Catching up on some nostr:nprofile1qqsxpfwtq34xpnqy9djsg7jjayq3rrst95r4xflje0nqlwjjwhfhrycpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszyrhwden5te0dehjuum5wghxxu30zpzuyk - love this one! #EndTheFed and the IRS/taxes.
Starve the Fraud!
Gold and silver move first, then bitcoin…and how about those margin calls and insolvent banks?
Good one...
Umm...scammers going to scam. Simple yet lucrative example in Washington state.
It wasn't our year...but a single year was never our time horizon. Future is astonishingly bright.
Ummm....
Not sure this would warrant execution (although I agree it would be a very effective deterrent). Now - for pedophiles, drug/sex trafficking, traitors to the country - versus just massive fraud with things like medicaid/daycare even election fraud - executions should be in play. Fraud should face full confiscation of all wealth/assets and deportations...preferably to a jurisdiction that would jail them and use them as labor for some productivity and doing a revenue share on that production between the jurisdiction and the US (to further offset the costs of the fraud).
If only...oh, and this is obviously dated since $35 trillion is so "old news"
Most important note - we are getting played from BOTH sides of the aisle...
I am liking these CrowdHealth trends...beats those crazy insurance premiums with high deductibles and frequently denied claims.
I feel like this piece is "preaching to the choir" for most people in my network on nostr?

i’m not sure who needs to hear this, but there is nothing even remotely sophisticated about these endless somali and NGO/immigration frauds. not PPP, not food, not autism, and not daycare or welfare or SNAP or free rent.
it’s all blatant, hammer in the face stuff.
it did not go on for years because the perpetrators were crafty. it went on because the DA’s, prosecutors, police, judges, mayors, governors, and congress critters were relying on this demographic for vote harvesting.
all these politicians and purported public servants knew full well what was occuring.
they were all a part of it.

Honestly, I would never do it. Other than not releasing my guns if they demanded it, I'm pretty much try to abide by the law (although I also never would have taken a mandated vaccine).
But it would need thousands of people to do this to initiate change...
Astounding - yet why do we all assume people will get off scot-free?
I actually made my first (very committed) stack Jan 2022 around 42k...and stacked all the way down to the high 15ks...then all the way back up to 118k.
I stack a little bit at the beginning of each month AND convert my retirement check into BTC and use it with Billpay via Strike!
HODLing and trying to live on a bitcoin standard. It was a tough year to start living on a bitcoin standard, but HIFO has be tax loss harvesting those 118k sats (trying to see the silver lining and keep the long term in perspective).
When my dad died on active duty, my mother started receiving a death benefit intended for me. That was frittered away on a lot of indulgences - none of which made it to me.
When I moved in with my grandparents, they gave me control of the money at 12 yrs old. I was taught by them, so I only focused on saving as much as I could and laddering CDs.
When I got to college, I read plenty of Money magazine and Kiplingers. By the time I got out of college, I started investing in mutual funds...back in the day I had to send in a physical check. I picked them by again reading Money, Kiplingers, and heading to the library to read Morningstar...spent a lot of time reading forums on Prodigy (yep, dialup).
So started investing around 22 yrs old (1990). Stayed steady, frugal, never panic sold...and it served me well. We are not rich - but we own real assets and have no debt...and got 2 kids through college and building their own financial futures. Didn't start buying bitcoin until my mid-50s (Jan 2022), but I'm glad for the extra piece of mind of having an asset they can't debase.
Well - think CA and MN would have something to say about the driving part...and restaurants?
I do not completely agree - that doesn't mean he isn't self-interested. But his self-interest aligns with teaching/evangelizing that Bitcoin is perfect money that will save individuals/companies/sovereigns from financial collapse.
Does he benefit if more people do that - and use his products to do so - absolutely. Does it benefit mankind...absolutely.
Everything is good for Bitcoin, right? We all benefit greatly by Saylor championing our space. And yes...I own STRC, but the rest of my BTC is in cold storage or on hot wallets tied to Bill Pay for living on a bitcoin standard.
Some - but I think enough are skittish after the recent price action since the big liquidation in October...and some feel that whales carry enough weight with their trading to make the 4-yr cycle self-fulfilling. So they do not want to over-lever going into 2026.
Just keep buying the dip. Unfortunately, I'm down to nibbling at ETFs...and some MSTR/ASST...with my IRA because I have NO cash left.
Strap In! #bitcoin
