Stoned level:
Rooting around in my pocket panicking I can't find the phone that's in my hand 🤣
Is there anything better than this to get on a notification?
Aside from being sent 10 BTC 😅

This is all true but it's a different point to the one I'm making.
Absolutely physical theft of gold is much easier than Bitcoin theft, and in the past governments have confiscated (stolen) gold from their citizens.
You correctly point out that if you setup your non-custodial wallet correctly, there's no way for the state to even know how much you have (assuming you use non-KYC exchanges) let alone tax it or take it from you unless you willingly submit.
Which comes back around to highlighting the importance of self-custody. Because if it's in an ETF or an exchange it isn't really there, it's an IOU that can be digitally frozen at the click of a button.
Owning a Bitcoin ETF is like owning gold shares in a trading account.
You don't actually own any physical gold. You're trusting the bank when they tell you that share represents a certain amount of gold.
We don't have to look far back in history to see the problem with that (hint hint 1971).
If you have gold bars in your safe, you own gold.
If you have sats in a non-custodial wallet, you own Bitcoin.
Trading accounts, like all bank accounts, can be frozen at any time for any reason.
Can confirm 🤣
NEW: If elected, RFK Jr. plans to exempt #Bitcoin conversion into dollars from capital gains tax 👀
He believes this will help foster innovation as well as make American citizens more impervious to political overreach 🙌

If you're already familiar with Linux in general, this repo will tell you what to do.

For anyone else playing with LLaMA 2, the new K quant models are definitely the ones to go for. Just compared the two and the K_S Q4 model is much faster, less RAM intensive, and produces higher quality output than the regular Q4.
Standard LLaMA open source implementation, it's come a loooong way now!
