Don't ever get lasik. I know a guy, 40ish, got it done. He says he can see fine, but it's different. He gets headaches sometimes, and he suspects it's from the LASIK. He says it's hard to describe, but he sees differently than before. Mind you, his surgery was successful. But he told me he wouldn't do it again. As he said, takes 5 seconds every morning to put in contacts. Or just wear glasses. He told me he's talked to quite a few ppl with similar issues. Also my wife's ex bf got it and he's going was blind from it. Don't get lasik.

@Marty Bent most recent @TFTC podcast #603 with Dr Mary Bowden. 99% of doctors are employees 77% employed by hospitals (my note, increasingly behemouth monopolies nationwide) 20% by employed by insurance companies or private equity firms 2% employes by government That leaves 1% independent and "3rd party free" (not contracted w insurance co hospitals or government)

I know someone who works for Robin Hood. When I mentioned there are companies that will help securely store your Bitcoin for an annual fee... "Well that doesn't really make any sense, it doesn't cost anything to keep Bitcoin" This is an employee who makes good money at Robinhood. We're so early

Currently single sig air gapped. Currently nervous about single sig failure via theft or loss. But nervous about multi sig. Nervous about using unchained as multisig, in that I don't like them having my xpub. Want to do self multisig via Sparrow, but nervous about keeping my own xpub (all corresponding multisig wallet configuration info) and losing it, even if I store the file with each of the private keys. Multisig just seems a bit more complex, another layer of understanding. thoughts? #coldcard #multisig #coldstorage

how do you spend your BTC? I mean, luckily at this point I haven't had to. but if I did, seems like annoying tax consequences I'd have to deal with. obv I will deal w taxes if necessary, but it makes me slightly apprehensive when buying btc

I tried to runs Bitcoin node. I suppose the failure was purchasing a HDD instead of an SSD. it was so slow downloading. then somehow I bricked the drive. idk I gave up. should I go drop $150 and get that SSD and get back on the horse? I should say, I've installed Ubuntu Linux on old computers, flashed custom roms back in the day to android phones, so I'm not a complete tech noob.
