“You’re right. I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I’ll have to close this place in…60 years.”

Been to a few Christmas markets already this year, and police presence and concrete anti-vehicle barriers are now commonplace.

It's sad it came to this, but considering the band of absolute nutjobs out there, it's understandable.

nice try

Not like in Canada. In order to do that in the EU, it would require many more licenses, paperwork, and stringent KYC to get the IBANs for that. But maybe it’s on their roadmap.

I believe Bringin does that for now

One constant about working in public policy is that many people work on various aspects of putting together research, highlighting principles, cross-referencing other statutes, incorporating model language, and talking to different stakeholders to hammer out the best language for a piece of legislation or policy.

You need additional voices and talented legal minds to envision what laws are needed and which are superfluous and amount to nothing but fluff.

In all my years of doing this at various levels of government in a few countries on dozens of topics, I have never once even flirted with the hair-brained idea of posting a bill on social media with the logo of my organization on it and rallying “it’s mine”. It’s an ethical line that most don’t cross because they understand the more finite points of politics.

This is such a demeaning approach that not only begets lies, but it invites scandal for lawmakers, invites easy court challenges, and creates yet more incentives to exaggerate or unethically take credit when none is due for pure social signaling (that’s really just noise).

When social media influencers are taken seriously as policy operators rather than 🚨 hype men, it’s laying the groundwork for inevitable backfiring.

For those with IBANs, it’s very cool to see the launch of Bull Bitcoin in the Euro zone.

Yet another great non-custodial and non-invasive way to people to stack sats and withdraw to lightning for more privacy.

bonne job @FRANCIS et l’équipe !

To the tears of our enemies

This is all public knowledge that every nonprofit must publish with the IRS and states

Yes

surely you run a lightning node to self-host?

Great!

I only know what the 990 says

Will have a blog post up soon on BPI’s website about how to keep and advance Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, namely by removing the notion of “taxable events” and exempting your BTC transactions from capital gains consideration

Maybe not important for you and your awesome Zeus-connected Tor node, but it’d be helpful for others who want to use lightning and base layer in the wild like money

he’s on the board, technically

Deutschland kommt als Nächstes!
