getting them covering the material and giving them motivation to I learn what bitcoin is, win win win. And they start with self custody. #bitcoin

Gm nostriches, interesting piece on the bbc, rather less rich bashing than normal. Fascinating how much labour will rely on the “super rich” to fund their schemes and the concern they will up and leave with any unfair tax rises!!!!!

I say, pay your fair share, which is actually much less than they currently do and let the government balance their budget rather than leach off the successful and productive.

#bitcoin is very mobile…. #grownostr https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqlvggr9qz5o.amp

Yeah, you may have something interesting in your inbox this morning, but I got a message from @saifedean. Mic 🎤 drop, my day is done. 🫡🙌 #bitcoin #fanboymoment #becool

Great rip from nostr:npub17934d3gls4x6f5e63y5p2pryk6l3m0qlzppufsnprnkw5h8099wsme7hnc with @slygoomba. Prepare for your citadel in the future….. also why was the bitcoiner rolling on the floor laughing?

Because he sold his chair. 🫡

Apologies, I’m not funny, but this made me smile.

Gm Nostriches, love those Sunday nights where parts of the world can’t wait for the market to open to start hoovering up the ‘corn causing a nice little pump into Monday morning. Don’t $ell guys, now is not the time. #uptober #bitcoin. But this isn’t yet the Monday morning I saunter in 3 hours late. That’s going to be next week.

I’ll tell the fam, dad’s got some family to reconnect with, but don’t ask me why I’m taking a bike and going via Colorado.

If it’s about understanding the problems that #Bitcoin fixes before adopting it. Think about where we were 4 years ago, no inflation spike, no seizure of assets (both international (Russian) or individual (Canuck truckers)), no application of Bitcoin mining within power infrastructure.

The normies’ level of preparation is a world of different than last time. They now know they need an inflation hedge, they know they need to be able to control their assets, they may even realise bitcoin will not boil the oceans by 2020.

Thank you nostr:npub1849ntz6s6gxrunv9tunnlurvfx7xk0mwvtzz4m2y7fu8gt7408dqsl0qen and Car Gonzales for a new angle on the old “but this time is different” trope. Stay humble and be ready to accept the deniers with open arms, they knew not what they may now appreciate.

Love it when I get to see my relatives from the US when they come to visit, but not going to lie, I’d probably like seeing them more if they had brought some of my 2022 peony lane with them. nostr:npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8.

Suppose I’m just going to have to a) convince the family NC is a good holiday destination or

b) have a weekend where I’m an international wine courier.
