I've heard people talking about MSTY, there's the loan option...

Look, nothing is free, everything has risk. Pick your poison and be prepared to draw down if you have to.

Think of it like cheating but with the risk that you might get caught, have to draw down plus interest. As long as the time expectations and interest rate is reasonable to you, you might come off better off.

For over a year the dividend has been over $1. It’s been over $4 several times. Of course the music could stop at any time, same with any stock, but it’s been an impressive year.

MSTY seems too good to be true.

Invest £10,000 and get a £1000 a month dividend

What am I missing? This is bonkers and could retire the boomer parents who ‘forgot’ to build a pension

It has paid out 5-10% for over a year now. It goes up and down, but if you were in from the beginning, you’d have your money back by now.

The next trick is to keep grinding even when you kinda think you are retarded.

You’re thinking of Bitcoin solely as savings. That’s a good start, but that’s an arbitrary rule you’ve either made up or copied from some podcaster you listened to. Bitcoin is also spending money, and it’s very good spending money especially on the internet/nostr. You don’t spend from your savings, even when zapping here, for instance. You spend from your spending funds, money you keep for everyday purchases.

How is this different than buying a pizza 15 years ago?

Bitcoiners, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We’ve all grown up in a broken fiat system.

Each day we see that system hurt the people we care about in ways they don’t understand.

But Bitcoin gives us the unique ability to build something better.

A system that is transparent, verifiable, and fair.

A system that proves the money is actually there.

Underpinned by a provably scarce asset and a decentralized network of people who are hopeful about the future.

But this system can only flourish if we hold the influential businesses that build on top of it accountable.

Don’t let them use the same old fiat games to sweep away the people who have yet to follow in our footsteps.

Demand Proof of Reserves from Bitcoin companies. No excuses, the technology is there.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build better. Let’s not squander it.

Unit bias is an issue with Bitcoin. Newcomers often buy Dogecoin or other altcoins simply because they can own "a lot" of them, while the idea of ever owning a whole Bitcoin feels impossible. One proposed solution by nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqetk0p4 is to shift the language from 21 million bitcoins to 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins. Bitcoin is a great brand name and using satoshis or sats can be confusing. This would fix that too.

However, I feel this proposal would create confusion too, especially for those new to Bitcoin and for the media—because for 16 years, people have heard there are only 21 million bitcoins. Explaining that the total supply hasn’t changed, only the denomination, would be exhausting. Personally, I think calling them “sats” isn’t very intuitive, they should’ve been called “bits”, but at this point, I don’t really care.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t mind having an intellectual barrier to entry so I can accumulate more as others figure it out
