Last Notes npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Even Tho I really feel like The US would be powerless to stop the peoples adoption of Bitcoin, just like China is unable to stop it’s people from continuing to adopt Bitcoin; npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft When I pay my Taxes, I feel like a prisoner of my Countries Debt. In other words I’m a fiscal Debt Slave. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Would the government telling us that we cannot Self Custody our Bitcoin, the same as telling us we cannot keep Gold Coins in our own safe at home. We could even take it farther to say why would they let us keep US cash in our wallet or a safe at home. How about Baseball card, or Art for that matter. All commodities, aren’t they. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Watched Jenifer Lopez in “Atlas” yesterday. Pretty cool take on AI dangers and benefits. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I donated npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🤙 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Someone invited, and wanted Wall Street invited to partake in this promising new network. These people, and the people they bring with them are only interested in filling their fiat ($) bags. They buy with $, and sell for $ when they feel that they have made the $ they want out of it. Bitcoin has the chance of separating money from state. The state has abused its power over money. Other states of the world will go to war to own the right to be the world reserve currency. If you see the wrong that can be righted, use any fiat ($) you have to buy Bitcoin. Buy from non-KYC sources if possible. Do not exchange your Bitcoin for fiat ($). Exchange it only with other Bitcoiners for product and service. The people that know the potential of a Bitcoin economy. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🤙 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Can happen on BTC main chain also. Be careful with copy and paste. Check the entire address before hitting send on any substantial transactions. If you receive anonymous small transactions from anybody, check the address and delete from your transactions list. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft No clue huh! If you don’t get, I don’t have time to explain it. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Privacy already exists if you need it. Buy from non-KYC sources. Do not exchange into fiat currencies thru KYC exchanges. Trade Bitcoin for service and product with bitcoiners that understand this principle. They’ll never know who you are. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Far Side - Always loved this guy! https://image.nostr.build/25d579819ef10858213286b4449ae9d4e0cc6d5a8477b259141735366d4a1157.jpg npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Who is HRF. Is that a smart way to contribute to bitcoin development? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Yep! Good to know. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🙏✅ npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 👍✅ npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Somebody told me the other day, that Redit is going to IPO. He also told me that Redit is his only source for truthful news. I seriously doubt that any entity held on any stock exchange is not influenced by its whale shareholders, that clearly want you to believe what they want you to believe. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft What! I have to up my pushups to 155/day to $155k 😂 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Right now, my exchange won’t let me send Bitcoin, but it does not stop me because most of my Bitcoin is not on exchange. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 100 pushups a day to 100k npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Satoshi gave the gift of Bitcoin to the world, and then disappeared. May the anonymity, and the mystery of Satoshi’s existence remain in our minds and souls for eternity. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft An interesting perspective on what is truth. Maybe it’s really just a point of view. Something may be true to a person because someone they trust or in a position of power told them it is true. Or they could witness something and from their own perspective believe what they witnessed is true. But upon further examination of a truth, a persons idea of what is true can change, or the truth from another persons point of view can be different upon witnessing the same event. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I’m almost all the way out of Twitter (X). I do admit I still peek every now and then. I don’t expect that will last much longer. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I get a kick out of ECB people saying Bitcoin failed because nobody uses it to buy anything. I use it every day to buy stuff. Soon they will eat their old shit words. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Heard about a company helping people with that. It’s called Mind Med. takes me back to a time when I idolized Timothy Leery npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Health is a state of mind. Keep a positive mental attitude, and you’ll do just fine. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I’m still being mocked by Wall Street, and Banker friends. Then I show them a chart compared to the Nasdaq and S&P since 2016. They go what the “F” Bro. “Well it’s too Late now!” They are clueless. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft X is a honeypot that a government can attack. Nostr is a firefly. As many as you knock down, there is still another to carry the torch. