I'm just saying that because of that fact, it's pointless to argue for Vitor to have kids, which is what you're effectively doing, which is counterproductive when you haven't even shown that you'll respect his decision. You sound like a dick. I've made the same mistake many times, so believe me, I know this pushes people away.

Yeah it's pretty crazy. Irrational people. Most people are, sadly. I still catch myself doing the same kind of thing, but at least I understand why I don't need to pressure people to conform to my conception of what's optimal. Not everyone has to be the same.

How is being selfish making a bad decision for yourself? I think you're using the wrong word there. "Myopic" would have been a stronger argument. Also, one person is not most people. Why do you care if this one guy is choosing dev work over dad work?

Lol! Well for now strat is create a synthetic dividend by selling a bit as MSTR bitcoin premium gets really high, and convert into BTC, and then stop taking it or even buy more when the premium is very low. Bitcoin yield plus taking profits, bitcoin profits.

I'm not sure how they finance and manage the debt and what the exact limitations are, but I see no reason why they would be forced to liquidate their bitcoin to cover their debts, and that's what your statement is dependent on.

Oh I am absolutely gonna convert it to Bitcoin. I have an exit strategy for that.

Your life, your choice!! Kids can be great, better than you can imagine. But so can most things. Your choice 🤙

Yeah people are fucking terrible.

I would say not good enough to trust him. But we don't trust anyone we don't know personally, do we? I think we have bigger fish to fry.

He's going to add fixed income instruments soon, which don't have the same effects as the convertible bonds.

That'll make some investors panic, but MSTR doesn't care, it can keep issuing debt and keep buying BTC, and the BTC could always be returned to shareholders or employed in some other fashion. No way it "doesn't survive."

And its truth depends on what "sophistication" means.

He's trying to attone for his censorship sins with embracing bitcoin and nostr. He was pressured by the company and the government too. I feel like he's made his apology through his actions.

I'm curious, what did they do, sell their 1.28 BTC, or is that the total lost on a short term trade?

Also, try using n/ communities if you want to speak specifically about a limited set of topics at a time. Like, if you and I join 'nix community, we can have those conversations and you don't have to see all my bitcoin and anarchism posts while still getting to connect over open source operating systems.

That's why I'm making the distinction. None of my connections on here give a crap about lambos, so maybe you should distinguish between cryptobros and bitcoin-only people. They're the anti-cryptobro.

Bring in what you want to see. There's no stopping you. The community on here is not just one community, that's the whole point of nostr. Be the value you want to see here, and Linux dudes will come. I love Linux and all things open source. If you lump everyone into the same box and assume they are all the same, I've got news for you, you're flat wrong about that. Bitcoiners are different. Further, by shutting yourself off from them, you miss out on connecting over shared interests. I freaking love open source. Does me also loving bitcoin mean you can't talk to me about other things? NO!

GM nostr! Thanks for being there for me when I needed to learn about bitcoin. You guys saved my ass.

Only one kind of hate allowed: hate for the outgroups, good, bad, weird, whatever, they hate 'em.

I'm kind of terrified. At least I have a gas mask and some iodine (and iodized salt). And I have my bitcoin, and have my house and all property protected with tools of self defense.

So excited to keep stacking. I'm buying the top forever, Laura.
