Working from home is nice but I do miss the “roach coach”. Breakfast burritos and tamales rock.

Now I make my own breakfast burritos. I don’t make tamales.

Cash back in #bitcoin is handy.

The Fold card now gives 4% back at Lowe’s! Now I can #stacksats faster since I shop there all the time.

So true. I have worked in the telecom industry for 25 years. I’ve seen firsthand how regulation stifles innovation, creativity, motivation and morale.

Can someone suggest a couple of good ways to download YouTube videos without purchasing premium?

There are both good and bad chiropractors. They can definitely help. The best ones help you with the root cause such as a weak core. There are a few that make wild claims like they can cure strep throat with an adjustment. Avoid those.

I just had an idea.

Want nostr to get really popular?

Spot #Bitcoin ETF Approval

As a follow-up on our previous market news notes, The SEC has officially approved the spot Bitcoin ETFs for all 11 filers, including BlackRock, Grayscale, and others (for real this time).

The approval, retraction, and now re-approval has driven a lot of volatility over the past 2 days, with Bitcoin surging up to nearly $48,000 on the initial approval and down below $45,000 after the SEC retracted their post on X.

For historical context as to why investors are excited about the approval, after a gold ETF was first approved in 2004 the price of gold increased by 346% over the next 7 years.

What’s an extension?

And why does it ask for extention? (Note the spelling difference)

Why does it want my nsec?

I don’t share that.

Why would anyone connect to flare with their nsec? Why wouldn’t it use your npub?

Can someone point me to the process for putting videos on nostr?

I was recently dismayed at the abysmal performance of my 401k.

I called Fidelity to question why my investment options are limited to such poor-performing funds.

The answer of course was generic, stating that I was limited to a predefined mix of funds which were agreed upon between my employer and Fidelity.

Two things occurred to me:

1) My 401k retirement is likely being pooled with other employees and invested in high performing instruments. Fidelity is benefiting most on those returns. And Fidelity really just tracks a ledger entry to give me my 1-7% returns. While they take probably 15-25%.

2) The phrase, “Not your keys, not your #bitcoin” really is applicable to many retirement accounts also. If I don’t have control over my investments, they really aren’t my #investments.
