Keep up the awesome work Ben!
Not sure how many started using Bill Pay from nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9
I’m going to test it out for 2025.
Not sure though how the taxes will workout. Let’s say bitcoin goes up from when I buy it. Then sell it to pay a bill. The profits are taxed as income tax which is very high, this might bring me down to a net loss?
Does that mean this is only beneficial if the bitcoin price shoots up enough to cover both tax and bill? -> taxes are confusing.
Example:
I buy $100 worth of bitties, price goes up, it’s now worth $110.
I pay my electricity bill which is $110. I pay 37% tax on the $10. That’s about $3.7. I still benefited from the $4.3?
Is this math correct?
Yeah, you pay tax on the $10 since it's profit.
Or, you can wait for Jack to launch his btc loan service, where you put btc as collateral in exchange for fiat and you don't have to pay taxes on loans. Then just roll over the loan with a second loan, which liberates the btc in your first loan. Rinse and repeat. This is not financial advice, and keep an eye on the LTV ratio.
I would say
Low: 250k
High: 1m

Haha I might be in my home country. Where will you be?
Must feel great knowing your loved ones are getting on the life raft, I certainly felt reliefed. Have they gotten curious enough to start reading about it? I bought my mother the bitcoin and fiat standard, but she never read it.
Haha I was so focused on the orange pill with her that I forgot about the purple one. That will be my next task.
GN, my prayers are with you. You probably wish you were on call.
I'll see if I write about it or simply make a quick video, but good idea for content.
That's awesome! Did it click right away or was there some friction?
It's done, I've officially orange pilled my mother enough for her to start DCAing hard into #BTC, another memorable day. 2025 is going to be legendary.
Welcome to nostr! Loving the current inflow of carnivores, glad to have you on board.
If this happens hundreds or thousands of times in towns around the world, it could show what works and what doesn't. Eventually, 1 town might get it right and become the guiding light. Haha I'm just sharing my fantasy.
Good talk guys. Didn't know you were a Bitcoin OG nostr:nprofile1qqsxua0hju3e0j3jjhs0fjs0h3htnnreh6zm4lw4d0fhsgsv4rhwwnspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wfcxcetzwvhxxmmd9uggh9ef.
