Would be hilarious if Trump wins the election because the dems pissed off the Amish by raiding a farm that sells raw milk.

We are witnessing Google’s real-time censorship of the term “mass formation psychosis” as mentioned by @RWMaloneMD on @joerogan podcast. Don’t let them get away with it! Listen to the episode for yourself.

This is why KYC is useless. The criminals have our drivers license scans. They have AI tools that can generate fake images and videos. KYC puts our identities at risk, makes onboarding more difficult, and rewards criminals.

The “never sell” Bitcoin crowd is so cringe. Bitcoin is meant to be used as a currency. Back in mid 2022 I decided to sell some Bitcoin at $23k to put towards a down payment on a house with my then-fiancée, several months before our wedding. I desperately wanted to buy a house

In Ledger’s 2021 funding round, they brag about how much crypto is stored on Ledger devices. Stop to think: how do they know this? The only way to know is to collect extended public keys. So Ledger Live knows your XPUBs and IP address 🤯

Apple should have instead withdrew from the entire UK market, shut down all services, and allowed the population to hound their elected officials until regulators withdraw their insane backdoor request. Huge missed opportunity, huge capitulation.

BREAKING: Apple is pulling its end-to-end encryption feature — Advanced Data Protection — in the UK, in a stunning development after the government ordered the company to build a backdoor to user data. Apple is not complying. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I've been deeply troubled by the widespread support for COVID vaccine mandates. It can be difficult to present a comprehensive argument against mandates – so I decided to write one! We must educate our family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

I’m so sick and tired of these Bitcoin reserve policy proposals. Just eliminate capital gains tax on Bitcoin and get out of our way.

Now we just need to eliminate capital gains tax so buying a burger isn't a taxable event. How the hell do we get mass adoption of BTC as a currency if you have to track your gains when you buy a burger? The IRS considers any unreported Bitcoin payment a tax violation.

Can someone explain to me why all these collateralized Bitcoin lending products are at ~12% rate when I can get a HELOC for ~7%? The loans are overcollateralized. There is no risk to the lender.

Announcing Strike Lending You shouldn’t have to sell the best-performing asset in human history to access cash. Now you don't have to. Access your bitcoin wealth without selling it. Build a better life on top of bitcoin with @Strike. Borrow fiat. HODL #bitcoin.

My unpopular opinion is that there would be enormous onchain activity if capital gains taxes did not apply. No one wants to make a purchase with bitcoin if you have to calculate and file taxes. It’s a nightmare for retail businesses as well. Eliminate cap gains on bitcoin.

Onchain activity is dead. Looks like we'll have to actually work to make desirable use cases people want to use instead of relying on crypto slop to fill up blocks.
