Ga nostriches, they never come out quite a short and succinct as I’d planned, but at least I’ve attempted to back things up where I can. Given we’ve moved into the budget danger zone of everything being the eternal Schroedinger’s cat (simultaneously on and out of the budget), thought it was worth putting some ideas out there. It isn’t about the wealth anymore, it is not knowing what could come next and there are people cheering for it and they haven’t considered the consequences. A country that Villainises the wealthy and breeches property rights isn’t a place you want to be.

Cheers @Implausible Deniability , so ms reeves is thinking of putting up a 20% barrier/hurdle for the wealthy and productive wanting to leave a country looking to take 50% plus of their earnings every year, and quash them with regulations and expensive energy for a measly £2bn a year………… When they’ve borrowed £66bn in the first 6 months of the year. Oh my, they’re putting this shit out there, but it is miles away from actually being able to solve anything, so hat tip @Lyn Alden, “nothing stops this train”, and while my house or my pension remain more than or equal to 20% of my assets, we’re all good, and I won’t be looking over my shoulder on the way out. They’re just assets tied up in the system, ballast to be jettisoned. image

Gm nostriches, dark times in the uk at the moment, sure the government will be looking to put in place id and metal detector barriers in railway stations from now on. Never let a good emergency go to waste. Deep breath, #coffeechain no. 2 looking very likely.

Absolutely love these guys @HODL @Erik Cason @Marty Bent @Danny Knowles , the gulags will be full, either due to the commies (progressives) or the fascists (who are likely not actually real fascists, just people the progressives don’t like, and they question what the words they were told to say actually meant). And we get back to the shawshank redemption @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M I’ll be with these guys, questioning everything they say, realising neither side has it right, both sides are promising free shit paid for by inflation, supporting, but not necessarily joining any”orange party”, but saving in hard money, defunding the federal reserve (or central bank of choice), interacting with people I like, who add value to my life and exchanging my hard currency with them for goods and services. I won’t be drawn into this political bum fight, race to the bottom, as which ever way they take it, it gets damn ugly. What I will say when communism is being presented as “democratic socialism”, the ussr was a socialist republic, and they killed more of “their own” than both world wars combined. I’ll also ask, if you’re living in this socialist utopia, lying in bed, taxing the rich, producing no CO2 (because you loves the greens), who picks up the bills, who grows the food, who pays for the free shit they promise. Yeah, starting with taxing the billionaires seemed ok, but they already pay their fair share, so once they’re bled, the greedy little eyes will move to the millionaires (which doesn’t mean what it once did), and after them, anyone with ANYTHING!!! Oh yeah buddy, it ain’t free and never was, the bills always come due, you brain washed cuck!

Uptober is and was never about fiat denomination. Uptober is about Bitcoin stack go up, conviction go up, freedom go up, Bitcoin stoke go up. When viewed from this perspective, so bullish for the end of the year when some Normies can feel what I’m feeling now. image

Absolutely love reading normie media, with the “generation rent” author Vicky Spratt lording over the asset holders with their wealth being unfairly accumulated at the expense of the renters, becoming “incredibly rich”. They are planning on stealing the paper value of houses that have gone up in value as a result of money printing, to pay for the wealth fare of “generation rent” but also “generation benefits”. If any of this goes ahead it is going to get wild, people will be either taking on loans to pay these taxes or ditching their expensive houses for ones that fall below the threshold (meaning their prices will rise). Real real issues with these holier than thoughtfully journalists gaslighting the ill informed, and the political class threatening everyone else. Scary times in the Uk, I for one, not too worried, will ditch my house no problems, if only I was able to keep it and rent it out, but Labour have already taken out that option. image
