With that kind of leap, 1.5 or 3 million would take a few years, so don't sell if that occurs. Buy bitcoin and spread the hate thin. Keep pressing governments to have a very small bitcoin reserve. Any small government is best past 1965. It's overdue. Following-the-money is the transparent and directed philosophy of bitcoin and the world needs it. Badly. Humanity's memory has been annihilated too many times. Help end convenient amnesia and repressive ways while being strong to handle clearer truths. Next, a more perfect union may surprise. Occupy Wall Street put bitcoin on the map after a Washington-DC-Wall-Street bailed-out banks and printed more dollars. Some panicked and only thought of themselves. Many suffered. Bitcoin being in US interests has been difficult and tricky plus there's plenty of liars, who need reality checks not bonus checks. Some, believe they can change your tides. Flood their lies by using bitcoin. Don't ever sell the farm, and have a diverse portfolio. Humanity may not need 'fast' anymore, if wanting to be more intelligent using working hearts to fuel minds, while modeling technology with nature. Comfort is to bring strength, not to sap strength. Boring bitcoin is wise, free and a brave way. Make bitcoin The way and pay attention.

This isn’t happening. I was in DC for the announcement of the crypto reserve. # budget neutral strategies For those not paying attention, they are not *buying* anything. What they are doing is keeping confiscated bitcoin or keeping Bitcoin people use to pay taxes as a reserve, instead of selling it.

No, and I’m not engaging in a strawman argument with you. You clearly have no real understanding of how the world economy works, and more importantly, how people work, regardless of citizenship. And I have a full understanding of exactly how corrupt and greedy all governments are, including ours in the US, which are some of the most corrupt politicians in the entire world. They could nuke DC tomorrow and I would throw a party. What you are failing to understand is the notion of mutually assured destruction. If the government begins just OPENLY seizing people’s money/ETF’s bitcoins, its populace will absolutely revolt and that’s not even a question.

I was listening to the latest WBD pod at the gym, at the start they're chatting about the bitcoin bill, how the plan was asking for something crazy (1m coin) , then settle for 300K or something... But they said with everything that's happened in DC so far, the bill will probably pass as is. Would be a smart move for USA.

Fun fact, after sbf met with gensler, sbf created a lobbying group that flew to DC multiple times a week to try to take crypto away from SEC jurisdiction and give it to the cftc. In fact, cftc was about to give ftx full control of our commodities markets, weeks before it crumbled... they almost crashed our markets. https://youtu.be/s7oN3qMBAP0?si=Apv21up59L9CRZvA Then every crypto firm and their news agencies and social bots repeated the same anti-sec anti-gensler bs propoganda. Now that gop won the house and executive, guess what is happening... they've effectively deemed crypto crime is legal and that retail is unprotected. Another fun fact, sbf also paid off republicans with his "lobbying", except he admitted that it was done illegally through dark channels so nobody would know. His partner, Rian Salame got busted for this. Funny how the crypto owned news sites didn't mention it.

I hope he makes it go down further.. where I can buy more. Instead of allowing trump derangement syndrome to control your emotions. Maybe should do some research of why he doing what he is doing..maybe for once quite listening to cnn and the likes.. doing some actual research into what elon is doing. not what they Say he doing. And look at Canada and how much they charge us and china how much they charge us.. HIE MUCH WE DEPEND ON CHINA IS REALLY SCARY.. scarier the trump.. but you have to actually look into what they have as in control. Like 90% of our meds/ antibiotics, steel, LITHIUM,CHIPS. none of what we cannot live without in us. I'm proud to have a president bring alll the corruption of DC swap creatures to light. And all the money they wasting send to crazy bs places paying for transgender bs crap in Egypt. 99% of Americans don't want money going to that bs.. and want preside to to start holding other countries accountable for the taking advantage of us tax payers. But in the end you have trump derangement syndrome and untill you actually do some research you will be blind

It’s like Bukele said in his speech in DC… if you can just print money out of thin air to fund the government, then why do you need to collect taxes? It’s to create the illusion that taxpayers are actually funding the government. Or something to that effect.

