Happy new year and let freedom ring!

Happy new year and let freedom ring!

Happy New Year #nostr community! In 2025, let’s get to work scaling #bitcoin, support fellow plebs, educate newcomers, question fiat policies, and let freedom ring! Here’s to encouragement, innovation, and free speech

Just my two sats and wishing everyone much happiness, prosperity and blessings

HNY Mav! Let’s make 2025 make past bull runs look like a blip. Dream big and stack sats!

Great pod nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs! Bullish on acceleration in ETF flows, 90% probability of strategic bitcoin reserve, hope for congressional legislation to authorize further purchases, ease of self custody and multisig custody solutions, and outlook on growth of #nostr social protocol.

Favorite part was Matt repeatedly telling HODL that $1m #bitcoin is not a super cycle…

Great insights guys, can’t wait for what 2025 brings but excited to be on the same team!

10 year treasury at 4.5% is a canary in the coal mine nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs

Translates to higher mortgage rates and cost of ownership for homes

Stack sats, rent instead of buy in this rate environment , and call the bluff on the dollar

The narrative on #bitcoin becoming a source of support to efficient power generation is good to see. Nick Carter was right on this all along. This should continue to transform communities near these previously wasted energy sources

45% CAGR since inception of #bitcoin makes stacking sats compelling. No need to over complicate!

FIRE BTC Issue 13 just dropped. Here's a short summary 👇

Many personal finance bros on X swear by dividend-paying stocks, claiming they offer hassle-free cash flow for financial independence. But while dividends can seem appealing, they may actually hinder your progress toward FIRE. Here’s why:

Dividends don’t create new wealth—they simply shift value from the company to you. When a dividend is paid, the stock price drops by the same amount, leaving your total investment value unchanged. Worse, dividends in taxable accounts come with a tax burden, reducing the compounding power of your portfolio.

This inefficiency often means dividend-focused strategies yield lower total returns compared to growth-oriented investments. For example, over the last five years, $SCHD (a dividend ETF) returned 69% compared to $VTI's 93%. That difference translates to years of additional saving needed to reach your FIRE number.

And for those who criticize Bitcoin for not paying dividends: they’re missing the point. Bitcoin isn’t designed to throw off dividends—it’s like "cash money," offering returns through increased purchasing power over time. Whether through Bitcoin or growth-focused ETFs, you can create income by strategically selling small portions, benefiting from greater compounding and tax efficiency.

The key to reaching FIRE isn’t how your returns are delivered but how they compound. Dividends may feel like an easy win, but they can come at the cost of longer timelines to financial independence. Focus on assets with higher total returns during the accumulation phase and let compounding do the heavy lifting.

And, of course, for that purpose, bitcoin is the best.

Earning 5-7% annualized with dividends is less than the monetary base expansion so aggregate purchasing power declines. FIRE needs to account for both withdrawal rate and inflation adjusted returns. Dividends are not enough. Add some #bitcoin to the portfolio to add risk adjusted return

As I reflect on 2024, I have immense gratitude to the #nostr community for encouraging and teaching me so much about #bitcoin, macroeconomics, and health and wellness

Especially nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx for daily hopium and truth, nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l for getting me off X, nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z for making Wednesdays the best day of the week, nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy for persistently expanding the boundaries of conversation on what Bitcoin can achieve, nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle for his role in so many domino events like El Salvador adoption, and nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for the most times I listened to a podcast guest and the most I got out of each episode

Wishing everyone here and beyond a happy, blessed, and amazing new year! Lets continue to push each and grow in 2025

Hilarious to see the equity research analysts put out FY25 forecasts when they are off by an average of 14% (!) on year end performance. So called experts influence the sheep, we are independent thinkers in #bitcoin
