I don't think I said it was innovation. I said it is was useful. I'm probably older than you and have derived benefits from the old system, which I am perfectly willing to live without. Meanwhile, I have spent my time and resources doing other things to prepare my family for what's coming next.

For now, they are most likely going to run it like a standard credit card, which means 18-21% credit. But if you pay your card off every month like I do, interest isn't an issue. The card would be a benefit to me by allowing me to consolidate purchases into one bitcoin payment (lower block fees) at the end of each month.

If I couple that with spend and replace, there are little to no cgt.

It's hard for me to see the downside.

what does that mean?

who's apologizing? I did it three times since 2020. bitcoin cagr beats interest rates by a mile.

Also got a great view of the night sky. This time of year, it's Orion and the Pleiades.

Waiting for midnight so I can walk to the other side of my property in the 10 degree Texas winter air to change out the propane tank on my well heater. We would like to have water in the morning.

"Where would the gold have gone?" asks the incredulous USAID funded reporter.

I wish he'd said, "Probably the same place the trillions of dollars that were fraudulently stolen from people went."

well, I am a real person, so what the heck. I accept the appreciation.

lots of finger pointing, and then the White House says, "Someone's in trouble. But good thing we have gold over there."

Then no one is prosecuted.

I'm trapped in ch 3 of my new novel. personal issues have drained my energy.

please note that I do not need your zaps.

yes. it's generally expected. My wife and son, though, are in a medishare co-op.

they meed to keep hammering on this message.

Does Levin really want us to believe that no one knew Putin worked for the KGB?

look at Nayib doing a Vance.

My comment had nothing to do with Elon. Figure it out.

DM me.

what do you want to talk about?

results do matter.

Just know that if you get into a conversation with me it will probably result in you deciding I don't know what I'm talking about and muting me.

And yet I have a nice family; I live on land I purchased in the country; my punctuation is pretty good; I run a company and am building another one; I don't have to work; and I've been buying bitcoin since 2018 (including doing two cash out refis to buy bitcoin and then selling the house and using the equity to buy more bitcoin).

I may not know what I'm talking about, but I definately know what I'm doing.
