Sick! You should get counseling for such an offense. I would never do that to my woman! 😆
Christianity's God in the Bible also says women aren't equal, but Christian views evolved past that point and now women in Western societies have near full equality. Islamic societies actually were developing in that direction, with women wearing full Western clothing being common, before the money printing West destabilized them. Just give people stability and generally they'll figure out these things out for themselves.
To me there is nothing else that you can store your wealth in that benefits the world as greatly as Bitcoin without supporting the current system of extracting value from others which I view as morally bankrupt. The benefit of "massive gains" comes with the cost of dealing with volatility. But if you're very patient and live frugally with minimal living expenses, then the volatility isn't worrisome when you know your savings will grow exponentially over time.
And I do know it will grow with time. It is functionally guaranteed to grow 14.99% a year from the exponentially growing energy input of the mining network, and another 18.93% a year from the value doubling effect the halving has on the coins relative to the mining network cost of production, as well as 6.8% a year tracking the rate of USD debasement. All in all Bitcoin is guaranteed IMO to see 46% average annual growth as measured in US Dollars across 4 year periods.
This is assuming the previous 6 year average, of 15% annual energy input for mining growth, continues to be seen. We know for certain that the USD will continue to be debased, and we know for certain that the halving will occur and reduce the amount of coins earned though proof of work every 4 years until either 2140 or in perpetuity. So the only variable is the mining network, which will likely continue to grow because nothing else pays humanity for otherwise useless energy. The value of energy without another use is no longer wasted as it can be sold to Bitcoin miners. This builds energy abundance like never before, and Bitcoin preserves the value of that energy like never before.
Bitcoin is freedom for all mankind.
🚨ABOUT THE EMERGENCY SITUATION IN CHINA
There has been no official statement from the Chinese government, and some media outlets are reporting this as fake news.
However, the reports are not limited to Chinese social media but are also coming from Indian, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese news outlets.
Videos and images like these are NOT old; they are from the past few days.
Therefore, there is no confirmation yet—neither that it is true nor that it is fake.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and as soon as there are updates, I will share them here. https://video.nostr.build/ed0907c0929e1f66c768a3b960893789b20705233b3252b85b776b19c7367b75.mp4
I see a crowd of people, many with masks on. This tells me nothing. What situation is supposedly developing?
I like movies. Apocalypto was pretty good!
I always try to find hidden gems wherever I go. For insurance when visiting family over the weekend, they apparently had a Criterion Collection DVD copy of the 1949 movie "The Third Man" which they let me take home! They aren't serious movie collectors like I am lol. I look forward to watching the last half (only saw half last night).
Bonkers. We need more local direct pay only medical clinics.
"Mentioned note not found" Looks like I already muted them. Turned out after some sleuthing that it's that Digit obsessed person. Poor girl got in the gaze of an unstable person, I do hope she's okay and I hope this person moves on as this isn't healthy.
I do wish my mute list only muted them from my main feed and simply minimized their comments with the option to expand them so I could still see other users interactions with the accounts. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub1nz64zngcqm8vj8nhrdkcjpfwn2rcaqysnxec88tqfclp5afrpglsqm0w5y feature request!
I admire your pessimistic view when normies don't get to decide the way the network goes. Bitcoin is controlled by the people willing to do the work to run nodes. Do normies run nodes? No, they don't.
Blackrock and fidelity along with the US Federal Government and China could announce a fork and all normies would go "okay" while all the people who keep Bitcoin actually functioning will go "lmao, no." and the only network that will work will be the original one.
The FIAT system robs us all of the time value of our money.
Contributing to society now, when the economy is smaller and serves less people, and saving that until a later date, when the economy is larger and serves more people, should result in your savings growing in value along with the overall economy it helped grow.
The FIAT system is modern slavery. But unlike slavery of the past this slavery is hidden behind the curtain of the modern banking system which few are allowed to understand.
The current system was built to incentivize everyone to put their money into whatever grows fastest, which meant giving savings to someone else in the hope that it grows.
Bitcoin gives us not only an asset whose value grows faster than anything else and thus attracts "investments" away from the FIAT enshrined investments, but it also gives us the ability to own it and custody it ourselves. Until Bitcoin we had no way to free ourselves from the current system, but with Bitcoin everyone globally can be free to buy and custody the most perfect form of money in history and truly live a life of abundance with those they love.
Break free from the FIAT yoke of bondage.
Save in Bitcoin until you can live on a Bitcoin Standard.
LIVE FREE. Life does not have to be as hard as the centralized authorities make it seem.
Bitcoin is the first market good in history that over time has a guaranteed and predictable slowing rate of production in spite of an exponentially growing input of the production material (electricity).
Nothing to see here, just deliberately keeping information from the public so they can't make smart risk avoiding decisions in order to protect the status quo from the consequences of their own actions.
Don't forget not to invest in that Bitcoin SCAM or you could lose all your money! 🤮

Testing the new Bill Pay feature, I had a balance of 0.1 BTC and 4 accounts set to pull the first business day in January.
3 of them successfully pulled with Bitcoin sold to cover the bill. Yay!
I got 25k sats back for the December bill pay promo. Yay!
Of the 4 accounts set to pull, Citi Bank pulled 2 different auto payments for 2 different cards. As of yesterday 1 went through and 1 did not yet...
This morning I wake up to a $30 returned check fee and a locked Citi account with my available credit at $0. Not yay. 🥲🫠
Why did 1 Citi card successfully get paid but the other was returned? The Strike bank account info was the same on both and there was sufficient balance in Bitcoin.
I just manually made the payment from the small amounts of USD I hold in other accounts, but I want to figure out what happened so it doesn't happen again.
GM Freedom lovers! May your weekend start off great!
