@Deenobrown123 @realpeteyb123 @TheGreekUSA As I told my mother. The missle would be worth more than all of Kalymnos. If your scared avoid Crete or Cyprus. Zero reason to bomb small islands with no military base.

@realpeteyb123 @TheGreekUSA Many of my Greek friends are pausing their Greek vacations this year. One friend is even close to moving a planned wedding in Greece back to America. Hopefully this war ends soon.

Most people I talk to off the app are really tired and bothered by this war. Many are starting to get panicked, others refuse to make summer plans in Europe. Many who didn’t before are mocking President Trump. That’s reality.

@realpeteyb123 None of that is true. The DOT bidding process is probably the fairest and most efficient thing the government does. Also that is a ridiculous operation which I would never let my crew participate in. I hope your joking.

In America this costs millions of dollars, cause the government gets paid off, the contractor steals the overpriced bid, then we have 5-6 rejects standing around making sure other rejects don’t fall into an open hole and it takes weeks. We can’t have nice things anymore.

@realpeteyb123 On one hand you talk about how they were selling poisonous baby formula but somehow it matters if we can verify the financial part of the transaction as being the important end. It’s not. The trust is more important on what your buying not what is being used to buy it!

@realpeteyb123 Oh yes the wise sage “Satoshi”. We should all be listening to him or is it her? Every society functions on trust. Gold is hard to verify? Ok so is the meat from the farmer down the street. Is it dog? Old? Poor quality that will make me sick?

A lot of people want gold and metals to be something they are not. This is not 1900. This is 2026. Technology is not slowing down, it is accelerating. Energy is king. The tech era has already arrived. Data centers. Robots. Space exploration. Autonomy Nuclear Mining in space Will we stop it? They can dream. They only win if their dream comes true. Not the world I want. Gold today is slow, expensive to verify, and dependent on institutions, even though it is tangible. Bitcoin can be verified instantly and independently by anyone running software, without trusting intermediaries. Most people still do not understand Bitcoin yet because they confuse something being tangible with something being truly secure. I do not care if you think I am wrong. I have already been right. I am free. I am independent. Bitcoin was already right, I won. You just don’t get it. I have unlocked the power of the mind and I understand the future. I do not rely on the past. My time is mine. Wealth is mine. We are very early. The future is Bitcoin. That is the world I invest in. I do not invest in a world where the future is gold. Gold is the past, and the past is control. Progress cannot exist if that world wins. Satoshi said the root problem with conventional currency is trust. You are forced to trust central banks and intermediaries not to debase it or abuse power. Bitcoin was created to remove that trust by allowing anyone to verify the system themselves. It keeps the scarcity of gold while removing the physical constraints. And remember his words: “If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”

@StoicTA Why would they take something they can’t use? If everyone steals then nothing has value. Maybe in the cities but definitely not happening in small town America. People aren’t stupid and will know they need to trust each other to survive. You know like the first 10,000 years.

Unpopular opinion: Most silver stackers aren't investors. They're doomsday preppers with a buy button and no exit plan. "But when the dollar collapses…” Brother, if the dollar collapses, nobody's trading you groceries for your shiny rectangles. They're taking them.

If you believe the dollar and current global monetary system is going to collapse, Bitcoin makes 0 sense. Nobody wil use it. Youll by necessities from your community and trade will be local. Nobody will want or need some useless computer code. Buy Pokémon cards instead. Better chance to hold value.

Imagine in 2026 & beyond investing in Silver long term other than a trade when you can buy & sell liquid bitcoin in seconds, travel / move it around freely & unnoticed. Multimillionaires don’t stack bars anymore, rare cases they do, it’s GOLD no silver.

@OwenBenjamin @StoicTA Me too. I’ll take the whole 1,000 for 70

@StoicTA Are you seriously selling for 70 oz? I can help you exit your position

I'm sitting on 1,000 ounces of silver bars bought physical, did what everyone says to do "Real assets" "Outside the system" "When everything collapses you'll be glad you have it" tried to sell some last week, trying to sell it today refineries won't touch it dealers lowballing 30% under spot banks look at me like I'm selling contraband turns out "owning" something and being able to "exit" something are two very different skills this is the same trap I see in trading people hold positions they can't exit stocks with no volume options with no buyers sitting on "value" that only exists on paper supply & demand lesson learned

@MrDennisV Can you place bet in dollars and it converts to xch or must you do that math yourself?

@addanalysis Why so long on settlement?

No lie detected

@hoffmang When 2,000 ?

The 24 hour maximum ACH order of XCH is now $200.

@realpeteyb123 Why not? Old tech. No functional utility. Basically nostalgia at this point. Better with Pokémon cards.

Do not sell your Bitcoin, this is a warning. It’s a privilege reading my posts.

@Coachjv_ Xrp is a scam coin with no utility that doesn’t solve a problem.

XRP $2.96 Blessing after blessing! I love it when my real-world utility assets go on sale. This isn’t panic, this is an opportunity. Remember: Your emotions are their profits. Stay calm, stay strategic, and let the impatient fund your future.

@realpeteyb123 Having property taxes decline as people age is a terrible idea for most of the country. It encourages elderly to stay in their 5 bedroom homes and limits housing for families. My current neighborhood has half the 5 bedroom houses occupied by elderly who live there half the year.

People want to get rid of property taxes. And I get it. I really do. But here’s the uncomfortable truth nobody says out loud. Property taxes are the last line of defense. They keep you away from people you don’t want to be around. I’m not trying to sound rude. I’m just being honest. Most will admit it in private. Few have the spine to say it in public. You’ve got open borders. Over 40 million illegal immigrants in this country. You’ve got a population that’s declining in values, not growing in strength. You’ve got a woke mind virus that turned into a wildfire, and Trump came in with fire extinguishers. So why wouldn’t I want to pay property taxes? It’s the last tool to keep goons out. A filter. A barrier. A cost of sanity. If that offends you, you’re probably the one I’m trying to avoid. What we should do is create a system in every state where property taxes drop drastically as you age, so you don’t get kicked out of your own home just because you can’t afford it anymore. Eliminating them entirely doesn’t work unless we deport every illegal immigrant and shut the borders down for the next hundred years.

@chiafarmers @coinbase @chia_project @permutocapital How can I buy 1,000 Xch? Currently farming with a partner who handles all that. I just provide money and cigarettes

Before @coinbase lists @chia_project, @chia_project lists @coinbase. IYKYK 🌱 @permutocapital

The obvious answer is build more Monasteries in Romania! The Holy Mountain should send someone like Geronda Eprhraim to accomplish what he did in the US. As mentioned Romania is a predominantly Orthodox country with beatiful landscapes, language, and history. Seems like a simple supply and demand problem!

@OwenBenjamin Great book about what you’ve discovered through experience. Would send if you wanted to read.

Thoughts on trump, the stock market, and as a man thinketh

@naval @rganguly @elonmusk My company does DOT work all over the county. The vast majority is already done by the states.

@rganguly @elonmusk There’s no law of nature that says states can’t do it.

A government as small as possible, but no smaller.

I share some of your concerns but you have way too much trust in your discernments and ability to predict the future. Saying someone will “pay a spiritual price” in such a matter of fact way is judgment. You have your place to call out what you see but your trying to force other people’s behavior. God is in control. Play your role and let others play theirs.

@elonmusk What would be cool is if you Put a software update override in your car. It’s ridiculous I’m stuck in the middle of the road freezing m.

Cool

@elonmusk Currently stuck in the middle of the road freezing becuase my Tesla decided to software update. You would think it wouldn’t do that on the middle of the road while I’m in the car. No override. Support Told me call a tow truck.

Yup
