Rate my reply to my old friend asking me about Bitcoin:

Hey xxxxx

Nice to hear from you.

I am definitely not a financial advisor.

Can I suggest you read my book, it will tell you a lot. It is important you understand what Bitcoin is before you invest anything into it.

Firstly, Bitcoin is not like anything else you have ever experienced in your life. Everything else is based on trust and there is a higher authority you can always turn to.

If you loose access to your bank account, you can walk in to a branch with your ID papers and within half an hour or so, your account access will be restored by them. The bank control your account and the money held within it.

If you loose your passport or driving license, the government can issue you new ones. They control your identity.

If you get locked out of your house, you can call a locksmith and they will break in, legally, for you.

Bitcoin is different, it is permissionless and trustless. Nobody can stop you spending your money and you can send it to anyone anywhere in the world instantly without having to trust a third party to authorise payment for you.

By that same token, if you make a mistake and send it to the wrong address or if you loose the keys that secure your Bitcoin, it is gone, nobody can help you. You need to understand and be comfortable with that.

As for Bitcoin as a store of value, this is the first stage that all new Bitcoiners go through, but if you do it properly, it will eventually be the least significant feature.

However, as for Bitcoin price cycles. Every 4 years the supply is automatically halved. This happened on the 20th April this year, you probably saw we were in Warsaw at a halving party. It happened at 3:09am European time, so we were asleep.

Nothing actually happens for around 6 months of the halving, but from 6 - 18 months after the halving, the price rises significantly to adapt to the new supply and scarcity.

So, from the start of November the price has started to rise and will continue to do so in a saw tooth pattern for around the next year.

The price rise often overshoots the new natural price level and so expect a crash around the end of next year, it will be significant and will take a year or so to recover, but will eventually settle to a new price.

In 4 years time, around April 2028, the cycle will happen again.

Bitcoin is not a short term investment, don’t invest unless you are prepared to hold for a minimum of 4 years.

Holding bitcoin for 8 years can produce generational wealth.

The three core tenets of Bitcoin are:

Not your keys, not your coins - in other words, don’t leave them on exchanges

Don’t trust, verify - which leads to:

Do your own research

Study Bitcoin, it will give you back far more than you can imagine.

Did you guys see this chart yet? #Bitcoin repricing Aussie R/E

Sorry but I can’t remember where I took the screenshot or whom to credit for it.

Broken money, social isolation and 24/7 ragebait noise will do that to you.

Got DM'd by an old friend:

"Hi Mike, I know you're not a financial advisor, but I see you're into Bitcoin"

I am currently writing a response 😂

Though almost everyone and their grandmother focuses on it, few understand that the fiat price of #bitcoin is generally irrelevant.

Bitcoin is Prices Go Down Forever technology… and will long outlast all government fiat currencies.

You can quote me on this.

Learn to price your world in bitcoin, instead of pricing your bitcoin in transient fiat currency.

List of popular movies that:

-Feature a Christmas tree prominently or are set during Christmas but are NOT typically considered Christmas movies:

1. **Die Hard** - Set on Christmas Eve, it features several scenes with Christmas decorations, including a tree.

2. **Lethal Weapon** - Takes place around the holiday season, with a memorable scene at a Christmas tree farm.

3. **Gremlins** - While often debated as a Christmas movie, it's set during Christmas, including scenes with a tree and decorations.

4. **Iron Man 3** - Much of the movie takes place during the Christmas season, with Christmas trees and decorations visible throughout.

5. **Batman Returns** - Features a Gotham City festooned with Christmas decorations, including trees, though it's more of a superhero film.

6. **Edward Scissorhands** - Includes scenes where Edward decorates Christmas trees in the neighborhood.

7. **Trading Places** - Set during the holiday season, with a notable Christmas party scene where Dan Aykroyd's character appears in a Santa suit.

8. **The Apartment** - Billy Wilder's film has significant action around Christmas, including scenes with Christmas trees.

9. **Eyes Wide Shut** - Christmas is a backdrop with decorations and a tree visible, but the story's focus is far from holiday cheer.

10. **Kiss Kiss Bang Bang** - A detective story set during Christmas, with holiday elements like trees and parties.

11. **Little Women** (1994 and 2019 adaptations) - Both versions have scenes set at Christmas with a tree, but the story extends beyond the holiday.

12. **Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone** - Features a Christmas scene at Hogwarts with a beautifully decorated tree.

13. **Catch Me If You Can** - Includes several Christmas scenes, with holiday decorations like trees playing a role in the narrative.

These films often use the Christmas setting to enhance their narrative or atmosphere but don't focus on traditional Christmas themes or narratives. This list reflects insights from various web sources discussing movies with Christmas elements that aren't necessarily about the holiday.

WOAH!! That’s massive!!

Listening now 🤙 just wondering, did you have to upload it multiple times, or does it all link together because of nostr?

I don’t no who needs to hear this again, but the trade of the decade remains:

- Short (borrow/sell) debasing fiat currency

- Long purchasing power accretion (#bitcoin)

I am skeptical that this opportunity will still be available in subsequent decades.

Buenos Dias from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 One more week in the sun before I go back home, back to work, back to a new music release cycle wooooo

Busy weekend at the book fair, and it went great. Huge thanks to everyone who came out—especially the nostr heads who stopped by. Out of hundreds of sales, two people paid in #Bitcoin. Pretty sure I was the only one accepting it, so that’s a win. LFG.

Here are a few gems I picked up during the weekend. Also, the new Pax is treating me well.
