When you see the price of Bitcoin changing, it's not Bitcoin changing - at least not much because new Bitcoin issuance is miniscule.
What you're seeing is the value of all other currencies across the globe flowing into Bitcoin and losing their value relatively.
You're seeing all other currencies bebasing and losing purchasing power. You're seeing global money printing.
#Bitcoin is a black hole that will eventually accrete the value from all Fiat. Buckle up.

If you're using a spend and replace strategy with Bitcoin it's very positive for the network. Why?
Every time you do this you're further shorting the dollar and going long Bitcoin. You can think of it as having transfered the value that you spent out of the fiat system and into the #Bitcoin network.
Spend and replace as much as you can!
You're so close!
Its when people no longer need thought leaders. When they can think for themselves. Or more specifically when they have to think for themselves.
Trump doesn't know what a 51% attack is.
The DoD is always a great dept to pin waste and fraud upon - and for good reasons. But it's EVERY Federal Dept that needs similar scrutiny and ire. Most people have their own pet departments they want to spare - or worse, increase funding to.
But that's the thing. Even though the purpose of any particular department may be something you agree with, it's still fraught with the same waste and fraud. Not to mention the the foundation of their funding is immoral - by government coercion and force.

People are waking up to the fact that centralizing healthcare and insurance via Obamacare was a massive mistake. I just hope they get the perscription correct.

🎉 My biggest episode yet! $100k seems to really have freaked some people out, I can't overstate how stupid some people are getting.
I bust the biggest FUD since #Bitcoin hit $100k, and much more in this super sized edition of This Week in Bitcoin:

I appreciate the pod! I still miss 'Dad' though! 🍻
Felt good today. Had decent power even after sleeping like shit last night. And got the average lap time below 1:50 for the first time. 👍

Much better than last swim. Got that lap time down and held focus throughout. Next swim Wednesday! 👍 
I read Shogun many years ago. It's nice to be revisiting. I don't think I read any further than that. Probably won't at this point.
I just started watching #Shogun. What a great show so far - political intrigue, captivating culture and dialog, fantastic acting and sets. I'm only two episodes in and completely hooked.
Ugh, just over 500 here. Rookie numbers. Looks like I've work to do. 🫡
Finished these shelves today. Walnut cut and sanded to 600 grit. It's the first time I've done something with a fine finish and I'm quite pleased.
Now to sit and enjoy Gladiator - maybe I've earned it. 😉
A few seconds slow per lap today. Was having issues focusing. 🫤
I'll have to kick as for my weekend swim.
