If you're holding dollars then you're getting poorer faster than you think

#Bitcoin in FULL self-custody is the only way to protect yourself

Let's go Lions 🏈

For those that are only here for NGU and haven’t done the hundreds of hours of work, it makes total sense you aren’t all in on Bitcoin, that you’re concerned, but will continue to stubbornly oppose cracking The Bitcoin Standard/Broken Money/Bitcoin Evangelism/Gradually Then Suddenly. Can’t do anything about it, everyone is on their own journey and can only help themselves when ready. Just gotta laugh internally to myself till then and just smile/node😝

Private Bravo communities for the wives of the world would be a killer Nostr onboarding strategy.

Can a bitcoin friendly CPA (assuming there are any on Nostr) riddle me this...? And please assume I'm a cucked normie who wants to pay taxes.

If I send a single 1 sat zap on Nostr, what are the tax implications of that single zap? Even if we assume a cost basis of $0, the gain would be far less than a $1 so do we even have to technically report it? Or do we report it with a gain rounded down to $0?

Now let's assume I've sent 10000 zaps, 1 sat each...what are the tax implications of those? Does each one individually round down to a $0 gain like in the original example, or are we supposed to take the sub-penny gains in aggregate and then round to the nearest dollar?

Bad Morning? 👉👈

We’re on the edge of massive breakthroughs: AI, self-driving cars, robot butlers, gravity propulsion systems, and maybe even aliens. These are things that could fundamentally change our day-to-day lives.

And yet, the future Bitcoiners describe—a world where you can save money and its value holds or even increases—is the one people still find unimaginable.

Why? Because no one thinks about money. No one understands it. It’s the foundation of society, but that foundation is built on theft. And we’ve been conditioned to ignore it, to accept that constant erosion of value as “just the way it is.”

Maybe it’s not that Bitcoin is too futuristic—it’s that imagining a world where theft isn’t baked into the system feels impossible. A world where you can save what you earn and hold your place in line without constantly falling behind.

Those other breakthroughs? They’re aspirational. You look up at them. But without sound money, they don’t fix the root problem—they only make it worse. Without Bitcoin, the divide between the haves and have-nots grows larger with every new advancement.

Ironically, it’s a sound monetary future that allows all those cool, crazy technologies to truly thrive. It’s Bitcoin that makes a future of innovation sustainable—because when theft isn’t built into the system, progress benefits everyone, not just the few.

While everyone focuses on the big, flashy breakthroughs they hope will change the world, Bitcoin is changing the world—one person at a time.

And it’s already here.

This is my best friend, bridesmaid, and a gentle-hearted Bitcoiner, Saphia. She recently lost her home and all her belongings in the Palisades Fire. Adding to her struggles, she was unable to secure an insurance policy when she moved in, and the last year has been particularly hard for her due to multiple failed IVF attempts.

Saphia has always been a source of kindness and strength for others, and now she needs our love and support more than ever. Please keep her in your prayers, and if you’re able, consider contributing to help her rebuild. Every satoshi counts.

You can send support to her Bitcoin wallet or Lightning address here: saphiarelief@tryspeed.com.
