They will try to convince you that holding a money that doesn’t steal from you is dangerous to society.

Service still sucks when I go out to eat in Austin. Not sure if it’s because the servers are regarded, management is not providing sufficient staff, or because I look like a hobo. 😂

So I just got DEBANKED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE 🥲

They asked me to re-KYC my account, after using it for 3yrs.

Then 2hrs later, they send me THIS email.

"Sorry we can't give you banking services, and we can't tell you why."

Husband sent money there to pay our rent, and now they're telling me they can't send the money to my Brazilian account (even though I've been doing that for months).

So no account AND they're holding the money hostage 🤡

Thank GOD my savings are in Bitcoin.

It's times like this you realise how crazy this world is.

Do you just need an alby code? If yes i can DM you one

Spotted in upper Manhattan.

Despite the many issues with California, I must say that Marina Del Rey is amazing.

I can’t resist a really good huevos rancheros and elote. And these were really good.

Nah. I have many friends who could get in and around 20k per coin and which is insanely cheap for corn. They didn’t. I was buying at $60k. First time I got curious about Bitcoin it was around 800 bucks. I didn’t buy anything until it was 8k. And even then I didn’t appreciate it and was playing with shitcoins instead of stucking.

If I bought at 800 bucks I would sell when it got to 10k. Most of us if we got early we would sell it by now. People who got in very early and still hold most of it are OGs and if not them Bitcoin wouldn’t go as far as it went. Holdlers set the floor and their conviction is why many of new people didn’t sell when bear market was bad.

There is people who drive shitty cars, dont go for nice holidays, dont buy trendy clothes, dont go out often, to stack more today, at these prices. They live cheaply, they want to have better future. Some stack for the children. You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve.

What a blessing 🙏 He must have it after someone 😉

Wise son 👍

Fun invisible financial fact for people using stable value in fiat.

Stable value (like stablecoin, stablesats, dollar denominated cashu mint, ...) is a long position on fiat. If it's settled in BTC, or if it's based on some collateralized stablecoin, in both cases it is a short position on bitcoin (it's not a naked position, you have the Bitcoin as well).

Only crazy people want to be long Bitcoin and short fiat (that's not a judgement, market says it), so people who want to take the Bitcoin long side of the position usually have to pay the shorts (stable) in some way - interest rate, funding rate.

Another way to look at it: The long Bitcoin position is mathematically equivalent to a Bitcoin collateralized, Fiat denominated loan. If you want to borrow (short) fiat in order to keep your bitcoin exposure and not sell it, you have to pay an interest rate for the loan. It's the market way to convince (bribe) someone to take the long fiat position, which is otherwise batshit crazy.

This part should be obvious, even if not financially, just plainly - if I lend someone fiat, which is depreciating in value, I want to be compensated by the interest (even if the loan itself is risk free, charging for risk is another topic). If I borrow fiat, I fully expect to pay an interest rate on that loan. Are you with me?

OK. Now the fun part: if you have a stable position in a cashu wallet, stablesats channel, ... you:

- are loaning someone fiat (you have the long fiat position, which has the short side to complete the magic of stabilization, otherwise it would not be hedged)

- if you are not paid interest, the business of the counterparty is selling that short fiat (long BTC, or collateralized loan - mathematically the same thing in this case) position to the highest bidder in the process of hedging the stable value

- you are essentially printing new dollars (or other fiat). that's exactly how electronic fiat is created.

Questions? :)

Interesting takes by levels.io on lex fridman in the context of being a diginal nomad:

“Freedom doesn’t make you happy, constraints do” -levels

“I am free thats why i am lost” - kafka

Freedom is pretty great, but constraints (family, kids, relationships) keep us locked in and focused. Thats how i interpreted it at least.