Is electrum code 100% yours? You seem to trust that. Did you audit TailsOS code? You're trusting that. How will you sign transactions? Will have to be always offline. The computer you set this up on was "DC'd from the internet completely (i only have cable internet so it was easy)" which I don't really follow. Did you connect it or not? That's already not cold if you had connect, cable or wifi doesn't matter. Not pressing you, but it's just easier to avoid mistakes with a hardware device you buy and learn top to bottom once. What you're doing is fine and doable but is suited to someone with more experience. Hardware wallet, if used correctly, eliminates a lot of potential issues and opportunities for leaks.

What’s astonishing is I can tell you’re sincere with this statement. So at least you got that going for you. I’m not going to explain in detail to you why your logic is flawed. I’m not trying to be a dick when I say this, truly, but I can tell you don’t understand how supply chain works or the economic consequences of what you just suggested. I will add, what you are suggesting in terms of companies only buying American or producing domestically, well, that would collapse the entire economy. And by the way, companies will never do what you’re suggesting or your IPhone will be $50,000 a phone. You can throw these grandiose macro ideas out in the air all you want, and assume it’s a simple fix, but economics has layers beyond layers and with every layer comes consequences. As for NATO, your comment is ludicrous but again, you don’t seem to understand the reasoning behind NATO or its importance, especially during the Cold War. Again, geopolitics just like economics, has layers and consequences and blanket statements such as yours show me you don’t know what you’re talking about. As for comparing Trump to George Washington. Albeit, it’s amusing……. it’s also somewhat insulting. George Washington never spent months inciting a riot which then turned into a mob storming The Capital to stop the Certification of an Election. And while we’re at it, George Washington also never called a Secretary of State demanding to find votes after realizing he lost a state. So no, Trump is nothing like George Washington. I’m not even sure if Trump has ever actually read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, and I honestly mean that. And before you suggest January 6th was bullshit, I’d like to add, I was in DC the morning of the riots at the Capital. I saw and heard eveything with my own eyes and ears. I saw what Trump did that day. I heard him give the marching orders and watched the reactions of the crowd.

you're overestimating nukes. If Düsseldorf gets nuked, then Duisburg, Essen, Wuppertal, Leverkusen and Cologne would be uninhabitable for several months, but Winterberg would not be affected at all. If Washington DC and New York would both get nuked, you'de be save on the other side of the Appalaches. If both San Francisco and Los Angeles got nukes, you'd be safe on the other side of the Rockies. Each country big enough to be a relevant target for nukes still has places in the middle of nowwhere that aren't worth a nuke.

Do you think all government employees work in DC? They're firing forest service employees who are on the low end for wildland fire pay along with having harsh hours during fire season and being the ones to manage brush in the off-season and keeping national parks in a low risk state for visitors. Think like taking care of decaying trees so they don't fall on pampered people that don't know the work of the land

TLDR: Every meme coin has snipers, Libra guy claims they snipe to keep the "professional snipers" away and not to make profits to them put back into the coin. He holds in possession $100m and is holding it as leverage until Argentina figures out how to handle it, as his family is being threatened with extortion. Claimed at the DC crypto dinner insiders were given the heads up about Trump coin to buy pre-launch but does not know who gave the info. He claimed Argentina president knows little to nothing about crypto and most likely has no idea what he's even done. In the end he tries to justify project sniping by saying you sometimes need to snipe to protect the project. He claims he is not making any money, he doesn't know what to do, people sold their coins for a loss, he doesn't know how to handle it.

Warren proposed the creation of the CFPB when she was a professor at Harvard and later set it up in 2010 when she worked under President Obama. Although Warren never ran the bureau, everyone in DC knows that CFPB does her bidding because it is staffed top to bottom with Warren acolytes.

