Im not sure... So much is outside my control and I am learning to live with that reality. I am shifting my locus of power from outside to inside myself, which is liberating. I might live in this world, but I dont have to be of this world. I can chose practical safety and spiritual freedom.

Question for US Bitcoiners: Does all my bitcoin have to follow the same accounting method (LIFO, FIFO, HIFO, etc) for gains taxes? If not, under which circumstances can it be different? Does it matter if it's custodial vs self-custody?
I'm considering tax implications of living on bitcoin standard in 2025 now that Strike has Bill Pay.
thanks!

I'm looking forward to trying out strike bill pay in 2025. I need to learn more about the accounting side of living on a bitcoin standard since strike is KYC. Any tips or references?

I have been thinking about the Zen farmer today... is there a difference between good and back luck?
"There once was an old Zen farmer. Every day, the farmer used his horse to help work his fields and keep his farm healthy.
But one day, the horse ran away. All the villagers came by and said, “We're so sorry to hear this. This is such bad luck.”
But the farmer responded, “Bad luck. Good luck. Who knows?” (story continues, but I don't want to post all of it)"

We asked God to help us show them the same tolerance, pity, and patience that we would cheerfully grant a sick friend. When a person offended we said to ourselves, “This is a sick man. How can I be helpful to him? God save me from being angry. Thy will be done."
AA Big Book pg 67
Day 40 #sobriety #aa

2024-11-05 17:34:38 UTC

When I apologize and seek amends, I cannot have any expectations of a particular reaction or response. I have no control over them, only over my words and actions. Expections are premeditated resentments and they keep me away from serenity. Serenity and sobriety must be my focus.
Day 39 #sobriety #recovery #aa

2024-11-03 12:12:37 UTC

Needs versus Expectations. In regards to recovery, is there a difference?
Day 37 #sobriety

2024-10-29 01:25:04 UTC

My partner is not a project for me to fix. I am not a project for my partner to fix. I can see a little more each day. All will be revealed in time.
Day 31 #sobriety

2024-10-27 01:52:03 UTC

Pause. Find the space between thoughts, the time between thought and action, and the energy to do the right thing.
Day 29 #sobriety

2024-10-24 20:27:50 UTC

Expectations are inversely related to my serenity.

Day 22 #aa #sobriety

2024-10-19 01:33:47 UTC

Higher Power, I offer myself to Thee-
To build with me
and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self,
that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties,
that victory over them may bear witness
to those I would help of Thy Power,
Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
May I do Thy will always!

I believe my higher power knows best for me and I will earnestly turn my will over to it. When I suffer, I will pause and open my heart to it's will.

Thankful for the sun shining down on me today. Thankful for all the beautiful people I am meeting, that are entering my life, and are sharing their light.
I see now that I have never trusted sunny people and it was my unwillingness to seek the light that has held me back. I have know this poem for a long time but could never break free of my fears.

Fear has been driving me for so long. Fear keeps me paralyzed, keeps me at status quo, and prevents me from realizing my true potential. Fear is my glass ceiling. Day 9 #sobriety

#bitaxe up and running within a few minutes! I had always wanted to do some mining but the setup and operation cost didn't seem reasonable for me. I'm willing to spend the $1 to $2 per month for this talking piece and education (my lamps cost me more and do less for the greater good). 😀

Been reading FIRE movement books and am super pumped. I really like their emphasis on happiness and personalized solutions. I updated my long overdue personal budget and realized that I'm at 26% savings rate, not on FIRE but still a great start. Bitcoin will hopefully get me on the express path to FI. #FIREmovement #bitcoin
