All that knowledge you gained in school? The University is entitled to a percentage of your earnings, for life.

So we get to burn ridiculous amounts of electricity because companies won't release a public API endpoint? 😆

Paying off my mortgage was the best decision I ever made.

People don't realize how easy it is to get wiped out in a recession. Knowing I'll always have a roof over my head no matter how bad things get is a huge weight off ones shoulders.

It's tax evasion in the eyes of the government.

Every zap I send is a disposition, and needs to be recorded along with the fiat exchange rate. Every zap I receive is considered income. The acquisition of those sats also needs to be tracked to calculate my ACB.

Bukele lost all credibility the day he started running a prison camp for Trump

I switched to using Linux

(Arch btw)

Another VC rugpull in progress.

Ah yes, let's not do something innovative and sane because of political affiliation. Better off mining dirty cobalt for battery storage instead, right? 🤣

If the government is too stupid to build a proper Bitcoin reserve, I'd rather those coins be returned to circulation for the rest of us to stack.

M365 has become a convoluted Rube Goldberg machine IMHO. Even Microsoft barely understands how it works anymore.
