@willchamberlain Imagine thinking this is going well for team red cult

Read through this and realize how minor the demands are It’s just “be a normal country, diplomatically.” And the Iranians were like “How dare you suggest we give up the right to fund terrorists and build nukes.”

@Real_Landlord7 @Walmart But yes, they don't accept bitcoin payments from any wallet. Gotta be OnePay. As for the wallet question, simply forgot it! Just assumed I'd be fine with applepay after realizing it.

@Real_Landlord7 @Walmart They actually do. I just don't have the onepay app. finance.yahoo.com/news/walmart-s…

On vacation and just brutally learned that @Walmart doesn't take ApplePay (or any tap to pay). Left a $150 cart at customer service. Lmao outrageous.

@jonlxz @Nothing87523570 @yo_ean

@Nothing87523570 @yo_ean Why are Americans always in denial? Your propaganda is insane! Want to talk child mortality? Road deaths? Poverty? So many lists where the USA performs badly but muh gdp 😭🤣

So the average guy in Mississippi worked ~35% (405) more hours per year to arrive at a lower gdp/capita than Germany Meanwhile their life expectancy is 10 years(!) less. In effect they work 12 years more only to die 10 years quicker. I find it inappropriate to laugh at that...

@jonlxz @Nothing87523570 @yo_ean @grok how is infant mortality calculated in the US vs Europe?

@RodDMartin @PithyTruth @CrimeForTrump @POTUS @realDonaldTrump x.com/bunkfreamon/st…

@PithyTruth @CrimeForTrump @POTUS @realDonaldTrump And still $1 less than under Biden.

Every day the Strait remains closed. America sells more oil and gas. Funny how no one’s thought of that. Except Trump.

@RodDMartin @JoeWhistleX When Biden left office gas prices in America averaged $3.08. Today they are $4.14.

@JoeWhistleX You're paying a dollar less for gas and $45/bbl less for crude than you were under Biden. So get over yourself.

Taxing non-income-producing property is wrong. Homeowners should not be forced to work to pay "rent" to the government for the privilege of living in their own homes. Property taxes should only be levied on income-producing property, as the income provides a means to pay the tax.

@nytimes 😂

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V

See you tomorrow @Publix

@ss2863 @RepThomasMassie @mattgaetz Lmao he got more votes than Trump in his distract

@RepThomasMassie @mattgaetz Damn! I’m not surprised that your worthless ass is ALWAYS the first person to make a smart ass comment about someone in the administration. I will be glad when you lose your seat. At least then maybe you will disappear from my feed.

Pam Bondi will be known as one of the great crime fighters of our time. She is a patriot who has all of our appreciation. Todd Blanche left his comfortable job at a major firm to defend President Trump against horrendous lawfare. He has shown moral courage, strength and exquisite legal talent. Todd will do a great job for the Trump/Vance Administration and us all.

@DamnYeahCrypto @Rob1Ham Oh hunny

@Rob1Ham The miners and nodes?

If bitcoin was a democracy it wouldn’t be interesting.

@willchamberlain Right x.com/realdonaldtrum…

Reminder that Rand ran against Trump in 2016 and got shellacked. Trump is not a libertarian, libertarianism is not broadly popular. Republican voters are hawkish and support the military - they just don't like *stupid* interventions.

@willchamberlain Right

Reminder that it took a full fifteen years for the Iraq War to become unpopular enough among Republican voters for a critic to get the nomination Remember that Trump's message was 2016 wasn't just "Iraq was dumb" - it was also "support our vets" and "bomb the shit out of ISIS"

@TFTC21 @ViktorBunin

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.

@Brogan01122972 @theficouple I was agreeing with you

@BunkFreamon @theficouple Thx for proving my point

@JxGilly @AmerPhilo2025 A mathematician you are not

@AmerPhilo2025 0.05% of 80 million is still 4 million people. That’s still a large amount of people that should not be paid that low. That’s fucking 15k annually PRE TAX

Out of almost 80 million hourly wage earners, only 0.2% are paid the federal or state minimum wage. Of these workers, only .1% are even employed full time. That’s less than .05% of full time wage earners that make the minimum wage. Even better, this number includes wait staff who primarily are paid in tips, which aren’t counted in wage earnings. In short, nobody gets paid minimum wage and the people posting this are uneducated grifters. bls.gov/opub/reports/m…

@energtrader @theficouple Furthermore - using your hypothetical - if the owner were truly only able to pay $7.25/hr - would it be better outcome if there was no job at all? Btw - companies don't pay more than minimum wage out of altruism - they do it due to market forces. Free markets work.

@energtrader @theficouple Find me one in Americas poorest state. indeed.com/m/jobs?q=cashi…
