Now this makes all a good chunk of the shot trump does worth it. Role on January. Can’t wait for his first podcast. #freeross

If you use cpi, around $78k, if you use expansion of the money supply, or even all time high number of ounces of gold a bitcoin can purchase, it’s around $100k.

So yesterday was pretty fun, but it’s a marathon, not a sprint, and if any of you actually trust a politician to deliver and not just pursue their own goals, maybe you need to think about how that’s worked in the past.

This is a good spot to be in, but the education starts now, with maybe fewer hurdles being thrown at us, but hurdles are still present. People don’t like to accept that they got #bitcoin wrong, so be kind, guide them towards useful sources, reassure them that they are not late and every thinks they are late to start with and that is fine.

But also, stay humble and

Gm nostriches, happy first day of a new era.

But then, it’s not about the dollar value returns or “cashing out”

Over the 8 years, your #bitcoin savings went from being say 10% of your annual salary ($70k is around the average US income buying 10btc 🫡), to 10x your annual income. Add in some dca, and you are golden/orange, not a trump reference.

Now this is savings technology, and if you didn’t “cash out”, no capital gains bill. 😘

British pound reaches new all time low of only being worth 1705sats.

This is likely the new base. Exchange what was once sterling silver but is printed by the idiots in Westminster to waste on frivolities and the broken promises they made to win your votes.

When old Donnie was elected last time, 8th of November, 2016, #Bitcoin price was around $700.

A year later it was $7000.

5 weeks after this around the 17th of December, price turtle headed over $20k. That is a 28x.

Have a good evening, it might work out after all.

“The second amendment for money”. Thank you Eric and nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech, this was a great show and a powerful framing. https://fountain.fm/episode/fM2EUgCmnJwthSlWGpqa

Don’t look at the polls, if you want the answer to a global question, just have a look at #bitcoin.

The orange coin has spoken, honing in on a 10% day, British all time high just smashed.

Gm nostriches, so guys, are the government here to control our thoughts, all our companies and allow the defence companies to have lavish Christmas parties or will Rob Paul and Elon Musk start cutting government, replace taxes with tariff and #freeross on day one….. when I put it like that……

Interesting “poll insight” where men are more likely to lie about who they voted for. Makes sense, I’m wouldn’t tell my wife I did anything else than vote for Kamala…….. (joke, I would tell her).

Also, I’d also like to declare an early victory, in 2009 #bitcoin won the race to for our best chance for freedom. Long live president Nakamoto.

Does anyone realise, if Kamala wins, we’re almost certainly headed towards a #mandibles style collapse, and those with #bitcoin will be able to survive through the dark ages and be able to escape to their citadel outside major cities or in freer nations.

Act accordingly friend.

Now I didn’t have that on the “things you’re likely to note” in 2024 list

Gm my US nostriches. Imagine starting a website that for the vast majority of users was a net positive and then find yourself the victim of something similar to a federal government sting operation followed by a show trial to scare the rest of the world to stay away from this independent currency that governments can’t use to steal from you. (Apologies for missing a lot of nuance and details)

Trump is a risk, but he has said he will #freeross on day one and that can at least start working against the unelected power mongers who work against personal liberty. #bitcoin #voteforross

Gm nostriches.

And yesterday we have the education minister (uk), after saying no fee increases, university tuition fees are being raised in line with inflation (1.9%), sorry kids but there are some other factors (also, don’t go to uni, learn some life skills and read some books instead).

Since a freeze on tuition fees, prices compound so (actual) price inflation has not far off doubled (I know from my own wages or the amount of high rate tax), so a 1.9% increase is a drop in the bucket, add in the 1.5% employer national insurance rise. This is a world of pain for universities.

Then add in that the government’s beady eyes will soon be focusing on whether unis are delivering value for money for students….. there are a lot of “education institutions” that will be running scared and managers looking to bleed the academics even more. And that is not even including all those universities that are already in functionally insolvent. #grownostr #fallofrome (maybe a touch hyperbolic, but something will crumble)

Hey nostriches, we’re moving into the popcorn phase of the collapse, hold on tight.

Exchange theory of #Bitcoin and supporting those companies we want to survive into the future could be higher up on many bitcoiner’s list of priorities and I’ll take time to remind myself of this (also don’t buy crap with Bitcoin, but zap generational wealth, everyday). https://fountain.fm/episode/Lx5BJeaE0cUSfUqSGXJ0

Gm nostriches. Posted happy #Bitcoin white paper day on my normie instagram account. Waiting to see what “feedback” I get. Thank you Satoshi, I’m forever grateful for your gift to us all, my normie friends may not be ready, but their kids are going to love it. 🫡🙌

Gm nostriches, listening to what appears to be the most powerful person in the UK at the moment (who has comments on how difficult it was to manage her £86k salary when in opposition). Telling us she will use her infinite knowledge to steal/seize assets from your pay packet, your investments and anything your parents want to pass on.

