I had a friend ask for a loan and I told him sure, interest rate is 100%. He was upset but I told him if he couldn’t beat bitcoin CAGR then lending to him was a losing proposition for me.

Just had the new withdrawal limits roll out in my Strike app. Great news now I’m taking 100% of my paycheck in Bitcoin these days.

Your point 2) is why I’ve switched to taking 100% of my paychecks in Bitcoin. I think in a bull market it will be worth the effort.

There is only ~2500 transactions per block. Divide world population by the number of transaction per block and the 10 minute block time it would take 36 years to make a transaction to everyone so they could receive a UTXO, assuming single output per transaction.

This is do true. How ever much you stack in your first epoch is about all you get if you’re in a fiat job and stacking your savings. Go hard early.

You think some folks with a Masters are dumb wait till you meet a PhD.

Congrats on your conviction. Price in fiat don’t matter, your in front of 99% you’ll be fine.

This is such a great A v B test. Bhutan doubles down and increases mining capacity 6x, Paraguay bans it. Who will emerge the victor? Which country will be more prosperous? I think the answer will be obvious in less than 18 months.

Question to all the macro economists and freedom minded people out there:

Order 6102 is for many reasons an important topic for bitcoin. Most recently I read this article about the legal aspects leading up to it:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/national-emergency-executive-order-6102-and-the-heist-of-the-century-?mc_cid=6986670da3&mc_eid=UNIQID

I feel I conceptually understand both the rational and the criticism around Order 6102. What I don't understand and cannot find a lot of information about is if there were alternative solutions discussed back then to fix the problem that go beyond "let it blow up and it'll fix itself ". because even if this is a workable solution, it is not an "electable" solution.

what would have been alternative ways to tackle the problem back then that did not lead to confiscation? Were any of these alternatives tried out successfully in other nations in history?

I think the best way to avoid a similar future for bitcoin in the U.S. would be to present and lobby for those alternative solutions right now so that when shit hits the fan in terms of US debt and waning influence of the dollar (which it will), the alternative solutions have widespread support in congress.

I hold my keys I will not comply.

NOSTR and OPA are the only social media apps I use, I deleted Facebook and Twitter a year ago. Haven’t got a solution to the iPhone though.

I read TBS then TFS, but that’s just the order they were published. They stand alone so I think you can read them in either order without losing anything.

Took my first paycheck as 100% bitcoin today. Rather than converting fiat to bitcoin once a month I’ll now hold as much bitcoin as long as possible and convert living expenses from bitcoin to fiat once per month. This way I will be maximally exposed to the bull market. Have a good weekend.
