Gm nostriches, quite moments on a Saturday morning, #catstr and #coffeechain in bed, listening to girls at the other end of the house, chatting away, excited about the day and Christmassy stuff, which I think is kinda cool. Time to open the Keynes book, must.finish.this….. image

Ga nostriches, some quiet moments in a December afternoon in work after listening to some very old Eric Weiss “if you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can alway rely on Paul’s vote” socialist policies 101!!!! Now onto some Kingbingo on the lotus eaters, working through how the next gilt crisis, initiated by last week’s budget to tip the uk into the mother of all debt, death spirals. NGL, rather pleased there is no mortgage hanging around my neck putting a target on my back for bond vigilantes. Source: YouTube https://share.google/kyRImRJS2U7vxVgQ1

Hey hey @Bitcoin Trading Cards , while it’s fun to save opening for a fiat price target, it also kind of misses the whole point! Hey, it’s Friday, the sun is shining, I have an asset that a truly own, what else does one need as an excuse to opening a pack of proof of work laden artefacts! 🫡🙌 Only one question, which pack to go for? image

Massive thanks @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 for the Black Friday deal that actually meant something, also payment will @BULLBITCOIN.COM was 😘👌!!! Gold fleck Q, a couple tapsigner for gifts and another plate as my new hammer 🔨 is awesome. Working out how complicated I should make my set up, probably have enough coldcards to be considering a 4 of 7 multisig, if I really wanted to lock my assets up for good!!!! Stay humble and don’t lock yourself out! down for the simple, private, secure approach. Also looking forward to blowing grandad’s (my father but that’s what he goes by now) boomer brain when I sign a transaction and just zap him £50 for beer with qr codes!!! image

Ga freaks, after too many weeks of not heading out, finally took to two wheels for an hour or so and given the shitty weather, went for the eeb #bikestr. Feeling physically and mentally more relaxed, don’t fade a physical hobby and also helped some mental blocks fall into place for when I return to the fiat mine…….. Weather; wet, cold and a bit grim Mood; bright, warm and sunny. Fade those who get in the way of doing what you love. image

Gm nostriches, seeing all those Christmas lights everywhere, wondering how the “Bitcoin uses more energy than Finland” FUD is going. Pretty sure no one is able to settle a billion dollars without third party risk with their Christmas tree light network? But never mind that environmentalist bullshit, although may run some numbers today, I think we have a cool 10x over the lights now that LEDs are widespread. So, how’s about some other measures for comparison; How many friends have you made over a shared interest in Christmas lights? How many Christmas light memes have you been sent, ever? How many fiat mine jobs have been quit due to new opportunities opened up by Christmas lights? Don’t believe the FUD, we got this and the more energy usage the better, you’ve just got to remember @Pierre Rochard, zero carbon dioxide emitted by them miners. The only people who say this don’t really understand energy. 🫡🙌 image

Gm nostriches, happy first of the month freaks, hope the festive cheer is building in your world. #coffeechain continuing to be short and dairy free, morning still very dark and damp and off with my eldest for some teeth based fun……. Looking to see if there was a reason for the mini price drop, and saw this, politician that have split national allegiances really make me think, how can they actually serve one country while ultimately working towards the aims of another. Love it when a serving member gets done for corruption!!!! If you’re so busy with you “parliamentary role” how do you have so much time to fuck about in the dealings of another country. Straight to jail and maybe question the validity of residency status, controversial maybe, but these are grind against nations, both Bangladesh and the UK

Watching the news this morning, and attempting to get my head around parts of the UK budget, the argument pitched of getting children out of poverty with raising the two child cap is difficult to argue against. But, what does it do, it deliberately diverts funds to many that may be productive (when they focus on “benefits”), which number one costs money (not mention the deficit) when spending and the inflationary nature of this, but the signal, to workers who are charged more for this non working benefit. They made the choice between more deficits, inflation, and buying the votes of the class they are deliberately increasing the number of the demographic, against taxing carefully, cutting back and with policies aimed at driving growth. The approach is deeply divisive, short termist and I cannot see a way forward where she doesn’t have to come back next year. Surely giving money back by increasing thresholds as people attempt to earn more would actually give money back to those with bigger families while not penalising those who are living within their means. The problem is making the argument against reducing child poverty (in the short term) is a tough one to make, but long term is will create a population of child and adult poverty, in my opinion yes, but I’m thinking through the numbers as well. GBP and 10 year gilts will go 🚀
