Take your bitchass buy-the-fucking-dip $300 BTC DCA and buy MSTR $150 strike Feb 2027 calls instead.
MSTR ~0.8 MNAV @ current share price of $110 BTC @ $65K. Return to MNAV of 1 fair value is $137.50 with BTC still at $65K. Upside of 25% without BTC price changing.
July 2025 MNAV was 1.6, share price of $415, BTC $120K. Return to MNAV of 1.6, BTC price fixed at $65K, share price at $220. Upside of 100%.

Libertarianism as a movement seems to be full of difficult and unlikeable people, with a mindset of extreme individualism and independence. They struggle to form and maintain large enough social groups to make meaningful change.
Conservative and progressive parties attract compatible, socially cohesive people working on (in essence) the reduction of societal friction through standardisation of interaction.
Libertarianism conversely aims to remove any standardisation and leaves maximum societal friction. You are free to conduct your business how you individually please, but so is your customer, competitors etc.
Libertarianism has meritocratic success outcomes, and abandons the unproductive. This is detrimental to at least the lower 50% of society.
So a libertarian party relies on hyper-individualistic, high-merit people, forming a group and coming to a consensus which is all the exact opposite of their nature. It may happen occasionally but it seems unsustainable.
Anthropologists say the single biggest success contributor for Homo sapiens was their ability to form larger communities over Neanderthals who could only form small communities.

The closing section of that article, “unnamed crypto lawyer” agrees with the knots side. Every other section admits it’s a low risk attack vector, but they all admit it’s a risk.
The knots side of the argument is acknowledging the risk, and deciding its not a risk they want to take. At this point I think both core and knots proponents understand you can chop up, compress, encrypt, encode etc data and get it onto the blockchain as it is.
It’s not a technical competency thing, it’s a conservative vs progressive view point.

I am a reasonably technical lay-person, has anyone got a strong reason why the OP_RETURN data size increase is necessary or wanted?
Is it a case of improving the infrastructure before we need it? Building out infrastructure and letting the use cases develop?
I think I understand that the alternative uses of the Bitcoin network are maxing out the 80 byte limit, increasing the size of the block chain. Then, they are also using the UTXO address (or something) to post their data, bloating both the blockchain and the UTXO set. As these UTXOs are not valid transactions they can not ever be spent and will sit in the UTXO set for eternity.
The UTXO set is stored in memory (RAM - expensive) and the blockchain is in storage (cheap).
The workaround is to just increase the OP_RETURN size to stop the UTXO bloat. Blockchain gets bigger so more storage is needed by nodes, but nodes are mostly SPV nodes and don’t store the blockchain anyway. These nodes do require the UTXO set in RAM (somewhat).
If the UTXO set were to get too large, nodes become too expensive and as a result the total number of nodes drops, reducing the security of the network as a whole.
The Bitcoin core developer stance is they are being neutral to the various forms of users of the Bitcoin network by increasing the data limit.
In effect, large OP_RETURN data transactions take up larger portions of each block without increasing the total block size beyond the already established 4MB maximum.
So we’re still having the same maximum block size, just it’s likely it’ll be used more frequently. The OP_RETURN data is optional to store on a full node, so you don’t need store it. The growth of the blockchain size is still inline with previous projections if you assumed full size blocks for every block.
So technically, nothing changes. Thus the developer stance of neutrality.
The issue is then philosophical, being that a 100kb file size is well… concerning. 100kb allows for 640 x 480 pixel JPEG to be stored directly on the blockchain.
I guess that’s the crux of the issue then right? Plausible deniability that running a bitcoin node isn’t distributing illicit material goes straight out the window. So the only nodes you can run would be lightweight nodes, and no one ever stores the full blockchain or they’ll get SWATed for CSAM.
This is where I don’t get the WHY of the change. Why enable the undesirable use cases of the Bitcoin network because it’s “technically neutral” to do so, when clearly you’re opening the door to certain doom?
Please help me understand.

- “sucky” government is subjective and relative to each individual

- a % of this is allocated to bitcoin

This is about the craziest election prediction market graph I’ve seen yet.
The upcoming Australian election, much like the Canadian election, highlights just how much impact the US political landscape has had internationally.
The Liberal (conservative) party aligned themselves with Trump, you can see almost to the day that when tariff talks turned serious, Australians turned away.
All the Labor Party have had to do is to seem sensible and pragmatic, and to stay the Australian-first party line.
There is no single-issue policy deciding the election. For the Bitcoiners, neither party have offered anything meaningful.
For added context, the Labor party is centrist-left, not progressive left.

