Trump has floated the idea of HSAs and it appears the House Ways and Means is circulating language for a bill to do it. Using HSA's to fund medical costs for the needy is a FAR better option than the current Medicare/Medicaid programs. It allows for competition and less market manipulation in the healthcare industry. However, I have to wonder if part of this is to inject more government funds into the stock market to show "pretend" growth. Currently, with HSAs, you're allowed to invest your funds so they may grow over time. Better than just dollars sitting their eroding in value. I believe roughly 35% of current HSA funds are invested in the market. If we replace the $2 trillion spend in Medicaid and Medicare, and that 35% holds, then that's $700 billion that will end pushing up stock market prices.

I appreciate nostr:nprofile1qqsw5t3us9xs3gmclzjm37hvk2yy6pv9t96utjjttsj794hexc5x79qzl2gvy giving users the ability to pick and choose the type of node they want to use. You can use Core and choose v29 or 30. You can run Knots if you choose. This is the way it should be done. Maintainers shouldn't be forcing their customers into one path or another but making it easy for node runners to choose what they they run. I hope nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl is also making it this easy to choose.

I finally figured why I kept having so many issues with nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kytcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uv45qez and nostr:nprofile1qqs8u5uf0rd2p9wmdxxaznpn54tkq8wwspmljy0cjqw6jdgm5kv84dsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyw8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtngd9nksmrfva58getj9e3k7mf0k6wzcv working together. In a fairly regular basis, Zeus would stop being able to create invoices. I have tried this combo, using the LND Hub, without success several times. It always ends up having connection issues. Recently, I realized that when I was opening the settings in the admin section, my pwd manager was adding the LNBits pwd to the encrypted macaroon field. When I saved the settings of those I was there to change, it would save this too. Removing auto-fill for this URL has stopped this from occurring. Now, no problems. All our wallets connect and create invoices without an issue.

I'm not a big fan of Michael Saylor.. He does his thing, I do mine, and Bitcoin doesn't care. However, after this recent episode between nostr:nprofile1qqswfcayv7uvng4y5t8ywshhkatz9q7xvh32c97ujn5dvgrz3yqpz4gpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcjunvlu and nostr:nprofile1qqsxcngnr0zj70fv9cc4u9z2plh20fa2aekeyserjm6pq4gdaljhkfcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z79xsa3x , I have come to appreciate his stance of not supporting any changes to Bitcoin.
