#Bitcoin is volatile, but it no longer returns to certain price levels because adoption is progressing … and it is growing faster than the internet or the rise of mobile phones.

Today, Bitcoin is distributed in such a way that 70% is owned by individuals, who make up around ...

@BitcoinNewsCom Yeah, financial repression ... playbook all governments and central banks are doing with increased intensity over time.

Trolling Ruska je skvělej, ale problém, kterej mě pořád vytáčí, trvá dál. Zabranej pozemek je furt mementem okupace a to si přece nemůžeme nechat líbit.

Musí existovat cesta, jak ho dostat zpátky do českých rukou.

Pane starosto @jancizinsky, vy jste se v tom před 5 lety (nebo kdy) angažoval, tak řekněte: Co s tim budeme dělat a jak Vám můžou občané Prahy 7 pomoct? Díky!

Normie logic: Bitcoin has no practical use.
Really?

Bitcoin settles billions in transactions daily—globally—without a bank, a wire fee, a three-day ACH hold, or a compliance officer.

You can send $50,000 in Bitcoin to someone in Lagos or Lisbon at 2 a.m. on a Sunday in under ten minutes for less than a dollar. Try that with your gold bar or silver coins.

Bitcoin is the first asset in history that cannot be inflated, seized, or frozen.

To me, this is obviously a practical use case.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.

I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.

Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions

These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.

Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.

Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.

Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.

There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.

So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.

Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.

The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@felixprehn That's why Bitcoin is so important.

First observation: there will be no deal. The ceasefire will end & the war will re-commence.

Second observation: the US has been flooding the Theater with reinforcements, resupplies & performing maintenance on air assets non-stop, & re-arming warships. The force is ready & its larger than its ever been.

Third observation: every key player left in the regime surfaced from their hide holes & safe houses during this ceasefire. The regime ‘negotiation’ team sent to stall America. The IRGC thugs who showed up in Islamabad to stop the Iranian Regime delegation from making any deals. The midlevel staffers going between the IRGC thug leadership & the IRGC cannon fodder still shooting at ships.

All of them broke cover & came back up on the grid. From that point on, they were visible to the human intelligence networks watching them, the persistent ISR assets watching 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without pause— spy satellites, stealth & non stealth drones, manned reconnaissance aircraft. From the moment this ceasefire started, everyone who is a key player in Iran’s continued resistance came back on the grid & have been surveilled ever since.

The intelligence mosaic is fully fleshed out & these targets are being tracked in real time, and the strike plans created with the help of AI are already set & planned.

When the ceasefire ends, the strikes will be begin with such rapid speed, & precision it will be much more savage & fearsome than the first round.

Fourth observation: Iran received drones, SAM missile systems & radars & intelligence from China during this ceasefire & this is still ongoing. This is what’s driving the remnants of the IRGC to continue the war. They do not fully comprehend what is set to take place, or how completely unable to counter it or survive it they are. That’s partly due to history, partly due to institutional arrogance of IRGC, & partly & most importantly because China & Russia simply do not understand our full capabilities— in terms of intelligence collection, planning, speed we can act on those things, & how good our situational awareness of the battlefield is.

That last one is the key: the disconnect— how clear & complete our granular picture all the way up to the grand strategic picture is, compared to how blinded & how fragmented the situational awareness of the Iranians is.

That last part is what really, really scares Russia & China— the vast gap in cognitive capabilities & situational awareness capabilites between the US & them scares them because its a gap they cant bridge, & beyond that the speed we can act on that clear picture is something they cant match.

This war is going to restart after the ceasefire ends, & all hell is going to break loose— & the ferocity of what comes next is going to genuinely surprise the IRGC fanatics driving events in this direction.

So, @AnaKasparian (Left-wing) and @NickJFuentes (Far-right) market themselves as opposites but then you see them side by side, saying THE EXACT SAME THING... You cannot unwatch this. 👀

@MDBitcoin @BTCYN now think about everything else he speaks on so confidently and realize he knows just as much about those topics as he does about bitcoin

[Adam Livingston @AdamBLiv]

@GrahamStephan Yeah good call. There is no good reason for the headaches of real estate when you can outperform the S&P 500 with 1/4th the volatility by investing in STRC.

Damn that’s crazy bro. I exited all rental real estate games due to all the same reasons back in 2020 and just bought bitcoin instead. Had zero issues or headaches or tax increases or governmental red tape so far.

Thanks for spreading awareness of the risks of rental real estate in LA country.

[Stepan @StepanStie]

@thealepalombo Well the geopolitical risks are quiet high ...

🚨 FAKE LEDGER APP ON APPLE STORE WIPES OUT ENTIRE BTC HOLDINGS

A fake Ledger Live app on Apple’s Mac App Store just wiped out a user’s life savings.

American musician Garrett Dutton lost 5.92 $BTC ($424K) after downloading what looked like the official app and entering his 24-word seed phrase.

On-chain investigator ZachXBT traced the stolen Bitcoin exchange deposit addresses and publicly questioned how the app made it through Apple’s gatekeeping.

No comment yet from Apple.

Trump says ridiculous things online. No one should be shocked by that anymore. The sun is hot. Water is wet.

What is more interesting is watching people become just like him in response.

Same rage. Same insults. Same loss of self-control. Same foaming at the mouth.

Then if you say, “Maybe don’t let this man live rent-free in your head,” they turn that ugliness on you too. 🤷‍♂️

That’s how deep the obsession goes. You do not have to like the man to see the trap.

If your hatred of him makes you resemble him, you lost.