I just watched an interview with her talking about the politicians she’s working with on the reserve and she refers to them as “bitcoin holders”. While I’m set to benefit from a Bitcoin strategic reserve, I can’t help but feel the conflict of interest is egregious. You know damn well DC will be pumping their bags before they officially announce the reserve. This is no different than the insider trading happening in DC but half the regards in here are welcoming it with open arms. Smdh 🤦‍♂️

How to take action!! FOR THOSE OF YOU LOOKING TO TURN YOUR ANGER INTO ACTION, here's some advice from a high-level staffer for a Senator. Re-posting from a friend of mine: There are two things that we should be doing all the time right now, and they're by far the most important things. You should NOT be bothering with online petitions or emailing. 1. ⁠The best thing you can do to be heard and get your congressperson to pay attention is to have face-to-face time — if they have town halls, go to them. Go to their local offices. If you're in DC, try to find a way to go to an event of theirs. Go to the "mobile offices" that their staff hold periodically (all these times are located on each congressperson's website). When you go, ask questions. A lot of them. And push for answers. The louder and more vocal and present you can be at those the better. 2. ⁠But those in-person events don't happen every day. So, the absolute most important thing that people should be doing every day is calling. YOU SHOULD MAKE 6 CALLS A DAY: 2 each (DC office and your local office) to your 2 Senators & your 1 Representative. The staffer was very clear that any sort of online contact basically gets immediately ignored, and letters pretty much get thrown in the trash (unless you have a particularly strong emotional story — but even then it's not worth the time it took you to craft that letter). Calls are what all the congresspeople pay attention to. Every single day, the Senior Staff and the Senator get a report of the 3 most-called-about topics for that day at each of their offices (in DC and local offices), and exactly how many people said what about each of those topics. They're also sorted by zip code and area code. She said that Republican callers generally outnumber Democrat callers 4-1, and when it's a particular issue that single-issue-voters pay attention to (like gun control, or planned parenthood funding, etc...), it's often closer to 11-1, and that's recently pushed Republican congressmen on the fence to vote with the Republicans. In the last 8 years, Republicans have called, and Democrats haven't. So, when you call: A) When calling the DC office, ask for the Staff member in charge of whatever you're calling about ("Hi, I'd like to speak with the staffer in charge of Healthcare, please") — local offices won't always have specific ones, but they might. If you get transferred to that person, awesome. If you don't, that's ok — ask for that person's name, and then just keep talking to whoever answered the phone. Don't leave a message (unless the office doesn't pick up at all — then you can — but it's better to talk to the staffer who first answered than leave a message for the specific staffer in charge of your topic). 😎 Give them your zip code. They won't always ask for it, but make sure you give it to them, so they can mark it down. Extra points if you live in a zip code that traditionally votes for them, since they'll want to make sure they get/keep your vote. C) If you can make it personal, make it personal. "I voted for you in the last election and I'm worried/happy/whatever" or "I'm a teacher, and I am appalled by Betsy DeVos," or "as a single mother" or "as a white, middle class woman," or whatever. D) Pick 1-2 specific things per day to focus on. Don't rattle off everything you're concerned about — they're figuring out what 1-2 topics to mark you down for on their lists. So, focus on 1-2 per day. Ideally something that will be voted on/taken up in the next few days, but it doesn't really matter — even if there's not a vote coming up in the next week, call anyway. It's important that they just keep getting calls. E) Be clear on what you want — "I'm disappointed that the Senator..." or "I want to thank the Senator for their vote on... " or "I want the Senator to know that voting in _____ way is the wrong decision for our state because... " Don't leave any ambiguity. F) They may get to know your voice/get sick of you — it doesn't matter. The people answering the phones generally turn over every 6 weeks anyway, so even if they're really sick of you, they'll be gone in 6 weeks. From experience since the election: If you hate being on the phone & feel awkward (which is a lot of people) don't worry about it — there are a bunch of scripts (Indivisible has some, there are lots of others floating around these day). After a few days of calling, it starts to feel a lot more natural. Put the 6 numbers in your phone (all under P – Politician.) An example is McCaskill MO, Politician McCaskill DC, Politician Blunt MO, etc., which makes it really easy to click down the list each day.

