Do I really have to spend $500 on an RO filter to remove government added fluoride from my water

My bitcoin trading journey has still not started

Because my strategy is to buy the dip

But it's not dipping

🤦

I’m slowly mastering the art of saying nothing of substance

cool, no command line needed?

cool, no command line needed?

ehhh, i keep thinking about doing this. did you follow a guide ?

How was the process moving from Core to Knots? Do you run LND or Core Lightning and if so: does Knots mess with those?

Sorry for the questions but I finally just Nodes humming and don’t want to brick anything.

Cheers

gm - finance friday time.

I need help. I feel like this type of talk goes largely undiscussed due to the taboo of potentially selling bitcoin but maybe this helps someone else out in a similar situation too so why not make it public.

I'm buying some land to develop and now in a 30 day due-dilligence period. I have 30 days to figure out the best way to finance the deal without selling corn and incurring a big cap gains bill at the end of the year.

The down payment needed represents a single digit percentage of corn holdings. My first purchase in 11 years of holding and the property is where my daughter will be going to school for the next 13 years.

I own another home which i am not selling (yet) and i have no mortgage either - this house is worth slightly more then the down payment i need to come up with.

So my problem right now is plenty of assets and a lack of lenders to borrow from. My primary bank won't even do HELOC's (Chase). Lenders like Ledn.io charge about 13.4% to get just a 12 month loan. There are a couple other "crypto" mortgage lenders out there but seem too unproven to trust.

Any other creative ideas i'm missing to use OPM (other peoples money) to finance the deal to avoid the cap gains?

What's considered an ear of corn 🌽?

Corn 🌽 being #bitcoin if you get my drift

I hate to break it to you, but a communist totalitarian future will bring worse horrors than a presidential candidate shitcoining.

Zoom out. Look at the whole picture in front of you.

It’s only real weight if the bar is bending

Unpopular opinion: #MicroStrategy might wrap itself in enterprise software, but let’s be real….the only reason their stock has any hype is Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s entire power comes from decentralization. No CEOs. No boards. No lobbyists. If you’re riding with MicroStrategy, you’re putting your faith in a centralized corp that plays footsie with the WEF….the VERY parasites Bitcoin was built to reject. Self-sovereignty and censorship resistance? They couldn’t care less.

Bitcoin is about opting out of the broken legacy system, not hitching a ride with corporate stooges. The second you rely on a company with shareholders and boardroom agendas to push the Bitcoin narrative, you’ve already lost the plot. MicroStrategy’s mission? Corporate profits. Period. Not your freedom, not your sovereignty. Betting on them is like hiring a fox to guard the henhouse.

If you’re serious about Bitcoin, stack sats. Be your own bank. Don’t let centralized players like MicroStrategy dictate your financial destiny. Bitcoin is for the people…not corporate interests. Sovereignty means cutting the cord from all of that. If your plan involves some boardroom clown lobbying at the WEF, you’re missing the point.

Bottom line: Not your keys, not your #Bitcoin.

oh I thought LLM stood for Luigi's Luigi's Mansion
