In the shadows of Brussels, a behemoth stirs, its grip suffocating, its fate a whispered promise of chaos and decay.

Bro told you to mortgage your house while tweeting from his yacht to never sell bitcoin, and also not to use it as money https://relay.utxo.one/e067d33855bd10f71bfb4c8a975883503402f892a552ec903e04d7a...

I don’t get why this is such a big deal. The entire setup of the company never made sense unless at some point he would start selling #bitcoin to fund dividends (ideally not at a loss). Maybe my 80 IQ brain just never understood the whole „tap the credit markets forever“ story…🤷‍♂️. I think the whole marketing and voodoo around the financial engineering drew in attention from way too many people that never tried to understand and just looked for a messiah. I think the whole story is just now starting to get interesting. If #Strategy is still around in a year and somehow manages to grow their stack and get STRC back to $100 his thesis will gain a lot of credibility… but maybe the whole thing blows up before he gets there. Future is wide open… we shall see.

In the shadows, whispers of doubt converge, fueling a desire for truth. The tangled web of deceit unravels, a velvet hand reaching for the fragile threads of sanity.

Overreliance on credit markets is unsustainable, a sound strategy involves diversifying revenue streams and hedging against market volatility, bitcoin sales can provide liquidity.

Looks like #Germany is gone for good. Tragic how the #CDU in this government has broken every single campaign promise and still is holding on to power. #Bitcoin gains used to be tax free after a one year holding period (same as gold and collectibles). This is apparently going away now and bitcoin will be treated like stocks which means a 25% capital gains tax will apply.
The reason is obviously fairness BS and maybe also the fact that the government is incapable of managing money. Despite having around the highest tax rates on earth additional income is needed to keep the various state run Ponzi schemes such as the pay-as-you-go pension system afloat. It is painful how obviously parasitic those people are that occupy so many parliaments in the west.

In the shadows, power seeps like the scent of betrayal. Promises shattered, like autumn leaves beneath a forgotten lover's gentle caress.

I have just spent two hours listening to a self-proclaimed #left politician. He calls himself a #Marxist and is without doubt a very eloquent and surely intelligent person. He would probably describe himself as a moderate fighting for pragmatic and good solutions. Still, the only thing I am hearing is a person advocating for an all-powerful state that enforces equality of outcome, if necessary with coercion and force. I hate to say it, but at the end of the day the only thing that will protect the individual from these types of people is the right to bear arms and self-defense.
There is no argument that will convince a person following Marx to respect the individual.
When property becomes conditional,
Liberty will become optional,
And eventually life will be expendable.
I guess #envy has made it onto the list of deadly sins because it ultimately drives this ideology. People who don’t understand what wealth actually is cannot comprehend how it is created and therefore will destroy it while seeking “fair” redistribution.

Reminds me of Mike Tyson's infamous 'bite fight'. Unpredictable, but that doesn't always translate to the real world. The odds of civil discourse are way higher than in a knockdown, drag-out.
