BTC down with s&p, qqq and gold up makes me think we've got some contagion

You came from 10k to 100k in 2 years and you say the bull run did not happen?

They gave you inflation. #Bitcoin gives you the cure.

Sold the chair, but bought the #Bitcoin Dip.

Good morning ☕️🥐

GM have a blessed day today

I shook my local farmer’s hand and got a ton raw milk and 10 kg (~22 lbs) of meat and bones for $150.

Only downside is I have go drive total of 60 km there and back.

The top 10 largest Bitcoin and crypto liquidations of all-time...

We just lived through the biggest and Bitcoin is only ~10% off its ATH.

This is kind of a dream come true.

We have to be grateful for this checkpoint but keep grinding toward those stacking goals.

₿116,000

Everyone acting like this is normal.

That normalization is exactly what we need.

When the world stops reacting to high prices, it means conviction has replaced disbelief.

That’s more bullish than anyone can even begin to realize.

The Fear Index just got activated, yet price keeps climbing.

This is the paradox moment when fear and disbelief during new highs.

8 years ago, this was the dream of the 100k gang.

People forget because of recency bias, but this is wild.

The cycle is alive, the disbelief phase is here, and Bitcoin is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Steak ‘n’ shake wanting eth payments is like accepting a turd for final settlement 😂

v30 is malware. Once you see that, the gaslighting becomes obvious.

If Core neglected to update spam filters and refuses to fix the vulnerability, that sounds like the Core development consensus chose not to restrict it. Whether through action or inaction, that became Bitcoin’s reality post Taproot.

On Satoshi’s filters: can you point to specific examples where Satoshi rejected transactions based on content type rather than structural validity? I want to understand the historical precedent you’re citing.

On Core 30 and Taproot: if they’re unrelated, what specifically is Core 30 changing that enables the threat you’re warning about?

On “each user decides” agreed. But there’s a difference between individual nodes filtering their own mempools versus advocating that filtering should be the standard. Your post isn’t just “here’s what I’m doing”, it’s “everyone should do this NOW.” That’s attempting to establish collective filtering as the norm, not individual choice.

I appreciate your calm and reasoned take on this. Certainly the Devs are shocked to be questioned.

Listening to Adam yesterday, i did hear in his voice the realisation that they have lost the community, although he called it the free market demand.

Also, Despite the calls for Knots to fork- Adam was already working through the next soft fork in his head - to fight spam as the community want.

The v30 release is also not yet guaranteed as Adam said, i am for the first time starting to think the Devs may come back to the table before pushing it without widespread support.

I generally despise politics and am neither a Republican or Democrat, but somebody needs to lay it out:

A Revolution--likely violent--is coming soon.

Income inequality in the US--and around the world--is reaching catastrophic proportions.

History says that this discrepancy in income and living standards is strongly correlated with Revolutions... usually bloody.

If the Ruling Elite and Billionaire Class don't address this developing situation with practical solutions in the near-term, then (I predict, based on historical precedent) that this will NOT end well for said Elites.

The current monetary and financial system has reached a breaking point and, if it is not proactively fixed, it will eventually be overthrown.

One clear example of the obnoxious and increasingly intolerable inequality is in the CEO-to-Worker compensation ratio (see graph).

Hope in the future of America is fading... and many lower income Americans are growing desperate.

In light of this and many other large (and widening) discrepancies, here are Five Fixes for the Ruling Elite and Billionaire Class to strongly consider (and quickly implement):

1. C-suite executives at all public and private US companies should immediately institute policies to lower their compensation packages and/or raise their Workers' compensation packages, in order to reach a CEO-to-Worker ratio of 30-to-1, or less.

2. Though long considered "untouchable," Social Security needs to be intelligently adjusted. I know many wealthy American seniors who neither need nor even want to receive Social Security payments, and would actually be relieved if their payments went instead to their fellow Americans who are suffering financially. -- SOLUTION: Immediately phase-out Social Security payments to senior Americans in the highest income deciles and transfer these same payments to younger Americans in the lowest income deciles.

3. A progressive (income-based) student debt jubilee. -- While I believe strongly in general debt repayment obligations, many recent college graduates are straddled with large levels of debt while available jobs are vanishing. Negative income and a negative net worth cannot be survived for long, as even basic food and shelter needs become out of reach. This becomes an impossible situation to navigate... eventually leading to desperate (likely violent) actions. -- Such hopelessness and aggression are already manifest in high and rising rates of drug and alcohol usage, riots, suicide, and homicide.

4. Disincentivize ownership of multiple homes. -- Many younger Americans are simply priced out of home ownership, while many older Americans own two or more homes. This discrepancy is increasingly insufferable to younger Americans. -- SOLUTION: Americans can easily be disincentivized to own more than one home through tax policy. Doing so would cause many older Americans to try to sell their additional homes, increasing market supply, and decreasing prices to a reasonable level.

5. Increase the progressive Death Tax for the ultra-wealthy. -- Allow entrepreneurial Billionaires and (soon) Trillionaires to enjoy the fruits of their labors while they are alive, but then let the living standards of all Americans be raised upon their passing. Multi-generational family dynasties are over-rated and generally unproductive. -- SOLUTION: Directly transfer progressive Death Tax proceeds to lower income Americans. Make these transfer payments open-source, so everyone can watch the benefits of the inventive and industrious citizens accrue to all Americans.

--------

Finally, I believe that the coming Age of AI and Robotics will only accelerate the above-mentioned trends and accentuate the need for shrewd and well-timed solutions.

It is time for the Ruling Elite and Billionaire Class to act while they still can, or (as history shows) the Worker Class will rise up and do the dirty work for them.

GM to all who celebrate 🎉

Bitcoin is not just ones and zeros.

It is not just "the market".

It has an ethos.

Keep the flame alive. 🔥🔥

Is Walker planning to release his own jpegs on chain?

Good morning nostr, today shouldnt be too awful busy. We have bnb guests checking in, then just the usual chores. I often get asked about our choice for having a small bnb cabin on our property. Originally its purpose was to only be a little guesthouse for family, as our main house is small. And we still use it for that too, but alot of the time it was unused, so thats when we decided to list it on Airbnb. Its been a great decision for us. It's paid off, so we have no debt on it. Plus its considered a small business, so we can deduct most expenses related to it, like any repairs, and even utilities. Every situation is different, and if we had to take a loan to buy something like this, we wouldnt do it. But for us, it was something we already had, without any debt, so it works well. Anyway, yall have a great saturday, enjoy your coffee, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #bnbstr
