@Simon Dixon summary of the fiat system 🙏

i missed this place!! good night everyone

People are out here celebrating "tax-free Bitcoin" in accounts like UK ISA or US IRA and pensions they never owned it in the first place!!!! You bought an ETN. A fancy IOU. A debt note issued by some bank that "promises" to track Bitcoin's price. The actual sats? Held by a third-party custodian in some cold wallet you will never control. No seed phrase. No private keys. No sovereignty. Let's be brutally honest about what "ownership" actually means: Bank account? Not yours. It's an unsecured liability of the bank. They lend it out 10x. Bail-in rules exist for a reason. Cyprus 2013, anyone? Broker account / pension? The shares aren't in YOUR name. Platform goes bust or gets hacked or "regulatory action" hits? Good luck in the queue with the other creditors. ISA or IRA "Bitcoin"? Same game, different wrapper. You own a claim on a claim on some custodian's claim. Three layers of "trust me bro." Bitcoin was invented to END this circus. "Not your keys, not your coins" represents the entire point Satoshi didn't write the whitepaper so you could outsource your monetary freedom to the same system that prints money, freezes accounts, and confiscates wealth whenever it feels like it. He gave us a tool for absolute property rights in the digital age, something no government, no bank, no "innovative finance product" can ever replicate. Every time you put sats into an ISA, a broker, a "regulated platform", or any custodial solution, you are voluntarily handing back the keys to the very system Bitcoin was designed to replace. You're paying a premium (in the form of counterparty risk) for the privilege of pretending you're "being responsible with taxes." Taxes on what? On something the state can't even seize if you do it right. Yes, capital gains outside the ISA suck in the UK for example, but sovereignty has a price. The people cheering "BTC in my ISA" are the same ones who still think their bank balance is "their money." They've completely lost the plot on what ownership even means in a world of infinite fiat debasement and digital surveillance. Bitcoin isn't a "risk asset" for your diversified portfolio. It's the exit It's the "opt-out" It's the hardest money ever invented, precisely because nobody else can touch it when you hold it properly. Stack self-custodied sats. Learn multisig. Run your own node. Hold your own keys. Everything else is just like fiat with extra steps. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins #SovereignMoney

happy saint valentine 💘 to all . remember to give love and flowers 🌷 to your love ones any time you want not just today

interesting! is there anyone who follows giovanni santostasi on youtube or X ?

Every currency unit printed by banks is a silent #tax on your future: #inflation Are you invested in the S&P500? 🤣🤣 In your #pension perhaps? 🤔 Well... #companies issuing new #shares play the same game diluting your #ownership Moreover... you don't even possess the shares certificate of ownership. I have to accept that this concept is simply too difficult for 99% of people to understand. #Inflation #ShareDilution #CorporateGreed #Investing

all my pension is in bitcoin. of course is not like my self custody one but better than keep it invested in the SnP.

#bitcoin ... fix the money fix the world

#Inflation doesn’t #tax our #money, it taxes our #time More years working More risk taken More debt required #bitcoin fix this They can’t print more time, same as they cannot print more #bitcoin

if you sell for #bitcoin any time is the best time 🕰️

#governments can change #tax rules at their pleasure, and so #mobility becomes a form of #risk #management #Netherland new tax reality known as Wet werkelijk rendement Box 3 investors will owe tax every year based on changes in asset value, even if they haven’t sold anything. Asset mobility become a strategic necessity This is where #Bitcoin stands apart. Bitcoin is: • Borderless • Highly portable • Permissionless • Not tied to any single state When #political or #fiscal conditions turn unfavorable, you can simply move to a jurisdiction that aligns better with your plans Better to move a lot earlier than a day too late ⏰ my plan is set ... you should have yours set too and FAST !!

#bitcoin is the exit from the evil #WEF

Sovereignty Matters !! The #UK government has introduced new identity verification requirements for business owners. The government, no matter the party, is positioning the nation as a beta test ground for authoritarian control. Business owners with significant control are now mandated to submit to #digitalID verification, or face hefty fines and outright exclusion from directorships or ownership roles. This leaves individuals at the mercy of rulers who can strip away assets for non-compliance. This highlight the vital importance of #selfsovereignty, especially in your financial life. When traditional assets like IOUs or even outright owned properties are vulnerable to seizure true independence becomes a necessity. The law in UK' is in place since 2004 (2004 Civil Contingencies Act) and allows asset confiscation in "emergencies" .... we saw what they are capable of during covid right? 👇👇👇👇👇 with #Bitcoin in #selfcustody you have #selfsovereignty. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ No one can strip you of your assets if you hold the keys. Disagree with the current regime? Simply pack your backpack, leave the country, and take your wealth with you intact. In a world of #centralised control, embracing decentralized assets is essential for protecting your #freedom #SelfSovereignty #Bitcoin #FinancialFreedom #UKPolitics

VENICE AI Vs PROTON LUMO what do you think about this? Similarities: • Both emphasize privacy first and claim no conversation logging on servers.  Key differences: • Venice AI stores chats locally only (in the browser/device). That means losing browser data = losing history.  • Lumo encrypts saved chats server‑side (zero‑access to Proton), so you can access them across devices if synced.  • Venice’s design routes to decentralized GPU nodes, whereas Lumo runs inference centrally (but with encryption safeguards). #AskNostr
