One thing I never see from the youtube "prepper" community is an emphasis on having your own tools. Being able to build and fix things yourself is one of the most important life skills to have. Basic power, woodworking, plumbing and electrical tools along with books and general knowledge on those subjects will pay unbelievable dividends. After growing up on a working farm that made barely enough money to get by most years, it's hard to emphasize how important basic DIY/fix-it skills are.

All the gold and silver bugs should be wary of dancing on bitcoins grave, celebrating too early has been known to lead to disappointment.

Merry Christmas!

This is a joke of a bill. Hopefully entities like BPI will come out and strongly oppose it. No capital gains tax on the best money. Period.

US Lawmakers Propose PARITY Act to Overhaul Crypto Tax Regulations

US lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan crypto tax bill that that would close wash sale loophole in the industry.

I actually really like the Claude by Anthropic TV commercial.

All this quantum nonsense has picked up since big players have started to accumulate BTC in size. CRQC are a decade or more away, if it ever happens at all. This narrative is being used to scare the plebs out of holding BTC. People like Luke Grommen, who many "bitcoiners" trust, are spreading this fear for literally no reason.

The reflexive reaction of older conservative influencers to call anyone who has questions about the Israeli gvt an antisemite is quite something to behold. Boomers are such good little robots for the state.

The bottom is most definitely not in lol. Stack time.

Anyone bought any airtube headphones? Any brand suggestions? #asknostr

Futures trading of stocks and commodities halted due to CME data center cooling issue. Bitcoin still pumping out blocks.

Anyone had any luck with any of the btc miner space heaters? I have a room in a barn that needs a space heater and I'd rather be generating some hash than just sucking up electricity with no sats. Would be willing to build a space heater out of a miner if there's good instructions somewhere but would rather just buy something. #asknostr #mining #homeheating #heatpunk

Everybody wants a reason, but sometimes it just is. Accept it and move on.

A lot of so-called "bitcoiners" haven't been very humble this year and it shows. Humble yo self, before you wreck yo self. No loans No leverage No debt boomer bucks -> sats

It feels like a whole lotta people are cheering on a bear market...fuck the bears, up we go.

Humbly all in.

End of day chaser. Cheers.

Not gonna lie. AI soul version of "Higher" kinda slaps. Higher we go ladies and gents. @Ben Justman🍷 @walker

I should be able to provide blood tests and proof of workouts (PoW) voluntarily to my health insurance provider to lower my rate to minimal/$0.

Something does feel off about the rise of Erika Kirk. Her speech at the memorial for her husband the late Charlie Kirk felt weird. Not sure exactly what it is but my spidey senses are tingling.

This sideways price chop has got everyone a little on edge...
