Snake season in Brisbane is all year round, but they're on the go at the mo, looking for mates. Can't get enough of this shit. https://blossom.primal.net/25029df96b4a9a7c1fd1f6da723b67edc9cae56f3d72c64ddc492aa644d9ce82.mp4

HODLing is like losing weight. Simple, but not easy. Calories in / calories out Buy bitcoin, withdraw into self-custody and hold. I’ve tried every diet under the sun, and now I eat what I want as long as I manage my calories. For Bitcoin, I’ve fortunately learnt from the best that there’s no better strategy than buying and holding. END OF STORY.

Excellent report from Fidelity showing BTC’s correlation with global liquidity. Given what we know about the current state of play, is liquidity likely to go higher or lower in coming 24 months? HIGHER IMO. https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/research-and-insights/bitcoins-potential-leading-macro-asset

Once you get Bitcoin, you revisit everything, and you see scams EVERYWHERE. At the moment, I can't get over what a scam the "renewable energy" sector is. Not just how ineffective, intermittent and unreliable it is, but also how it scars the environment, uses incredible amounts of fossil fuels to construct, has a relatively short lifespan and above all PUMPS UP energy prices. Yet people vote for it and beg their politicians for MORE. And most of all, it makes ZERO DIFFERENCE to the alleged problem of global warming. Talk about scam.

What an amazing assessment. And encouraging. nostr:note10jgvykj5z94z5fsmptdljm2k2j8a0t0zn96v2r9mq7v8fjcxk5dqt2eh6q

Without being too negative, I’m entirely convinced Australia is on the same path as the UK. Saw a chilling video of a mother jailed for offensive speech in the UK, and it got me thinking - you literally can’t speak your mind in Australia unless you’re prepared to die on that hill. Right now, the regime will make an example of you. Freedom of speech is an illusion in our democracy. 🦘🐨🇦🇺

I feel late to the party here, but I’ve become increasingly aware of how the X algorithm is completely manipulated. Have noticed this relatively new Bitcoin account in account that is absolutely everywhere. Obviously this individual has paid to rank higher and has figured out the game to optimise growth. So obvious now! 🙈

I’ve been getting awesome feedback about my Bitcoin Retirement Calculator, but I almost prefer my Bitcoin Dreams Calculator. I’ve been using it to map out all sort of scenarios where I want to preserve a % of my stack, and then spend x dollars a year on epic experiences like visiting India to see tigers, Brazil to see Jaguars and all sorts of rad stuff. Check it out - life is for living! https://whybitcoinshow.com/bitcoindreamcalculator/

🚀 Best Bitcoin Calculators for Bitcoiners🚀 I decided to build some practical tools for my own benefit and have released them into the wild to help Bitcoiners plan their retirement, achieve financial freedom and generally, to live life on their own terms. Visit https://whybitcoinshow.com to explore. Detailed thread below on the calculators 👇 Bitcoin Retirement Calculator 🏖️ Purpose : Helps users determine how much bitcoin is needed to fund their retirement based on desired lifestyle and timeline. How It Works : Users input their target retirement age, expected annual expenses, life expectancy, and bitcoin price projections. The calculator estimates the bitcoin required to cover expenses, factoring in inflation and potential BTC appreciation. Dream Calculator 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 Purpose : Assesses the impact of regularly spending bitcoin on lifestyle improvements like travel, experiences, or family time. How It Works : Users enter the cost of their annual expenses improving their life (e.g a world trip, a family sabbatical etc), the time horizon, and bitcoin price assumptions. Users can also chose to include additional bitcoin purchases and to preserve a percentage of the original stack to assess the impact on their overall holdings. Savings Calculator 💰 Purpose : Calculates how much bitcoin a user can accumulate over a chosen period through regular savings. How It Works : Users input their monthly savings amount, investment duration, and expected bitcoin price growth. The calculator projects total bitcoin accumulated and its future value. DCA Calculator 💸 Purpose : Illustrates the historical impact of dollar-cost averaging (DCA) bitcoin purchases to reduce market timing risks. How It Works : Users enters two dates and calculator amount invested establishes the overall return over the period. Div 296 Unrealised CGT Calculator (for Aussies) 🦘 Purpose : Estimates the impact of Australia’s proposed Division 296 unrealised capital gains tax on superannuation accounts holding bitcoin. How It Works : Users input their superannuation balance, their age, and projected portfolio returns. The calculator models potential tax liabilities under Div 296 rules - assuming a 15% tax on unrealised gains for balances over AUD $3M, as per current proposals - and highlights the opportunity cost of the ongoing taxation. I hope you find these tools valuable, I’d love to hear from you! 🧡

Throwback to a conversation Chris Wessels with a quote that rings so true https://fountain.fm/clip/MXS5in1E7VukyNiDOEfy

When I was first orange-pilled in 2020, there was zero credible evidence that CW was Satoshi. So clear and obvious when I looked into his track record of fabrication. That said, good that this one is finally put to bed. 🙏 nostr:note163dam5h8lyq4q2jlzf6x87hfr8fyyykprvtxyeg03ct2kazs899s0r32vn

I often here the phrase "#Bitcoin fixes this", but it's not often accompanied by logic that I necessarily follow. How does it fix poverty, crime, inequality, corruption, government mismanagement? People say, "fix the #money, fix the world", but I don't necessarily see it. Who's a good person to chat to on my pod @whybitcoinshow who can articulate the case in favour of "#Bitcoin fixes this"? Maybe even a round table debate. Specifically, I'd love to look at it through the lens of South Africa's current economic plight and how Bitcoin could fix it. While I believe strongly in the potential of Bitcoin to change a person/nation state's fortune, I also want my logic and reasoning to be watertight. We need to steelman our arguments, and that's what I'm after.

Alright, here we go! Decentralisation for the win. Feels like Twitter is dying or is it just me?
