One of the fun punishments for being financially successful in America is that you get to pay taxes 4 times a year instead of just once. ๐Ÿซ

I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that it's a securities violation to make any statements about the future price of one's publicly traded stock. Yet Saylor has a public company that's valued nearly entirely upon the price of BTC and he can make claims that it's going to $1M with no bear market... Quite the loophole, no?

In foresight, it was inevitable. OP_RETURN policy change has been merged because it was the best option among many unpalatable options.

An American politician hosts a Russian politician at his very nice, upscale riverfront home. The Russian is impressed and asks him how he affords this on a legislator's salary. The American points and says "See that $50 million bridge?" The Russian nods. "I got $55 million allocated to it, and through various means, I funneled $5 million of that to my own pocket in the process." The Russian looked very impressed. Later, the American visits the Russian, and was amazed when he saw that the Russian had an entire mansion. He asks him how he afforded it. The Russian points and says, "See that $50 million bridge?" "No," says the American. "Exactly," says the Russian.

The more heavily you invest in private equity, the more difficult it becomes to calculate your net worth. Private equity should be called quantum equity.

Behind the scenes story from Bitcoin 2025: When I went on the main stage for my fireside quantum chat, the producers said I couldn't take my own water. I had to use the Bitfarms branded water provided on stage. I got on stage, sat down, and it was an aluminum bottle with a large mouth twist top. I grabbed, twisted, and it sliced open my thumb which started bleeding. I proceeded to spend the next 20 minutes clenching my thumb so that I didn't bleed everywhere. Still managed to hold a decent conversation!

Had some haters fork my Bitcoin resources site in order to remove all the "impure" links from it. Little do they know how much maintenance is required to constantly fight against linkrot. ๐Ÿ˜‚
