MtGox coins total about 1 year of all mined bitcoin at current mining reward rate. US federal government has more than 1 year, 3 months worth of mining…

Thus, of all bitcoin coming to market over next 4 years, more than half is coming from Gox and Feds.

Don’t worry: your dollar is backed by the full faith and remaining credit of the US federal government.

Or on second thought, buy bitcoin.

10 years ago, on Independence Day, I released the world's first artist cryptocurrency, @tatianacoin using the @CounterpartyXCP, which is a meta protocol on top of #bitcoin  (before ordinals, runes, etc)

It allowed me to create an album fully funded by the $ raised with the sale of the coin called "Keep the Faith". This record (my 3rd independent release) had artwork from a drawing I received from @Free_Ross (a repurposed birthday gift). See the art below and take a listen to "the Silk Road" online... #freeross

The reason I was excited about using this art was because I wanted to show how important it was for artists to have freedom of expression, and I knew that if I was signed to a label, they probably wouldn't allow for artwork by a political prisoner... they would much rather promote music like WAP or whatever idiocy they are pushing down our throats.

This is not OK. F the music industry.

When I was a little girl, I listened to Cat Steven's Peace Train, and I knew music had a higher purpose and could help make the world a better place...

But we can't record for free, music isn't made for free, and artists are dying on the vine hoping for the support of fans. We are conflicted though, not knowing where our next meal will come from as there are fewer ways to monetize.

Some say oh you have Spotify now, blah blah. Well, they don't pay well, it's near impossible to get to the right amount of plays to make it remotely financially worthwhile, with no end to that in sight. Plus having to create content constantly is time consuming and keeps us chained to rigged social media companies, begging for someone to like a picture of us in a bikini or cooking some food or fronting to be cool, instead of actually making art. We just feel compelled to shill dumb crap :( And it's hard to tell if what we are doing even has an impact...

I am glad these ideas around tokenization continue to grow, though I wish the tools were there to make it easier for normies to participate, which was always my dream.

I look forward to the new developments at XCP, and with the space in general, because artist's voices are more important now than ever.

I will be sharing more about my journey going forward these next couple of months, maybe selling some Tatiana Coin even to fund my 5th album, though admittedly the ROI on making a record is negative :/

I guess the songs need to be heard though, so I will keep doing my best <3

If you like my music and want to support my work, go to my website (which I can't drop here since I am sure the algos will crush me as usual) and keep in touch...

Thank you everyone for the years of good memories!

Thank you for bringing voice to bitcoin! I still love the bitcoin jingle. I have it on a playlist of only two songs, the other being Ode to Satoshi by Johnny Barrett which came out some years later.

This bitcoin sale is exactly what I needed. Add selling pressure from Gox and Germany and US Fed coins and miner capitulation and we have several months of price suppression. As I’m in my peak fiat mining years, this is good for me.

Indeed. This is our protest against tyranny in its present amorphous diffuse and hidden form.

Happy violent government overthrow day my fellow rebel!

Yes. This checks out.

Happy violent government overthrow day my fellow rebels!

Giga chad Michael Saylor

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase. But this can be a unit of measurement, as follows.

First, shorten it to:

Giga Saylor

Then cast in SI form and equate to his holdings of ₿210,000.

1 Gsaylor = ₿ 210,000 x 10^8 sats/₿

10^9 saylor = 21,000 x 10^9 sat

1 saylor = 21,000 sats

Which is roughly 10 bucks, something we can all relate to.

Thus, we can all relate to Saylor. Seems fitting.

Fact check: true! But don’t worry, you literally do not need many of them.

Picked up another 0.01 bitcoin. Figured it was on sale. If discount grows I’ll move forward my DCAs a few months.

It’s the requirement part. If it’s not economical to recycle, then recycling laws are basically a weaponization of government to force action by others to guarantee profits of a recycling company.

Of course everyone hopes recycling actually happens, but this should happen without coercion.

I will never move to a house that has a homeowner’s association or a city that requires me to separate garbage and recycling.

May your bitcoin time continue to double!

In the old and foolish days of bitcoin, the general rule was “never sell more than half at a time.” This was naively said thinking that in 4 years you’d be back in the same place. But it didn’t work out that way…price rose so fast that you felt like you had even more…which made you feel ok spending another half. The reality is that once you first sell, you’ll never get back to a stack of that size.

A better rule would have been, hodl until you can’t and then see where you are and how best to raise lower quality funds like dollars when necessary.