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Where can I get a bottle of this? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Posing a question here? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Me at Waste Management Phoenix Open on Wednesday. Ickkkkk! https://image.nostr.build/15c38208d79cddfec4301779f30cc7dfa1d2fc1bf5b22cd66df380b51e8b1dd9.jpg npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Just started using ZapplePay. Pay with an Emoji, is working well for now. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🤙 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🤙 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🤙 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🤙 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 👍 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft They have no F’n clue yet what it will be like to live in a political system that everything thy need will be provided to them, as long as you follow their rules, and expect no more than they decide your worthy of. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft A one world government is coming your way. Stand in line, and be doled out the rations they determine you are suitable to receive. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Apparently there is no incentive to fix a broken system. There is too much profit to be made by the people running that system to want to fix it. The only way to stop those people from raping their constituents is to opt out of their system. If enough people opt out, then that diminishes their power over us. At that point maybe some people entering into governmental or political positions will actually be more concerned and caring about their constituents, than they do about their own profits. Bitcoin is the opt out, if you learn how to use it properly. The ETF’s are just another way to Opt in to their system, that they can fix for their own profits. Educate and Simplify the use of Bitcoin so even a 3rd grader could understand and safely use it is of paramount importance. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft This is why everybody with any kind of computer sitting around that can spin up a mining algorithm, should do it. Let the Government run around like Chickens with their heads cut off trying to run down everybody doing it. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft People are Lemmings being led off the cliff by their leaders. Be that Lemming, that says “He’ll No, I’m going another way.” npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft My 2 cents on this subject. Sure it’s not easy. You start it as a hobby consuming some of your spare time for the love of it. It blossoms into something that is consuming more than just your spare time, but it’s still for the love of it. However, you have to put a roof over your head, and feed the family. 1 million people seeing one of your blog posts, or videos in a months time contributing 1 or 2 cents. Not there yet! Possibly using your expertise, to sell your services one on one to people needing that training! Speaker fees at paid events. Etc. Good luck and much appreciated. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I had a dream last night. The establishment leveled its biggest weapon against Bitcoin in the shape of an ETF. It blasted it with every bit of ammunition they had at their disposal. With sweat dripping from their brows, and dead ASICs in crumbles lying in large piles of rubbish, they declared it defeated. Out of the ruble, a small blue light lit up. Tick Tock, Next Block!! npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Would like to zap Blue Collar Bitcoin, but have been unable to for some reason, on this IPad, with Damus app. My Zaps to everybody else go thru. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft If it comes down to Trump / Biden. At least Trump is nobodies puppet. Will need to go with Trump! npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I think we are on a roller coaster on its way to a better world with Bitcoin. Just like a roller coaster with its very frightening ups and downs, it eventually comes in for a soft and calming landing. If you like the thrill, you get back on for the next go of it. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I have always had a problem with Traders! I work at a shit show job, to earn money to put food on the table and a roof over my head. I use any extra money that I can put aside to invest. I invest in things or people I believe in. I buy into a company that makes stuff that I use, and like the product. I invest in a company that provides a service that I like, and make use of. I want to own a piece of that, and hopefully be rewarded by the successes of these companies that I put my hard earned money into. I’m not interested in swapping in and out of investments just to see how well i can play the game. Just to stack a few more pennies on my Cash stack. I buy Bitcoin with some of my hard earned money because i believe it is the future of money. I like the way it works. I like to study it, and use it the way it was designed to be used. I like to see the work that developers are putting forth to improve its use case for the average non technical person. I don’t trade it. I Stack it, and use it. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Everyday investors, who know nothing of what Bitcoin really is, and only in it to stack more fiat currency into their bank accounts. If they would just educate, they would buy and store the real deal. