Hey @preston Listening to your latest podcast on quantum. For more technical background, you may be interested in this podcast:

John Martinis (Nobel prize winner) knows quite a bit about it and breaks it down more technically here. Hope you enjoy it!

@preston Do you mine with OCEAN?

@ODELL Do you have bitcoin in a self custodial IRA? I’ve heard of people using unchained, but haven’t used them myself. I know you have a good BS meter, so wondering what you’ve heard could be good for this scenario.

@preston, @Jeff Booth, & @less - What recommendations do you have for self custody bitcoin IRA solutions? I’ve heard of Unchained but wondering if there any other reputable providers.

@preston I thought you’d chuckle…

What are the top companies for buying bitcoin with your IRA? I know of Unchained, but I’m not a fan of their fee structure - it seems rather high for just buying and holding.

Listening to @preston and Stig on the latest TIP podcast (which was great by the way) as I took this exit. It’s not Preston’s way or the highway; Preston’s way is the highway. 😂

Looking for some understanding here. I’ve seen the post circulating today where Microstrategy is aiming at selling up to $750M of Class A stock. New share issuance dilutes existing shareholders. However, I understand the bitcoin community seems to view this dilution as acceptable if all of the funds from the issuance go to purchasing more bitcoin (since they are counting on the long term asset appreciation to more than compensate for the dilution). Additionally, the hope is also that the stock price follows the asset appreciation of bitcoin, too. I have a few questions though. - What happens to the BTC if $MSTR goes bankrupt? - How is this much different from an individual creating an altcoin, taking in fiat from the issuance of the coin, and turning around and using that fiat to buy BTC for themselves? @preston any thoughts?

@less I sent you a DM - would love to hear back from you.

Watching the Silicon Valley Bank story unfold. Wowzers.
