“… Block’s position of ~8,027 bitcoin accumulated from 2020 to 2024 is worth ~$550 million as of April 30, 2024, and MicroStrategy’s position of ~214,400 bitcoin is worth ~$14 billion. On the other hand, the value of cash has barely appreciated in absolute terms in 2024. According to Bloomberg's dollar spot index, it is up ~3.31% YTD as of May 31 before accounting for inflation.”
“While inflation is not a new trend, the magnitude and coordinated nature of monetary and fiscal policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been, for lack of a better word, unprecedented. According to McKinsey’s study of 54 economies that represent 93% of global GDP, governments announced $10 trillion in stimulus in two months, three times more than they did during the 2008-09.”

Hot take: the erratic, inconsistent nature of nostr threading across clients greatly impedes use of multiple clients. Better to pick one half-working client and stick with it, rather than see inconsistent views across clients.

Who said Bitcoin Twitter = popular adoption?
“All State apparatuses use a process of juridification to place themselves outside and above the law through The State of Emergency, while any and all persons already have the potential to be placed outside and beneath the law, thus transforming all Beings into Subjects. The Patriot Act is this par excellence, and how any person—citizen or otherwise—may find themselves branded as an ‘enemy combatant’ through The State of Exception. This is the fundamental form of the State of Emergency that is always-already lying waiting, hidden simply within all legal systems to be activated by whatever crisis may come.”

“The Treasury market has more than doubled over the past 10 years, from $12.5 trillion in 2014 to $27 trillion at the end of May, according to Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association data.

I left Toronto 12 years ago. Never could I have guessed things would fall so far, so fast.
“You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will.”

“Crypto has always been about the form of power which is now enshrined within the modern science of cryptography. It has always been about the capacity to conceal, and to hold secrets for oneself, and how such secrets generate their own intrinsic power from their being as a secret. It is this understanding of power that resides within each of us directly, and there is no person, government, party, or institution that may ever take that away from any of us. It is the knowledge/ power that is anarchism and its final weapon of cryptography in our digital age.”
— Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin by Erik Cason
“US homeowners are now paying an average of $18,118 a year on property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, maintenance, energy and various other expenses linked to owning a home, according to a new Bankrate study.
That’s nearly the cost to buy a used car and represents a 26% increase from four years ago when it cost $14,428 annually to own and maintain a home.”

“If we are to free humanity from the shackles of fiat money and the state’s totalitarian economic control, we must remember that we are only free without the state or their allies of banking and fiat money.”
Welcome to a truly open protocol.
I dispute none of this. My point, however, is about the vampiric US tax regime.
Can’t have the tax cattle wandering off the farm.
And I’ve been and may again be among you.
Say what you will about Ver, but this is simply more grand larceny by the State. This “exit tax” was implemented under the Clinton administration; another way to legalize theft.
“Specifically, when someone gives up their citizenship, their property is treated as having been sold for its fair market value the day before they renounced their citizenship in a ‘constructive sale.’ Under federal tax law, any gain arising from that ‘constructive sale’ must be accounted for in that tax year.”

Sludge people. That’s gonna stick.
We all have our stories of loss during what I’ll generously refer to as the “COVID years.” My family battled through seemingly impenetrable bureaucracies and a period of separation during #LittleMan’s first six months of life; irreplaceable time stolen from us by faceless, unaccountable three-letters. Nothing about our story is unique. Many had it worse by orders of magnitude: families broken, businesses destroyed—the list goes on and on.
To say nothing of the global economic toll wrought at a scale we can hardly imagine and will pay for over generations.
What is common and unquestionable is that craven, power-hungry collectivists and “experts” brought this to each of our doorsteps. The likelihood that those most responsible will face the just consequences of their actions is comically low.
What remains is for each of us to decide what we will do and where we will draw the line when they try again. Because they always try again. For me, the line is clear and bright red.

We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.”
