Gm nostriches, been working on researching #bitcoin for a while now, academic research, mainstream media, books, what ever I can find really, so far not much primary data collection but can see that changing moving forward.
Turns out, Bitcoin’s characteristics are similar to those exhibited by Mellivora capensis (aka the honey badger), strong, tough, resilient. You can worry about self custody, you can worry about criminals (I class politicians as criminals, who change laws to legalise their actions, but what can they do to get your seedphrase?), you can worry about volatility in fiat exchange rates.
Honey badger don’t care.
Pretty much nothing is more stable, safe or valuable in the short, medium and long term. Listening to Guy Opperman with
@Peter McCormack makes you realise, every “pension” that is less than 100% bitcoin is a risk.
Saying that, like the idea of a pension “company” simply providing a credit function on top of your stack (better rates than
@strike ?), or balance that against selling/paying off credit when exchange rates are “high” and not selling but taking out credit when exchange rates are lower. FYI, as part of my research, ran the numbers for selling versus taking on debt, and one leaves you with much more bitcoin to pass on. 🫡🙌
Whoa, that got longer than intended, cheers freaks, happy Tuesday. #catstr enjoying her morning
