He probably should have just worked a side gig and bought Bitcoin. Mining it seems will always have this free allure.

Go get em Bloomberg, how many tulips for one of them terminals?!

Bitcoin is complex but many things in life are. Most of that complexity is hidden in good products. People are always going to be busy, but to me this is just saying that people don't see learning about money as a priority. It's like learning about air, water or food quality. If it works well enough, why dig in? But in man's foibles we pollute air and water, try to pawn off crap food, and debase currency and in each case some level of digging rises into the public consciousness. At some point people won't be able to deny that the greatest currency in the world, the mighty United States Dollar is not holding value reliably even for those who are paycheck to paycheck and at that point Bitcoin will shine. It shines now, but it'll shine then too.

I like the commitment shown with ink if you drew this from memory that'd make the ear placement and orientation interesting. We don't always see perfect geometry with our mind's eye.

I think this is why the push for passkeys. Consumers can't be trusted in this environment with access to their own passwords. It's enough to make me wanna ditch the phone number and self-host everything.

Trying to become my favorite artist. Always enjoy abstract pieces but still learning the rules so I at least know when I'm breaking them.

The best thing for my music was listening to my recordings a lot then getting instruction about production to improve the songs overall. These gadgets are helpful but the big picture is also worth investing in.

I read it and then searched the act for a while but there were 300+ mentions of broker so at looking at 70 of them I gave up and posted here. The rebuttals here are reassuring.

One bitcoin buys $107,353 right now. That's not too shabby.

I think the problem with this, moral stances on taxation aside, is that kind of arrangement is illegal. That also means risk grows as you get into material amounts of money/work. I'd venture to say that strong motivation either as buyer or seller of said services makes dealing with the taxes and paperwork worth it again if you want to do much volume. For example in order to live well in a western society that's virtually impossible to do under the table. That's why though I appreciate and sympathize with the desire to ramp up the circular Bitcoin economy I think the ultimate is to stack as much as you can and then store them securely against all comers.

Just like with mining I've always said that if your goal is to acquire coins it's best to make money the best way you know how and then buy the coins. People often confuse income and investment to their own detriment. By buying (or selling if you're in that position) you're helping create liquidity which is ultimately the most helpful thing you can do for a new money.

This is excellent. Hope to see more math done on the coinjoins. For example how many bits of anonymity in multi round cj strategies and how that collapses if outputs are linked together.

Focus on kitchen, bathroom, and any private outdoor space. Rooms are rooms but I'm always looking to see if these functional areas are updated.

I don't know how anyone can speak for most bitcoiners. It's not like you can do a survey. Speaking for myself my time preference has been heavily affected by Bitcoin. It's hard to see much that can be obtained directly with coin that is worth the trade. The tools are working. The sheep are well herded. Bitcoin lies in wait.

Feeling good, but I've seen this kind of thing before. Just when I get up to interesting non-bitcoiny stuff in life the price perks up to try to PULL ME BACK IN.

I never understood why witness data got a discount with segwit. Seemed to be an unnecessary change when the 1mb crowd seemed to have won.

Now that fees are so cheap I'm considering blogging straight to the chain.

It's always been a fun idea if you want to see Bitcoin succeed, i.e. you're a holder. I'd love to play a game and get paid at the same time. Winning the game and stacking hard. Maybe it'll work if it's the kind of thing where players help build assets or do marketing!

Hey no take backs!

It's purpose is what it does. It helps serves people who don't understand or prefer premine centralized database currencies. It's basically fiat that masquerades as a cryptocurrency.
