I took the train to the capital yesterday it was a 4 hour ride and its a great time to reflect. I was driving 170km/h at times, and i could clock it with my phone. I had non stop internet access despite going at these speeds from one 4g tower to the other. I was also connected to 20 or so satelites which was what gave me instant and accurate information about the speed i was going. I mean its unbeilavable when you think about it and we just take it for granted it seems!

Planning out the next few issues of my newsletter "Living on Bitcoin." Started getting a lot of questions from newcoiners about it and trying to address their questions and concerns. Maybe even simplify the message more.
Still messing around with wallets that suit my needs... Really happy with Sparrow and Phoenix Wallet. Incorporated Edge Wallet now as well. Pretty solid (on-chain only) wallet and I like the TX QuickBooks export is super helpful. Breez does a CSV export, but if only it would also put the exchange rate as well, then that'd be the go to mobile wallet.
Yeah, reporting sucks... but getting audited sucks even more.

I gave up on reporting a long time ago. Not tax advice but I just try the best I can and click submit. If I mess and I get audited again just try your best to comply and just pay whatever is owed.

I hear you. Similar situation, though I've learned that when it comes to it, better to have and no use than to not have and need it.

You are correct. Just a shame governments shake down people for nickels and dimes. All the time wasted dealing with taxes.

And all the money wasted printing and mailing out letters for the dumbest things too. Received 4 identical letters stating that they've updated my address... What a waste of tax payer dollars...

I'd be very grateful to be alerted to any specialist publications (eg, professional & trade journals) that sometimes have strong & original writing about things. Thanks.
Have nothing to do today, so going through new publications i came across in recent times and adding them to rss feed. I am using NetNewsWire for that. They have a p good UI for just that.
