Many people (especially in the UK) put all their money into property. "My property is my pension" they say, and some even invest in buy-to-lets. But property is a sitting duck for governments needing to raise funds. You can't move the property and they know you own it. All they need to do is run the money printer, inflate the money supply and your house goes "up in value" (when the reality is that it was just their currency getting less valuable). Because your home is "up in value" you owe Capital Gains Tax. The UK is just discussing a "National Tax" which is exactly this - a tax when you sell your own home - on capital gains conjured out of thin air. #BitcoinIsBetter

Government 'protecting us' has direct and immediate 2nd order effects. In this case, being blocked from using AI. The descent continues. image

The Bank of England asked the people to submit designs for the next generation of bank notes. Looks like someone would prefer an Aqua Wallet . @Samson Mow image

Watching the bitcoin price too much, it's easy to feel disappointed. The rush of dopamine you get when All Time Highs are hit always has its balancing emotional comedown soon after. Remember, by definition, price spends most of the time not at the ATH. If you Dollar Cost Average into an asset that goes up over the longer timeframe, your returns are *increased* the more volatile the price action is. The volatility puts more bitcoin into your strong hands at lower prices as the speculators are shaken out. Crazy price action is the Universe smiling on HODLers. Be happy!

Family member is on holiday with some of his uni friends. Turns out an Economics degree curriculum at a UK Russell Group university doesn't even mention the world's second largest asset class that underlies the whole financial system. 🤣 image

Bitcoin is going up in value against major assets and has overtaken Google and Amazon. But most people ignore something even better: When a company goes up in value, a shareholder has some of that value diluted away via share issuances and employee stock options. Bitcoin is the opposite. If you own bitcoin, your share of the value pie slowly increases over time as coins get lost, and some people burn coins. image

The first job of government is protection and security. The UK government is utterly failing, and our journalists are too scared (or politically correct) to report on this and force discussion. Something needs to change. image

Not many greater pleasures than buying incredible venison direct from the game keeper with bitcoin (apart from eating it, obviously) image
