And one of the first things DTCC lobbied to implement was doing away with “bearer bonds” and the issuance of physical stock certificates - which effectively allowed Individual investors to take personal custody of their assets. nostr:note14vdcz5mfwd48q22znchgttnrh0tl6t7w7g3ez0ssvkz6vawzhnls39ggzm

If you don’t run a node, run a node. If you do run a node, this video by Satashi21 is quite objective, easy to follow, and high-value IMO. Stay Humble, Spend Sats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck4Rf1hX2is

When the US Government embraces Bitcoin, Bitcoin will become an asset of “strategic economic importance”. Core Devs will be villainized. It will be generally accepted that such Devs be certified, Licensed and pass State clearance. They’ll work out of a monolithic, windowless building on the central East Coast. Ossification by individual node-runners will be penalized. Then Pressure will be put on other nations to comply, and most will. The US Core Developer Agency will expand to include Devs from many (compliant) nations. Node-farms as large as Mining-farms will overwhelm the remaining Pleb resistance. Perhaps some Nation-States will be incentivized to engage this Node War. It’s unlikely they will succeed for long. Known-Entity UTXOs will be given preferential treatment/fees. “Unknown” transactions will be capped and fee-taxed. Then disallowed altogether, and such Bitcoin lost. —————————————————————————— I’m posting this in hopes that I will be made to look like an idiot for these suspicions. Because if none of this is verifiably impossible, it’s almost 100% probable.

Those thousand or so Bitcoin OGs who still have corn from the early years must all be Billionaires right now from all the selling they’re continually doing. Is it all under the counter to Over The Counter…or on KYC exchanges I wonder…?

When the team that will be Pulling meet-n-greets you and has you sign-off as an accredited investor before they lead you to your place on the Rug…. …“In addition, Circle wrote that selling stockholders identified in its prospectus are offering 19.2 million shares, up from the previous 14.4 million.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/usdc-stablecoin-parent-circle-raises-153048748.html

Wondering if anyone is using Ollama on Umbrel to self-host AI? Specifically, how is the user experience, setup, and if more than 4gb RAM would be required…?

Keep in mind that Wall St plays with other people’s money. They don’t care about being early, or maximizing gains. They care about confirmation that an investment won’t piss-off their clients. Higher monthly closes are huge in the front offices of Wall St. nostr:note17q8yjszh43twv7qa73tgrhtd0tmr0ddjt3gh25dwqa3v4kchyfds6fhrtt

The thing about Bitcoin is that there has always been, will always be, a remnant who understand what it Means. And it will always attract hoards of newcomers who will question that remnant. The newcomers come in droves, in waves if you will. Yet the remnant will abide, learning slowly, persistently. We don’t need to know how this will end. Just hodl, stack, and spend. That is all. We only need to remember that the path is freedom. And never forget that. https://www.jeffbridges.com/the-way-its-always-been-done

The Celsius Fraud case is one of the most fascinating and fiat injustices happening right now. It’s protracted, but the elevator version is: The Celsius Bankruptcy team (separate from Mashinsky, porn girl, et al) argued in the most-recognized corrupt court in the US, the SDNY Court, that according to Bankruptcy Law, everyone who withdrew their Bitcoin/Crypto 90 days prior to the official Insolvency was required to give their assets back - to be distributed to the other rug-pulled (i.e. in lieu of the Celsius team having to fully fund their scam). It’s been ongoing, but the Celsius Litigation team has continually hard-balled this highly contested law. The argument for the affected is that the Bankruptcy Law-card they’re playing applied to earlier Ponzi schemes (like Enron) in which Insiders withdrew prior to bankruptcy, having inside info. The SDNY has complied, and 1,000s of Individuals who withdrew (most knowing that Celsius was on the ropes) are being forced by a single State court order to “claw-back” their assets - at their value in early 2022. Such that those who foresaw and avoided the rug-pull are being compelled to bail-out the admittedly “completely fraudulent” firm for the obligations of those who did not see the collapse coming. Keep in mind: most of those Crypto holders have seen their withdrawals go significantly down, even to nothing, while the Bitcoin holders have seen their withdrawals go up 5x. Keep in mind, Celsius’ “Director of Institutional Sales” did a porn vid in which she admitted she was in a financial firm, didn’t know why she was there, wasn’t sure if that was what she wanted to do in her life, yadda yadda. The early Court docs glaringly admit Celsius was completely fraudulent. I know there are very few Bitcoiners affected by this, so it isn’t Zap-bait. But this is a clear and massive injustice for 1000s of people (but not Nation-States #linkBhutan) who saw what was coming, protected themselves, and now are being forced to bow-down to a bought and payed for singular Court in the US to bail-out the ignorant. My 2 sats. Thanks for reading! Here’s a fun kitten!

The War is upon us. Choose your side. Or choose both…run Knots and a Bitaxe.

I’m becoming convinced the central attack on Bitcoin by whomever is to destroy the Bitcoin Devs. Discredit them among themselves, and within the node/mining community. They were the closest thing to a “head” to cut-off. Perhaps Ossification is a page in the Fiat playbook.

I kinda hate to say this, but I will. Lightning Network is like giving Plebs full access to trad-fi “off-shore” funds. One transaction, then all else is hidden. What comes back is an IRS nightmare not worth pursuing. RUN UR OWN NODE

Lightning layer is still not even realized, and underrated. May likely cancel out the AI fud, because it adds orders of magnitude. I fucking love what has already happened on Bitcoin. Let’s settle down and invest in that. Not lever-up what is possibly probable. nostr:note1x808c7p534eafe0t0dzw86p9wnkpy99gt4a0euvxzdrnlslp8tmseygph3

I want to be with you but if I pay for a $5 coffee today on a credit card I can maybe pay it off next month for $4.82 in sats maybe We are ALL the failing-currency refugees now! Bitcoin is money up my butt, crossing borders every day, exchange-rating by the hour. I’ll spend fiat when I’m hopeful, spend sats when I’m uncertain. nostr:note1592rhz8ghg4ky7vaj4erfnznpvcw8f5gq7vm02lm7jky66x6rves3mfgxu

Has anyone here set-up a legal Trust Agreement involving cold-storage Bitcoin? Just wondering if you have any advice to offer beforehand. I’m going to establish one, but I already know the Bitcoin aspect is going to be a huge ? for the process. Appreciate you!

Western Bitcoiners of the past handful of years are… ….just… ….now… literally waking up to the Eastern(tm) markets. Bitcoin 24/7 is in no way priced in.