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Bitcoin could give a shit about an ETF! Tick Tock/Next Block! Just doin it’s thing. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I love this country in which I was born, but if this should happen, I would seriously consider getting out. I’ll find a place in this world where some freedom and a moral compass still exists. The powers that be here, have become a swamp of decadence, and corruption. Even if you are a good person trying your best to make it right, you would be stuck in the muck of it. It will take decades to unwind. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Let me see if I got this right. Buying into a Bitcoin ETF, is essentially taking bitcoin off the market and locking it up in a cage, never to be used as it was designed to be used. It’s being seen as a commodity, but this commodity is not used to make anything with, and also never disintegrates or spoils. It’s not being used as a utility of which it was meant to be. It’s just a storage container for Fiat money. You put the Fiat in the storage compartment, and hopefully like a fine wine, the fiat appreciates in value. You can then take the Fiat out of storage and spend it. The storage container which is Bitcoin remains with the ETF, waiting for more Fiat to be stored in it. But isn’t the value of Bitcoin really in its utility. What if Bitcoin has no utility any longer because the ETF’s have captured so much of it, that the network is not really used any longer. Wouldn’t the value of this container become less over time if its utility was diminished. Kind of like a barrel storing a fine wine, but instead the wine spoils in the barrel. The barrel is no good any longer and must be discarded. If the people that have their fiat stored in this container find that the fiat is not appreciating as they expected, they will want to remove their fiat from these containers and store it somewhere else. Will the ETF’s then be stuck with these containers that will never spoil, and find themselves in a spot that they will need to dump these empty containers on the open market, so that they may eventually become the utility that they were supposed to be. Will the network survive this? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Looking at the Fiat price of Bitcoin in the last few years always reminds me of the Song Lyrics - “Push it down, it comes out sideways.” npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft This is on Facebook! npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft In nature, becoming a weakling in the heard, depending on the heard to protect you, then the predator will eventually pick you off to feed their need. The heard won’t always help you. Learn to protect yourself. Don’t be a weakling. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Jaimie Dimon sits in on a congressional committee seeking to ban Bitcoin, all while monopolizing the banking industry. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Early on, I got hacked goofing around with a shit coin. It taught me a lesson. Either learn this stuff, or trust somebody else to learn it for you. When it comes to hard earned money, I prefer to learn it myself. Bitcoin is the easiest, simplest to learn. All other Crypto is a big mess of goobly glop. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft The US dollar will drain your natural resources. The US will endlessly print money to buy your resources. As they do your classes of your people will divide into more disperse upper, middle and lower classes of people. As the printed money filters down to the lower class it will buy them less, and they will need social welfare to survive. As your upper class requires more dollars for your resources, the US will print more $ and send them to you. No skin off them. They have a license to print endlessly. Your food supply will be bought up by the US for amounts of dollars that makes it non-sense for your producers to sell there product into your own economy, therefore starving out your lower class, or at least providing to them a inferior source of nutrition leading to obesity in many people in your nation. You only need to look at the lower class of America to see that has already happened to them. Bitcoin is your real defense against this scenario playing out. Force foreign money printers to buy your resources with Bitcoin. The value of your Bitcoin will rise faster then inflation. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft A friend of mine sent me this from his Senator. Sensible legislation written by industry experts is reasonable, but legislation submitted by Sen. Warren written by the Banking Industry in their own self interest is just wrong. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Just thought I would bring this over to Nostr from X, because this guy does not seem to be here yet, and this is a well written piece about Africa. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft My credit card commercial asks; “what do you have in your wallet?” I say SATS, how about you. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Grapefruit npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Higher fees make it even easier to Hodl down. Does not break my spirit. Hope traders get burned. Trading Bitcoin is fools fiat. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Apparently Senator Warren believes USA CBDC’s will render Bitcoin useless. However she’s trying to kill Bitcoin before CBDC’s release. Why not leave Bitcoin alone, and let the public decide what’s better? She obviously does not want to compete. She knows she’ll lose against superior technologically sound money. