Well folks it's been fun, but late here, nighty night :-)

Gentle Reminder UK bitcoiners. Remember to use your annual CGT exemption to lock in tax free gains every year. Sell one day, buy back the next. Maths 10K in BTC. It doubles. You sell, you buy, your new base is 20K Next year, it doubles, you sell half, you buy, your new base is now £30K

Tried Peach Bitcoin app. Liked the idea BUT I'm 59, phones are way too fiddly small screens for serious shit. Maps, fine. Doom scrolling, also fine. Anything else? Not if I have ANY other option. Devs - ALWAYS have a web option for those of us with proper screens and keyboards.

This morning I stood on one leg and put my sock on the other foot. RESULT! 10 days since I put my back out:-) Remember young folks, you can stay up with the tech, but your body will start to bugger you about:-)

10% gains on the week. BTC is sound. Keep stacking.

Empires on which the Sun Never Set:- A) British B ) Bitcoin

Politics. It's all about the CENTER! Leftists : Money doesn't grow on trees and planned economies don't work. You have to be supportive of business. Libs (Libertarians) and Rightists : If you don't look after the losers as well, they will outnumber you and blow you up. You cannot enforce your beloved property rights without the agreement of those without property. In the CENTER we like balance. Taxes to invest in common goods like DEFENCE (I NEVER hear Lib Americans complaining about the fact their Armed Forces, Police and Roads are as socialised as European Healthcare). And a business friendly structure so people with good ideas can make money.

BTC going mad volatile. Time to start trading, or stick with stacking sats? Who am I kidding. Trading is mainly a mugs game. Stick to stacking. OK, maybe £1000 to try trading. See how long it lasts....:-)

Does anyone know if Google is logging Nostr notes yet? I'm guessing we are Google free, at least until the Google Relay turns up and everyone proves that FREE beats Decentralised...

Ad hoc reminder that IF you want a decentralised Nostr, about 20% of your relays should be smaller ones. nostr.naut.social is just 4K , UK based.

WHY is bitcoin resilient right now? My take, people have decided that "the next halving will be good" and the market is becoming more efficient, so that price rise should start to get factored in ever earlier. Result - we are starting to feel that this far out. Prices will be volatile, but I suspect that there won't be any big drops from here, and if there are, they will be quickly recovered. Keep stacking :-)

On one hand, loving the move. OTOH, my next bonus is due at the end of April and it looks like the sats will be expensive. Still a total steal on my 5-10 year investment horizon, but still, I hoped to buy at UKP20K...

Unpopular Opinion: Bitcoin is hard money. This is a very good thing, but some people read too much into it. If you live somewhere, you are only ever as sovereign as the laws of that state allow you to be. Bitcoin doesn't change that.
