nice work Mike, others will follow 😁
Try having new lenses fitted in your eyes @mike . I'm currently sitting about 1.5 metres back from my screens in a dark room!

"A Treasury with a million bitcoin would be trapped by its own portfolio. Congress could never exercise monetary sovereignty by limiting bitcoin mining or trading, because the price of the Treasury’s own assets would immediately collapse."

GM,
Meet-ups are fun. I’m glad I went to my first one in my home city of Oxford.
If you don’t know me in IRL, I can talk, quite loudly and very passionately and focused. I’m told that most people can hear me across the other side of the room. In fact one guy last night, said he could hear me in the toilets 😂
But it’s all good, I’m very enthused talking about Bitcoin and I don’t get to do it enough in real life.
A funny moment happened, I took a couple of copies of my book and one was sitting on the table as I’d just given it to a virgin Bitcoiner. One of the guys from nostr:npub1nqt6hg6k78la4uj0c0yc44s28t8nkgaaee7rdnrr0vszlul4wwdszsfpug was taking a look at it and asked,
“Whose book is this?”, so I replied "mine" and he asked me if it was any good.
I replied sarcastically, “No, it’s rubbish, the author is a scam artist.”.
The others looked at me, knowing I was the author, but the Bridge2Bitcoin guy thought it was just a book I’d read. He soon got the vibe and nostr:npub12fymz80ln9kdjvyxpwxd2ryuf0yg02957dzzjlawdxhqaylq0aas75mw5q eventually let the rabbit out of the bag.
We had a random newbie who had no experience of Bitcoin. I helped onboard her with Wallet of Satoshi and 1,000 Sats and the Bridge2Bitcoin guys kept the momentum up with another 5,000 Sats in various payments back and forth.
She had just sold her restaurant across the road and was looking to go on a Caribbean cruise, so of course I told her about my recent cruise to St. Kitts and Nevis and Barbados and told her of the cruise nostr:npub18rdmnvrajwrp6srzpttz63934r58sh0sn9lwk3z57ykjzuzge4wqu6dhce and I had planned 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I’ve been invited back, so I guess I wasn’t too loud and I’ve been asked to attend a couple of other events as well, so maybe my fellow coiners didn’t find me too obnoxious.
I've only just got up, because my brain was ticking over so much I couldn't get to sleep until 4am this morning.
We have guests coming this weekend, so I need to do some domestic stuff today. I gave their 2 children about $10 worth of Bitcoin each a year ago, it's going to be worth about $40 now. They might be asking some questions 😂
Can I be your guest at the next meetup? I have some earplugs.
My IRL pal nostr:npub1cvq7p3zwtqym3xhxuj5cc2xa3hdk2zjnx2p64epjs06tmzx3zzpq5ut995 talks about this kind of thing all the time.
What do you think Joss?
So Jamie is correct. All gains arising in UK SIPPs and ISAs are tax free. I've loaded up on MSTR in both and it's going well.
There is an alternative which is to buy Bitcoin in company pension called a SSAS but you need a company and HMRC approval to do that.

...and my friend who is a vicar just asked me about Bitcoin. Cue the banana zone!
A Good Morning! My guilty pleasure...Tony's Cholcoloney washed down with a double espresso. #asknostr
It really isn't that complicated #asknostr
Happy honeymoon both. If you like your coffee, go here (one of the best Cafes in Europe): Sant Eustachio Caffe https://maps.app.goo.gl/r482uc8a4EHYo2jE8
GM and Happy Reformation Day
you're right Mike. The average fiat currency lifespan is under 30 years (UK pound is oldest at c.93 years. The Rai stones worked for centuries until an Irishman managed to apply better tech. to carve and ship the limestone lumps, thereby debasing the money. They even worked as money when they were on the seabed!
hey John. Easier if I email you the deck. My email is joss@wmgconsultants.com
Hi John. I gave a presentation last week to a UK Fund Manager. Circa 30 mins if you're quick. Happy to fwd the deck and to talk you through. Went down ok but as you can imagine, 1 hour with questions is not enough with a bunch of suspicious FMs and Economists in the room. Best, Joss Wilbraham message me on linked in
