Bitcoin is part of a larger investment strategy aimed at providing us solutions for the challenges our members face and that help fuel our staffing crisis: making housing more affordable, addressing rising retiree healthcare costs, and providing relief from the longer and longer daily commute. By diversifying our investment portfolio with Bitcoin, the PSOA aims to generate steady growth and ensure the long-term stability of our union's resources.
We’re celebrating and getting all our local @bayareabtc meetup groups together 👇
Going to be epic!!!

LYN ALDEN: Imagine making an iPhone, and then twenty thousand imitators make a buggy knock-off fake iPhone with a glued-on Apple symbol that doesn't work properly. That's "#Bitcoin vs crypto" 👏
What should I invest in? Bitcoin or AI?
TLDR: Bitcoin.
Some insights from the All In Conference.
1. there is exactly one company making money in AI, NVDA. The other ones Google, MSFT, Apple, Tesla are spending tons of money on AI.
Peter Thiel says this gives him 1999 bubble vibes.
Chamath is cautious.
So while AI will absolutely change the world in the next decade, the investment plays are, to quote Thiel "not obvious".
2. Meanwhile the US Government is, to quote Elon, headed to bankruptcy very quickly.
It's the Titanic, and people are "trying to steal the silverware before it sinks" (Friedburg)
Neither Trump nor Kamala is likely to change this.
Bitcoin isn't making headlines in tech circles. Neither is gold. But both are up big over the last two years.
MSTR is the number one stock since Aug 2020, with an 800% return.
Bitcoin is the only protection against the US fiscal situation. It's also protection against the European and Chinese fiscal situation.
There are 21 million lifeboats. Grab a few.
Gold was demonetized because it required trust.
#Bitcoin is more scarce, portable, divisible, verifiable & sealable but most importantly:
#Bitcoin achieves unmatched monetary properties without relying on trust.

I took My kids to school after getting up at 5am to pre cook their dinner and also make breakfast...
90 min in traffic...
got to work, stood on my feet entertaining clients, and discussing all their woes and aspirations, did some color and highlights and cuts etc etc. Never sat down except to pee. Twice.
Skipped lunch to take an extra cut. Paid 25 bucks for the kids to Uber
A. One to Home
B. One to his Football game
Stayed late and took an extra color.
Ran to kids football game. Made it just after it began 😁
Sat in humid, sticky, sweaty, gross hot weather, and watched the game.
Came home, washed his gear, (so ew) took a shower, packed luggage,
Set alarm for 4 hours to get up for last-minute flight to take 1 boy to see his grandpa pops (not a happy sort of trip 😞)
Have finally eaten some stupid yogurt and left over bacon 🤣
I'm going on about a 20 hour non stop day, and it's kinda normal and what single working moms do.
I suppose what makes me a little different is that I sacrificed a bit extra with glee today so that before I rest, I was able to just buy some more #bitcoin at 53K
A couple extra hours or work, when it presents itself, will be many extra hours of time saved in a few years!
Stack those sats folks.
This is my tiny moment of glory in adding to making the world a better place, and a better life for my kids. Small but mighty, these sats will forever be my legacy for them. 💪🧡
