“There is a global race for Bitcoin going on right now, you should be figuring out how to get as much Bitcoin on the balance sheet as possible.”
There can only be 21 million #Bitcoin. Michael Saylor has proposed the idea of paying a #Bitcoin dividend to $MSTR shareholders.!!!!!!

It wasn’t luck. It wasn’t being early!!!

If you had spent 10,000 hours since 1991 on the internet then you were / are an expert in what happens when something becomes digital. You saw all the domain names being born / netscape / napster / listservs, etc. etc. everything that became digital energy thrived and became the biggest biz in the U.S. then it was copied by all other foreign powers.
Bitcoin is American!!! it was born from the American creative energy that brought mankind into the best nation on earth.
Back in 2012 bitcoin was hardly known. There wasn’t anyone to ask about it, no youtube channel talking heads. To make it worse, Banks didn’t cooperate with it. Bankers wanted to kill it, and their Government representatives wanted to help them kill it. You never knew when it would be outlawed, become a criminal act. It you got involved you had grit, you had balls, you had a hope that this was going to make the world a better place and wanted to fight for that to become true. You had to be willing to risk it all including your years of time since there was absolutely no one who could vouch for this idea holding water. After all risking money, time, and jail is a lot to sacrifice for making the world a better place.
When the good folks who started the net (now dead or in their HIGH 90’s) it was only meant for the department of defense and academics. They didn’t plan for money or security – therefore the net launched without either.
Until those things were invented then experimented with – and successfully  implemented could this Bitcoin miracle even get started.
This is how the one and only true perfect digital money called bitcoin came to be, and nothing else matters. It is perfect. It has never been hacked. You might have found out about in 2009 but that doesn’t mean you knew what to do or how to handle anything or what you may or might not have had the opportunity to do, when you learned about it.
The only thing you have is the NOW. Fix the money Fix the World.

“I haven’t had a boss in 25 years.”–Jamie Dimon.
“I haven’t had a boss in 25 years and I’m not about ready to start,” Dimon said on Thursday in response to being told Trump was not inviting him to be treasury secretary.”
Yes, Dimon has a boss: the board of directors. And his board has a boss: the shareholders.
Everyone has a boss. Even the president of the US has a boss: the voters.
What a telling statement from Dimon.

1976 Democratic Party Platform:
“Inflation is a tax that erodes the income of our workers, distorts business investment decisions, and redistributes income in favor of the rich.”
Anti-lnflation Policies
The economic and social costs of inflation
have been enormous. Inflation is a tax that
erodes the income of our workers, distorts
business investment decisions, and
redistributes income in favor of the rich,
Americans on fixed incomes, such as the
elderly, are often pushed into poverty by
this cruel tax.
The Ford administration and its economic
advisors have been consistently wrong
about the sources and cures of the inflation
that has plagued our nation and our
people. Fighting inflation by curtailing
production and increasing unemployment
has done nothing to restrain it. With the
current high level of unemployment and
low level of capacity utilization, we can
increase production and employment
without rekindling inflation.
A comprehensive anti-inflation policy must
be established to assure relative price
stability. Such a program should emphasize
increased production and productivity and
should take other measures to enhance the
stability and flexibility of our economy.

See? There is good reasons to shoot yourself in the head.
In the 1980s, a man with severe OCD shot himself in the head in an attempt to commit suicide.
Instead of killing him, the bullet destroyed the part of his brain responsible for his OCD, and he went on to become a straight-A college student five years later.

@dfriedman33
Karoline Leavitt, named as Trump’s new press secretary, a few years ago was putting her name on whacky articles prepared for her by supporters of far right Chinese mogul Guo Wengui, since convicted of running a massive fraud scheme.

State Regulators Know Health Insurance Directories Are Full of Wrong Information. They’re Doing Little to Fix It. Health insurance experts said that, unless agencies can crack down and issue bigger fines, insurers will keep selling error-ridden plans.

Trump’s GOP overhaul is complete
The reaction of Republicans to his staffing moves reflects a party on bended knee.

Don Jr.’s new gig? An investment firm connected to Christian nationalists.
The president-elect’s son has accepted a job with an investment firm with deep connections to a more extreme faction of conservatism: the TheoBros.

Senior Director, Leadership Ethics, @leaderethics weighs in about Elon Musk’s role in DOGE: “There’s direct conflicts between his businesses and government’s interest, he’s now in a position to try and curry favor for those enterprises.”

Trump nominates total wack job RFK, Jr, as Secretrary of Health and
Human Services. He can’t wait to bring back the iron lungs for kids.

Florida’s crumbling home prices haven’t been this bad since 2011
Florida’s sun-soaked southwestern coast, known for its wealthy enclaves and retirement appeal, is grappling with the steepest home price drops in more than a decade.
From Sarasota’s luxury listings to Punta Gorda’s booming developments, property values have fallen at rates not seen since the post-recession days of 2011.

WARNING: Oklahoma 3rd Grade Reading Level

Oklahoma’s literacy levels have been described as “abysmal” by Martha Gregory, a researcher for the Tulsa City-County Library System. She equates the reading level of 12% of Oklahoma’s adult population, which is “below basic” in prose literacy, to a 3rd grade reading level or below.

