Less than a million left

@Andrew_J_Howard You literally feel inflation

I find it interesting that most people you speak with today seem to be completely exhausted. There is a general "tiredness" people have today. Rare to find someone who actually feels life coursing through their veins.

They’re going to lock them down again aren’t they?

@samcallah Sounds like scarcity might be important. Probly nuthin'

“The ability to print money doesn’t apply here…You can’t print molecules.”

@Rajatsoni As long as your loan is fixed rate, below the Bitcoin CAGR and you know you can (and have the discipline to) service it...great idea.

I started applying a new strategy to accumulate more Bitcoin: Strategically Borrow to Buy Bitcoin You can probably only do this if you have a solid income that's growing over time If you don't have any income, DON'T DO THIS because your loans will compound against you I borrowed to buy at $63,000 In the past, I borrowed to buy at $16,000 (I wasn't buying with the same plan in mind at the time) My income was also much lower at the time (I was driving for Uber), and I paid back the loans with my higher income over the next couple of years My income has grown significantly, and I expect it to continue growing, so by borrowing from the bank, I'm bring my future income to the present and buy Bitcoin with it I do this with low interest debt like a line of credit or a low interest credit card You can also do this with 0% interest cash advance cards (see @sunny051488's content for more details) I know I can increase my income more than 25%/year for the next 5-10 years My bank lends to me at under 10% interest If I can increase my income by 25%+/year and keep my personal expenses low, I can easily pay back any money I borrow to buy Bitcoin The bank charges 10% Bitcoin grows at 30% I pay back the loan with my increased income I borrow using a cash advance to buy dips during times of extreme fear The bank creates the money out of thin air for me I pay back my credit card as quickly as I can with my income Usually, I only borrow an amount that can be paid off within 2 months I do this because I believe at some point there will be a supply shock There will be so many people doing what I'm doing that dollars will be worthless I don't think Bitcoin will go lower from here, but what if it does? By the time it happens, my income would have paid off my credit card, and I have fresh money to buy the lows again What are the flaws in my strategy? 1) I know "Bitcoin can go to zero" but I don't think it will 2) People will tell me I'm gambling for borrowing to buy Bitcoin, but when I tell people I borrowed money to buy a house, they're so proud of me What do you think of this strategy?

We're going higher. WAAAAYYYYYY higher.

Bitcoin will show you what you're made of. If you don't like the answer you were always part of the problem.

@StackingHats More like free risk rate amirite🤣

It doesn't matter if you are a sovereign nation, a multi national business, a listed business, a pension fund, a hedge fund, a stable coin or just any random individual. If you're holding UST Bonds, you're the bag holder sucker at the table. The "risk free rate" is anything but

@elonmusk @Puncher522 @RealJamesWoods Hope you're planning to answer these posts 1 at a time, and not just pander to "celebrities" and "influencers'. Being less woke than Google and Facebook is a very low bar.

@RealJamesWoods What were you sent?

I’ve received a threat from X that they will be shutting down my account within 48 hours because of something I posted. Of course, there’s no one I can speak to about this. If I’m closed down, just know it’s been fun.

@Raf_Daddy There's people that still believe the debt can be paid back! I guess they think it's the tooth fairy that will pick up the tab.

@StackingHats That was like, 4 hours ago 😂

Why does it feel like this crossed $38 trillion 2 seconds ago?

@Ric_RTP Bitcoin wins again.

A guy who's built companies for 25 years just went on Diary of a CEO and said plumbers will earn more than lawyers within the next 2 years. Sounds insane. But the numbers actually back it up: Last week alone, $280 BILLION was wiped off the value of legal and data companies. Thomson Reuters crashed. LegalZoom got hammered. The entire knowledge economy felt the shockwave in real time. Why? Because AI just proved it can do what a $500/hour lawyer does for $20 a month. Daniel Priestley went on the show and explained how he recently had a legal case that was quoted at $60,000 by a law firm. Instead of paying, his team used Claude. The AI gave them a full coaching session on how to handle the case, mapped out multiple decision tree pathways, generated every document they needed, and even built a spreadsheet breaking down exactly what to say and what not to say in the negotiation. Total cost: $20 a month. They resolved the case without a lawyer. Now multiply that by every business in the world that's paying legal fees they no longer need to pay. The entire financial model of knowledge work is collapsing in real time. Meanwhile, ask yourself this: Can AI fix your toilet? Can it rewire your house? Lay your foundation? Replace your roof? It can't. And it won't be able to for decades. Here's where the supply and demand crisis gets ugly... Governments spent 20 years pushing every young person into university. Get a degree or you'll never get a job. So an entire generation that should've become plumbers, electricians, and builders went and got master's degrees in subjects nobody was hiring for. They came out with $60-80K in debt and ZERO marketable skills. That created a massive shortage of tradespeople. And now AI is about to flood the market with unemployed knowledge workers while the demand for people who work with their hands explodes. The math is simple: Too many lawyers, not enough plumbers. AI makes the lawyer surplus worse every single month. Priestley called this the most important economic shift of our LIFETIME. For 30 years, blue collar work has been devalued. Everyone wanted to sit behind a screen. White collar was the "smart" path. That era just ended. The pendulum is swinging back hard. And the people who positioned themselves in physical, hands-on work that AI cannot touch are about to be the highest earners in the economy. For anyone building a business right now, the lesson is clear: Stop chasing what's "prestigious." Chase what's SCARCE. AI can write your contracts, build your website, run your ads, and draft your emails. But it cannot show up to your client's office, shake their hand, and solve a physical problem. The winners of the next decade won't be the most technically skilled. They'll be the ones who bet on what machines can't do.

Will it? WILL IT?

@haggishodl You've levelled up. Congratulations.

Can someone tell me what I’m actually paying for? My latest council tax bill has arrived. £330 a month. For what? We still have to pay extra just to have the garden waste collected. The roads are knackered, the drains are blocked, and every time it rains the streets flood. The local town is now devoid of shops because business rates and parking charges have made it almost impossible to trade and expensive for people to visit. So where is the money going? Councils spend tax revenue on vanity projects like cycle lanes that might see a bike once a decade and disability parking bays that sit empty most of the time. Meanwhile the services we actually rely on continue to decline. We are expected to pay more and more for less and less. And at the same time we all see public money being spent on people who entered this country illegally and have never contributed. So I’ll ask again. What exactly are we paying for? The whole system is broken.

@Danny_Tannerz Inevitableth

The big print cometh…

@dvharry2020 Heads we win. Tails they lose.

You've got to hodl through the bear to deserve the bull. The patient always win.

And just to front run the "check your financial privilege crowd"...have you ever met a guy selling bracelets for Zimbabwean Dollars? That guy is better equipped to deal with volatility in Bitcoin than you or I could ever hope to be.
