Rent vs buying property. In 2020 when I first came to Bansko I paid 200 euro per month. 0.03125 ₿itcoin Now I pay €400 a month. 0.00537 ₿itcoin In fiat terms it doubled, in bitcoin terms it went down 82%! If you bought a 60m2 place it would have cost 60x€600=€36k 5.625 bitcoin To now €1700m2. 60x€1700=€102k (up 183%) 1.37 bitcoin (down 75%). No leverage in the world would make up for this difference. Rent a house, stack sats and chill. Let the market compound for you. No maintenance or other worries.

@IvoTONIUT The only thing the EU is doing is defeating itself 😅

Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas: “If Europe cannot defeat Russia, how can we defeat China?” You can spin it however you want, but the reality is that the European Union is an organization made up of id|ots.

@oro33353195 @mcuban Sell your bitcoin then for more gold.

@Tsartoshi @mcuban Sure I look at the trend, and it is not favorable for bitcoin versus gold.

Uhm who's gonna tell @mcuban? 👀

@oro33353195 @mcuban You time from the local top to local top instead of looking at the trend. Besides that you confused about bitcoin volatility, don't let it cloud the judgement.

@Tsartoshi @mcuban You see a turnaround there??? Iran accepting bitcoin? Iran accepting Yuan yeah that's for sure. And bitcoin as a currency ok, store of value? Gold it is!

@oro33353195 @mcuban Cope. The Iran war is the exact turn around. And Iran accepting bitcoin for their transfer fees and no gold for obvious reasons. Don't miss another cyclical bull run

@Tsartoshi @mcuban A chart starting from genesis does not count at all. The start of Iran war did not change the direction, bitcoin is in a bear market versus gold. I know hard to accept but still better open the eyes.

@oro33353195 @mcuban Since the outbreak of the war bitcoin performs better. Long term gold even performs worse....

@Tsartoshi @mcuban Tell what exactly?

@BitcoinPierre Not if but when

If everyone sells ETH, it will go to zero.

@0_xso_ @danheld @laurashin Credit isn't money now is it?

@danheld @laurashin meanwhile saylor keeps yapping about “digital credit” 🤡

I think Ethereum’s original sin was not considering tokenomics with every move it made from Dencun on. The ultrasound money thesis was a good one and with Dencun (or the L2 roadmap generally) they should have stopped to say that this was going to hurt the ultrasound money thesis and consider how to preserve it. Most people, like David, don’t want to believe in something that isn’t also putting up points on the scoreboard. When the main offering becomes ideology/communism and money/tokenomics/capitalism are overlooked, the peasants are going to revolt — as they’ve been doing for two years now. Look at the public reaction to Tomasz: broad praise, a sense of hope, excitement, the price pumping … only for him to be gone a year later with the new ED being someone who cannot even be found online except for a Wayback Machine url with his name that has some really questionable statements on it (and I should say the EF denied that this website, which was taken down a few weeks after he was appointed to the board, is his). They’re going to be really mad at me for even mentioning that but in the place of a void, these are the kinds of things people will glom onto. Then there was the manifesto — I mean, mandate, which they backtracked on forcing people to sign. (Btw, this is the second bit of news that seems to relate to Bastian. And now the third would be all these departures. There’s nothing else for us to point at and say about him — when I searched for his name on Google News just now only 14 links came up. He seems to be some kind of invisible hand behind the scenes.) I don’t think ideology and capitalism/tokenomics/number go up are mutually exclusive. I think you can have CROPS values and also consider how each step of the roadmap affects the tokenomics and even have teams for BD/ecosystem growth. It feels like the EF doesn’t realize the moment that crypto is in. The competition is only just starting. We are in the phase of real world adoption. The Ethereum Foundation’s CROPS principles are great ones, and they are worth fighting for. But the EF seems to want to sit back on its laurels and act above it all when all its competitors are all getting down and dirty on the field to gain market share. Maybe it is the right approach. I don’t know. I’m just saying that more competitive people won’t align with it. And so they will leave … and community members will as well. I personally don’t think it’s good for Ethereum if its most competitive people depart. Ethereum’s unwillingness to stop the brain drain will only benefit its competitors — or spawn new ones. Giving a shit about price and tokenomics and BD doesn’t hurt CROPS. It just helps ensure that these principles get spread to more people and that other chains that don’t have these principles don’t get a leg up. All the commentary may be pointless. It seems Vitalik tried what everyone wanted and it didn’t align with his vision, so he brought in a new person he felt more comfortable with. It makes me sad to see people become so disaffected with Ethereum, but maybe this is V’s Brian Armstrong/no politics at Coinbase moment where he lays down what the EF will work on and asks everyone else to leave. That was the right move for Coinbase, but I view them as fundamentally different issues. We’ll see whether Ethereum maintains its lead with a foundation that isn’t willing to fight for it.

@Andrew_J_Howard Bro haven't seen the south American way of Scopolamine

You must understand that the American Bitcoiner is in a fundamentally different category. Truly an elite level human. Your $5 wrench attack has no power on us. Bitcoin for monetary defense. Pew pews for life defense. The European mind simply cannot comprehend.

@MarshPlaza @Brutaka5 @Pirat_Nation Steek je kop in het zand

@Tsartoshi @Brutaka5 @Pirat_Nation Says who?

Visa and Mastercard will finally face some competition. Europe is building its own payment system that will launch in late 2026, when about 130 million people in 13 countries will be able to use it. It integrates the Wero app with national services like Bizum in Spain, Bancomat in Italy, MB Way in Portugal, and Vipps and MobilePay in the Nordic countries. The system transfers money instantly from one bank account to another using Europe’s fast payment network, so people can keep using their usual apps while a central link simplifies cross-border payments. It starts with person-to-person payments in late 2026 and adds online and in-store payments in 2027. They want to cut costs and keep money and data inside Europe, and rely less on foreign card companies like Visa and Mastercard. This will not replace Visa or Mastercard completely, as those cards will remain useful for travel and some shops, but it is a good alternative for Europeans to the usual payment processors.

@MarshPlaza @Brutaka5 @Pirat_Nation Europe is exactly going just there...

@Brutaka5 @Pirat_Nation That's your american paranoia talking. You shouldn't project USA policies and they're way of doing onto EU. It's not the EU that asks for tourists outside europe to show their social media history. That's what the USA does to anyone entering your country with a visa nowadays.

@Pirat_Nation Yea no thanks. About ten years too late.
