The United States government plans to liquidate more than 41,000 #Bitcoin seized as part of a case connected to Silk Road. This past month, they already liquidated over 9,000, showing that they're ready to begin dumping the rest.

By the end of this decade, this move will be looked at as a huge geopolitical blunder. The United States government should HODL.

I like Nostr because it doesn’t need robots watching my activities. 🤣

Spain is a communist country, as is the rest of Europe.

The real tax rate for a salary of 50,000 euros is 45.9% and the real tax rate for the minimum salary allowed by law which is 15,120 euros is 31.6%.

To this we must add that all products have a VAT of 21%, in addition to vehicle circulation taxes, garbage, recycling, goods and real estate, deeds, for owning second homes, donations and inheritance (yes, for dying your children pay), for exceeding a certain value of heritage, notary deeds and infinite.

The real tax rate will be at best above 50% and in some cases if you have a high salary maybe around 80%.

They call it democracy but it is communism.

Yeah, I know. But this representation is aesthetically pleasing.

Thinking about getting the bitcoin elliptic curve (secp256k1) as a tattoo. Would that be cringe?

I told it to always use Zeus instead of ask every time. But now I want to try using a different one.

On Seedphrases:

Does using a passphrase lead to a higher/better entropy when creating a key? 🔑

I mean does it help if a machine tries to find your key, that won’t scan for seed phrases but for 256bit keys itself? 🤖

Or is the entropy the same on the level of the key and it is only a safety add on on the seed phrase level if someone finds the 24 words? 🤔

Part of my finds this week, an ivory Inuit fork.

I want to play with it, but perhaps primarily as part of a multisig set-up.

And if regulatory gets more hostile, the privacy enhancements of liquid become more attractive.

You're not wrong, I just missed a coupon previously.

I always love an opportunity to put savings towards more sats.

Never got a blockstream Jade for Christmas or my birthday, despite a wishlist.

Anybody know of coupons or sales upcoming?

I think I'll just buy my own.

Dear Nostriches.

I just received this letter in my inbox...

We left that bank four years ago when my son was below ten years of age, and I am contemplating the proper reply strategy.

As you know, I am an angry sovereign, opposing anything resembling data collection for no reason. I fucking hate banks, KYC, and all centralized services in general.

A hint: I am talking severe flaming stuff...

Therefore, I am issuing a bounty of 5 million satoshis for the best reply suggestion.

Deadline 30th of march, 6 pm UTC.

You can email your suggestions here: bwoods1972@tutanota.com

Please do it!

There is a lot of talk about hyperbitcoinization, but all i see is hyperdollarization.

From Argentina to Lebanon people flee their failing currencies and adopt the USD.

The Fed hicking rates break all currencies proped up by USD loans.

Hyperbitcoinization is the end game, but to me it seems like we first have to go through a period hyperdollarization.

I think we can look to El Salvador to se where this is going.
