Plaid has some serious trouble with some banks. PNC and them don’t get along. I started just moving money through Apple Cash because of that.
Now however I’m just on a bitcoin standard, so I just move in and out of Fold directly with BTC. Holy Jesus it’s so much easier
It’s not fair honestly 😂
Important note though: we will get a million per bitcoin on the way there.

#Bitcoin was destined to be the most hated, the most lied about, the most attacked of all the alternatives.
Why? Because decentralization invariably means that practically nobody is going to get exactly what they wanted out of it.
People have *their* vision for it, and are certain that they are right and everyone else is wrong. This is why centralization is so desirable and things always trend that way.
People are belligerent, foolish, misguided, visionary, risk takers, and everything else under the sun. The whole point of #Bitcoin is that it won’t bend to any single vision. Therefore if your vision of it *requires* a major change, it’s got almost zero chance of happening.
Bitcoin is profound BECAUSE of its ability to work, to remain radically neutral and unchanging, amidst the never ending demands, false claims, shit throwing fights, attacks, and vitriol of a volatile and subjective human environment. Because WE don’t scale at a social level, a global and immutable consensus system is the most important technology in the world.
————————
In other words, it was inevitable that everyone who loved bitcoin but didn’t get their way, to end up hating it more than even the Peter Schiff’s of the world, because to them it was “hijacked” by never giving them the change/feature/vision that they had for it.
This is why “stay humble” is such an important part of the bitcoiner mantra. Humble in the face of realizing that you can’t just tell Bitcoin to do what you want it to. That you will fight a never ending, losing battle if you **prescribe** what it is, rather than observe and work within its restraints.
In that way, Bitcoin is very much like “the truth,” it’ll set you free but it’ll piss you off first.
It's funny to watch TradFi get so butthurt about @saylor issuing debt to buy #Bitcoin with it rising faster than the cost of the debt... when that's literally what TradFi has been doing with real estate & stocks for like 30 years.
Real estate and corporate debt get artificially low interest rates, below the real inflation, to soak up all housing and buyback their stock that pump the value and ride it up forever while the debt gets devalued.
Looks like the same play to me, just without the overhead and rent seekers.
I’ve just booted one up on Start9, opened a few fat channels, and have to do almost nothing to manage it.

I agree, the lighting is a little off, imo, and lighting is a lot more important than people realize and also is a really subtle and difficult thing to get right. There are some seemingly obvious ideas but then tons of non-obvious that are missed. I say that as someone who has lighting as their weak point. I pay a lot of attention to it specifically because it's not my forte.
In this case, I'd say you want a lot more light from multiple directions, which can be done by turning down the hot light, and opening your aperture more. I've always found recording with more light is best (as long as you don't blow out the detail) because you have more freedom to bring it down in post.
Look up some low cost light hacking options, I've made some super janky stuff that worked really well in the past.
We all wonder: will a #Bitcoin-based economy just recreate today’s inequalities with a new elite? Or can sound money truly shift the balance toward value creation over wealth hoarding? 💪🏻

Regulators, government, and the central bank. Controlling the bond market doesn’t work if there is a multi trillion dollar liquid exit valve. They cannot have a highly popular means of getting around it, or it doesn’t matter what they do, they won’t be able to control interest rates. And if they can’t, the ability to keep going into debt endlessly is over. The entire political class depends on that grift staying afloat.

In this case they are moving custodians so it’s not totally unexpected, but they are also having a battle with them over Fortress wanting to charge like $100 fees for every individual account.

I think you wouldn’t want the position to be so out of the money that you get called out of it almost immediately. If they are hedging a position they would far more likely be buying a lot of time and price gap, because you specifically want to protect against large, unpredictable moves over the period of your other position.
If you are buying something that’s literally right around the entry price (ie. $95K calls at a $97K price) that’s unlikely to last even a couple of days in either direction… very likely that it’s just someone gambling, imo.
I've never had trouble with their support, personally. But yeah there's no escaping KYC. It's much better than your typical banking though because they don't have to run a credit check.
They've always just done the app as far as I know. Back when they only sold Starbucks gift cards they had a website up, but it didn't last very long. I don't really find it out of the ordinary personally.

It’s amazing what my brain tried to do with this given the assumption you implanted from the description 😂
Baby steps over long periods have always had the biggest returns in my experience.
None of the either/or dilemmas you’ve listed here are actually either/or dilemmas. They need to be for Monero to have a long term value proposition at all, but they aren’t.
And it’s NOT called Dr Ridiculous.

I don't think a simple privacy protocol is enough to justify the value of an entirely separate money. The network effects and tendency toward consolidation in monetary networks is extraordinary.
I highly suspect the value of #Monero as measured in #Bitcoin will fall indefinitely. Maybe some of its network value will be sustained long term, kind of like Tor vs TCP/IP (open internet), but hard to say at this stage. Monetary transitions take a really long time.
I do stand by my comments that I think most of that community have cypherpunk values (rather than the outright stupid scams of the rest of "crypto"), and I think privacy is a very admirable value to be hyper focused on... but I genuinely don't think it keeps a separate monetary token alive on a long term time scale.
I think privacy will simply be a feature provided by many layers and networks that use BTC as their monetary base.
lol, I just don’t fixate on the guy on the positive or negative like so many do, imo. Everyone does the same thing with Trump. He’s not a savior nor a fascist reincarnation of the devil. He’s mostly just a doofus and doesn’t fall in line with the general establishment. Elon is in a similar spot, but i think there’s no arguing the guy is clearly competent and “autistic focused” on building stuff.
Except that it’s not true. The limitations of gold that led to its capture are not the same as those in Bitcoin. In fact, they scale in completely opposite ways. The higher the value transaction, the EASIER it is to settle, send globally, and sovereignly hold. This is the opposite for gold. Not to mention being digital.
In other words, gold HAD to scale to larger and larger more centralized custodians on an explicitly permissioned network. Bitcoin can scale and sustain much smaller ones on a completely permissionless and open network.
Whatever happened to gold that led to fiat, cannot even slightly happen the same way to Bitcoin, even without any change. There will undoubtedly be a “one step back” era of its maturation, but it will look nothing like the system we have come from.