I’ve got 2 points of Bitcoin maxi rhetoric I’m struggling with at the moment, maybe you can help me out.
In a BTC-only world, my biggest concern is the rebirth of financially-driven wars in geopolitics. Bitcoiners say without infinite money, wars are unsustainable, however I think nations will start analysing the potential profit from seizing other nations’ BTC. Especially given there can be no sanctions on the permissionless transactions.
The nation-state equivalent of a $5 wrench attack is a 50000 BTC invasion to seize150000 BTC.
My other concern is that I don’t understand how credit can work in a BTC-only world with deflationary prices, I feel like we would end up with no social mobility. The rich stay rich, the poor can’t grow their wealth as they won’t have access to capital to expand their businesses. I guess you could raise capital via selling equity in the business.
Raise 1 BTC to buy a machine that has positive sats flow, pay dividends to your equity holders. The compression of prices without credit brings prices closer to the cost of production. The machine would need to return more BTC than the deflation rate, or no one would take the deal. It feels really economically restrictive?

I’ve settled on the idea of the 2-tier system being the most likely. All international trade in BTC, substantial savings of citizens in BTC but the majority of internal domestic activity in the fiat of your country.
Well run nations will have small debt, small new currency issuance and attempt to maintain a peg ratio to BTC. Allows for the creation of credit (we’ll never escape the need for a young person needing a mortgage) but likely requires high interest rates. Citizens of these countries will be able to hold a cash balance in fiat and savings in BTC.
Poorly run nations will inflate their currency against BTC endlessly and their citizens will maintain both cash and savings in BTC, only using the fiat of their county when required.

Possibly some free alpha for my NOSTR freaks in our goon cave.
Fold App (FLD - Fold Holdings) with 1485 Bitcoin ($125mil) in its treasury trading at $2.69, market cap $126 mil…
Trying to work out this valuation, assets minus liabilities minus a % on cash burn rate?
I can’t use Fold as a non-US based person, is it a good user experience?
59000 people in the credit card waiting list. Assume average APR of credit card of 21.47%, average of 47% of credit card holders have a carry over balance, average carry over balance is $6580. Potentially approx $39 mil a year ($3.3 mil a month) in interest payments to collect from Fold’s current waiting list.
Fold spends ~$360K a month cash burn.
Fold cost of capital is reported as “around industry average”, 8.74%, rounding up to 9%. Fold would be paying ($6580 x 0.09) x (59000 x 0.47), $16.4 mil a year, $1.3 mil a month for this credit.
Looking at ~$2 mil a month in free cash flow before additional costs and losses around providing credit (no idea what to deduct here).
Cash burn rate goes from -$360K a month, to $1.64 mil.
Long term, assume some Bitcoin purchasing into treasury once profitable of like 10% of profits, accruing $160K BTC a month.
Bitcoin Yield (%) = ((BTC per share at end of period / BTC per share at start of period) - 1) × 100
Modelling out 2 years from credit card launch, assume BTC average price of $100K (insert your optimistic BTC price here)
$160K / $100K x 24months = 38.4 BTC
50mil shares (approx fully diluted)) , assume no capital raises via equity.
((((1485 BTC + 38.4 BTC)/50 mil)
(1485 BTC /50mil)))-1)*100 = ~2.6% BTC yield.
2.6% BTC yield just on re-invested profits, plus assumed BTC in treasury price appreciation.
Assume some credit rating increase, ability to issue convertible bonds to buy BTC etc.
Essentially, $20mil a year in profit, 50 mil shares gives a DCF enterprise value of $480mil, add in 1485 BTC to enterprise value, $580 mil total. Gives a share price of $11.71.
Assume my analysis is full of holes (bitcoiners don’t carry a card balance maybe?), but I see the path forward. Pretty bullish at current price, unless credit card product gets denied.

That’s fair. I wonder if framing it as, given roads and public transport infrastructure are a monopoly of the state, and no private infrastructure can really be built for mass public use (with very limited exceptions, toll bridges, tunnels etc), is the state’s obligation here to reap the highest reward for the tax payer by incentivising the most productive use of the infrastructure with the least cost?
Or does that just lead back to letting individuals make their own appropriate economic choice is best?

