Wow - that is aggressive...although surprised it isn't 50 bps pre-election #bitcoin
Completely...and in your face obviously. I spent the last 4 years wondering if time to move back to Texas or South Carolina...and entertained Tennessee and Wyoming briefly...but we do love Colorado and have family and friends here.
Been here over 24 years. And I'm native Texan...and it is freakin' HOT most of the year there!
Yep - interesting because I do have a portion of a rollover IRA with a platform...I've tried to orange-pill at least 3 of their people. First, when I rolled over a portion of my IRA to Bitcoin, and then again when I started getting out of (mostly woke) company positions...against their model allocations...and throwing more into the Fidelity BTC ETF. I try to explain to them that this isn't INVESTING...it is SAVING in the hardest asset on earth.
I do hold real bitcoin (IRA and non-IRA), but this current IRA can't be moved because I have a SEPP plan tied to it as part of early retirement (retired from consulting to start teaching/coaching tennis).
Again - I'm grateful both of my adult daughters' families were able to get into their homes before they got priced out...
Living this right now. One couple in our small group just had their RV stolen from an RV storage facility. They found it trashed and littered with both drugs and live rounds (no firearms there because they were probably actively using those to commit crimes elsewhere).
We love Colorado and Denver, but what the current administration is allowing is criminal...just like most every other Blue State governor and legislators. I'd like to purchase another home in a red state (like Texas, Tennessee, or South Carolina...too windy in Wyoming), but then I remember that all other assets are 💩 coins relative to #bitcoin
Just do simple analytics, you twits. Your policies are destroying our economy and making it dangerous for your citizens. I've started carrying again when we go out...and yes, I have a permit. And if things really go south...I have my own reloader!
Would love to substitute "bitcoin" for "gold" in this video, but Peter St. Onge nails why we could bail ourselves out of financial catastrophe if we simply took this approach.
I'd much rather create that bitcoin treasury reserve that could payoff that federal debt a lot faster if they had to hold it 20 years and could then use ONLY to pay off the debt.
Also implying that we would have a little more austerity and balance the budget going forward. I sure like that stat about government beiing 7x smaller (back in 1913).
Dreams - I know.
Nah - Hillary is still deliriously evil...Kamala is a bumbling incompetent that makes every other Peter principle candidate look like a genius w/integrity.
Seems like it would have to be a metal mallet - to ensure brain death to actually vote for Cackling Kamala.
Honestly - it is like evicted renters (or foreclosed homeowners) who maliciously destroy property as they get kicked out.
Based upon what some of the MSM, and billionaire investors, and Trump's and RFK's and Cynthia Lummis' speeches have outlined at the Bitcoin Conference...*IF* the US Government sells...they should be considered traitors to their country burning the last lifeline to get rid of our crushing debt.
I despise our litigious society, but I'm rooting for Tulsi on this one.
Europe and Canada already ahead of us on that one...
Well, maybe that...and not walking down a set of stairs.
Yep - and having it all happen right before an election. Volcker would have crushed it and not cared where the bodies fell vs sending us further down the spiral.
Still enough lemmings and "never Trumps" reading it, though.
Silver lining of an absolute catastrophe for humanity...
Been using Safeco insurance for many years, but they keep jacking up prices. When they put themselves up against other companies like Traveler's and American Modern, they still have the better deal.
But as an example, they raised my cabin insurance over 70%...two years in a row! First reason was COVID supply shock/cost of replacement materials and service, etc. Second reason was now saying at greater fire risk.
Now I see they've jacked up our home/auto insurance (for a 2015 Mini countryman and 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee)...difference is about $1,350 for the year.
Who else should I bid? Allstate, State Farm, etc have always been more expensive. Not sure if Geico covers everything...and concerned about denial of claims...even though we've rarely had to make claims in our 35+ years of carrying insurance.

Which is why I never watch/read it. I do follow ZeroHedge, Radar, DissentWatch and a few others. Would love to see more of those on nostr.
The extent of the insidious capture never fails to astound me...even though we've witnessed it for at least 8 years (arguably 16 years).
Yes...but I still like it and do not over-indulge. Generally have a bourbon every night and still like a good wine or porter/stout...and even like a refreshing gin/sparkling water with LMNT electrolytes.
Could I have used that money to buy more of the greatest asset on earth - yep. Could I drop a couple percentage body fat - yep. But it is worth the trade-off for me, and my wife and I love starting our day together with coffee and finishing with a drink. And that has been a part of a great recipe for marriage success for over 35 years.
Zelensky getting ready to have his "hold my beer" moment...
I guess we could always address our concern by stopping all funding immediately.
Gets us out of a forever war (unless it escalated to WW3) and allows US taxpayers to keep a few debased pennies still in their pocket.
Gee - wonder who would be too concerned if we did that??
I may still keep my LLCs…and my personal account…with Swan because I do sweep all of those into cold-storage and hold the keys. And wouldn’t even think about moving them until Unchained supports ACH and keeping low transaction fees.
I knew I could count on your ALL-CAP enthusiastic, Bitcoin-fundamentals response.
I've had a Swan IRA since early 2022. I'm debating moving over to Unchained...especially while Unchained running their special (through Aug 15th) and waiving significant fees.
You look at review sites and Swan outranks Unchained. So I would like some first-person experienced input.
If you are an Unchained client...
- Would you happily make the same choice?
- Do you have an Unchained IRA?
- What other Unchained products do you use?
I am considering making this move because...
- Swan still doesn't allow you to hold your own keys for a Bitcoin IRA due to lack of "regulatory clarity" if the IRS comes after you due to unfettered access to your Bitcoin (McNulty case). FYI, that isn't completely true...Swan will allow you to do a Checkbook IRA, but Unchained seems to provide a better "design" with the 2-of-3 multisig to allow them to audit transactions without them having control.
- When Swan went through their layoffs, they got rid of a lot of people providing the main reason for me staying so loyal to Swan (Dante, Callahan, Livera, etc). I valued Swan because of their significant contribution to Bitcoin education.
- Love him or not, Cory also made some great calls on rug-pulling companies. He has also been a great ambassador on MSM as he was making those calls. I haven't noticed whether there has been fallout since Swan itself "got out over their skis" and gambled on price to the point they need to now make headcount/budget cuts.
I do think there are still some great people at Swan - Lubka is always great and responsive and their support team is outstanding and highly competent. Their IRA and transaction fees are also very reasonable (and no fees to move to self-custody for non-IRA BTC). They also have ACH! I can't believe Unchained still doesn't have that capability?
Anyway, I'd love some thoughts on the Unchained IRA and Unchained in general. I like several of their folks, also...although was disappointed when Parker moved on (but like what he is doing at Zaprite...although I can't afford it for the transaction level of my own business).
This is the first time I've tagged people to encourage their input in the conversation, but I know there are some strong opinions from the likes of nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx.

Maybe you should fax the Fed your opinion, Paul.
