I'm not arguing that they shouldn't spend, they can do what they like its their currency to use, and they're not going to stop inflation ever, I'm just asking how they plan to get the Bitcoin?
One would be to go compete with the market and mine and secure the network, but why do that its hard, its complex, confiscation and taxation would be a lot easier
Buying up with inflation is a possibility, but there's so many programs that will want their piece first I doubt that the 35k toilets still don't happen even with an SBR, I think if they do do it via inflation its just a tacked on expense to everyone using fiat

2024-11-07 05:03:50

Okay so where do the coins come from? Confiscation, taxation and inflation?
Having the government pump your bags won't come without a cost, just like having the government do anything!

As someone who works in marketing I find podcasting is one of the worst ROI mediums to advertise on for most brands, usually they just form a part of budget dumping along with influencer to show the board/management you diversified the marketing spend across multiple channels
While there are some niche pods/micro influencers that can generate a ROI that is competitive versus other channels, takes a long time to find them and there is diminishing returns so repeat campaigns are unlikely to yield better results than the one time flash in the pan
The larger the audience the more you paying for unqualified leads, people who will never take action, who are just chronic listeners and will likely never convert

Indeed, doesn't make much sense since they can print their own currency the Bhutanese Ngultrum, why would you need to sell the Bitcoin?
But then I checked their public debt averaged 127% of GDP in the decade to 2022 in Bhutan, so not much room to go, I don't see a problem with them dumping to prop up their fiat, just means governments have less Bitcoin and people get more, distribute the coins!!

Indeed that's what's concerning, if you do push this through and it does generate revenue and people don't move in mass other countries might be inclined to follow, even if its a smaller base of people, it might also discourage ownership of the asset and keep people in the fiat system to rob them through inflation

Doubt it, they're too busy building their own local stablecoin forex system using blockchain, bleh, news has also gone quiet on their gold backed notes they wanted to launch too
So if controlled methods like that are having so many issues, something like Bitcoin isn't likley to pass, but at least citizens can stack and not tie themselves to the failure of those fiat currencies

Indeed you have no idea how the issuance will be while you're sitting through your vesting period, there could be stock splits or buy backs etc
It also depends on the capital market you trading in, if you're on the zimbabwean stock market lol would you want the vested shares? Nah you'd say give me the BTC

2024-10-23 11:20:54

I had drinks with a friend over the weekend and she was telling me how she's keen to move jobs, but her vesting period is coming to an end this year and she can access the stock compensation from the publicly listed company she works for, but it's only grown 8.6% over the 3 years since
But it got me thinking what if companies who wanted to retain talent put BTC into a timelock, you can see it on chain, you can verify its there and when you reach it you sign the multi-sig to get the funds
Thoughts?
