I think the odds are quite high that DOGE is going to *cost* US Taxpayers money. When the admin has to face hundreds of lawsuits that it has to defend, that costs us money. When the admin loses some of those employment law cases (& those aren’t the only lawsuits they are facing), it will end up paying back pay for a bunch of people who didn’t do any work, costing us money & some of those people are going to be employed already but still receive the pay anyways. If the attorneys filing these lawsuits seek attorney’s fees and get awarded them, that’s even more money. All of the money needed for all of this will of course be printed out of thin air.

I picked up the tab at trivia using my CC yesterday so people would pay me via Venmo so I could effectively get a bridge loan to buy sats before my next paycheck. 😂

STRK may be the greatest vehicle I’ve ever seen for normies to easily manage the transition from our fiat system to a world on a bitcoin standard, *especially* if they are retired. Hell it could help me. Imagine someone handed me $1.5M today and that was all the assets I had. I could buy STRK for $85.25 netting me 17,595 shares. But let’s call it 17,590 as you want to buy it in buckets of 10 because of the convert. That means I’m generating $140,720 pre-tax & $126,623 post tax. You could retire on that if you wanted. And if you’re smart, you’re spending less than you make and putting the excess into BTC or more STRK or something. As you head into the future though, we get closer and closer to being on a bitcoin standard. By that point it should be easy to convert. If you converted it all, it would be 1,759 shares of MSTR common stock. The *current* amount of Bitcoin that represents is 2.87482. It will obviously be more than that when you convert. What other vehicle exists like this? It’s insane.

Did all of you who voted for Trump to stop foreign wars have leveling Gaza and seizing it as American territory on your bingo card? If not, you got conned.

Instead of pumping our bags, Trump nuked them.

This is insane, corrupt, and illegal. It’s a privacy nightmare. Basically, Musk now knows *your* social security number. He’s going to know whether you received a tax refund or any other payment from the government, the amount, and where it was sent. This should anger every single one of you.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor ...

I will be honest, in many ways, I agree with the liberals on Bluesky. But also, this is hilarious:

@ODELL was right. Musk just wants your information. Now he’ll take it directly from the federal government. Just wait until he does this shit at the IRS.

This dip is brought to you by Trump Tariffs. Trump Tariffs: when you really want the market to shit the bed on a Friday afternoon.

Why @jack?

I shall forever be referring to the Digital Asset Stockpile as the Shitcoinpile.

What’s the point of owning *literal* fuck you money if after owning it you’re still unwilling to say fuck you? View quoted note →

It’s hilarious how bad the South got at college football 🏈 after they had to start paying players for their labor. More proof that the South has real trouble keeping up with the North the minute they can’t exploit people with their long and storied history of legally enforced free labor. (There’s a word for legally enforced free labor but I’m blanketing in it. Maybe you can remember.)

I was enjoying a snowy night out in Alexandria, VA a few hours ago.

Thank you all for celebrating me today! Merry Christmas! It’s a helluva a birthday party.

The big trick is learning enough about Bitcoin that your brain is rewired in such a way that BTC is your new default long term unit of account. If you can do that, everything will follow including better financial habits, better financial decisions, and, yes, even very sizable real USD returns.

You wake up a year from now. Bitcoin is $1,000,000. What events over this year led to the price?
