if you would understand "risk free" you wouldnt ask this.... Nothing in the world is risk free except 1 btc = 1 btc . Everything else includes risk.

You think bonds will stay that high? for how long? what gurantee you get that there will be no default? What gurantee that there is no war? what gurantee there is that they are not converted to war bonds? ....

risk free means just "you are blinded to see the risk behind, because you/yourself will be the yield on the product"

My mom died a few days ago.

I knew it was coming for a few months, but it's still much more painful than I anticipated.

So many feelings. Very humbling.

I was with her for every little declining stage.

Not sure why I'm posting this, to be honest.

Anyone else have this happen recently?

What’s the best wallet? I used muun but the lightning invoice expires?

I think i figured out how Tether works :-)

Entity converts USD to USDT

1. Entity sends USD to Tether

2. Tether buys Bitcoin

3. Thether then issues USDT

Entity converts USDT to USD

1. Entity sends USDT to Tether

2. Tether sells Bitcoin

3. Tether destroys the USDT in circulation

(0 bonds, 0 treasury's, 0 assets .... pure simple unconfiscatable math)

The revenue is generated from the spread (time between sell and buy)

Just an assumption from my side and probably the reason why the US gov cant do shitt about Tether. It also coincides with when the Marketcap of Tether increases , Bitcoins Marketcap increases too (in parallel to everyone else buying)

I am thoroughly pissed off right now.

I was just told by my 401k provider that my work's plan is so restrictive that I'm not allowed to take out MY MONEY for any reason that isn't a hardship withdrawal (medical bills, serious financial issues) or quitting my job.

Is it really MY fucking money then if I can't do what I want with it?

If you're old enough (or savvy enough), what's your favorite 1990s song? It's rather wrong of me to ask, because I find the question impossible to answer. So much amazing music came out of the early part of that decade.

How do you make a lightning address without it expiring?

Realistically, how much bitcoin is enough?

can't use twitter without sensitivity training

You pay so that others will not automatically assume your content is spam. Reading from a paid relay means you are confident that there is very little spam in the feed. Creators pay for that discoverability.

You can stick to 100% free use, but majority of users will filter you as spam unless they are your follower (or maybe your follower's follower).

IMO it needs to stay that way. Pay to read is a non-starter, there are too many relays and your follows could be anywhere. Writers have to pay, it's just the way it is. I wonder what the numbers would be if you did total cash outflows divided by total number of writes. How many sats per write (or hopefully, writes per sat) would you need to turn a profit?