Yeah. It’s not happening. Trump has done a million things in two weeks but this is “being evaluated” which is DC speak for “not gonna happen”

Indeed, and it's why every time something bad happens... something that was exceedingly unlikely, changes get made. It's human nature to feel we need to impose control on situations where there is no control to be gained. Accidents and other bad things simply happen due to circumstance. The recent jet/chopper crash in DC is a good example. A lot of little things went wrong for that to happen, and after the investigation, changes will be made that might have prevented it. But there will be other accidents in the future because the only way to avoid them entirely is to not fly at all.

If you are making <$100K in a HCOL area then you would definitely want to take the BTC and then just go get yourself another job. I make double that in the DC area and would take the deal because it would only take me 2 months at most to get a new job, maybe for a little less salary in the beginning, but would still be good math. The sooner you build your stack, the sooner that stack can compound at BTC's average annual growth rate of 135%. For you, the growth alone on $300K worth starts competing with your whole salary after only the first year (on average). I am a 49 year old investment manager so not just broke kids on here.

beneblack11

Thanks. I think I will get along with python and Linux. But using DC directly from renewables are new to me. Good point. I will have a look into it

FieserKiller

Sure, many people do exactly that. You can get decent miners, eg Antminer S19k for \~1000€ nowadays. running it at an economic 2000W it'll earn rouhly 5€ in bitcoin per day if run 24h. This 5€ of bitcoin earned today could easily be €50 or more in a few years. Bonus points if you can use its heat somehow by eg heating your house, pool, a greenhouse, melting snow from you panels etc. - free heat! If initial costs are to high, choose an old miner. You can get Antminer S9 for <€100. It'll do only 0.50€ per day at 1000W but you still get heat and that 50ct earned today could be 5€ in a few years. About the automation part: its simple if you know how to code/script. A raspberry pi needs to somehow get readings from your battery and can command the miner to go onn/off when conditions are met. If you don't know how to build that, learing your ways in linux, python etc is a nice project for a few weekends. If you like tinkering with electronics there is more to do: miners run on 220V AC usually, but with renewables there are often ways to run on the batteries DC directly, which is an efficiency bump.

Philly_3D

It really depends where you live and your current standard of living and career. I live just outside DC and 300k doesn't get you very far. Yeah, it would be life changing, but my current job pays that much in just over 2 years and has comprehensive health benefits and a crazy good retirement plan (and I'm not considered rich at all for my area), so the setback wouldn't be offset by even a million, given that I have 14-17 years of work left. I'll take the guaranteed retirement with no house payment and no debt with an individual income of 150k (in retirement) and full benefits, ALL until I die over a speculative 300k. Also, my current job is intrinsically rewarding and super fun!

Long term its just noise but if it happens hold on tight. The real long term driver will be pension funds that will constantly accumulate holdings with a 2% allocation. Pension funds = 35T, IRA = 14.5T, DC = 11.3T. Call it 60 trillion. At 2% allocation that's 6 Trillion just with US pension allocation. Now add in the rest of the world who perhaps don't have access to the US stock market or decide to get more aggressive. Its a self fulfilling prophecy.

Agreed, I just don’t think that’s as likely as people make it out to be. That scenario relies on the assumption that world leaders are fully rational and only care about immediate payback, with no way of stopping them. In reality they’ll probably toss a few nukes back and forth and destroy quite a lot, but at some point or another everyone will start to get gunshy. Maybe mobs will force them to stop, etc. there are far more routes to deescalate on that aren’t talked about because nuclear war is already framed as a worst-case scenario. IMO the most likely scenario is something like this: Russia nukes Ukrainian, the US nukes Moscow , Russia nukes DC. We all throw around 2-3 more volleys and take out a few more cities but increasingly political pressure from other nations and mob rules forces politicians on both sides to stop.

