This isn’t a comparison concept though. Of course it could be worse. Same as there is mild, treatable cancer, and then aggressive, stage 4 bone marrow cancer. But I’m just asking that we stop pretending that feeding the cancer, regardless of how mild, is somehow an act of moral righteousness and that if it weren’t for the stupid liver and we could charge it a 40% tax to feed the cancer more, THEN all our problems would be solved. The liver needs to pay its “fair share.”
Can we please grow up and stop with the disgusting, childish nonsense that paying taxes is something that’s good for the country or helps people in any way?
Just learned that there are people who think this is a Bitcoin crash 🤣🤣
I literally just finally started feeling reeeaally bullish today.
It feels like the Bitcoin bull market is finally starting to catch momentum. Everyone is buzzing, the hate fuel is gearing up, the attacks are constant, the fear is setting in.
Feels like we are solidly in the “disbelief” period.
Buckle up. It’s gonna be chaos this time.
Oh that’s fancy! 😆

I’m not asking for rules or guidance, I’m asking for confirmation on what the govt isn’t allowed to violate, because they simply will if we don’t have something explicit to point to.
A bill or rights is not a set of rules for the people, it’s rules for the govt to fuck off essentially. They will still violate them, but establishing them clearly is a very strong part of protecting from drift in the social/political sphere.
Question, why is the focus on a #Bitcoin Reserve rather than just serious protection for bitcoin users and holders? I don’t really care whether the US govt holds BTC. I want to establish limits on what they can do to their citizens, clearly and explicitly defined.

Remember when TDev's attorney said that the volume of discovery was equal to 75% of the Library of Congress, or that, if stacked, it would reach from earth to the moon 22 times?
The Government since added two new batches of discovery – now totaling 17 terabytes – and is in the process of providing an additional batch to Rodriguez' defense in the next seven days.
To give the defense more time to sort through the available information, the next hearing has been postponed until March 12th.
The trial date has been set for Nov 3rd 2025.

Sounds like a DOS attack so they have so much to go through that they can’t find the evidence that’s actually relevant.
Analogy: prosecution uses a single telegram conversation between two anon accounts, they’ve found out one to be the defendant. But instead of telling them they give them 20 TB of telegram conversations that include millions of other random users.
Thats kinda what this sounds like. Doesn’t make much sense to me otherwise.
It’s not even value4value, it’s really just because we can use frictionless money in a social environment… but also #value4value works 😆
Tell me you didn’t watch it without telling me 😆
Truth. Focusing on one thing does not mean ignoring everything else.
Probably get way better electronics and things thanks to it being more affordable. Would be really cool to have something that literally won’t corrode in super high resilience, systemic computer hardware. Could talk about computers being built to last for insane ages possibly.
A blast from the past!

Rewards were higher in the past, but the card issuers were getting wind of what was happening and tried to close the gap. I was doing a PayPal trick for a while with bills that was awesome.
That said I think people complain too much and always compare it to a credit card. This is a **debit** card so you can use it in tandem, and some ACH will now pay rewards too. The spins have stopped being a thing mostly except for promotional stuff.
Since the beginning and to this day though, the sats back on gift cards is the best part. The 0.5% (with boosts ever so often) on the normal card is just icing. I’ve never had it not more than pay for itself, if you use it as your main card you can seriously stack sats with it.
Thats just my experience though.
Btw, my Fold rewards were the savings that kicked off PearDrive, and were now at the final stages of bringing it to life, and I’m so jazzed!🔥
Gotta shout out that just using their debit and stacking on giftcards literally helped to realize what I hope to be a really awesome, P2P, open source project. 🤞🏻🫡
Stay tuned, closer by the hour at this point. nostr:note16lc6tf57tvztlry3ucthpyft5pwtq3rt5l30fm3m85tf6wglwhts9vn2g9

This probably stems from you and I having a very different idea of what God is, and also what the church is. And unfortunately going into hours-long threads regarding what I think about that isn't on my to do list today. So maybe at some point in the future. 🫡
You are repeating rhetoric from the church, not practical virtues. All those amount to is “stop listening to your conscience and do what you are told by your ruler.” That, imo, is not at all how to live in alignment with God. It certainly wasn’t the example that Jesus provided.
Negative. Living in alignment with God is not about obedience. If your church taught you this, I would suggest getting a different church.

Meanwhile on twitter, capitulation is still a slow, stubborn, and painful process...
If you think bitcoin is partisan now, wait until next year when Elizabeth Warren is the top democrat on the senate banking committee and as progressives look to move more populist — which could be a good thing except they’re going to fight against bitcoin as only a game for billionaires and tax cheats
Same ol’ shit, but more aggressive.

Sigh, between Trump, government stockpile attempts, and democrats/MSM games against bitcoin (against Bitcoin rights, really) it’s gong to get bumpy.
I hope I’m very wrong.
You’re probably not wrong
Pilot was on, but I thought the switch for the valve was electrical, found out it was a thermal switch just now. Had no idea, lol

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. So this could literally be some sort of internal petty dispute going on and causing problems. nostr:note1cdyf2zxhr93wat25gg5mjwq09p4d0l22g2ehpsklkys769xcuhsqd5axdh
