watching Germany constantly shoot itself in the foot while running its printer and being holier than thou on its green crusade , is quite satisfying.
whatever happened to make a better product that someone would like to buy without having to be bribed by subsidies?
instead, let's try and ban diesel and everything else, kill our main industry, and then force and shame people to buy very expensive cars that have no re-sell value after 5 years.
all this while sucking themselves off and pretending the whole thing isn't coming off the back of child labour in the cobalt mines of the Congo.
he's just pandering , but if it's good for btc or wakes more people up that are under his influence , it's not a bad thing
I say HODL post this on nostr and thought it would be good to put it here. fiat mindset trigger warning --
Using @Michael Saylor's base case (13MM a coin by 2045) as the example…
Saving $20 a week = $1,200,000 in 2045
Saving $50 a week = $3,000,000 in 2045
Saving $100 a week = $6,000,000 in 2045
Saving $500 a week = $30,000,000 in 2045
Saving $1,000 a week = $60,000,000 in 2045
Now let’s get properly bullish and use Saylors bull case 🐂 of $49 million per coin by 2045.
Saving $20 a week = $3,600,000 in 2045
Saving $50 a week = $9,000,000 in 2045
Saving $100 a week = $18,200,000 in 2045
Saving $500 a week = $90,000,000 in 2045
Saving $1,000 a week = $181,500,000 in 2045
If you save $20-$50 a week over the next 21 years you will end up with somewhere between 1.2 and 9 million dollars.
-- IMO, even if fiat is really declining, 3 mil will still be a pretty decent chunk of change
people just need to hop over to nostr already , it's right there, download primal and get going.
and if they block that from the app store, learn how to run relays without it. those with a big enough audience should be promoting freedom of speech tech
people forget, that like a gun, bitcoin can be used by those we like, and those we don't. it's a tool that can be used by all and it's not linked to gender or ideology
this is 100% true, then again i wonder, was it always true? has it really changed and honestly i think not.
i see why homeschooling is so popular now, i just see school as a place for my kids to make some friends. while all the other parents are worried about the average exam grades, my approach is ' as long as there a nice teachers and good friends, i can do my bit with the brain programming and teaching the kids to actually think critically'
i suppose that is kind of a counter lesson. like my dad always abused his health and it made me somewhat of a fitness and health nut as a result because i didn't want to end up like that
of course now, when you get a loan in the bank, they literally create the money out of thin air for that loan, it's not even coming from deposits.
would be funny to see someone explain fractional reserves to a bunch of ten year olds tho
fractional reserves happened in the past though, it was just called the bank lying about how many deposits it had on hand
if it relates to the amount of data they share with brokers , it's probably not a bad thing as they all make a fortune off that
but as others have said, if you're on their platforms in the first place, it's already been shared everywhere
if you want to make a paper wallet, you can also go down the paranoia rabbit hole about the rng software you use for the recovery seed and if it's truly rng.
matthew kratter had an interesting video on this topic
do you still have the thign with the older generation where they prefer the good old days because there were , for example, stable factory jobs?
it's inevitable. I'm in the Balkans at the moment and anyone finishing school;s first goal is to escape to Germany or something as the wages are higher (they don't think about the tax etc)
the other half just wants to be a software or coder but what works today might not be a thing tomorrow.
my question has always been, how is Germany supplying jobs to like everyone from around the EU
i saw a bit of this, alhtough nobody really owned a business from my school set, apart from one kid who was set up for life right away.
richest guy from my year is a self-employed hairdresser lol, no wife and didn't even accept card payments until covid forced him to, he had a porchse when he was like 22 (not the best model, but still) while all out other friends were saddled with massive student loans and very, very average jobs
im already raising my daughter to think for herself and make her own opportunities and not see the tradition 'school path' as anything other than something that maybe used to work. question the shit out of authority.
the story about your dad reminds me of a hilarious bit by the Italian American comedian Sebastian Maniscalco called 'my dad loves cash'
yeah, rarely do you hear people say 'oh btw don't save in fiat because it dilutes, store your finances in x instead'