Wildcard play: Social security is going to get bailed into treasuries

2025-04-09 07:16:34 UTC

Looking for the Nostr opinion on this:
Assumption: Public transport is not profitable, it’s a service paid for by our tax dollars.
We collect fare money by the users of the service so they pay a higher portion of the costs as they use it.
Given we all pay the bill in some way whether we use it or not, we all have a vested interest in the service. The more people that use it, the trains, buses etc required, more routes to cover and more time slots.
The net effect of increased public transport usage is less cars on the road, less wear on infrastructure etc less cost to the tax payers on net. Public transport produces a net saving for the tax payers greater than the cost of providing it.
Given this, reducing the cost of fares to 0 benefits everyone. Why not go a step further and PAY people to take public transport. Give them their carrot, $1 a fare.
My vested interest in this is I HAVE to drive my car full of tools around between jobs. So if you don’t HAVE to transport anything but yourself, maybe stay off the road and get in a bus lol.

I’m loving seeing the forced moment of thought this has created in GME holders.

Might as well just buy whatever @nprofile…uge3 talks about at this point.
GameStop to be the next Bitcoin Treasury company, LFG.

I 100% think the Tesla “terrorism” is an insurance job being orchestrated by Tesla / Elon. Utilising the bad press environment to get old stock off the books.

A repeating theme in history is those that don’t adopt new technologies for moral or protectionist reasons, lose to those that do.

If cap gains tax is removed like what’s being thrown around lately, does this just open the door wide open to bitcoin adoption? Or how about instead of a cap gains tax, just a 1% in kind fee on all bitcoin transactions paid to the federal government? 100 sat purchase, 1 sat to the gov, no tax owed (excluding applicable sales taxes)

Michael Saylor has talked about offering bitcoin backed lending, as has Jack Mallers.
Strategy have no retail customers, Strike has a large amount of global retail customers already.
Strategy is aiming for bitcoin yield, Strike is a sats-flowing profitable business.
Strike likely already has lots of licensing allowing them to offer these services, Strategy has the capital to fund the services.

Speculation: Strike will be bought by Strategy to launch Strategy’s Bitcoin banking services direct to pre-existing customers.

It’s really the last sentence for me, I can’t live inside a cold wallet. The arguments for bitcoin are the same for property investment - spending fiat to buy hard assets.
My question I guess is more how do people approach mortgage sizing as a percentage of their income? 20%? 30% 50%? Get the biggest mortgage possible, pay the bare minimum and let inflation do the work?

How does Nostr feel about mortgage sizes relative to income? Gotta live somewhere

One thing that stood out to me in this episode was (paraphrasing) “there’s only room for a few people to be highly successful in one field, but plenty of room for people to claim affinity to that field on social media”.
It’s easier to simply associate yourself with something cool or indicative of success than it is to actually be good at something and let your work talk for itself.
In recent months I’ve reduced my posting of rollerblading content down to almost 0 and I’ve focused on my actual job, fixing dental equipment. In this time I’ve been promoted, abused by customers over the phone for problems with their equipment then thanked profusely for fixing it, made more money and worked harder than I’ve ever worked before.
In my field of work, there is no social media hype to be seen. The moment you post something bragging of your successes, you will be cut down by a customer with another broken piece of equipment. The success you have to show over those who can’t hang in the industry, is by staying in business. Those who can’t cut it, go under. Your only signal of success is a website to your business that has never been taken down, and a slogan that says “over 15 years in business”.
The sales reps of dental equipment change brands every few years as they burn all their contacts, and the great service engineers have resumes with 20+ years with one company and a phone that rings all day.
As I approach 12 years with company I work for, with a phone that rings all day, I’m hoping that on I’m way to being considered a great service engineer.
Rollerblading is shifting back to being the social hobby it began as, and out of being a second job. Focus, focus.

This amazing series gives you existential dread. I absolutely loved it, and despise how scarily correct the logic of the dark forest theory feel.

Understood the technical side of bitcoin in 2013, didn’t buy any for another 7 years. /shrug

Doesn’t NOSTR DMs have the issue that even if the contents of the message is encrypted, the relays are still broadcasting the message to a publicly known address? Like you can see who is messaging each other, even if you can’t see what they’re saying.
Or can nPUBs create subaddresses and obfuscate that away?
