It is not that simple. You can make a strong case that if the US had not murdered 100k civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese would not have surrendered, which would have necessitated a ground war in Japan for the Allies to win the war, that would have no doubt resulted in the death of millions of Japanese citizens.
…technically illegal if you don’t pay capital gains taxes that is….
I’m just stating was is true, not what should be. Tipping 30k sats is like going 56mph in a 55mph zone-technically illegal but the state doesn’t care. But they will care if you buy a $million house with bitcoin if you only bought the bitcoin for $100k years ago. That’s why we need tax laws changed.
Capital gains taxes need to paid on every one of those bartender tips.
We underestimate the importance of getting tax law changed so that either bitcoin is recognized as a currency (instead of property) or that small transactions like tipping become exempt from capital gains taxes.
Especially when you can see clearly that the US is on unsustainable fiscal path. Tax rates will have to be very high by 2047 for anyone with significant resources

Whether you're looking to preserve your wealth or build out the future on top of bitcoin, from a risk-adjusted perspective this is the time to get in.
Great episode!
You have to pay capital gains on that purchase (assuming a low cost basis), which then definitely doesn’t make sense to do.
Thanks. Whatever happened, that one experience made me not ever want to use Muun again.
No! When that person comes in for the $9000 loan, they DONT use anyone’s deposits. They create an asset (loan) and liability. The asset is the $9k loan and the liability is $9k of newly created money. This is how money is created -through LOANS!
Money=Debt
A scam completely.
I’m trying to figure out how I zapped someone 3000 sats and got charged an 8000 sats fee through Muun. WTF.
Gold for investment is about half of that.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out In a decade or two that Zelenskyy and his inner circle are all billionaires.
Correct. When the money is broken, governments can get away with this shit.
Yes, also depends on your jurisdiction. If you live in the US, much less chance of being rugged on your real estate if you live in say New Hampshire, than if you live in California.
