i would engage with your stuff more if you included screenshots of the key takeaway. i hate landing on sites with insane cookies. by only providing links i just keep scrolling.

while the topics you post on can be interesting its just usually not worth it. and therefore i dont like zap or repost either.

unsolicited feedback. best to you and yours.

i've never regretted it

ive started telling people IRL about nostr and zaps and inevitably the question comes

"how much bitcoin do you have"

obviously and objectively a bad question.

putting that aside it occurs to me that nocoimers view bitcoin like property, not currency

while its tacky to ask how much money someome has, its fine asking how many cars/buildings/businesses someone has.

newbies to nostr, i hope in the near future you feel what its like to get zapped.

its like magic, and since you can send it easily back amd forth like you would send dollars on venmo you may start to appreciate its use as a currency.

imo, it wont demonetize those things unless we have a crazy deflationary event.

so long as buying a house is subsidized by the state with the easiest and most stable credit of any asset, asset values will exceed utility cost.

no asset can be lent against for multiple years with 0 mark to mark and little to no money down at capped interest rates.

what i see is bitcoin enabling its holder to buy a more expensive house than their income may have previously allowed.

for those who dont hold bitcoin, community living will become increasingly the only option.

i used to seek and sell complexity in finance

now i mind my own business while stacking the sats in cold storage

man oh man. these tax oriented collective investment schemes are a recipe for pain.

a fee issues ive seen:

the promoters often design their fee schedule knowing the tax savings involved (value based billing), thereby charging a far above market fee

they have multiple layers of fees for promoter, administrator, advisor, etc

lock ups are common and complexity is significant

diversification can be diworsification in real estate

my solution:

sell the property, buy ASICS, use the depreciation to offset the gain and stack sats OR just pay the tax and stack the sats, let bitcoins appreciation make up for tax drag

ill be trolling some homies with this one

this is real life

not all violence is those things, but that doesnt lessen the point you are making about any violence directed and children

do i really look like that? dear god

cheers

i can't think of an exception to this rule

ftx btc reserve ratio was .105% (assets/liabilities) when it went under, which means two things

1) something like 95k btc (6.8b usd) collateralized about 1.5 TRILLION usd of altcoin market cap

and

2) ftx still had more reserves than nearlry all central banks, who have 0 bitcoin collateralizing their trillions of liabilities

least you know your bitcoin didnt go to blackrock.

well done 🫡

agreed,fuck xitter but i dont mind it if its a screenshot. i also dont mind when npubs post screenshots of websites

what i dont like is when npubs post just links. nowadays theres so much cookie harm from landjng on a site.

i get sharing a link is a nice utility but include a screenshot of "the goods" so a reader knows if its worth having to beat back a "reject all" cookie maze.

ill have to go back to see if ive been following this approach with my own notes, hope i have.

damn, the error persists
