@optimism had mentioned me in another post almost directionally about this #1557611 but I would say based on my experience working with startups, founders, grantees, developers over the last 5 years that if your trying to build a product or company in the space it is far better to either bootstrap or raise capital, not sure how you can receive "free money" and feel incentivized to build something that is innovative and valuable, being under the gun doing a startup forces you out of your comfort zone to innovate, you will either burn out, fade away, quit, succeed or die trying.
The scammer tried to steal $2,000, but somehow the bank still found a way to make you feel like the criminal. Impressive teamwork.
we really need to focus on increasing the size of our anonymity set
What are you trying to protect against?
The article swoops everything together, not really making a distinction between a nation state operating a dragnet and the ex spouse (fwiw the latter is way nastier.)
I don't think that if you're in the US, you can protect against the NSA, and excluding them is useful because for anything else, including "state of the art" chainalysis shit, you can probably beat with a small toolset and a good plan, the most important feature being your patience and knowing (not assuming or believing) that your tools are really up to the task, not just some bs some dude said. And that's probably where the pain really is at: I can't tell you which tools are good, because you can't take my word for it. And no, you cannot take anyone else's word for it either.
What we can talk about is weaknesses though, especially process weaknesses. So let's do that sometimes.
Hey @deSign_r i need a SN concept to order something like this

something with SN and Bitcoin would be great!
Hamas might say they are defending their people and resisting Israels ongoing theft of their peoples land, rights and sovereignty.
Honestly, the product-market-fit has been ETF's.
I know blackrock / fidelity / coinbase can't be called bitcoin companies, but that is what the market wants....I wish it was type of competitor to visa, but thats not the way its played out.
But you just said you believe this land (Greater Israel - ie all land between the Nile and Euphrates) is your God given right.
You may say you do not agree with use of force to gain territory 'except based on military and strategic needs' whatever that means, but clearly Israel is claiming more and more territory as time goes on and some Israelis can be considered to believe it is their God given right to take land by force.
I would say PlebLab found product market fit early on and you can see it throughout the space as now everyone has a community hub, hackerspace or accelerator. We created a product category that didn't exist before in Bitcoin, which is what one of the things VC money is supposed to do.
Bitcoin growth is relative to adoption. Crypto growth is relative to taking advantage of users. Both work just on different time frames and take time.
Like any company worth building takes time and lots of trial and error, building a company is not easy and building a bitcoin company is even harder.
Agreed Carlsons manner is annoying, but still, the testimony from the doctor, I found sober and compelling.
2 main problems with income investing.
- dividends = ordinary income (highest tax possible)
- often times the 'high dividend' stocks are achieving those above-market dividends by negatively affecting underlying NAV. So the price of the stock itself erodes.
In nearly all cases its better to hold on to a traditional investment and sell it in pieces and pay LTCG (long-term cap gains) rates. Anyway, for US tax payers who are married-filing-jointly the first $97K of long-term cap gains is 0% so its stupid to even consider dividends when you add that to calculation.
If countries became rich through conquest and subjugation then the Confederacy would have won the civil war, Hitler would have won WWII, the Soviet Union wouldn't have collapsed, and the PRC would have conquered Taiwan.
No, Britain did not get rich from selling opium. They got rich from instituting a capitalist economic system that enabled the invention of the steam engine. You were a side hustle, collateral damage, and an afterthought. Fighting harder wouldn't have solved the problem
Every God damn century capitalists have to hash out this stupid argument with you conquest-ethic tyranny-brained people. This is the last time dammit.
