Does anyone have any theory why Uptober might be real and not just a random occurrence?
Also, traveling sucks. Being somewhere is awesome. But the actual travel part mostly just sucks. And that would be a lot of time in an airport or plane. No thanks.
Oh, Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind girl since the flood
People are making fun of Senator Menendez for this earlier comment but to be fair to Senator Menendez heās a subject matter expert in corruption.
Envelopes full of corruptly acquired dollars inside a US Senate jacket feels a little on the nose.
Whoever is writing this timeline is a getting lazy. 
I would have to submit a check request w/ my company and I am not doing that. Haha
North Carolina sent the company I work for a thirteen (13) *cent* notice.
It will cost me more to mail it than what NC gets.
It cost NC taxpayers more to try to claim this than they will receive.
Should I pay it w/ 13 pennies or a quarter & demand change?
Some good stuff here and thereās a good chance this stuff get passed in some form. Notice the one I highlighted. Thatās a *big* one.
I know nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m & nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle would like to see that passed. 
Sorry, the last sentence in parentheses was cut off a bit: 
Prepare for the upcoming fight and operation chokepoint 3.0.

I found this on St. Louis Fedās website. Itās an article accepted for further publication. I also posted a link to it on X/Twitter.

The federal income tax ultimately required a constitutional amendment to be sustained. The amendment was passed long after John Marshall was dead. The first federal income tax was implemented 26 years after he died. So it took a good while.
This is strong evidence that nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83aās thesis that the difference in the speed of settlement between commodity money and credit money was goldās downfall as money is correct.
Itās been a long time since Iāve read McCulloch v. Maryland. Certainly it was before Bitcoin was even invented. Iām going to have to reread it.

No because I only had one friend. His name was Tom.
The proposed treasury regs for reporting on digital asset sales for tax purposes have dropped. Comments will be due in about 60 days.
First, despite what some people are claiming, the proposed regs go out of the way to try to limit who is considered a broker to just people or entities or groups that are in a position to know the identity of their customer.
So miners, for instance, would not be considered a broker.
Also, they use the definition of person for tax purposes to further limit the term broker in that way. So an open source software project would likely no qualify either.
They are requesting comments on that and also on how to address privacy concerns.
Iām slowly making my way through the document so you donāt have to but I wanted to look at this bit immediately.

Even to the extent heās focusing on welfare, he doesnāt seem to be against welfare in principle but just the obvious waste and fraud. His example made me cringe, not going to lie.
Most people on welfare are the exact types of people he seems to support & there isnāt as much fraud or abuse as conservatives would want you to believe.
Butā¦ Have you seen the PPP loan fraud?
*Huge*
So I think people focusing too much on the specific example he used than the point in general are missing the point. And thatās in large part the elitist left. I firmly believe that hurts them in 2024.
I think heās more just confused and consistently becoming less so. That shit w/the Winklevii really set his learning back.
But, I believe this is the second conversation with nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle, who is definitely a Bitcoiner and not a shitcoiner.
It really seems to me that Dave wants to learn & understand Bitcoin/bitcoin.
And letās be honest, unless you are Satoshi or Hal Finney, we all started out not understanding Bitcoin to various degrees.
No joke. They just lie all of the time. Itās usually lies of omission. But still.
nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z: I loved your chat with Stig. Can yāall do that again, maybe once a year or so?
š & šŖ & the destruction of money bringing the end of an empire. There really isnāt a more fitting location for the fight.
