"The first thing we need to do is stop the insane stuff" - Zia Yusuf #Reform I couldn't have put it better. Political views aside, nearly everyone I've spoken to in the last couple of years thinks this.

Just when you think Reform are starting to become the adults in the room the predictable political backstabbing & egocentric nonsense we have seen from Labour and the Conservatives rears it head. The older I get the more I despair about this stuff. Minimise government. Keep taxes low. Separate money from state. Protect property rights. Protect our borders. And most importantly….. Get out of our way! Where is Gault’s Gorge again?

Dose anyone have a mining setup that uses there excess from solar? I’m looking to use heat for hot water demand and utilise the excess KW when available in mining. P.S. I’ll be off grid. Would love to see it operating in the wild. Do you use batteries or go direct from solar? Do you have a list of resources you used to help you set up your could forward to me. I’m trying to gather as much information as I can to help with this. So far I’ve found great resources from @100AcresRanch & @NakamotoHeating 👍🏼

This time last year - January 10, 2024, the SEC approved 11 US Bitcoin ETFs. The day before, the @SECGov ‘s Twitter account was hacked.

I’ve watched a lot of businesses struggle to get ahead, only to have their future dictated by banks, governmental regulation and bureaucratic handcuffs. Bitcoin isn't just a lifeline; it's a choice. A choice to be free.

Why cash and bitcoin are important for exchanging value. A £100 transaction in cash will still be worth £100 after 20 commercial exchanges. The same £100 after 20 debit/credit card transactions will be worth £55. A loss of 45%. Bitcoin will appreciate in value over the long term. Cash will be eroded over time.

#Bitcoin isn't just about money or store of value. It's about #sovereignty. When you hold your own keys, you're not just a user, you're a participant in the financial revolution. Stop waiting for permission. Take control.

It does sound more and more like the start of "The Big Short 2". I'm torn between: "F*ck the Banks" & "F*uck Regulations" In a truly free market: Let them do what they want and let them fail. In a state insured market: Regulate them harder.
