Not a whole lot unfortunately. You pretty much know my story already. I got bitcoin core and a lighting wallet. I made my first purchase with BTC. I got my dad into BTC. But I wouldn't say that anything I've done has had any real effect.

Hopefully 2025 I'll be able to contribute more to the community.

Always. I'm pretty used to Wisconsin winters. 😁

I always enjoy your perspective on things. I have been trying to view the world from a more financial perspective this past 6 months. It's helped me make a lot of better decisions.

Wife and 20m. My life would be exactly the same plus 20m

It's been a few days since I've been active. Real world can get busy. I decided to dig deep and see if I can find something you've even heard about.

Been a busy fucking week stackers. Driving a Semi in the snow really fucking sucks. Glad it's the weekend finally.

My mom asked me to explain NFTs to her. I said: Imagine going to build a bear and making a teddy bear. It's the same teddy bear that anyone else can make or copy. The only difference is i shove something up my teddy bears ass that makes it one of a kind. You can't see it. It doesn't change anything, and what you shoved up there is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

For anyone following along with my company getting bought out. The new owners came by and had a meeting. Apparently they are increasing our 401k match. Giving us overtime at 40 hours instead of 45 (previous company was 45), and giving us raises.

This is obviously much better than what I imagined would happen, so hopefully they fommow through on what they've said.

OMG it's 42!!!!

P2p is primarily used in places where it's needed. If bitcoin were made illegal to hold in the USA then innovation would happen around p2p.

I'm sure the banks are going to obstruct, but I stick to my point. I'm holding I don't care what any law says.

Bitcoin will still be around. USA isn't the only country.

Laws can only be enforced if enough people follow them.

The government is going to shut down p2p? That totally worked with the pirate bay.

But oh no, all those illegal mp3s!

The government trying to shut down bitcoin is exactly why you DONT sell.

They can make it illegal if they want. Idgaf still holding.

When do they ship?

I'd imagine some of the passkey apps are vulnerable to password attacks. 🤣

You know, it's good that someone was willing to say it. Not everyone deserves to be alive.

It would be more shocking if a story from legacy media turned out to be true at this point.

Yea, self driving trucks are somewhere on the horizon. I'm not counting on being able to retire in this industry.

Yea my company used to be really good at keeping up with other companies wage wise, but this last 2 years it's gotten bad.

The trucking industry is really rough. My wife usually starts with 3 weeks vacation as a project manager.

I already haven't gotten a raise in the last 2 years. I may be time to move on anyhow. The only thing that's stopping me is that it took 10 years to get 4 weeks of vacation. If I start new somewhere, I likely won't have any vacation for the first 2 years.
