Yup at the end of the year I will have 12 sales, one for each month, so there could be CGT to pay. But the pay I don’t spend is HODL’d so no tax on that. I’d rather pay 25% on a gain than have to hold fiat.

I take 100% of may paycheck (every two weeks) directly to Strike in Bitcoin. I pay all my expenses on credit card. A couple of business days before the end of the month I sell just enough bitcoin to pay off my complete credit card bill to avoid interest and to put enough in my checking account to cover my mortgage. So I’m only minimally exposed to fiat for a couple of days.

Swings and roundabouts. My paycheck cleared early Friday morning at $59k so I’m enjoying a 4% pay rise. I think living in bitcoin takes great emotional control and a big runway so you can ride out the volatility.

Yup so the lost ones are effectively out of circulation. So in practice your portion of the available is greater. Like gold in a ship wreak at the bottom of the ocean, it exists, but can’t really be used in trade.

It’s effectively lost unless the owners took care of it via their will/estate planning. Satoshi called it a donation to the rest of us.

So where is the lower volatility I was promised post ETF?

To me, nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 is currently the best app for buying BTC because it doesn't host a casino of shitcoins. #Bitcoin

It’s also easy to link your paycheck to and better now limits have improved significantly

Good on ya mate welcome to the party. Keep on stacking bit by bit as your knowledge and conviction and finances allow. When you are ready don’t forget to take self custody.

Are you talking about the price of gold or the inflation of the supply of gold? I doubt the rate of gold being mined doubled last year.
