to be fair if it is going to $1M buying at $82K isn't a mistake

I'm no techie, but satoshi said a payment processor could be hooked up to many many nodes and payments could be known "likely good" as quick as 10 sec (without lightning). why doesn't anyone do this?

this quote is still what makes me think Finney was Satoshi

This has always been the way. Before people just bought stocks, bonds, real estate, etc... the "game" has always been hold as little fiat as possible.

agreed and just posted this elsewhere. next level hasn't been reached until people stop saying how much fiat their Bitcoin can buy.

We don't reach the next level until people stop saying how much fiat their Bitcoin can buy

since the advent of index funds financial advisors have been obsolete

inheritance strategies? list it in your trust document and then pass them the hardware wallet(s) and seed(s). they'll get it at a stepped up basis.

arguably it would be more favorable to your case just looking at the past 5 years as the money supply has greatly increased.

since 1960 M2 is 6.88%. nominal stocks are around 10-11%. so a real return has been made to the stock investor

I think everyone should get in the habit of zapping content creators here. Even at minor zap of $0.01 per view, with a "youtube" like audience, someone getting 15,000 views a video gets $150 or ~197,000 sats.

This is virtually free to the consumer and a meaningful amount of income to a creator, in the aggregate. Even at $.01 zaps per day is only $3.65 a year!

Remember: "a zap-a-day keeps the censors away!"

Over the last 5 years the M2 money supply has grown at a rate of 6.6% on average, the S&P 500 has grown at 13.4% on average.

Clearly inflation is a large portion of the return, but it isn't all of it. The stock market produces real return.

I'd agree on principle. but practically anything so valuable will always be bought by entities. even if the US govt didn't do so others will/have

All politicians do this.

The only viable solution is a less powerful government. Power always has and always will corrupt. No side is immune, therefore power should be as limited as possible.

Reduction in the size/scope of the government is the only way to maintain any semblance of freedom.
