There may be times to take a peak, but I agree whole-heartedly that if you regularly read/watch the indoctrination, it will have a detrimental effect on you. Fill your mind with truth.

Cold storage in a boating accident remains the standard!

Unrealized capital gains 101,

You bought 1 bitcoin in Sept 2024 for $56k.

By the end of the year, it's valued at $100k, but you didn’t sell, leaving you with an unrealized gain of $44k.

Under a proposed tax plan,

you owe $11k in taxes (25% of $44k).

But you didn’t sell, so you don’t have the cash.

You pay the taxes out of your savings.

You continue to hold until August 2024, and Bitcoin drops to $30k.

You LOST $26k on the bitcoin,

PLUS you paid taxes on the $44k of “gains” you never actually realized, since they disappeared.

Initially, the tax is aimed at $100M+ portfolios, but it sets a precedent.

Eventually, it trickles down to everyone.

Now, every bitcoiner is at risk of paying taxes on assets they haven’t sold.

People stop buying Bitcoin.

Adoption "slows"

I am much more relaxed here too. I feel much more like I am selecting things to think about rather than having them pushed into my head.

Vamos repetir os erros do passado?

A globalização foi criada para isolar os sovié-ticos. A segunda abstinência, o país latino-americano do Brasil, manteve os seus sistemas separados por uma mistura de razões políticas e ideológicas.

Quando a Guerra Fria terminou, ambos se abriram, aos produtos ele-trónicos e informáticos baratos da Orla Leste Asiática. Entrincheirados como estavam há décadas, nem os russos nem os brasileiros podiam competir, Para piorar mais ainda a situação, os chineses entraram em ambos os países para formar joint ventures, e dedicaram-se a adquirir todos os pedaços de propriedade intelectual de todas as empresas que conseguiam..

And I say again, why so judgemental?

I've seen people with fewer followers than me getting more likes on their posts than I do.

What's the problem with you?

Do you see my posts and not hit like?

#Asknostr

Yes, I see your posts and don't hit like.

Is there literature that addresses the effects of central banking, artificially low interest rates, ludicrous government subsidies and the keynesian obsession with consumption on the environment?

I have had this nagging feeling after learning briefly about Hayek's knowledge problem that they are the root cause.

#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 17

When the Master governs, the people

are hardly aware that he exists.

Next best is a leader who is loved.

Next, one who is feared.

The worst is one who is despised.

If you don't trust the people,

you make them untrustworthy.

The Master doesn't talk, he acts.

When his work is done,

the people say, "Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!"

Just went to another funeral second in a fortnight - he was 51; turbo cancer.

Never drank or smoked … fit as a fiddle - a legend football player in our hometown.

His big mistake was to comply, three clot shots!

FCK every bastard that pushed this poison. I will NEVER forgive

When we have major dips and you are not a big spender its a walk in the park because you not worried about spending just stacking
