"am I the only guest?"
I asked the gal at the front desk. She mans the front desk, and cooked me breakfast.
I miss making my own food and coffee.
I reminded myself that I have years and years of being a grouchy old man making my own coffee and eggs. Might as well enjoy being pampered by GenZ.
"Buenos dias" I said in passing.
"Buenos dias. What do you think of this town" was the quick reply and she directed her steps to me.
Her eyes were faded blue around the edges by 60 years of bright sun at 4000 feet in this mountain town.
She proceeded to give me an earful on Msr le President de El Salvador:
"Some presidents are bad and they do bad things. He lowered the minimum salary and the prices are going up! And everyone voted for him!"
She shook her head in disdain for all those misguided fellow citizens. I can relate to that same feeling, of being against the whole world. How could they be so stupid to participate in their own punishment.
I nodded in agreement and repeated "some presidents do bad things". I had someone else in mind :-D
Darn minimum wages isn't a chapter in the Bitcoin standard.
Just watched, so sad. To have to go to a doctor for example for a brain injury and have them shill suicide is horrific.
What apps were yanked?
So if we started there with primel KYC, might as well start over?
i suppose once they have enough posts analyzed from one profile AI can match a new profile. Not that I care but it does seem hard to remain pseudonymous.
I finally learned this is called "V60"

I need to make a spreadsheet with Bitcoin going from 100,000$ to 10,000,000 over 10 years with a 0.2% fee per year.
Then look at the 2X levered bitcoin ETP.
Then compare to 10 years of holding M$tr
After ten years, the fee from the first year alone of BTC ETP .02% × 10,000,000 would be $200,000.
Yikes ! I can afford some nicer apartment with a storm shelter for a cold wallet for this much.
A levered investment product on a highly volatile growth asset with no slippage and no fees.
It's like cross country skiis. Forward momentum gains more BTC per share and there is no slippage backwards.
Plus there is no fee compounding year after year.

I was HODLing as much as possible for my future savings, but left a good portion in fiat to pay monthly bills. I always wondered about eventually finding a way to stay mostly in bitcoin, but still have a way to pay bills. Strike gave me that way, and I appreciate it!

Does this automatically figure out taxes for the end of year?
"mom, can I go see my friend in tower D"
"Ok, you can take the skybridge"
Convenient!
Everytime I think "it's starting to get real" and I randomly mention something like this to someone, I'm always shocked by how not real it is yet.
It checks out that these realizations should happen faster in the internet age than say, for example, 911.
So the Peter Zeihan narrative about China collapsing under the weight of aging population is not happening?
There's a weird algorithm here that people think ideas on the same subject on the same day. I've noticed it too many times. I think it's an emergent super brain phenomenon.
I wonder if they could do checking accounts with Bitcoin exposure.
I read thru some of the transcript and hope to listen later.
Since there's no such thing as perpetual motion, one way I try to justify the extra premium is from the bond holders who are locking in a less risky partial Bitcoin exposure and giving that remaining exposure to the shareholders who love it because they believe in Bitcoin long term.
But that's how I imagine it, and don't know if that maps to reality.
To get leverage via ETF, wouldn't the volatility magnify losses on down days? Whereas MSTR Bitcoin per share doesn't decrease on a down day...?
Someone mentioned how levered ETFs can go to zero with volatility whereas call options on a stock represent a contract that doesn't get eaten away by downward volatility.
