Gm nostriches, the day of meetings is now behind, I told my department they needed more integrity (let’s see how that turns out, is using AI worth selling your integrity for?!?!?*), so now my Thursday can begin, #coffeechain one complete, reply to “family finance” to offset my communism comment from yesterday done; debasement, bitcoin and deflation were all included, let’s see the response. Today, serious work, hopefully find some time to cut some trees down, time on the bike may have to wait for another week, 😫 *oh and the integrity element is in my new article with @Stackchain ⛓ Magazine !!!! With a reference to @M A D E X on what one should consider when offered a deal many couldn’t refuse. Respect sir! 🫡🙌

Gm nostriches, the day ahead is a sea of meetings , from 11 straight through until 4, maybe with a free lunch, but a presentation I have to give in one (will be going to touch rogue). Apologies for returning to the “pre-budget” speech of yesterday, but had a thought and just had to share it. Income tax increase, no bother, I work less, but what most can’t escape from is the incoming wave of inflation, so I that regards, all is good. Brits need #bitcoin so badly right now and they are currently clueless, gaslit by now linking “crypto mining” to Andrew and Fergie and a company that went bust, may well have been accurate but the timing stinks and reflects the British media’s negative slant, but then again they want everyone to stay within the prison of gbp and rampant inflation., #coffeechain

Ga nostriches, they never come out quite a short and succinct as I’d planned, but at least I’ve attempted to back things up where I can. Given we’ve moved into the budget danger zone of everything being the eternal Schroedinger’s cat (simultaneously on and out of the budget), thought it was worth putting some ideas out there. It isn’t about the wealth anymore, it is not knowing what could come next and there are people cheering for it and they haven’t considered the consequences. A country that Villainises the wealthy and breeches property rights isn’t a place you want to be.

But surely, we can just tax the billionaires!

it is an awful trap wrapped up in good intentions and not critical thinking

Cheers @npub1q35e...fg5m , so ms reeves is thinking of putting up a 20% barrier/hurdle for the wealthy and productive wanting to leave a country looking to take 50% plus of their earnings every year, and quash them with regulations and expensive energy for a measly £2bn a year………… When they’ve borrowed £66bn in the first 6 months of the year. Oh my, they’re putting this shit out there, but it is miles away from actually being able to solve anything, so hat tip @npub1a2cw...w83a, “nothing stops this train”, and while my house or my pension remain more than or equal to 20% of my assets, we’re all good, and I won’t be looking over my shoulder on the way out. They’re just assets tied up in the system, ballast to be jettisoned.

Gm nostriches, dark times in the uk at the moment, sure the government will be looking to put in place id and metal detector barriers in railway stations from now on. Never let a good emergency go to waste. Deep breath, #coffeechain no. 2 looking very likely.
