If I can get a tax benefit for paying someone to buy Bitcoin for me and hold it as my retirement savings; then surely I should get a tax benefit for buying Bitcoin myself and holding it as retirement savings. Someone should take this argument to the supreme court.

I often get the "unable to connect" icon. What's up with that?

On nostr: I like that there is no algorithm feeding you stuff and there is no central control trying to manipulate what media you consume. I do find it hard to reach the really good content though. Is there like a way to view the most zapped posts of all time?

GM Nostr

Retirement advisors used to recommend a 60/40 (stocks/bonds) portfolio to balance growth with security. Now they recommend a 90/10 portfolio because that's what's need to keep up with inflation. I wonder what kind of security that 10% allocated to bonds is providing? Precious little I'd say. So why even have it? Because it's too taboo to tell you the bonds aren't with holding. The rise of Bitcoin is a flight to security. But the more I learn about it, the more I become convinced it can be a foundation for a better future.

It seems the Trump organization has adopted Bitcoin. Will this be the last pump cycle? Full on monetary arms race, no dip till the end of fiat?

I love the stability and prosperity that BTC offers the world. I do think if it continues on its current trend (which I fully expect) USD hyper inflation is inevitable. I worry about the instability and resulting suffering that will take place during this period. What do you think will happen?

Why isn't the default feed showing the posts with the most zaps? Isn't that the whole concept? So that it would be prohibitively expensive for spammers to reach the masses and for users to get easy access to content that a lot of others have found valuable.

I think the peer to peer network communication model with zaps is a great way to take 3rd party influence out of social media. I'm still not clear if nostr will be a safe place for children.