Fighting for kids to get free Bibles is only the latest grift and while fighting against those same kids getting free lunch is exactly the kind of religious hypocrisy Christians are called to stand against. Let them eat Bibles.
$3 million for physical bibles when it’s for free on Kindle? Apple? Android? Students have district issued smart devices and are absolutely allowed to access the Bible.

Texas – Reading First Program owned by President Bush’s brother Neil Bush is a Fraud Scam

Ignite! whose original investors include Neil’s parents BARBARA BUSH AND PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH. “Neil Bush had raised about $23 million from more than a dozen outside investors, including Mohammed Al Saddah, the head of a Kuwaiti company, and Winston Wong, the head of a Chinese computer firm.”

GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS:
BUSH’S FAMILY PROFITS FROM ‘NO CHILD’ ACT
READING FIRST AND VOYAGER EXPANDED LEARNING
Reading Recovery has a proven successful track record that the Bush connections refused to fund so their own son’ Neil Bush’s business Reading First would not have competition. Neil was “the director of Silverado Banking, Savings and Loan when it crashed in 1988 at a cost of $1 billion to taxpayers.” In 1990, Bush paid a $50,000 fine and was banned from banking activities for his role in taking down Silverado, which actually cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. A Resolution Trust Corporation Suit against Bush and other officers of Silverado was settled in 1991 for $26.5 million. And the fine wasn’t exactly paid by Neil Bush. A Republican fundraiser set up a fund to help defer costs Neil incurred in his S&L dealings. Bush “quietly is heading a local start-up that’s raising at least $10 million in second-round funding.” According to the business newsweekly, Bush has already raised $7.1 million from 53 investors underwriting Ignite! Inc., an educational software company.

Prescott Bush, George W. Bush’s grandfather, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from and collaborated with key financial backers of Nazi Germany.

1/23/15 No Money Left Behind
The Bush bros have common ties to one particularly controversial educational entrepreneur. Starting in the late 1990s, Randy Best, whom I profiled at the end of George W. Bush’s second term, used his connections to the president to transform a virtually unknown for-profit education company, Voyager, into a “selling juggernaut” (in his words) that he unloaded in 2005 for $360 million. Randy Best, Steve Brodner,
The key to Voyager’s success was the way it it used revolving doors in Bush’s Education Department to game the procurement process. Its dealings prompted a scathing DOE inspector general’s report in 2006 and a harshly worded Senate report the following year. “Many programs, including Voyager, were probably adopted on the basis of relationships, rather than effectiveness data,” G. Reid Lyon, who co-wrote the No Child Left Behind Act and later consulted for Best, told me in 2008. “I thought all this money would be great; it would get into schools. But money makes barracudas out of people. It’s an amazing thing.”

Who wore it Better Hitler or Drumph?

At Trump’s North Carolina rally, over 4,000 people left after about 15 minutes. A reporter asked many why they were leaving. They all had the same answer: they were paid to attend, required to stay at least 10 minutes and take a photo of the start to prove they attended. Maga’s are loud but way fewer in number than we think. Trump’s going to lose in a landslide.
It happens every Trump rally now. Soon as the Venmo transaction hits their account, paid attendees get up and leave. While he is drooling on himself at the podium.

BOOM. “Trump Train” driver found liable under the Klu Klux Klan act (42 USC 1985(3)) for trying to run Biden/Harris supporters off the road.
It’s domestic terrorism.

Convicted Trump started a “modeling agency” where he would bring underage models to work illegally on travel visas, wouldn’t pay them, they contractually couldn’t work anywhere else, & this started right after he became bffs with Diddy?!?
Those who are confused about the timeline… Trump became bffs with Diddy roughly around 1997-98. He then opened his modeling agency in 1999. This was during his rise to fame with the rap industry, which he was at the center of the party scene : … Trump’s modeling agency told a model, who was trying to tell them she was being sexually assaulted by a photographer, that it was “commonplace behavior”…
After the meeting, Portillo expressed her trepidation to her agents at Trump Model Management — the modeling agency founded in 1999 by now-former-President Donald Trump — and told them that Richardson had worn only a robe, according to the lawsuit.
They waved away her distress, her suit alleges.
“Trump Model Management dismissed her concerns, telling her that such behavior was commonplace and that given Mr. Richardson’s prominence and influence in the industry, Ms. Portillo should overlook his behavior,” the lawsuit claims.

Invented by a pseudonymous programmer and overwhelmingly funded by grants from non-profit foundations, this decentralized, free, and open-source protocol has been quietly evolving for the past three years. Like bitcoin, Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption. It has 40,000 weekly active users and a growing ecosystem of clients and applications ranging from social media to long-form publishing to payments.
This was a major theme at the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum, which is put on annually by the Human Rights Foundation, where I serve as chief strategy officer. At this conference for democracy and human rights, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey told the audience that the problem was, actually, guys like him: The very fact that Twitter, now X, has a CEO makes it a single point of failure. Governments routinely pressured Dorsey to censor content; once the company’s offices in India were raided. Dorsey says that under the new Musk regime X complies with whatever governments want.
Nostr is only necessary because our existing internet is so broken.
