Was listening to a Scotia-wealth advisor today. He manages the money of a close friend of a mind. My friend told him she wanted to allocated 5% of her portfolio in Bitcoin. He then went on a rant saying how Bitcoin was for gamblers and low net-worth individuals looking to bet. Told her to go to a casino instead. You couldn’t even reason with the guy because he kept assuming bitcoin was an NFT. The conversation ended with him telling her that if she wanted to buy bitcoin, she should do it by herself because he wasn’t going to touch it. You really reach a point where you don’t even want to talk to people like him. Truly shows how little their understanding of the world is. There’s no point in focusing so much on bitcoin education, when most wealth managers can’t even grasp the concept of money. Btw my friend is in her early 40s, so she’s not some old hag looking to buy T-bills.

@Lina Seiche todavia vives en El Salvador? I was there recently and I noticed the bitcoin adoption was pretty much inexistent. And by that I mean people actually using bitcoin. I even hired a lawyer during my visit there, and while she listed bitcoin as payment method, she told me she would much rather receive USD as payment. Wanted to know your thoughts on this matter? Que opinas Lina? Estuve en San Salvador btw

I should probably clarify that when I say sober I mean from cannabis, Never in my 26-years of living have I ever consumed a hard drug. To be completely honest, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I’m not fond of alcohol either. My brain was never interested in the funny juice. But oh lady cannabis, how I enjoyed my time with her. So long now. I wasted enough time chilling and eating snacks.

20 days sober and counting 🤟

For the last 6 months, I’ve been grieving the loss of my partner. The person who I thought would be the mother of my children. It’s been tough man. Sometimes the only thing that makes me excited now days is working on bitcoin. I’ve been designing the back end of a wallet that acts as a savings AND spending account. In theory, the saving sats are done automatically on a weekly basis, and the spending sats are calculated by the unrealized G/L per transaction. So yes, in some weeks, the wallet won’t have spending sats if the saving sats don’t accrue any in fiat value.

Bitcoin maxis (majority) are idiotic. They don’t run a node, over half don’t even know what a mining template is. For example, my entire net-worth is in BTC, yet I still worry about all the things that can and *will* go wrong at the protocol level. Why did we make non-technical maxis the face of the movement?

I don’t know how to let you go

I feel your touch even though it’s gone. I feel my heart broken even though you took it. May we meet again my sweet girl.

12 days sober and counting
