On my way to Vegas with a pocket full of paper Bitcoin, notes with Cashu redeemable for 21 sats. I just gave one to a normie at the terminal. 😂

Does this card make sense?

I don't like stablecoins, mostly because I don't like the US National Debt or fiat, but I like a lot of stuff Tether does with HolePunch.

The first time I read the white paper, the phrase "peer-to-peer electronic cash system" resonated with me because I recognized it was an alternative to "The System." I already hated the fiat, fractional reserve banking system and knew I had no chance of making a decent living in this system that made my passion for playing online poker illegal and expected me to earn 0.01% in my savings account. I didn't make much at my job so I stacked sats by grinding out minimum wage at live limit hold em tables. It wasn't a glamourous life, but I kept my whole bankroll in bitcoin, buying fiat to play poker and cashing out back into p2p electronic cash when I won, which was only about 52% of the time. I didn't even know some people thought about Bitcoin as an investment until I took a job at a warehouse and heard Wences Casares say a whole coin would be worth $1,000,000 or $0.00 in ten years. It's not a million or zero, but nobody's explained exactly what's so great about saving fiat while working a job you hate. That system still sucks. View quoted note →
