Is this where that movie "40 days of night" takes place?
Congrats! Had my first 4 months ago, it’s a wild ride but nothing better in the world!
Congrats!
Been re-watching Parks and Rec lately…. Pretty sure Ron Swanson would have been a Bitcoiner
Fun experiment:
1. Go back to when you first started to work. Look up how many ounces of gold you were earning per year.
2. Compare your current wage in ounces of gold.
3. 😭

Projections for this year have me almost back to 2012, the year I began working professionally…. I only worked half the year
I will follow back any young fathers on nostr. Regardless of ideological or political differences.
We have to have each others backs gentlemen.

That intro song rips
First was the birth of my first child a month or so ago. The hospital we were at is a big name in our area, multiple ads on tv and very well known.
The few months before my daughter’s birth we would see on the news the employees of the hospital were striking, they complained they were understaffed, over worked, and quality of care was suffering. During our stay this was evident. The nurses who were checking in on us were always extremely busy, getting multiple calls while they were with us and frequently needing to leave to attend to other patients, or stay late in order to wrap up some work. Many times they were forced by a manager to take lunch because they just got too busy.
To me this seems like a byproduct of the fiat system, the hospital is run like a big money making corporation, cutting costs and quality in order to maintain a profit and growth.
What would this look like in a bitcoin world? My first thoughts are that staffing increases and quality of services improve. Prices fall and the hospital and staff are able to prioritize care for patients, instead of profits. More staff and time allows patients to be evaluated on an individual basis for their unique situations, and not in categorized boxes to improve througput.

Oh I should also note that if you DCA into strike after 1 week your purchases don’t have any fee. I just divide my 2 week paycheck by 14 days and let the DCA do its work
That’s awesome! Keep in mind you can always start slow. I spent a month or so just building up a bit of a BTC base in case the price dropped significantly and some bills came due.
For 1) the fees associated with strike bill pay are based on the amount of trading you did the previous month. I think the highest fee they charge is <1%. I try to offset this buy buying things with a Gemini cc which will reward you 1-4% in BTC for your purchases.
For 2) It probably depends on the size of your bills but overtime if you continue to spend less than you earn and BTC continues to appreciate your BTC/bill will go down and free up BTC to move to self storage ( or at least that’s my plan). Hope this was helpful
Since Strike allowed bill pay I've been shifting my life over from living off fiat to living off Bitcoin. I'm starting to notice things in every day life that showcase the difference in these systems.
I think peoples reserve was going to do some bitcoin backed mortgages. adjustable rates with bitcoin as collateral. Not sure if it’s offered currently though
Anyone else feel like Bessent looks like Josh Hartnett aged up a bit?

My first just came a week ago. Just remember to HODL while you swaddle
This was a super interesting new perspective. Shout out to my fellow Taurus nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshsz0ggnf 🐂

This was a great podcast. One that got me thinking a lot of the future and how the trajectory of so many lives will change once adopting Bitcoin. Now it’s up to us to decide who/how we’ll be. I really liked the C’s vs P’s of happiness and the inward and outward focus of those
Six months of living on Bitcoin, thanks for making it possible nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5l35k77

I’m right there with you. Been living on a personal bitcoin standard since the beginning of this year, trying to slowly move the family over
I try to live on a bitcoin standard. Buy bitcoin with all my pay, spend on a cc that rewards in BTC and pay that off with BTC I bought, spend less than I make and let it compound over time
"The total value of all the #Bitcoin that exists is circa $2 trillion and the total asset base globally is $1,000 trillion. So it's 0.2%, 0.2 % of everything that currently exists. And so by buying Bitcoin, I'm owning this share of everything forever that I can secure my family's future on." - nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqqsd4swcck5la98jynsftdf9wlpnctxzhre6944dnj75dpz6lryc0uqh2l3zj on nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsqzq7q8pqp9qg6mz0y0keaw4u6q7fxr8pzmy3cw0hw8asx5psqxsfj9w2rsvz
