I thought this kinda thinking was more fair game for like of Gates. Even then, he hung out w/ Epstein a lot. I think that can be attributed to Epstein trying to flatter and collect powerful people. Which I agree with.
But none of this explains Trump which exists on another level and then *THIS* happens.
And do you mean literally fucked? Because I think he probably did. I didn’t even get into the lawsuits that alleged that was true! Search “Katie Johnson” and Trump. See what comes up.

Trump had many pictures w/ Epstein including videos, was listed on the flight logs multiple times, was quoted in an interview with the New York magazine where Trump said, “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”, and Epstein called Trump his “closest friend” on tape.
Your scenario doesn’t apply.

2025-07-13 02:46:36 UTC

- reply

Yeah, I always thought what folks meant by list was what you could piece together with other information but apparently lots of folks didn’t mean this because Trump has been on the flight logs which have been known for years. So I think folks meant an actual client list.

The other possibility congruent with my theory that he liked himself is that the government is staffed by a bunch of people who are pretty shit at their jobs and it was just incompetence. Which, btw, is the baseline belief of most Bitcoiners most of the time. So I’m not sure why this group should immediately jump to a conspiracy theory. I mean, either the gov’t is controlled by competent evils mustache twirling masters of the universe or complete incompetent fools. But both can’t be true. Or, hear me out, the truth is some messy combination of competent good actors, incompetent good actors, competent bad actors, and incompetent bad actors.

I strongly believe Epstein did kill himself. But I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the guards were paid (or otherwise incentivized) to disappear so could do it. Because he *was* on suicide watch.

I unequivocally applaud Twenty One’s proof of reserves. With that being said, I think the transaction hasn’t closed and the bitcoin per share price listed on their website is no accurate if you care about the bitcoin per share after the transaction is complete.
*Please* correct me if I’m wrong @nprofile…azm2.
I mean that! I’m a huge proponent of what we are now calling “Bitcoin Treasury Companies”. I bought my first sheet of $MSTR in September of 2020.
And I’ve considered buying some $CEP. But I still think the mNAV is too high. So if the I’m calculating it wrong, I want to know.

It’s more than narrative though.
It’s a natural outcome of a system that includes lots of passive flows including index funds & algorithmic trading, volatility traders, & funds with mandates that prevent them from buying spot BTC or even MSTR stock.
Ultimately, BTC should be the very catalyst to unwind these stupid anti-free and sane market issues. But until they do, it should continue.
Then the very end state of MSTR is probably still worth more than the underlying BTC but some smaller mNAV like 1.1-1.3x. Why would it still be worth more than the underlying BTC? Because when you’re the largest public holder of BTC on a bitcoin standard, you’re going to be able to have opportunities to deploy it profitably *in BTC* terms.
(Btw, AI is not real thinking. It will just spit out what you want or some combination of whatever information it has processed.)

I think the odds are quite high that DOGE is going to *cost* US Taxpayers money.
When the admin has to face hundreds of lawsuits that it has to defend, that costs us money. When the admin loses some of those employment law cases (& those aren’t the only lawsuits they are facing), it will end up paying back pay for a bunch of people who didn’t do any work, costing us money & some of those people are going to be employed already but still receive the pay anyways.
If the attorneys filing these lawsuits seek attorney’s fees and get awarded them, that’s even more money.
All of the money needed for all of this will of course be printed out of thin air.

Yes, but you usually don’t have bitcoin at the other end. And managing Bitcoin’s volatility/the transition to the a bitcoin standard is probably the hardest thing we’re going to encounter on the way. This does it for you.
I actually think if you’re rich enough this isn’t a good product for you. Just stack bitcoin/MSTR because the volatility isn’t a real issue for you. You can easily live off sats even in a Bitcoin bear market.

2025-02-06 18:37:07 UTC

STRK may be the greatest vehicle I’ve ever seen for normies to easily manage the transition from our fiat system to a world on a bitcoin standard, *especially* if they are retired.
Hell it could help me.
Imagine someone handed me $1.5M today and that was all the assets I had. I could buy STRK for $85.25 netting me 17,595 shares. But let’s call it 17,590 as you want to buy it in buckets of 10 because of the convert. That means I’m generating $140,720 pre-tax & $126,623 post tax.
You could retire on that if you wanted. And if you’re smart, you’re spending less than you make and putting the excess into BTC or more STRK or something.
As you head into the future though, we get closer and closer to being on a bitcoin standard. By that point it should be easy to convert.
If you converted it all, it would be 1,759 shares of MSTR common stock. The *current* amount of Bitcoin that represents is 2.87482. It will obviously be more than that when you convert.
What other vehicle exists like this? It’s insane.

I will be honest, in many ways, I agree with the liberals on Bluesky.
But also, this is hilarious:

As far as China having it, there was the OPM database breach awhile back. But that would *not* be up to date.

Give me a break. This would easily violate my company’s rules on data security and I don’t work for the government.

Honestly, my guess is this becomes normalized. If Trump wasn’t successfully convicted in the Senate for January 6th, this stuff won’t do it.
(I know we use impeached as shorthand for impeached in the House and convicted and removed from office in the Senate but technically impeachment is just what would be the indictment phase in a criminal trial and that’s just what happens in the House.
So Trump has been impeached twice. But never removed from office (and also barred from serving in office again).)

@npub1qny…95gx was right. Musk just wants your information. Now he’ll take it directly from the federal government. Just wait until he does this shit at the IRS.
