At this stage of the fourth turning cycle, war is a feature and not a bug. For insolvent countries, they can rally their populations with a shared enemy and use war as an excuse to print their way out of debt.
We’ll look back and judge that we’ve been in WW3 since the start of the Ukraine war.
I dunno, the the lines told me to prepare for melt up. They say 140k by mid summer and then we drop back down to 80k. 🤷♂️
Green card? Watch out for the change in status to long-term permanent resident, if you have a high net worth. Don’t want the hassle of the exit tax.
I think technically you only need to file taxes showing the capital gain. You don’t have to pay. They will try seizing assets but you won’t have any they can seize. They will also charge you interest which you also won’t pay.
Eventually, if you want, you can negotiate a payment to settle the bill and pay a small percentage, if you want.
Ask your accountant 😀
It’s easy:
Fed raises rates -> debt grows faster -> more interest stimulus injected into economy -> buy bitcoin
Fed lowers rates -> inflation accelerates -> buy bitcoin
You must look really, really young
Acceptable.
“Standard Chartered forecasts Bitcoin could surge to $150,000 by late 2024, with a potential high of $250,000 contingent on ETF inflows and reserve manager interest.”

Part of me feels sorry for him. He obviously needs to take responsibility for what happened but it seems to me to be a toxic mixture of passion, ignorance, and ego.
That would be an massive bounty for someone to find a way to purify it. I wouldn’t count out motivated human ingenuity.
freedom, that pesky attack on slavery
Canada seems to be trending increasingly socialist and anti-freedom over the last few years. Media companies dependent on the government; a huge percentage of workers directly or indirectly employed by the govt; laws attacking free speech; etc.
I’m worried they might start persecuting freedom techies.
I hope you have an exit plan just in case.

Halvings are fun events but we should acknowledge that they no longer matter. A decrease of 450 bitcoin a day is now a rounding error on global demand. The 🇺🇸ETFs routinely buy 10x that.
Just one of the reasons why we are no longer on a four year cycle.
Expect faster cycles with greater volatility.
With wealth comes power.
Bodes well for liberty because it seems the libertarians were the first ones in and are the hardcore hodlers.
It’s going to suck for Saylor when they 6102 his bitcoin and compensate him with dirty fiat.
Bitcoin just flipped silver 
If you’ve followed nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for a while, you know how she compares our current economic environment to the 1940s.
In the 1940s, like today, the US had unsustainably high debt levels. To reduce the debt burden, it created high inflation and essentially devalued the currency, stealing from savers.
In the 1940s, there weren’t many ways to escape the silent devaluation. In 1933, the government had banned citizens from holding gold which likely closed off an important escape route.
Today, the ETFs exist. Now, when the government tries ye olde financial repression playbook from the 1940s, the entire country can buy bitcoin to escape the devaluation.
How will the government respond? Will it seize bitcoin like it did with gold? Will it block self-custody and raise taxes on the ETFs? What else might it do?
