It's hilarious how that happens.

It's getting pretty thick now. I'll probably need the full size axe tomorrow.

New money, no class

I've seen som notes/replies from new users saying that it seems insane to send money to eachother for their posts. Wait until they hear about the #zapathons we had a couple years back 😂

A couple of OG P gems in the fiat mine today. It's a WFH day but I needed to come in for these. I quite like my fiat mine. 🙂

Sometimes in life you just go for it—like surfing, capturing moments, and choosing freedom with Bitcoin and Nostr 🤙🧡💜 #bitcoin #nostr #photography #surf

In his forum posts, Satoshi can someyimes be described as curt or impatient. But can you imagine Satoshi turning into an entitled God Emperor of Decentralization on Twitter? Would he lack the self-awareness? nostr:nevent1qqst5x3830s9m33qw2rf4jxspe66vpgtpejpd259emmmx5n03m24a4cpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7q3q330v3vee2mdvn2npdkquka2upmlrlsp0dl2c6kfnzwhpq6dvkjgqxpqqqqqqzwynsy0

And the cycle of life repeats 🤣

That's some dedication.

Honestly i have not tried moving btc into cash on River. But you link your bank acct, so should be no harder than vice versa. I just dca direct from our bank to River, then move to self custody after a certain amt. If you set up dca, there are no fees, i love it. And they are based in Austin. I have called them several times to ask a question, and a helpful human answers. Might be important for a newbie. Just last week we moved some cash from a crappy savings acct to River instead, i'd rather earn interest in btc than a crappy 1-3% cash. Oh, and i really like that you can withdraw with lightning too. Pretty convenient. All their limits are posted on their site, i just havent run into any issues with that, so not sure the amts.

I call this attitude "Total Surveillance is the price of Integrity" and it is a legitimate opinion that people can have. But setting aside the surveillance concerns for a moment, there are several reasons why you might choose to not trust hidden amounts on a blockchain. Because you don't understand the math and won't use something that's not understood. (how many of users are actually familiar with the underlying mathematics, Bitcoin included? Nobody has the time to verify ALL the things.) So maybe you don't trust the people who are *implementing* the tech. (I think we all have a responsibility to become members of the communities around the projects we use. If we can't personally verify the tech, we verify those who can) I'm sure there are others. But basically either you won't trust tech you don't understand or you don't trust the community developing the tech. Fine. Those are reasonable informed objections. Where the OP gets weird is in making the a priori statement that if it's not transparent it can't be good money. IOW a dogmatic statement, not a principled one. Additional complexity is a valid concern. A reasonable person would ask if the trade-offs that are made are worth it. In #Monero's case, that additional complexity gives Monero fungibility that #Bitcoin lacks. That fungibility gives Monero strong censorship resistance (that Bitcoin also lacks). IOW it preserves one of the core tenants of Bitcoins value proposition. It is a good trade-off that any intelligent Bitcoiner should acknowledge as reasonable *even* if they have concerns about the implementation or community or whatever. nostr:nevent1qqsvu7ezry8j8ztnf4tpgl49nh8aps96u2t062upp53ce5hksjsc65cppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3grqsqqqqqpaytcxs

Perhaps they’re mutants?

They definitely are cold, but since it's only 10 minutes they don't care.

Many years.

FEW ARE READY TO COMMAND THE POLITICAL POWER THAT BITCOIN BESTOWS

Apparently not. They left wearing coats though. After some love and yelling 🥹

Yep. None of them. Gen Alpha too.

You can't change the system from within, thats why we opted out. #bitcoin

Nice discs

At this point they won't learn until they get frost bite.

#Bitcoin doesn’t rely on Trump or any politician.

Druckenmiller Declares: U.S. Going From 'The Most Anti-Business Administration In History To The Opposite' Druckenmiller Declares: U.S. Going From 'The Most Anti-Business Administration In History To The Opposite' Duquesne Family Office Chairman Stanley Druckenmiller stated Monday that "animal spirits" have returned to the market, fueled by "giddy" CEOs anticipating Trump's return to the White House. Speaking to CNBC, the billionaire investor argued that the U.S. economy is shifting from "the most anti-business administration" in history to the most business-friendly administration.  REBECCA QUICK: A lot of people have been wondering how you're feeling about things, just from a market's perspective, from an economy perspective. What do you have to say today? STANLEY DRUCKENMILLER: The economy is very interesting. We're at a very low unemployment rate, essentially 4%, with 3% GDP growth. I've been doing this for 49 years, and we're probably moving from the most anti-business administration to the opposite. We do a lot of talking to CEOs and companies on the ground, and I'd say CEOs are somewhere between relieved and giddy. We're believers in animal spirits. Paul Ryan was on your show last week talking about a 32% increase in business confidence over the last 12 months, which is probably a record in terms of change. So the economy looks very strong, at least for the next six months, which is about as far out as one can see with any degree of confidence. In terms of the markets, I would say it's complicated. Despite what I just said about all the wonderful things about the economy, we have an earnings yield to bond yield ratio that's probably the most unattractive level in 30 years. So you'll have this push of a strong economy versus rising bond yields in response to that strong economy, and that makes it hard to have a strong opinion one way or the other on the market. I will say this: in my business, every change creates change in security prices, and having this kind of radical shift from one administration to another, in addition to what's going on in the private sector with innovation, then you've got deregulation from the government, disruption. I think there’s going to be plenty of chance, plenty for your viewers to do. I wouldn’t worry about the market, I would focus on individual stocks.  https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Tue, 01/21/2025 - 10:25 https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/druckenmiller-declares-us-going-most-anti-business-administration-history-opposite
