Here's what happened this year for those who missed it:

A trillion dollars of prime Florida real estate needs to be repriced.
How much are coastal properties worth in a world where insurers suddenly refuse to insure, or jack up premiums 10x?
Families that stored the majority of their wealth in their homes are facing massive losses.
Homes are not designed to store wealth long-term. They're designed to be enjoyed and lived in.
And yet homes are one of the most popular savings vehicles in the world.
Bitcoin is designed to store value.
"But Bitcoin isn't tangible!"
You mean it can't be flooded by the ocean or blown apart by a tornado?
And I can just hold it for zero cost without paying property tax or 1% of it's value in insurance each year?
Sounds pretty great to me.
A lot of people seem to have forgotten that cold stored Bitcoin is the king of assets.
But something tells me they'll be reminded soon.
To separate Money and the State....

No, this is not a photo of homeless people!
This was taken 2weeks ago outside the UIF offices in Cape Town. Queues start at 2AM to secure a place in front of the line. They only issue numbers to the first 15 people. #TheWesternCapeWorks @alanwinde @CityofCT @geordinhl WTF?

Kenya is playing a dangerous game with these taxes.
16% on bread
20% on airtime and internet
20% to move your money (mobile or bank)
20% on gross turnover for Amazon, Google, Netflix, etc (called an “Economic Significance Presence Tax”)
2.5% annual value of vehicle tax
There’s a reason Kenyans nicknamed Ruto ‘Zakayo’ the Kiswahili translation of the Biblical tax collector Zacchaeus.

3) the world is going to feel really, really different 4 years from now
4) #BTC issuance will never be as high again as it is right now
Cheers to 2024-2028 🫡🥂

Friday was another rewards day at @the_surfer_kids and payments are no longer fiat denominated, but all in sats only, fixed (for now) at 5k sats/month!
Kids receive monthly #Bitcoin rewards for above average attendance and good behavior at @the_surfer_kids daily program.
Sats are paid to a personalized @bolt_card, with kids' names printed on it, linked to their own @lnbits wallet hosted on our @voltage_cloud node, and spent at township spaza shops equipped with a @Bitcoinize POS device.
Along with the painted shacks, thrift shop and merchandise sales, this is the fourth operational component that we've switched from fiat to #Bitcoin denominations.

"Cypherpunks write code.“
31 years ago on March 9, 1993, Eric Hughes published A Cypherpunk's Manifesto.
"Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down."
Cypherpunks, the forefathers of #bitcoin
"...privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy."

Yall need to watch “Dumb Money.”
You need that DeepFuckingValue $GME mentality.
Wall St. is coming for your #bitcoin.
The boomies are coming for your #bitcoin.
When you are tempted to sell: remember what their greed-ridden generation took from you.
Think about what the Fiat Generation did to the American dream.
You need to FUCKING HODL.
You need to make them fuckin’ pay.
$1M #BTC until we part with a single motherfuckin’ sat.
And even then - 5% of your stack - tops. Save the rest for full hyperbitcoinization.
This is the omega short squeeze.
This time it’s not just Citadel, Robin Hood, Melvin, and one meme stock.
It’s the whole goddamn system.
And you have the keys to the asset that will bring it to its knees.

Know your rights! Luckily, this Mom had an amazing Friend who knows the law and the facts. Always have an advocate with you at the Hospital.
"True Story: A friend of mine just had a baby via emergency c-section and is currently still in the hospital recovering while her baby is in the NICU.
This mother has been through more than any human being could ever imagine having to go through over a lifetime and is still one of the sweetest, strongest women.
She chose to decline the vitamin K shot for her baby because as you can see from the package insert there are clear warnings and because the hospital she is in couldn't pressure her into changing her mind, they then called CPS on her.
Yes, you read that right. CPS was called on her for declining something she has every legal right to decline and every logical reason to decline.
Thankfully another friend of mine, Erin Crawford, was able to be at the hospital when the hospital social worker came in. And you know what? The hospital was scared of the facts Erin was presenting. So much so.. they brought in the head of nursing, the attending physician, and the hospital administrator to the room to discuss what she was presenting to them.
After 40 minutes of talking to them, the head of nursing and the attending physician ADMITTED they had no idea the Vit K shot has a black box warning (strictest warning put on the labeling of drugs by the FDA when there is reasonable evidence of an association of a serious hazard.)
The hospital lawyer ADMITTED the consent and refusal forms that are given to patients when declining said drugs do not fully inform the patient and are illegal, apologized profusely and promised to revise the forms.
They then could do nothing else but promise to leave this poor mother alone.. which is great! But this shouldn't have happened to begin with and it happens ALL the time.
First of all, why is CPS being called on parents for no reason other than harassment?
Second of all, why didn't the doctor and nurse know that the Vit K shot, they were not only recommending but harassing a patient into giving her newborn baby, has a black box warning? Shouldn't doctors know every detail about every drug they prescribe?
Thirdly, why is the hospital giving consent and refusal forms that do not adequately inform patients of the risks associated with every drug they are consenting to?
Fourthly, why is the Vit K shot being given to EVERY SINGLE newborn baby when it clearly states on the package insert that it should only be given when the serious risk involved is considered justified?
Edited to note: For those of you questioning whether VIT K is administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, it was confirmed by the doctors at this hospital as well as birth professionals in the comments on this post that standard practice is intramuscular."

Any #Bitcoin companies out there wanna spend some sats on a good cause? Because this is 100% worth it.
@tri_bitcoinza has put in the proof of work, I can vouch for that. He's the dude who pulled all the loose threads together for @AdoptingBTCcpt.
And he'll be competing in our backyard, in the Mossel Bay IronMan, later this year.
He's getting a custom trisuit made and, for a few sats, will put your logo on it.
Limited space, obviously.

Good morning, the bitcoin network eats waste energy for breakfast.
Six more Cash Generators mine #bitcoin using methane that would otherwise be vented and flared on a Saskatchewan oil well.
The Rai stones of Yap.
I love the story of how one stone was lost at sea. However, after consensus was reached, the stone continued to be traded because it still existed.