Such bad advice. We treat our credit cards like debit cards - put all our purchases on them, but nothing past what we can afford, and pay them off in full at least once a month. One of us opens a credit card once a year, takes the temp credit hit, but then put all purchases on it to get the hella free points and then never touch it so it just adds to your total credit limit which means every year we are accessing a smaller percentage of our total credit. Our credit scores are hella high as a result (we're both over 800), and we haven't paid for flights in a minute - we even are at the point where we fly cross country first class with a seat for each kid for free. If you have self control and can live within your means, credit cards are incredible for building the great credit you need for mortgages etc and getting a bunch of free flights and hotel rooms. We even got a free suite at the Ritz in DC this year.

Hello frends, If anyone wants to read a report on the state of the market / industry, I’ve put together some on-chain analysis and written something. It aims to reflect on 2024 and look forward to 2025. 3 quick takeaways that are worth thinking about: - 2025 is set to be a great year of stablecoins. With comprehensive legislation of stablecoins being the lowest hanging fruit for the new pro-industry policy makers in DC. - The guidance set out excluding crypto from 401k plans is likely to be relaxed. - On-chain metrics look great heading into the new year, particularly providing validity to the roll up thesis with a growing share of DeFi TVL being on Layer 2 scaling solutions. I tried to make it as accessible as possible for anyone wanting to share their thoughts on the ecosystem around the festival period. Happy to discuss anything and I welcome feedback. I hope you enjoy the holiday season and be merry!

TPS is through the roof with Hydra (1 million TPS) . And decentralization. Plus, Cardano founder *Charles Hoskinson* has announced plans to open a policy office in Washington, DC, to shape the direction of crypto regulation in the United States. The Cardano founder emphasized the “very clear” potential for [his involvement](https://bitcoinist.com/cardano-soars-32-amid-buzz-around-hoskinson-as-trumps-crypto-advisor/) in influencing US crypto policy, while also urging moderation in expectations. “Things are very milky and many discussions are happening and it’s very clear that I’m going to be involved in some capacity influencing policy in the United States,” he stated.

Supposedly India abandoned XRP and is going with a wallet powered by Radix: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/12/05/2992551/0/en/DC-Wallet-Powered-by-Radix-Announces-Partnership-with-Indian-Government-Company-AFC-for-CBDC-Adoption-in-India.html Would be great if there was some more legitimate confirmation or denial of this.

There's more than enough evidence to say that there's a blackmail ring that's prevalent in DC, and that's why any politician that goes in there, regardless of which side of the aisle, ends up supporting the same policies that none of the American people actually want. Think about it; right now, we're getting the _worst_ of both worlds b/w free-market capitalism and centralized economic planning! You have to ask yourself who benefits from those decisions, and then come to the realization that they're the ones who actually control Washington. They're the "fourth" branch of government; the one which was never elected or appointed fairly as per the Constitution. That's who your enemy should be regardless of your political affiliation. Trump said it was rigged, but he never said the Democrats rigged it. What he was saying is that the deep state, as defined above, benefits from Biden being in office b/c he's a senile old man who just needs to be served a bowl of ice cream so he's in a good mood before they ask him to sign off on blowing up half the Middle East. The Democrats, especially the populist ones, aren't my enemies as a conservative! They're like the horse that my enemy is riding; worst comes to worst, I have to kill the horse too, and I won't hesitate if it comes to that, but I'd much rather just knock the man off of it and then set it free after that b/c it's not a threat to my mission anymore. Those same people think I'm the horse that the GOP establishment is riding, but I'm not the one who gets beaten for disagreeing with my master on the right path forward. I consider myself a fellow soldier, albeit the lowest foot-soldier, in Trump's war (instead of as a horse), b/c I have the right to choose whether or not I'm there; I choose to stand by my country, which is what the populist Left thinks it's doing too, but unlike them, I'm not being coerced through virtue signaling, purity tests, and cancel culture into making that choice.