Most worrying was talk of how she has changed passing on farmland. Why do government need to grab productive land? Hmmm socialists and controlling food production? That always worked well, just ask Ukrainians under Stalin… don’t worry, says comrade Starmin, as long as the “working people” are protected. #grownostr #coffeechain

Around 36 years ago I got my first dog and over 21 years ago she died, shit happens, but last night I had a dream she was in. Just the same attitude, real cartoonish, local hood swagger as she walked liked she owned the place but was super happy to just spend time with me and so so soft, as she always was. 😍

Looking forward to the next time one of my old dogs finds time in their busy afterlife to pay me a visit. #dogstr

Gm nostriches, hyperinflation doesn’t just happen when governments can’t pay their bills, but also when people lose faith in the currency. Faith in the currency is derived from faith in the government to build long term confidence.

Today, we wait, bated breath, for the words of Rachel Reeves on what she plans to do with our savings, our investments, our pensions and our future. We have no idea quite how low she will go to fill a £22-40 billion hole (of governement’s creation, labour and tories). Unless she walks a very fine line and provides the productive class an environment worth contributing to, they will either lose or seriously question any faith that remained.

If the productive class fully appreciate the situation, they will realise alternatives must be sought, alternatives that cannot be taxed (unfairly), seized or devalued. They will front run hyperinflation and go very very long #bitcoin.

Gm nostriches, deep breath, enjoy the calm, we’re above $70k, inches away from an ATH and media is silent, retail are focused on making ends meet and we’re here is Nostrovia, enjoying the calm seas and watching as we barrel towards our FIRE targets.

Boss asks why I’m late, I reply, you wouldn’t understand.

#bitcoin is for smart people.

Gm nostriches, she closes on Friday after a funny end of trading micro baby dump, chops across the weekend and then builds before US trading opens. To all the ETFs out there attempting to fill orders for the weekend’s purchases:

“hello darkness darkness my old friend”.

Gm nostriches, watching this video this mornjng and really enjoyed it, even if the guy is a touch boomer, warren buffet aligned for my liking, but I think worth a watch.

Loved that he overlooked the two prior and one later “bitcoin bubble” in his dataset. If those holders in 2017 held until today, they’d a) buy up about 4x and b) not have been bankrupted by a tax bill (never overlook HMRC or the IRS).

Bubbles burst, as speculative investors with withdrawal gains and are exit liquidity. Bitcoin price becomes overvalued due to speculation, but due to underlying value proposition, increases in value over time (nothing new to nostiches, but worth stating)

Don’t try and rebalance your portfolio, when things get frothy, reduce your DCA and don’t take on leverage, maybe buy “value stocks” (if there is still such a thing) and wait out the blow off top and smash buy and resume dca when prices return to and maybe dip below fair value (or ideally 200wma cheers nostr:npub1x685uqp8l53rlkmfkmkxu8qx68cz0fs3k8kn3m4nyjf7k2rchv6slr3g2v ).

So Brits, at all concerned about Wednesday’s budget after already seeing those crooks thinking charging VAT on the fees of the students they aren’t having to educate, to fund the students they are failing to educate but receive taxes for is acceptable?

“Indications are that this budget will feature flats rises on a “once in a generation” scale: uk there with Denis Healey’s in 1975 [when the economy was completely fucked]”

Gm nostriches, Trying to stay calm and in my lane, focusing upon writing rigourous and constructive research into bitcoin and bitcoin mining, but there is so much BAD research being push out there and HACK academics putting actually drivel on their CVs.

We had transactions being the same a swimming pools or iphones (flippin' de Vries), now we have.....

"Executing a single Bitcoin transaction equates approximately to the greenhouse gas emissions of a moderate-sized electric or gasoline engine sedan vehicle traveling between 1600 and 2600 km"

Hey guys, I can only respond to one paper at a time, I'm going to have to go full time "critical response guy" and fully ditch the teaching element of my job. Given the ethical quandry of supporting a system that gets kids into debt while providing them with limited skills, I'm not sure what excuses I have left......

Good bye to Great Britain, as 2 tier Kier lowers to bar of the rich people he aims to focus on to “working people, who can save a little bit, don’t invest anything and can’t afford any unexpected expenses, with a cheque”.

Does this mean basically the only people he won’t focus upon are those basically living pay cheque to pay cheque? The middle class are done in Britain.

Gm nostriches. Quiet calm Saturday morning before the joys of a weekend with the family begin. #coffeechain and #vforvendetta providing signal for maintaining a clear mind and questioning everything THEY attempt to feed us.

Trying to do some research and speak with some bitcoin companies, super simple stuff and I’m being held up by processes in the university…… if anyone wonders why research it so boring and slow, everything has to go through a committee to get approval first.

So if I stop being employed by a university, could I just act as an ethical researcher with integrity without the need to get approval from anyone? Hmmm, another reason to ditch the fiat mine. #bitcoin beckons me into the bright orange future.