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Just asking for a friend: under Sen. Warrens rules, if I swap a pig for a cow with my local farmer, do I need a money transmission license? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Works when I zap you, but not Blue Collar npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I’m on Damus. Just get Zap failed to create invoice. Have zapped others without this problem. Using alby wallet npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft How come @npub1a3h…fg37 does not have Zaps set up. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Stay out of the fiat system. Spend Bitcoin with another Bitcoiner. Earn Bitcoin from another bitcoiner. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I think the USA should take a hard look at a different tax scheme. Income, and Capital Gains taxes have been gamed so badly, that the IRS is just a big mess. I think Consumption Tax, which exempts direct labor, property rental, and Charitable contributions, would be more straight forward and fair to all. You could abolish the IRS, and the cost of all that documentation and cost of chasing down tax evasion. And I mean no other taxation at the state levels either. No additional taxes from property tax, etc. A straight forward % across the board to fund the Fed, and state governments. Collection of this tax would be from point of purchase, and sent directly to one government department. That government department would redistribute the collected funds to Fed, state, and communities as necessary to fund their operations. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I put primal on my iPad, but struggling with set up. Transferred my pub key from Damus. Went in and picked everything up, but won’t let me comment, add, Zap or anything at all. Went into profile and added my lightning wallet address, but it won’t stick. I hit save, exit the setup and come back and it’s not there any longer. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Agreed, but the Bitcoin Main Chain should be looked at like a savings account. Use it to store funds. Lightning is a spending account. Move funds from the main chain to lightning as needed for spending funds. Hopefully their will be favorable legislation to allow for no capital gains on spends up to some reasonable threshold. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft It’s not a horrible problem. Most of us will use Bitcoin responsibly, as a store of value. In some way, it’s OK that they can track the fact that some entity sent a good deal of value to a not so good entity for a not so good purpose. They can’t stop the payment, but they can track it back to you. Would certainly give a bad person pause to use Bitcoin for any illegal activities. Absolute privacy in any system is a myth. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Mining on Ocean with a mini bitcoin miner. Think that the more average Joe’s we can get on mining set ups, the better off we will be to fight off miner centralization. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Just sent my wallet of Satoshi in US, 2 cents to myself from another wallet. Still working for me. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft My wallet is still on my iPhone, and still is working. Moved most out now. Only 2 cents in it now. Will continue to move a couple cents in and out til it stops working npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Blackrock with the help of US gov. Is driving the price of BTC down, so they can pick it up cheap.

Binance will come out just fine after the dust has cleared. Does the DOJ accept Bitcoin in payment of fines? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Yea, I signed up for it months ago. Curious, I guess. Always have been.

Seeing as I like what Jack’s behind, I signed in to it. Went thru a bunch of the suggested Follows. Seemed like a bunch of corporate news media outlets. After seeing the feed, I was not impressed with what it was giving me. Then without having posted anything at all, I received my first follower. Satan! What? Anybody here have any experiences to share on BlueSky yet? npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Almost feels like we’re coming out of the dark ages. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Just watched the Movie “Human B”. Very inspiring take on what Bitcoin is really all about. Forget how Wall Street thinks they will make a ton of money with it. Think more about how it saves the planet. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I always wonder in cases like this, if he is just the fall guy for somebody much bigger above the law. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft An economics teacher once told me; “If the gain from a financial crime outweighs the penalty of the crime, do the crime.” npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Sorry folks, must have hit the plus button twice to double post this. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft The next attack on Bitcoin; npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft The next attack on Bitcoin; npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Just as it is now, it’s our journey to consume information. To discern what’s this and what’s that, and decide what’s true and what’s not. