Gm nostriches, buying a t shirt for my kid of her favourite band (smallpools) and out of no where, “do you want to pay with the bitcoin lightning network?”. Merchant adopt is happening, medium of exchange is building steam, or maybe, the days of fiat are beginning to end.

How to start my meeting with my fiat mine department head? Current favourite starter for 10; How honest would you like me to be? I like doing research, I don’t find much value in teaching shit I don’t agree with to students who couldn’t care less. I’m not part of the uni pension scheme, you fiat has now power with me. I have zero ambition to work towards your pointless fiat goals to gain a promotion, I will never include how my work is promoting the school’s DEI aims, they literally work against me. I’ve made a vow to Lord Nakamoto on high that I can only learn about bitcoin, so all the other bollocks you want me to teach will just be read off the slides (as some of my colleagues actually do) I’ve run the numbers and I don’t need my fiat wage, so how are you going to convince me to stay? GFY?!?!?!?

Gm nostriches, after a nasty break in my #40hpw this weekend, some serious chats going on, @cjasonmaier mentioned you by name and then @nat brunell “Bitcoin is for everyone” came in useful too. Have SO many books to get through (may actually have to quit the fiat mine to get on top of them), but will have to read them both before I pass them on. Saying that, #heroquest with kid got a little wild when Quindrak turned into a dragon!!!!!! Any how, #catstr and #coffeechain locked in on this Monday morning and oh, meeting with the fiat mine department head?!?!? Will I use the shawshank Red line? “I’m sorry, I just don’t give a shit” Oh and @Uno I got way too excited about so many notifications morning, not helpful.

Ge nostriches, absolutely fascinating morning news bbc biased bilge, but the subtle shift in what Zackie P was chatting about was a combination of intriguing and terrifying. Wealth tax, don’t get me started, but “more debt isn’t a problem” “look at Japan, they have nearly 3 times more debt than us” “people want to buy our debt it is an affect”. Who has been feeding him these lines? These are very specific, and in places technically correct, but without the contextual nuances that make these statements economically dangerous. He shitted on liz truss but would be offering unfunded give says, much worse than the simple unfunded tax cuts she offered, that should have boosted growth. Stretched my self taught economics knowledge to the limit trying to explain why only doesn’t make sense, to someone who thinks billionaires don’t need so much money and pitches the argument of cutting disabled funding……. No one wants their benefits cutting…….. but joker said something about this, it’s not about the money they get, it’s about the message they send that if you earn it, they will take it.

“Investment in public services” Spending tax payer money and debt on capital and operational spend that does make a return. No to justifying spending for the “public good”, if it costs “public debt”, we’re all going to suffer.

Gm nostriches, looking down at my #coffeechain, how dark am I feeling? As dark as the morning, as dark as my cat, as dark as my coffee ☕️, as dark as my heart or as dark as Bitcoin sentiment? Shit, that went too far, not that dark!!!! Hey hey, we’ve still got our self custody alloydal assets, price is simply a measure of how few people understand it/a measure of its utility as the most liquid asset, meaning lower prices actually evidence more value and a buying opportunity……….( selling some miners this morning as their btc value just spiked!!!!!) Happy Sunday freaks, it’s all good, read something new today, try and learn something, the world will be a better place if you do. 😘

Gm nostriches, #coffeechain one dispatched, no.2 on the cards. Happy dad moment; making a bacon sandwich for my thirteen year old, who’d never eaten on before, until I offered her a £1 on weekend. Financial incentives can work and don’t have to turn into a recurring cost. Medium dad day ahead; after watching wicked last night, off to watch for good this morning. Just for the record, “the sexist man alive” really doesn’t do much for me and that whole vote raises so many questions…. In other news, saw this pic of a meeting to discuss an Ukraine peace plan, all I could think was “that’ll be a shittest remake of ‘reservoir dogs’ ever”!!! !

Gm nostriches, while Black Friday sales are in full swing in the Bitcoin market, take a moment to think about those poor/deluded “true north” guys, who told everyone willing to listen #mstr provided addition alpha on top of Bitcoin!!!! I had money tied up in accounts, I went heavy Mstr, but I didn’t sell any btc for it, but happy a checked out of some to solidify loss and held in gold for the last month of so. While we’re over 30% of all time highs in btc, those stock bros are down 60%. Volatility and “alpha” work both ways. A strong buy? Hmmm, given markets are currently closed and btc dumped last night, can see it falling even further.

Imagine the chancellor, in a week’s time, realising that tax is not a means of raising money, but a means on positively incentivising behaviours that result in better lives of the individuals the politicians serve. Kind of reflects Peter Drucker’s view of a business, it is not to make a profit, rather if the business is successful, it will deliver the needs and wants of a customer, and as a side note and a measure of efficiency, a small profit might result. Ah yeah, I forgot, Rachel from complaints has never understood how businesses work. Citizens are cattle, people wanting to leave will have to pay what they owe. They must be milked and if they run dry, it’s time for a pound of flesh.

Ga nostriches, while this is a little treat to help my fingers not get hit so much while stamping my seedphrase (get it done freaks), realised this could also be part of my home defences for unwanted intruders. Guns are a big no in the UK, knives will likely be outlawed soon, so suppose it’s just gonna have to be a 2.5lb lump hammer to the face!!!!! On the plus side for them, they won’t bleed out and on the plus side for me, I won’t get done for murder if I slice an artery……….. always thinking my friends.

Here we go…..

Gm nostriches, rolling into a dark Thursday, with a night’s sleep that I would care to forget… 🥱 #coffeechain one completed, second cup already underway and it’s just turned 6. The Keynes book I can’t put down is on fire, the maths on saving and investment made zero sense (which strangely makes sense), but the solution he found in his finite wisdom “the fact that this might involve budget deficits was not important” The logic behind the connection between Keynesian economics and Keynesian politicians suddenly comes into crisp focus. #generaltheory
