Here for the info too. Does it take a rake? Is it fully decentralized (protocol, mechanics, etc)?

$50k soon. Possibly by 🎅🌲

Get that phone-to-phone NFC tapping built now, so we can skip the QR codes.

When push notifications?

It will pop up. Next stop $50k in very short order. Possibly before Santa.

Depends. If one considers BCH an alt-coin, I guess.

But in year 2140, all BTC are mined and this happens anyways. Long after we're gone, sure.

But test it now, as a window into the future, to see what happens. If it can't survive now, it won't survive then.

Someone should fork Bitcoin and mint all 21,000,000 instantly.

Scrap block mining and switch straight to transaction fees.

All gov services stop = Excellent. How do we make this happen?

Private sector gets bloated = True. Insurance is possibly even less efficient than gov.

You American's are so weird with your HOA's. How there isn't a national uprising over them is beyond me. That ain't "land of the free" I can tell you that much. lol

This is spot on. I've solved massive problems by launching startups that I wasn't even able to monetize. Costed me money.

Then you've got a government/union worker making $100k a year to start at 10am, take a 2hr lunch at 11am, and go home early at 3pm. Who does absolutely nothing of value.

Haha funny you mention that. My anon/alt acct personality is leaking out more on Nostr. NFG though.

TV prices go down -> Sale! Buy!😃 🥳 🎉

Gas prices go down -> Boo ya! 😃 🥳 🎉

House prices go down -> Someone call the government. We've got ourselves a crisis. 🤦‍♂️ 🙄 🙍‍♀️ 🤣

They created reusable toilet paper. 🤣

Canadian Bank + Credit Union Capitalization rates. Some are downright scary.

And the insuring agencies have less than 1.5% of the assets required to cover the industry they insure.

Good reminder. Hideout in the woods is good too. Anywhere but cities.

Right, but self custody Bitcoin + Lightning will also eventually get banned.

So as the temperature heats up, you'll eventually be forced to choose:

Will you continue living on your knees, or stand up and die on you feet? I chose the latter.

That's notional value before they go Weimar.

Here's how incestuous the financial market's derivatives have become. We'll use UVXY Options for this example.

Layer 1: Option contract on UVXY (Vix ETF). Basically, a leveraged rental of the UVXY ETF.

Layer 2: UVXY ETF. A fund which holds VIX Futures.

Layer 3: VIX Futures. A paper financial instrument, designed to track the VIX Index.

Layer 4: VIX Index: An imaginary index, calculated based off the midpoint of S&P Option prices to indicate market volatility. Yes, another option contract. Stay with me.

Layer 5: S&P Options. Derivatives on the S&P 500 Index.

Layer 6: S&P 500 Index. A Standard & Poor's subjective calculation of the USA Stock market as a whole. The index itself does not directly own a single stock. It's just a number value.

SUMMARY: A option, on an ETF, on a future, on an Index, on an option, on an imaginary index WHICH OWNS NOTHING.

When people talk about the $1 Trillion derivatives bubble, this is exactly what they're talking about.

EW only here. Prechter is the OG, but with a huge bearish bias. Can't discard his counts.

Alessio is a great trader but is still learning EW. He was really bad in the past few years, lots of rule breaks. But is improving lately.

There's interesting stuff happening on the higher timeframes. Need to work it out myself. But BTC 50% drop the sideways and doing nothing for MULTIPLE years after the current $100k push is definitely on the table.

The world lacks courage. Buncha chicken fuckers.

Gov, USA, and the establishment is not nearly as strong as people make them out to be.

3,333 Sats for you from WoS. Zap-a-dap-a-doo
