Been a horrible 48 hours and no one close to me even lost anything. For those that think it’s awesome, or chiming in with their, “I knew better because hindsight”, I will pray for you. In the interim, here is a picture of a delicious steak I took out of the freezer before this whole fiasco. #foodstr

There are some very dark souls with some very dark projections.

Watching people gloat over this failure to satisfy their own vanity is sad. Sometimes you just don’t have to say things. No one in Bitcoin should ever want anything like this to happen.

This is a dark day.

Has anyone ever gone to jail after a congressional testimony? How could anyone care about this theater?

I had a cash emergency pop up when the buyer of our condo couldn’t get a clear to close from some third rate mortgage company he decided to use. At the same time, we had a contract on a new home that we were purchasing that was supposed to close after that sale, but now we were in a position where we could either close on the new home without the cash from our condo sale, or lose the home back to the market. We decided to close on the home, but it required borrowing cash against our Bitcoin for 3 weeks, or selling our Bitcoin. We decided on a very low LTV and borrowed via @npub1ex7m...vyt9 . I will admit, that I didn’t love the scenario, but the ease of the process and the team at Strike were incredible throughout. They even let us close our loan early when the condo sale finally happened. I can’t say enough good things about the Strike loan product. Sadly, sometimes Fiat gets in the way of life. Thanks to @jack mallers and team for building a tool to bridge the two worlds. This is not an endorsement of borrowing against your #bitcoin . Frankly, I recommend against it. However, it was the best option for us at the time, and props where props are due for the incredible product and service offered.

A guy who wiped his phone at an airport was detained, and law enforcement putatively had the right to go through his phone because of a made up kiddie porn allegation. Meanwhile the entire Epstein class was endlessly involved in underage sex stuff and not one ounce of energy is being expended on any of them. This system is NGMI. No one under 60 believes any of the charade.

I forgot just how cringe this was. 8,000 layers of cringe. View quoted note →

Every #bitcoin “addition” to a DATs balance is some lesser amount of bitcoin purchased than if the investors just bought the bitcoin themselves.

Do yourself a favor and watch on @IndeeHub . It’s worth giving some value for watching this one. View quoted note →

Did the miners take a long weekend? What is with these block times?

So the Iranians will drone bomb oil tankers, but not the U.S. blockade sitting 27 feet away. View quoted note →

Election fraud could be the best PsyOp of all time. None of it matters and they have people at each other’s throats swearing how much they matter. Really the perfect op. View quoted note →
