Sometime I wonder if they are simply attempt to protect what makes them wealthy, Bitcoin is clearly a threat in many ways to the establishment. Buffett, munger, Jamie Dimon, european central bank... all of them express naive judgement on Bitcoin that look to me as an attempt to preserve their mental model structure and source of power. Aside from bitcoin I'm testing the governance of Aave and VITAdao and frankly, paraphrasing Balaji "a new Leviathan is coming"

I greatly admire Charlie and have learned much from him, but I may still consider his criticisms of cryptocurrencies to be beyond his area of expertise. It's a shame, bitcoin is the greatest multidisciplinary effort I ever faced.

Yesterday added to BTC and added and staked to ETH

Are these the most wealthy and influential ppl in the US?

In the meantime I hold many more BTC but still interesting

I totally agree on this point and I'm scared too. I thought many hours on btc and this is one of the few point I didnt find a satisfactory answer too. It's a risk but I think is something solvable during the acquisition journey and the precis path is somewhat uncertain. I saw many improvements in self custody pratices and devices, the beast is adapting and evolving. Alyn Alden pieces are great and the quality of your question and sources you purpose give me some hope for an improvment in the discussion quality.

No, few of them, enough to ruin the dicussion imo. It is a complex argument tho.

There was too much noise since the beginning. My opinion is that a qualitative discussion is based on the willingness of the parts involved to brings themeselves to the same cultural level and, only after, debate on a specific topic. It's a shame because a debate is a valuable way to spot reasoning failures. The first thing to do here is understand the difference between a centralized entity and a decentralized protocol.

I'm just here to say that I recently spent 3 months in the US and this was one of the best experiences.

The depreciation machine starts running faster after the GFC, exactly when BTC was born.

Few Gwei Ethereum and staked at 4% APY

Added to Bitcoin

Added COIN, small long term position

Most of people has the same attitude towards stock investing, it's simple because humans are greedy, this doesnt imply a lack of ingenuity and wealth creation overtime. You are going to see, what you are focus on. For that reason investing in my opinion is intellectually risky, too much focus on price charts and too little about what is behind it.

I start a journal where I meditate on Bitcoin and its evolution, I find it intellectually more exciting than obvlius bet like BABA, FB or BRK which are my main position in my portfolio. However my BTC position is also growing over time. https://dscompounding.com/2022/12/16/bitcoin-diary/

I buy regularly trying to balance my portfolio. I don't pay much attention to the news but yeah, good news and thank you for sharing!

Every asset is empowered by a narrative, in other words myths. BTC narrative, because of the instrinsic property of the tool, it looks stronger and it is growing faster than many other, like the US Dollar. It's a trend not a point in time, I will never convert all my money in BTC because I see a trend not the future, this trend is a network which looks anti fragile and growing. The narrative of the swiss franc is neutrality, bank system, social stability. I'm swiss and what I see is side with team america, loss of bank secrecy and competitiveness, money laundering. BTC is my opinion is a promising network growing network backed by a strong myth, maybe the stronger.

Waiting for an AR interface coupled with an artificial influencer who knows you better than yourself, who takes the feminine shape your like the most, the voice you like the most, the word you like the most and its marginal cost is 0. That's because he/she/it analyzes your heartbeat and the micro movement of your eyes. https://instagram.com/lilmiquela?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Indeed, they don't need a PT anymore. Yeah, it will take time, because those "professional figure" will fight to preserve their undeserved pay check, but still, their extinction is unavoidable.

added to META added few COIN which is a small position

A money laundering mechanism, for istance?

Ppl can't get the difference between a centralized company which defraud tons of people in order to finance dem and decentralised protocols which are tools. Time to buy BTC.