I have studied this in depth, and there is alot of nuance to this . They do pay a higher rate in relation to wages but of overall amount paid it isn’t even close. Top Earners: Pay the highest share of federal income taxes (around 70% of the total). However, they tend to pay a lower share of payroll taxes relative to their income because of income caps. Middle Class Pay a significant portion of payroll taxes, and are often heavily impacted by sales taxes, property taxes, and state taxes. They may also face a relatively high burden from corporate taxes passed on through higher prices and wages. Lower-Income Households Pay little or no federal income taxes, but they often pay a higher proportion of their income in sales and payroll taxes. However when considering property taxes , sales taxes on goods and services , capital gains taxes , as well as 5 taxes the wealthy have that the middle and lower class don’t even know what they are. Both sides often skew the statistical data to back up their position. Remember also that many wealthy are business owners that must pay social security, unemployment and benefits for each employee. Elon Musk in 2021 paid more taxes than the entire population of washington DC and Rhode islands millions of people combined. The numbers also dont take into account the fact that 80% of persons making under 60k get a refund at the end of the year for taxes paid . 1 billion people paying 24% of 60k or just 20 million millionaires paying 10% of a 8 figure income. Who pays more? the 20 million millionaires still generate more total tax revenue ($20 trillion) than the 1 billion people at $14.4 trillion. However, it’s worth noting that while the tax rate is higher for the billion people, the total revenue from the millionaires’ larger incomes still surpasses the total from the 1 billion people. (These numbers are world census of working people and multi millionaires and tax rates are pretty spot on )

I think it should be illegal. I was so hyped two days ago when heared thad Doge is now expensive, i remembered that i had 1000 DC(From stats i see it was 2000). I was so hyped and happy before today.

I know. top 10 since inception means nothing. Sitting in front of congress multiple times means nothing. being asked to go to Washington DC to weigh in on the new crypto committee means nothing. Im not saying other stuff wont pump or outperform the coin. but when the dust settles a handful of projects will be there. I believe for many reasons that Cardano will be one of them.

TheTreeOneFour

I did my apologies. DOT is also a us based iso 2022 compliant project. Have not heard anything about Gavin intermingling with the other founders or Washington DC though.

ZekeFaux

none of the DC politico/lobbyist types I've talked with expect that to pass. There's talk that Trump can establish some kind of reserve without Congressional approval. it's crazy that we're even talking about this though!

It pretty clearly shows why Cardano was not selected, Cardano can't freeze or seize assets and Midnight might be able to, but isn't launched yet... so I'm not sure what angle Charles is really going for. >Cardano does not natively support freeze and seize of tokens at the chain level. Neither the algorithmic Djed or fiat-backed USDM (Moneta, fka Mehen) stablecoins on Cardano have freeze & seize capabilities. >Midnight can serve as a layer-2 solution for interoperability across the EVM and therefore could have the same features as USDP / PYUSD as noted throughout. However, Midnight has not yet been deployed. [source](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XjDC3hoBl6ls-J_fCZf3zQRmfTRMAJTm/edit?gid=801684164#gid=801684164) Charles tweeted: >We didn't have that right. Nothing was published and an unelected bureaucrat decided himself what Cardano can and cannot do and then unilaterally excluded a nearly 40 billion dollar protocol without any debate or oversight. So is he saying that Cardano *can* do that? Because if not, I don't really see how he has a point. >He noted that his company, Input Output Global (IOG), had served in an advisory capacity over the past 18 months but was not informed about the criteria or procedures for selecting blockchains. This should give pause to anyone with high hopes that Charles being an advisor for crypto to DC is somehow going to benefit Cardano anymore than any other crypto project. Having a salesman there is helpful, but the product they are selling stills needs to be compelling and it's not like Cardano is an easy sell at this point compared to Solana or Ethereum.

It's a testament to the ungodly amount of money the crypto industry has been funneling into DC since 2022. They finally have some real power.
