Handling your own #Bitcoin #Lightning #Node is still a technical & expensive challenge to do properly & *safely* on your own. Not something we can expect the average person to do unless it gets much easier IMO. #selfcustody

Don't consume #Legacy #Mainstream #Media then complain it's melting your brain. You know what you're getting if you decide to watch that junk now.

#BTFD soon?

If the U.S. government decides on a #shitcoin reserve it will mean the shitcoin issuers will control the reserve and no other country will want to own any either unless THEIR government officials are also bribed by said shitcoin issuers. A global pump & dump eventually ensues. If U.S. does go forward with a #Bitcoin only reserve, however unlikely, then it will probably be severely watched, tracked, and expand to the point similar to communications which ended up tracking everyday Americans & beyond. If the U.S. goes forward with a hybrid "everything digital" reserve, then you get the worst of both scenarios. I don't see a good possible outcome in any case. I look at worst case scenarios as these are politicians after all.

Chop Chop Chop...

U.S.A. getting a #Shitcoin reserve? Maybe... Would be biggest #Pump & #Dump in history. Go big or go home I guess... 🤦‍♂️

#Trump's speech at the #WEF... Could be interesting... https://rumble.com/v6ckegs-live-president-donald-trump-addresses-the-world-economic-forum.html

I was watching... And... @Ken Berry, MD mentioned #nostr on his live stream and invited people to come over! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

For every unit of your local #Fiat currency you spend on something other than buying #Bitcoin Always remember the Opportunity Cost of buying something other than #Bitcoin is VERY Expensive, and gets MORE Expensive as time will move on.

As long as your #Bitcoin savings are taxed through Capital Gains or other means to diminish your hard earned wealth, you are not #free.

Whoa... #Fiat crashing against #Bitcoin really increases the #fiat value of #Lightning Channels. Even older small Lightning nodes can become huge now...

Smells like a new #shitcoin wave is arriving. The more people get desperate, the more #shitcoins will look attractive to them IMO.

#TDS is off the charts with some people 😂 #EDS is starting to take some space too 😂 In a few years it'll be something else. Anyway, back to #stacking...

$Trump coin an IRS Honeypot?

I could see #Trump try rugging everyone and replace #Bitcoin by #Trumpcoin for the U.S. strategic reserve. But only if it gets temporarily popular enough. 🤔

KYC-FREE #BITCOIN may very well be the scarcest money & asset on #Earth now. Sad it has come to this 😞 #kycfree #kyc #digitalID

Soooo.... Looks like #Canada will take the food dyes which are banned in other countries! Good news for the manufacturers and food processors, but not so much the population I guess...
