Chancellor Moonshot (ask.at.ai.moonshot)

@bitcoinjack Just in time for the new box3 tax regime to rip us off.

The bull run that will follow this tradfi bear market will probably last into March 2029

@vandaaginside De “fatsoenlijk” rechtse stemmer heeft niet zoveel opties. Je wilt niet op de populisten stemmen, stemt op de VVD, en dan wordt je verraden met de box3 belasting. Toch maar een stukje verder opschuiven naar JA21 dan?

Groot deel van VVD-kiezers nu al negatief over kabinet-Jetten vandaaginside.nl/politiek/neder… #vandaaginside

@CurrenticAI @BillyM2k @TheCryptoCPA No it was not worse. They taxed 36% of an assumed ~6% (net ~2%) interest on your financial assets above 57k. It was bad because actual returns might have been lower & inflation was higher. Now they’ll tax you the full 36% on unrealized profits so you can never accumulate wealth.

Living in the Netherlands, let me add some context that’s missing here. The NL has taxed wealth in “Box 3” for over 20 years. The old system was actually worse, it taxed you on fictional returns the government assumed you made, even if you lost money. The Supreme Court ruled this violated human rights in 2021.

Taxes on unrealized gains is punishment for being successful.

@DilanYesilgoz Dat de #VVD de #box3 wet heeft aangenomen is onacceptabel en verraad van de achterban.

@SprinterPress And that’s what friendship is all about.

Trump: I spoke to a very good man, Macron of France. Then I said, “Emmanuel, you have to raise your drug prices.” He said “no, no, no.” I said, you have to. If you don’t do it, I’m going to put a 25 percent tariff on everything France sells into the United States of America.

Heeft iemand Willem II verteld welke kant ze op moeten spelen? Misschien geen rondo doen in je eigen 16-meter? #jpswil

Peter Maes heeft veel voor Willem II gedaan, maar zijn weinige en late wissels vind ik wel jammer. Wordt Doodeman gewisseld terwijl die steeds dreiging geeft, Joosten blijft erin, terwijl er genoeg op de bank zit. #rkcwil

Ondanks de vele geblesseerde spelers had Peter Maes vast toch wel een speler op de bank zitten die nog kon lopen? Bokila was helemaal op. #pecwil

Just watching the chart, enjoying the moment. Quite a milestone from when I started back in 2017. Almost there. #Bitcoin #bitcoin100k

@MarioNawfal ETF approval is an expected event, of course Coinbase has this as a draft.

@cryptomanran A 1000 different coins dropped in the comments. You each get $1.-

Drop ONE token below that you think will be the best performer between now and 31/12/2024. The winner gets $1000!

@lientje1967 @telegraaf Eigenlijk is het vrij simpel. Wanneer het OV goed geregeld is zullen mensen vanzelf vaker gebruik maken van het OV en de auto vaker laten staan.

“Dit is weer een sterk staaltje wensdenken van mensen die zich totaal niet kunnen of willen verplaatsen in gewone mensen met gewone banen. Mensen moeten gewoon auto kunnen rijden zolang er geen goed openbaar vervoer is.” telegraaf.nl/nieuws/5880091… via @telegraaf

@svpino “Sorry you cannot do that work this sprint, you’re already out of story points.”

Scrum is a cancer. I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does. Some anecdotes: 1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game. 2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not remove it. They had us attending the "ceremonies," a fancy name for a buttload of meetings: stand-ups, groomings, planning, retrospectives, and Scrum of Scrums. We spent more time talking than doing. 3. We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention. 4. We spent more time estimating story points than writing software. Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint. 5. I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software. 6. We measured how much it cost to deliver one story point and then wrote contracts where clients paid for a package of "500 story points." 7. Management lost it when they found that 500 story points in one project weren't the same as 500 story points on another project. We had many meetings to fix this. 8. Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously. 9. We paid people who told us whether we were "burning down points" fast enough. Weren't story points about complexity instead of time? Never mind. I believe in Agile, but this ain't agile. We brought professional Scrum trainers. We paid people from our team to get certified. We tried Scrum this way and that other way. We spent years doing it. The result was always the same: It didn't work. Scrum is a cancer that will eat your development team. Scrum is not for developers; it's another tool for managers to feel they are in control. But the best about Scrum are those who look you in the eye and tell you: "If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong. Scrum is anything that works for your team." Sure it is.

@Nieuwsuur Erg onverstandig en onprofessioneel. Met dit soort acties voeden jullie juist de complottheorieën. Sterker nog, die complottheorieën blijken hierdoor niet geheel onjuist te zijn.

In de uitzending van 13 juli toonden we een visualisatie van een selectie van termen in Twitterreacties gericht aan Sigrid Kaag. Deze visualisatie gaf een vertekend beeld van die reacties. Achterafgezien was deze vorm niet de juiste. Onze toelichting: nos.nl/nieuwsuur/arti…

@Nieuwsuur analyseerde 1000 reacties op de afscheidstweet van @SigridKaag. Dat kunnen wij ook, zo'n analyse. Wat blijkt? Uit onze analyse komt een heel ander beeld naar voren dan wat Jeroen @Wol ons wil doen geloven. Een draad -> Maar kijk eerst naar wat Nieuwsuur ervan maakt:

@elonmusk @TitterDaily Guess Zuck’s approach was 43.99B cheaper.

@TitterDaily Competition is fine, cheating is not

NEWS: Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over "systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation" of Twitter's trade secrets and IP, as well as scraping of Twitter's data, in a cease-and-desist letter sent yesterday to Zuckerberg by Elon's lawyer Alex Spiro.

@telegraaf Van voorlichting “geniet, maar drink met mate” naar “wij gaan voor u bepalen wat goed voor u is”. Niet de rol van de overheid in een vrije democratie.

Volledige drooglegging van sportkantines, een ban op de verkoop van wijn of speciaalbiertjes in de supermarkt. Staatssecretaris Van Ooijen mikt op steun om Nederland op een alcoholslot te krijgen. telegraaf.nl/nieuws/3827829…

Surely Blackrock, Fidelity, Citadel, Schwab, etc. are all trying to get a piece of Bitcoin/crypto because they think that it's a ponzi scheme that's worthless because it has no intrinsic value and is only used for money laundering, right?

@binance Voor zover ik weet probeert Binance al jaren te registreren. Ben erg benieuwd waarop dit proces vastloopt. Onwil en frustratie vanuit de regulator? Onvermogen om aan “de eisen” te voldoen vanuit #Binance. Zijn die eisen duidelijk en redelijk? Wel jammer.

We regret to announce that Binance is leaving the Dutch market as we have been unable to register as a VASP with the Dutch regulator. We continue to be committed to working collaboratively with regulators around the world and are additionally focused on getting our business ready to be fully MiCA compliant. Dutch users have received an email on how this impacts them and any steps they will need to take. More information: binance.com/en/support/ann…
