Ok ok... can please someone with enough skill generate an image with a honey badger riding on a nostrich? Would zap big if something useful comes out of this.

Significant? News Article: McHenry, Torres reintroduce crypto tax reform bill News: A bipartisan group of lawmakers will revive a push today to reform crypto tax reporting provisions that date back to 2021’s bipartisan infrastructure law. The primary focus of the Keep Innovation in America Act, co-led by House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), is narrowing the definition of a crypto “broker” for tax purposes. It’s a tweak to crypto regulations first introduced and passed through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. When the infrastructure bill’s text became public in 2021, the crypto sector was shoved into its first major political fight – a fight they’d eventually lose. Advocates said at the time that the law’s treatment of digital assets would saddle non-financial firms – such as crypto miners and certain software providers – with “impossible-to-fulfill reporting requirements.” The revived crypto bill from McHenry and Torres would address that and also go further by sharply limiting the federal government’s ability to define what a “digital asset” is. The IIJA gave the Treasury Department broad discretion to define crypto, and the Keep Innovation in America Act would limit that power McHenry said in a statement that the bill would rectify “misguided policy and regulatory overreach [that] threatens to push this dynamic industry – and its potential benefits – overseas.” Torres, one of the crypto sector’s top Democratic allies on Capitol Hill, said it would provide “much-needed legal and regulatory clarity to help cement our continued place as the global leader in crypto technology and innovation.”

For the european plebs... Relai have gotten 4.5m new funding. Some interesting things on the roadmap for this year: "The platform plans to launch several new features this year, including zero-fee trading (in Q2), a white-label product that will let other fintechs offer fiat-to-bitcoin trading (in Q3) and Lightning Network support (in Q4)" https://www.theblock.co/post/217692/bitcoin-investment-platform-relai-funding

Its time for a 2 hour escape from Nostrville. LFG

Cant see it often enough. Peter Praet, Chief Economist at the ECB, trying to explain how money is made. Opt out of their shitshow #Bitcoin

Ok whats the plan here? Shut down all terrestrial Internet connections and only enable a internet connection over starlink after full KYC? Creating a censored and fully monitored version of the web? How high are the odds that they will try to perform such a move and how fast will we circumvent their stupidity?

They still don't get it.

Good morning plebs. The corn sitting in deep frozen cold storages not moving at all reached a new ATH. Greshams law brings the heat.

I've heard Twitter is dying. Funny how the plebs managed to escape 2-3 months before this happened and issued the blue bird to share their npubs ^^ there are no coincidences

To all the degen gamblers out there. If you want to satisfy your gambling addiction without losing big, try LN Markets. Login with your LN Wallet, deposit some sats and play a game. Have seen some bear traders today on here and they will get rekt big time. Playing with small sats could save you some pain.(Not gambling would do the trick even better)

Public Lightning Nodes map... enjoy the beauty.

I cringed so hard... look at this scammy weasel:

GM&PV Plebs. Day 6 without the bluebird, enjoying the clownworld detox. Starting this week with pow in the gym.

The year is 2096.. Hyperbitcoinization happened decades ago and humanity lives through a second Renaissance. They managed to set up a base on the moon and the first "interplanetary" Bitcoin Node goes online. They also run a Lightning Node. Would you open a channel to them?

If they ever will understand what permissionless money can do for them? Nation state level rug pulls are even more entertaining than shitcoin rugpulls.

Good morning and PV lovely orange people. Enjoy your Sunday with your families and create some enjoyable memories.
