āFor my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perch'd on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him. With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case.ā

I like this version better with the modern videos overlayed.
Iāve probably watched it over a hundred times the last decade, and it still simultaneously gives me chills and a smile!
A drawing from Kurt Cobainās journals. He was fascinated by how this differed from the rest of the animal kingdomā¦ and how the mainstream world would hate the narrative violation. The seahorse almost served as an alternative logo for Nirvana at times. 
āCognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes.ā
This COULD relate to why reading that book was āhard for youā or why āthere was some sort of mental blockā for Jeff. It is DEFINITIVELY why I struggle/d with these concepts too.
We seem to have a hard time learning about something that feels more logical although it goes against what weāre all taught and thus believe so itās hard to have these beliefs clash and have to be humble enough to admit that having these conflicting belief systems is discomforting for anyone elseā¦ including ourselves.
Not an attackā¦ just a reflection.
Thoughts on using nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 more in day-to-day use in the States.
Iād love to spend (+ replace) Bitcoin wherever possible. Not just to facilitate adoption, but also to reduce the ānormalized invasion of privacyā over fiat networks. This can be achieved using prepaid debit cards, purchased with Bitcoin from a service like Strike.
However, in USA, every single sell/spent UTXO is a taxable event, which includes (to my knowledge) small spends.
How can we utilize Bitcoin conveniently, without needing to deal with the minutiae of what amounts to a ābuy + immediate sellā order, from a tax perspective?
My understanding is you have to report every sell order, even if there are no capital gainsā¦ right? How do Bitcoin businesses do it? How to stay within legal parameters and not end up with a migraine?
ānostr:nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle any thoughts you have re: how to make the strike userās experience more ātax convenientā would be appreciated šš¤
A complex subject for sure! Especially since bitcoin is - like Nostr - cross platform. You might be āspending bitcoinā that you bought on Strike for $65k (capital loss) or you might be spending bitcoin on Strike that you acquired off Strike for cheaper years ago (capital gain).
There are incentives for the wallet apps to try to build tax optimized optimization software for their internal transactions, but there are also reasons why the wallets should let more optimized software empower the user to select the bitcoin that is being spent based on other economic activity (potential intrinsic desire to offset capital gains or losses from other asset classes with the same year.)
Most importantly, since itās a clusterfuck currently we should be petitioning our governments to have no tax benefits/penalties on commodity losses/gains (especially on transactional level payments up to x amount equivalent in fiat) to attract money to your nation and become more prosperous going forward.

āAfter Coca-Cola president Robert Woodruff's plan to mint a 7.5 cent coin failed, Business Weekly reported Coke prices as high as 6, 7, and 10 cents, around the country. By 1959, the last of the nickel Cokes had been sold.ā

- minimalist punk kid
- walked away from the fame and fortune of an All Pro caliber NFL career when he thought his neighborsā freedoms were threatened (9/11)
- criticized himself and others when he thought he was the aggressor threatening othersā freedoms (Iraq War)
- was adamant that he didnāt want to be a propaganda symbol for war
- his family spent years confronting the US government to expose that he was killed in friendly fire and that his cause of death was covered up in order to use his fame as a war recruitment tool
