So, I don't buy through Bull, only transfer to it. Right?
I will take another look at it. Thanks.
Okay, I just followed your "easier cold storage guide." Bull Bitcoin is KYC, and it won't let me fund my account from the United States. Really?
Nice and simple. I like it. I just shared your link to my local Bitcoin group.
“Winter Lines” – There’s a quiet geometry to winter.
Bare branches trace their patterns against the still water, every line clear and honest. The first snow rests along the fallen trunk, following the curve of the tree like a memory of warmth. Reflections ripple and shift beneath, softening the starkness into something gentle.
A moment of pause along the shoreline of Traverse City, Michigan—where winter begins not with a storm, but with a whisper.

“Edge of Winter” – A gentle moment between seasons. One last leaf holding on as winter begins to settle in.

“Power and Grace” – Sunset settles over the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, where Power Island and the distant peninsula frame a tranquil canvas of amber, rose, and lavender. A quiet moment where strength meets serenity.
