Nice! I have the Crossover Solar and love it. If you run a lot it’s dope.

Garmin works nicely on Apple. I’ve been an Apple Watch user since the first one and I switch to Garmin 4 months ago and am preferring it. To be fair, I love analog watches and have the Crossover and am also an avid runner (which Garmin is better for vs Apple Watch).

I have mornings like this. But, they are far less since I’ve started running 3 miles 4-5 times a week. First few weeks no big change but after that it has made mornings better. I think maybe the running is helping me sleep better and stress less. I also run without music - that may be related (more time to think seems to lower stress).

I used to do something I called "hardcore week" where I would do something similar. But I'll have to try a day of it since I couldn't stick with a week very often. 😃

Have you found any that you can turn even when hands are sweety? Most dive watches I’ve had are hard to turn without dry hands. For that reason I gravitate toward super compressor watches.

I’m also skeptical. That being said, a lot of folks don’t like or understand bitcoin and then change their mind (myself included). But, prob he just wants money and to win.

I don’t know if I’ll vote for Trump but at least he’s acting favorably to Bitcoin - Biden seems openly hostile to it. So what’s worse? A guy against it or a guy that could go either way since we don’t know how he really feels?

Interesting. I would assume some warlord areas may be worse but maybe that’s more of a short term situation?

I don't seek privacy.

I know that some of you do, and I want to support that, but I don't need it. I have a DNS record that ties an IP address to my legal name. Anything done by that IP address is, well, obviously me. If relays on nostr can associate my public key with my IP address, I really don't give a flying fuck. I am not engaging in illegal behavior (at least not knowingly) and I will happily comply with law enforcement should they think that I am. Trying to protect myself from all possible outcomes is I think a sign of paranoia. YES the government is wrong sometimes and oppressive sometimes and who knows what might happen. The general trends are worrying. But I address that by pushing for change, and by producing legal technology that helps push for change.

I understand some of you are fighting against evil top down systems of oppression via fiat currencies, and in doing so you are making yourselves targets, and are being anonymous so you can fight harder. That's fine, and I'll support privacy where I can. But this is not my personal battle. My battle is for free speech, a battlefield on which I don't have to be anonymous to fight with full ferocity.

So please appreciate the work I put into helping you maintain your privacy (gossip security, gossip relay privacy controls, etc) because I didn't need any of that for myself, that was 100% for you guys. And in doing so, don't mock my opsec or belittle my client just because it doesn't do things exactly the way you think it should do things.

I generally think the same way as you. However, my concern is the future. What happens if my ideologies become “problematic” in the future when sentiment shifts for one reason or another. Look at folks who get canceled based on past comments, that at the time, were acceptable.

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.

:)

It is currently at $2m. Any assets over $2m are treated as if sold and you pay taxes at cap gains rates.

Totally fair. But then you cannot expect to live in a place with services like roads, police, military, etc. Unless those things can be subscribed to or paid for like how anarchists believe (which could happen - I just haven't seen it happen anywhere yet).

I’m fine to pay some kind of minimum tax to live in a good place. But the US is getting excessive and the exit tax at $2m is a joke. A few more years of inflation and most folks will be making $2m a year. :)

Correct, but his businesses were US based. Also, the US has an exit tax when you expatriate - which sucks.

Ver is a crazy guy and if he did underreport his holdings then that’s bad news. Also, his businesses were US businesses.

Are taxes too high? Is the exit tax sucky as heck? Yes and yes. But, it sounds like Ver is guilty of laws he should have known about. Yikes.
