I had to take a break from NOSTR after all the posts were 'zaps' and invoices etc. Basically Digital begging. Glad to see how the zaps aren't center stage (at least at this moment) and they just work behind the scenes like Internet money should and will.
Thanks NOSTR developers, looking so forward to everything you are working on to better our online/offline existence. Hello World, GM, GA, and GN to some of you. Amazing.
Wow. Hong Kong. Incredibly Bullish.
I wish real life emulated the movies. Bitcoin would just organically get adopted and the nerdy girl gets the best guy. RomCom. Unfortunately, Bitcoin is more of a Horror movie and people are scared. Of course, those in the know understand how dumb that is but the people running the world, regulating, policy makers, are scared. Luckily the Bitcoin Scooby Doo took their Mystery Van to DC today. To help, unmask the Bitcoin FUDsters. Policy is the least exciting topic to a Bitcoin Maxi but it is the most important topic to discuss in order to get to Mass Adoption.

Craig Wright is total human garbage. Wasting time, Bitcoin, and resources. https://www.btctimes.com/news/bitcoin-legal-defense-fund-of-jack-dorsey-gears-up-for-case-with-implications-for-open-source-developers
Corporations: "Bitcoin as property is Friction Free"
Saylor takes a bad rap sometimes, but have you ever listened to how many times he uses 'friction?'
After working decades in Corporate America, do you know how hard it would be for companies to switch to a Bitcoin Standard? The last place I worked, Insurance, Annuities, they couldn't figure out how to move the data to a newer system so they are letting the Policy Holders die off instead. Last I heard only 132,000 left to go. You all know the German based company.
Companies changing all their current and legacy systems to go from FIAT to Bitcoin? Even MicroStrategy would never do this. How would you explain it to your CFOs?
So companies, follow Saylor's lead in 'adopting' the Property version of the Bitcoin Standard instead? A lot less friction. All the milk you produce keeps the company running, the cows fed, the employees paid, but skim just the cream, the profits, off and put the cream into your Property Bitcoin Standard. This orange Bitcoin cream is different, it ages/appreciates like wine.
Bitcoin time giveth not taketh away like FIAT time.
This message coming to Miami next week?
Saylor:
"...So at the same time — like, if I’m gold, the gold people, they want us to agree that we’re both sound money and the enemy is the Fed. Okay well let’s think about that for a second: I’m going to basically give the goldbugs 90% of the money — they’re gonna they’re going to be worth $10 trillion, I’m worth $1 trillion — and we’re both going to collectively agree that we want to topple 100 million businesses, all the accounting systems in every nation state in the world together. Like, why would I even bother? Why not simply just destroy gold? Why not just take the $10 trillion of gold and go from $1 trillion to $10 trillion? Try walking into the boardroom of Disney corp or Coca-Cola and telling them that, We’ve decided that we stand for toppling nation states and the currency and what we want them to do is buy Bitcoin.
I’ve said this before: you literally could line up everybody in every corporation in the world, hold a gun to their head and say, You have to stop taking dollars and switch your accounting systems. And you have to shoot them all. Because even if they wanted to, they couldn’t. Nobody can change the fact that the world runs on dollars and the accounting systems are wired for currency. So we’re picking a pyrrhic battle. Like, we’re going to war over nothing."

Months. Nice “upgrade.” ETH roadmap to Crypto Hell
Ahh...the glorious Boston Terrier, my first was Havok (named after a Rutger Hauer movie that starred a Boston and in the credits, the dog was named 'Havoc.') My Havok was incredible, followed by Sadie. Today, pictured above is our glorious Mini-Boxer, Odesa, (mom was a Boxer/dad was a Boston.) She's incredible too. Gets the Zoomies...snores like a sailor.
Check out the headline from "MoneyWise"
A salary under this amount is a dating dealbreaker for many Americans — here’s how you can avoid being part of the 64% of US couples who say they are ‘financially incompatible’
Then
"Additionally, a February survey by Bread Financial confirms that 64% of couples say they are financially incompatible due to differing approaches with their money. Those surveyed also laid out their red flags, with the biggest ones being a gambling problem (67%) or investing in crypto (28%)."
Me: But the kicker is the disclaimer at the end. The, thanks for reading as we admit we have no idea what we are talking about.
"This article provides information only and should not be construed as advice. It is provided without warranty of any kind."
Me: There are two main reasons marriages end.
1) Divorce at almost 50% in America
2) Death
...for you single people out there it doesn't make you want to run to the alter but all I can say is it is much easier with two if and the world was built for two if "you" find the right person.
For Divorce there are two main reasons:
1) Communication
2) Finances
I'd love to see who is divorcing the Bitcoin Maxis though. For once, and perhaps because of financial illiteracy, people are divorcing because of a 'saving' instead of 'spending' model.

Always be this way, NOSTR:
Paxful CEO Ray Youssef may have resigned but remember the correct stance he took on Bitcoin versus ETH.
Absolutely. Huge fan of yours and hot women. We men are Fugly.
For the record ladies. Some men who want you to get your breasts enlarged are some of the dumbest on the planet. Go look how sick some of these women get. But don’t listen to me, listen to Bill Burr. https://youtu.be/pznB7WP4P1o
Excellent as always. I know the way you think by what notes you send out. I’m always interested
Understood until you see 5906 words written in one minute.
Jesus. I just remembered I am arguing with an AI bot. What an idiot. As the past two weeks I have been telling Bitcoin Maxis to go have crypto people argue with AI first.
Understood. My brain turns off on anything crypto. It’s when Bitcoin is called out with total disregard on how/why it works the way it does as they try to enforce a speed limit on something circling the globe at the speed of light?
Officer pulling me over for speeding.
Me: How fast was I going?
Officer: I’m not sure.
Part 2 on the EU article. Good luck with this regulation/compliance. Signed, -The People versus the Rulers
Transfers between exchanges and so-called “self-hosted wallets” owned by individuals will need to be reported if the amount tops the 1,000-euro threshold, a contentious issue for crypto enthusiasts who often trade digital currencies for privacy reasons.
Huh?
Parliament also cleared a separate law which aims to reduce the anonymity involved in transfers of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin
and stablecoins, voting 529 to 29 to pass the Transfer of Funds regulation.
This applies the so-called “travel rule,” which requires financial companies to screen, record and communicate information on both sender and recipient, to crypto transactions to help combat money laundering.
NOSTR unsure I can post this from Reddit. I love this “gravity” comment.
