Of course the price had to drop after I bought it at $103,000. Gah!

Wahooo!! My boy got a shut-out in today’s #hockey game!

Are there any plans, or are there options, to have multiple on-chain wallets in the app. Say 2 on-chain wallets. Or two liquid wallets. Just thinking about multiple individuals under one wallet.

Speaking with my friend last night. It still boggles my mind how insane the banking system is getting. The fact that the bank in the EU can deny your request for €1500 cash for rent, and hound you on why you need the cash in the first place is crazy. I know it's happening everywhere, but their limit of €500 / day is crazy. They push you to send money electronically without limit, but cash. Forget about it. Let's make you feel like a criminal for wanting your own money. Let's prevent people from holding any form of cash. All because they want people to forget about the paper currency and move towards #CBDC.

But I think it's starting to slowly have the opposite effect. People are getting mad and looking at how they can spend their money differently. Something not controlled by the bankers and government. I'm hoping it sticks. And I'm hoping that more people start making a circular economy with #Bitcoin.

Tired. Me last night…

Well. Just finished an Amatsu Therapy session and I think I managed to convert her to #Bitcoin. Not only did I get my back fixed, but got her setup with nostr:npub18ull0tdnj9vugtq259k48szg80al44ta7g4fa85nvj3svaq7kt8s9udcl9 Wallet and sent her a $50 tip to get her started. It all began from our conversation about EU CBDC's and how messed the banking system is in Europe.

Hopefully it sticks and she embraces it. One more person / business that might start accepting bitcoin.

LOL sorry, not sorry. nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuum9d45hxmmv9ejx2asqyqlnlaadkwg4n3pvp2sk657qfqalh7k40hez4857jdj2xpn5r6ev7t32q08 Wallet tutorial clocking in around the same length as a 90s action movie. Drops later today, keep your eyes peeled!

Looking forward to it

Sorry buddy. Hope this gets sorted out soon. To bad there isn’t an easy way to run a business on a BTC standard but be able to pay through normal payment rails.

Just read another story about someone being debanked and this one hit too close to home, Canada.

These are my random thoughts.

Investment Accounts:

I notice investment firms are rolling out funding by credit cards, fractional shares and buying outside of trading hours. This tells me that investors no longer own shares and firms are taking on more risk. We only own a right within a pool of shares. There is an increased risk of an event where our shares are lost and we need to get in line as a creditor. Why didn’t regulators come up with a system where investors own digital certificates to their shares? Because they want a system that they control.

RRSPs:

RRSPs can be withdrawn at anytime but trigger a taxable event. I’m screwed in a financial crisis as the taxable event will outweigh any benefit the account provides. For this reason, I will not use this account anymore and will drain it as soon as I can in the most tax efficient way.

TFSAs:

This is the sweet spot for Canadians who want to invest in stocks. I worry about fees and how long it takes to withdraw. The average investor doesn’t think about this until retirement.

Banks:

Additional restrictions are being put on how much I can withdraw. There are risks of debanking. This is forcing me to look into alternatives and how long it will take to adopt an alternative. The golden rule of holding 3 to 6 months of reserves in a bank is no longer a good option. Instead, I’m leaning towards physical cash, gold and bitcoin.

RESP:

A great option for a child’s education. This plan provides a cost savings of at least 25% and allows for the transition to an RRSP if it isn’t used. Even with AI, post secondary education will be needed. I will load up on btc ETFs here.

Debt:

I viewed having a mortgage as being good debt. I guess I still do. However, I viewed having a TFSA balance greater than my debt as my hedge. I now think it is a better idea to have bitcoin as this hedge.

Bitcoin:

Previously, I thought having Bitcoin ETFs were a safe, tax efficient option. This is no longer the case. An exit strategy is needed. Until I understand more about my investment risks, I will only invest in Bitcoin. Also, Bitcoin needs to be used as money. I need to find ways of switching everyday purchases from fiat to btc.

I hope this helps others.

The debanking stories are increasing by the day. Just yesterday CTV did a news segment on it. Just loosing trust in the system more and more. Even RRSPs are yielding very low interest, and you need to reallocate into GICs just to get to 3% interest.

This has to be happening more often than not, for it to get a news segment.

Really looking forward to what hardware wallets will be supported by the Bull Wallet by nostr:nprofile1qqsr70lh4keezkwy9s92zm2ncpyrh7l6647ly257n6fkfgcxws0t9ncpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnfdenx7qg5waehxw309ahx7um5wghx77r5wghxgetkpn4wxk And it’s nice to see another wallet that supports on-chain and liquid BTC.