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft BTC Sessions with Ben npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Good Idea, However! As soon as your Bitcoins leave your address’s and go somewhere else, then somebody wants to know how much you profited from the exchange. Lost at sea or not! npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Thoughts about exchanging Bitcoin the other day! Our government wants to charge you Capital Gains on Bitcoin transactions. You bought it originally with Fiat money’s you earned, and were already taxed on. You own it now. Then you want to use it to buy something or exchange it for something else. Say that you want to exchange it for another Crypto (God forbid). The Government likes to think of it as, you sold the Bitcoin for Fiat, and then purchased the other commodity with the Fiat. If you did that, then OK. I would say that you are using their monetary system that they maintain, and they have a right to charge you a rent of using it. But you did not do that. You operated completely outside of their monetary system to make the trade thru an exchange and in my mind then they have no right to charge you rent to use their system. You could have traded the Bitcoin for Services or Products with someone that wants Bitcoin in exchange. Then again you did not use their monetary system for these exchanges. What if you had 4 chairs, and you wanted a bed. What if you found somebody that wanted 4 chairs that had a bed that you wanted. If you were to trade that person your 4 chairs for that persons bed, would your government want to charge you a tax on that transaction. If you exchanged for Fiat money and then the bed maybe OK, but in the example above you operated completely outside of the their monetary system, and therefore the government should not be charging you rent to use their system in the form of taxes. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft I recently found myself thinking of how to fix the insider trading dilemma. It’s seemingly an impossible task to tell a politician or Wall Street insider they cannot profit on trades based on insider information. They may not be able to do it themselves, but of course then they can tell family members or friends of this inside information, and let them make the trades to make them rich, and share it with the person giving them the information. What then? Prevent family and friends from using any inside information to make trades. How much time and effort would be spent to chase that down? It’s a vicious and impossible circle in my mind. Maybe these are a solution; npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft 🧤 npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft What is America thinking to create more money to build weapons of mass destruction to send to other countries. How many of those weapons will end up in the hands of our enemies anyway, just as they did in Afghanistan. Meanwhile people are pouring into the US, via our southern borders illegally, without any documentation of whom these people are, or where they came from. I don’t mind that people in the world want to come to America. I would welcome those hard working, honest people and families to help build America into a great nation. But why can it not be done in an organized, and safe way for all of us Americans. There are too many to fast, and not enough infrastructure to house them safely. They should be properly vetted, and approved for entry in their own countries before they waist their time making the long trip to come here. This is where we should spend our money. Not for weapons of WAR! npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Yes, self custody or at very least transfer it out to your own wallet and back to the exchange at some regular basis to prove they still have it. Would be best to have a quarterly day that everybody on an exchange does that to prove they have it. Other than that, multisig exchanges that can’t spend your Bitcoin unless they have your signing key. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Had same experience in Florida last year. Uber picked me up at the Airport in Orlando for a ride 2 hrs. Away along the East Coast. When the Uber driver arrived to pick me up, he did not seem to know at first where he was taking me. After loading my bags in his car, he said, “Oh no, I can’t do this ride, that’s too far. Uber will not pay me enough for this ride. They take too much away from me for their fee. I would never be able to get a fair back from there.” I asked, what can I do. He told me that any Uber or Lyft driver in this area will tell me the same thing. But he offered a solution. He said if I would cancel the ride with Uber, that he would make the trip with me for the same as I was paying Uber. I threw caution to the wind, and took him up on that. I can see how that could go terribly wrong, but it didn’t, and the driver was terrific. I even took his number and had him pick me up at the destination and take me back to the airport without going thru the Uber App. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Don’t let banks tell you how you can spend your hard earned money.

Buy Bitcoin. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Wrote my congress persons today, letting them know I support responsible cryptocurrency regulation in the USA, that supports the right of Americans to have financial freedom from the tyranny of the US dollar. Fell on deaf ears I’ll bet. After all, they are very old congress people, that just don’t get it. They’re just lined up at the government printing press, collecting their fiat before everybody else, just like clockwork. Why would they want to do anything to change that. npub1dxeg0dk95wdxetvtj7zqep6tn8eqffkzz7h056njraa8uajqr5jsr92cyj Coney_Croft Not for dollars.

Miners with a better reputation of balancing mined transactions of higher and lower fee’s earn a better reputation and therefore a better chance to win a block reward.
