If I were to move to a #bitcoin standard -/e.g. 90% or more of my income goes straight into Bitcoin, what tools can I use to pay my bills using Bitcoin. A Google search brings up BitPay. And I'm already skeptical.

There's very little like the views you get flying IFR through the layers

Touch sand.

I have been getting bombarded with MMT by multiple social media platforms. Do people who espouse that idea think money is a resource, that money is capital? Money is access to resources and capital. It isn't resources and capital. So when people say that debt isn't a problem, that's it's merely the accounting side of money being spent into the economy, they act as adding money to the economy is a good thing. I disagree. When the economy produces resources and capital, that's good, but, when additional money is arbitrarily created into the economy, it doesn't magically create more resources and capital. Instead that new money chases existing resources and capital. Driving up their price. This is inflation. The MMT response seems to be that they can control inflation by removing money via taxation. But in doing so, they're replacing the daily purchasing decisions of 100s of millions people with a few politicians making government spending decisions on their pet projects. Politicians, of course, are big fans of that. Maybe that's why it's turning up in all my social media platforms.

@Guy Swann are there instructions somewhere on how to join the audionauts on keet?

Good morning.

Nothing reminds me more of how much I hate the government than tax filing season.

I work for a heavily regulated company that is focused on regulatory compliance. What that means is a focus on trying to prevent issues from getting into production code. To me this is an impossible standard. This standard requires human omniscience. So we spend a ridiculous amount of time looking for possible problems instead of solving known problems. I'd rather the focus was reversed: focus on fixing known problems rather than trying to prevent possible problems. But regulators have a different incentive. And they're the reason we do what we do. I need a new job.

Good morning! Flying to the beach today.

I'm a 1A maximalist. The current testimony and questioning in SCOTUS is pretty terrible.

Good morning.

The end of a great day. #avgeek #aviation

I haven't figured out how to internalize Bitcoin value yet. I have to keep translating into USD to that I can comprehend how much something costs.. Is the trick to just always get paid entirely in Bitcoin so that my brain starts to relate my work into Bitcoin rather than USD?
