@YourFriendAndy Here's one that will melt your noodle: Gemini credit card pays rewards in bitcoin.

Agree or disagree???

@Glennw222 @YourFriendAndy And are they charging extra to compensate for credit card fees? If you pay in cash do they give a better price? Also, I'll bet they do all their purchasing with a corporate credit card to get that ~2% cash back.

@YourFriendAndy Disagree...businesses looking to dodge taxes we pay by being able to falsify income thru all cash no paper trail transactions ...

@YourFriendAndy Is there any benefit to having one 4.8 machine vs: 4 x 1.2 machines?

@ScottKoepp3 4.8TH I chose that since it was a NerdQaxe++ (4.8TH) that hit a couple of the most recent solo blocks

The chances of winning the Powerball lottery are 1 in 292M The chances of winning a Bitcoin block (3.125 BTC) with a typical solo miner are 1 in 1.3M per day So not only are your chances WAY higher, but they repeat 24/7 A lottery ticket is one and done I happily solo mine

@YourFriendAndy @SoloSatoshi @GekkoScienceLLC Do you have a code for the Gamma rather than the Touch?

@ScottKoepp3 @SoloSatoshi @GekkoScienceLLC BitAxe Touch (on the left): a.ndy.fyi/BitaxeTouch-So… Discount code: YOURFRIENDANDY $325 (before discount). Costs $1-2 a month to operate GekkoScience Terminus A2X (on the right): a.ndy.fyi/TerminusA2Z Discount code: ANDY $399 (before discount). Costs $4-5/month to operate

Every day I have Bitcoin lottery tickets. I run a number of solo BTC miners. If I get lucky and one hits a block, I earn 3.125 BTC (worth $255k today) instantly to my wallet. Unlike actual lottery tickets, my odds are much higher, and these aren’t single use. They run 24/7

@TRFletcher @Liathetrader $LITE has been my goto for premium. I'm taking a pause until earnings this Tuesday, premarket.

@ScottKoepp3 @Liathetrader That said I’m not selling premium in this market because $AAOI was up 10+% just yesterday. We will see if the breakout above its base holds through earnings, but photonics are ripping into earnings next week. I will definitely trim.

Just took a ride with a friend of mine. He is 62, has a paid-off condo, and $100,000 to invest. That’s all he has. He works a part-time job making at most $2,000 monthly and can’t find a better one. He is short on bills every month. Needs 3,5-4k. He wants to buy a shitty real estate property with his $100k and rent it out. (I don’t even know what you buy in FL for 100k? Garage? ) I suggested passive income from dividend stocks instead. I believe the market provides a better investment with this money. Am I right?

@TRFletcher @Liathetrader Yeah those $AAOI puts look huge. Are they expensive due to an upcoming ER, maybe?

@ScottKoepp3 @Liathetrader Agreed. Some skill involved but the risk is small. Paper trade 2 months, then go. Right now, this week, selling conservative puts in $AAOI is generating 6-8% a week.

@Liathetrader The perception is of being high risk. I don't think they are in reality, but that's why I can't get into a discussions with any of my friends: "too hard, too risky..."

@ScottKoepp3 Too risky he won’t be able to do it

@optionscjp @Liathetrader He needs CSPs, right?!

@Liathetrader What’s $100k gonna get him in dividend stocks.. 2k per year? No way!

🚨NEW: New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced plans to redraw the state's Congressional map in response to the Supreme Court's ruling undermining the Voting Rights Act. RETWEET to thank @GovKathyHochul for standing up for our democracy!

TWEEPS: Florida voters are being cut out completely as DeSantis pushes new maps designed to lock in power without a public vote. CA and VA trusted their voters. Florida won’t. I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #StopIllegalFloridaMaps Please and thank you! 🙏💪

RETWEET if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel against Donald Trump!

@shelbystardust Do you think they exist?

Lots of bad things going on in the world but here’s a Bigfoot painting I made 🥹

@BecauseBitcoin Pannthalassa a factor?

@YourFriendAndy Cool. I might take this on at some point based mostly on your reports.

@ScottKoepp3 The one I use has facilities that can only be used for BTC. They'd have re-work the sites from the ground up to use them for data centers That might not be the case for all hosts though

My Bitcoin miners are still quietly stacking 0.059 BTC per month ($4,600) All I do is pay my hosting bill each month (5 minutes). The rest is fully passive. It's not a second job. It's a Bitcoin savings plan that runs on autopilot.

@BTC_JEDI21 Sure. I'd just buy back with IBIT.

Be honest If you could sell all your Bitcoin today for $1M per coin, but you were never allowed to buy back in, would you?

@mikealfred @chamath Regarding "power and land", is Panthalassa on your radar? It's an ocean powered AI data center. Could this have a chilling effect on terrestrial ones?

@chamath It shifted years ago. Welcome sir!

The game theory in AI has shifted. Having a leading foundational model is important but increasingly it is the zoning approved, powered land that is the gating bottleneck. Add turnkey access to silicon and it’s checkmate. If you have that, you have immense negotiating leverage right now. As data centers get voted down, this leverage will only increase. Elon just proved it with Cursor. Now imagine the deals that OpenAI and Anthropic will have to do in the next few years? The Amazon-Anthropic deal was an appetizer. If you are a sharp on the other side who owns the right assets… 🤤
