Heard from several people this month that doubled their retirement by aping into BTC ETFs with their stranded retirement capital in IRAs, 401s, etc.

All I can say is I am GLAD they didn't listen to the tarded ETF hating maxis on Nostr or X.

Every tool has a function, the key is knowing which tool for which job.

Goodmorning. New here. 😊

It blows my mind that there are people who honestly believe:

> the earth is flat

> Epstein killed himself

> XRP is “better than Bitcoin”

Anyway, good morning.

I'm currently having an issue with my mum, who is doing pretty well health wise at the moment, since stopping chemotherapy. But obviously her time is still pretty limited, and this Christmas will most likely be her last.

She has a habit of leaving gift purchases to the last minute, then going out and just buying something with little thought about value for money.

So now she wants to me to go to a local bike shop to buy her youngest grandson, our little boy a new balance bike.

As someone who has been into mountain biking practically my whole life, this would be a very painful thing to allow.

I know the local shops only have overpriced, overweight, underbuilt things that look like bicycles, but are mostly junk.

I also know that getting our boy another slightly larger balance bike will only keep him going for just a few months.

He has a toy tractor with pedals which he was driving around the garden in the summer, so he can already pedal. He whizzes around on his current 12" balance bike with so much confidence, even on rough terrain already too.

My thought is to get him a used decent 14” mountain bike, remove the pedals and front brake, and to let him ride that as a balance bike, until he's confident enough to add them back.

I feel like he is almost ready for a proper bike.

I'm just trying to gently negotiate with mum. I know she wants to get him a great, possibly final Christmas gift. I know a used bike won't have that shiny new look, but I honestly don't think our 3½ year old will care, and as soon as he uses it, it's going to get beaten up and scratched anyway.

Thanks for reading. I'm mostly just venting, as I do. 🫂

Any other toxic Titcoin maximalists want to go in on this 11,300 acre ranch for a cool $60M and create a community of citadels?

I’m not saying right now obviously, but bitcoin is repricing the entire world and in 9 years this ranch is going to be very cheap in bitcoin terms.

College these days is a giant rug pull.

Today you can buy 1,000 Sats for $1.07

Biden granted clemency to Rita Crundwell. She embezzled over $53 million from the city of Dixon, Illinois, for over 22 years in what the Department of Justice described as "the largest theft of public funds in state history."
