The thing I dislike about Nostr, and seem to overlook it, is just how broken it can get on the overall experience.

Notes and notifications not loading, unable to tag people etc.

At this point it's 50/50 if it works and I'm not sure what is causing this? Not opening websockets or what

And I'm like "it just part of the experience"

But it's technically challenging for someone whose never used computers the way you do

There's multiple ways to include growth analysis, different KPI including household incomes, job numbers and over quality of life.

Government did not inject liquidity into the system, the banks do that. Government allows it. They also create stimulus injection which is poorly managed decision making rather than a failure of the system. It's called greed.

Purchasing power fluctuates constantly, it's the same as FX. It errodes but can also rise in value. See China for example of FX manipulation and undervalued Riminbi

Inflation is a "theft" when policy makers and bankers abuse low interest rate periods and 'stimulus' as a means to print money with no attributable GDP to go with it.

Inflation is actually good, it improves the overall goods and services as long as the right central bank policies are issued by the fiscal policy makers. This is a concept non-graduates do not understand.

A Somalian Minnesota Daycare (SMA) is the ultimate Bitcoin Treasury Company (BTCo).

Here’s how SMABTCos change the game forever (watch out Michael Saylor) 👇

1. Zero Cost of Capital

Raise unlimited funds via fraudulent taxpayer reimbursements (no kids, no meals, no problem). No interest payments, no maturities, no dilution—pure free money from government programs. Saylor pays coupons on converts; SMA gets billions with zero WACC.

2. Infinite Flywheel Without Oversight

Claim phantom services → get paid instantly → acquire Bitcoin. Scale exponentially: one “daycare” pulls $4M+, networks hit $250M+ in Feeding Our Future alone. No board approval, no SEC filings, no bear market forced sales.

3. Negative Real Cost in Fiat Terms

Funds are printed/granted taxpayer dollars inflating away—effective negative yield. Stack sats with debasing currency at no hurdle rate. If BTC appreciates, infinite upside; if not, still living large until the feds knock. Ultimate leveraged Bitcoin play, zero downside risk (until caught).

I call this new strategy the Daycare Exploit Program Operating Risk-free Treasury.

Or DEPORT for short.

Bro the amount of millennials I know who have some type of shared custody agreement regarding a dog post breakup is sky high. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

Nah I'm good 😊

Depends on the type of risk you're concerned about and your time preference.

If you have a high time preference and you're more concerned with short term price fluctuations, you may want to hold cash or gold.

You may want to HODL Bitcoin if you have a low time preference and you're more concerned about confiscation, debanking, capital controls, or currency debasement.

It depends on your own personal risk assessment and also how much you can afford to lose. Jack Mallers and Michael Saylor for example, have enough Bitcoin that they can handle an 80% drawdown.

Sold some silver at $50, should have waited.

silver run feels like gamestop on steroids with a side of sovereign debt crisis

That has been my fear this far. The controllers can print a ton of money while keeping bitcoin at 100K for God knows how long

It'll be painful lol

That being said, it does feel like a bottom for bitcoin. It feels like it can go up anytime soon 🤷‍♂️

If you want to trade, you're better off holding the S&P 500. If you want to hold the S&P 500, you're better off holding gold. If you want to hold gold, you're better off holding Bitcoin.
