I remember a guy that was excited to zap across the planet. Now this same guy is going to hoard bitcoin as the CEO of a company with investors which don’t like to focus on zapping freedom money freely for everyone. And would love to do something with fractional reserves. This has always been the main thing, when you are using a full kyced node for bitcoin or lightning you are using permissioned money. The taxman loves this because it can easily be taxed when you use kyced platforms. When the majority of people is using these type of platforms, the insight of these critical nodes is rather complete. Therefore bitcoin use / hodling can then easily be taxed. If we don’t outbuild and outuse bitcoin as it is supposed to be, we’ll soon be joining a gold 2.0 movement with full regulatory capture. Not your keys not your coins Not your hash not your cash Not your node not your transaction code Be a honeybadger or we’ll lose our freedom ledger

Bought bitcoin at a train station in Switzerland…

For the people who have not read the voorjaarsnota. The wealth tax is increased to 3%. If you’re saving you’ll lose 60% of your wealth in 30 years. This 2nd increase in a row was legitimized because the new unrealized capital gains tax (called “ law realized capital gains tax”) was postponed to 2028. From 2028 holding bitcoin (of which tax authorities know) in the Netherlands will not make any sense anymore. https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/910f6f86-c426-4f7a-8edf-b5771f9179c4/file

GM, yesterday evening my aunt, my moms sister 73 years old called me. She wanted more bitcoin. I once paid the meat she got for us in bitcoin a couple of years ago. She tracked the price in her muunwallet for the past years. But she was always skeptical and critical of my “extreme believe” as she named it. Her reaching out to buy bitcoin for her grandchildren feels like a major achievement for me. This year I’ve seen more and more “old” people become very skeptical about the euro and the future of their euro in the banks in general. If bitcoin also becomes boomer tech we are up for a major inflow. The current mainstream news, constant war pondering and European war bonds apparently help shift their minds towards this alternative. When looking at books sales we still see a constant daily sales of the Dutch translation of the bitcoin standard. Very clearly people are investigating at much larger scale than 2 years ago. I don’t know about you, but once you dive in, you don’t run back.
