I’ve been all in thanks to the @nprofile…e9k5 bill pay and it has been working out great. I no longer have to worry about keeping fiat for bills and can have it all in bitcoin.
If there are taxes, then that means I came out ahead. However, removing taxes on bitcoin would be incredible and it will happen at some point in the future.

It does seem that each cycle has its bitcoin related financial instrument. Hopefully the introduction of loans doesn’t signal the peak of the bull market! Although in a way it would be nice because it would let me stack more than if it reaches new highs!

It is guaranteed lost if I go with the traditional bank and need to sell it. In fact, the back laughed at me when I showed them a screenshot of some of my bitcoin when they needed to verify funds. I said that this was it. And they said that they can’t count it until it is in a bank account as dollars.
Going with a bitcoin backed mortgage would at least keep the bitcoin as bitcoin.
The idea being that as bitcoin goes up substantially in value you could decide at that point to sell off a smaller portion to pay off the mortgage or keep paying the interest rates that should continue to go down as the collateral value increases over time. Kind of like an adjustable rate mortgage but where interest rates drop as the collateral value increases.
At least that’s my understanding.
I’m only willing to play the fiat game because that is the game we’ve been handed. I might as well use their corrupt system to my advantage since it is their system that caused the cost of home construction to go up so much in the first place.

I’ve stopped contributing to 529s and am instead putting it into bitcoin. It should turn out to be a better investment from the fiat mindset even after accounting for taxes

I’m excited to see what mortgage products People’s Reserve (https://www.peoplesreserve.com) offers. Supposedly rates here will be closer to what banks offer since it is a mortgage product but then you can add more bitcoin collateral to reduce interest rate too

Maybe there was a temporary issue with their node. I have tried my own node with exact amount of sats, a getalby lightning url, as well as two different custodial lightning wallets, Coinos and Strike. All failed.

Just installed it. Available on Community Registry. Super easy to install and use (only tried it on LAN). However, it is a very old version. 5.1.0, which was released in Sept 2022. Packaged for Start9 in Dec 2022.
No further updates for Start9 since then. Most recent cryptpad released on Dec 17, 2024. Hopefully someone will take up the reins and update the Start9 package.

Looks pretty cool! There is a start9 version you can sideload, although I’m not sure how up-to-date it is. I’ll have to install it and report back.

A couple years ago I was doing both but then the bitcoin outperformed and will continue to outperform the 529 so much that it doesn’t make sense to fund it any longer.
I might consider doing a bitcoin ETF if that was an option in it, but my 529 was with Vanguard. They are very anti-bitcoin.

Thanks! We have some cousin’s kids that are using Classical Conversations and I didn’t really like (or maybe understand) the amount of just rote memorization! However, I talked to another family who said that when they traveled to Boston to learn about Revolutionary War, it was amazing to see the memorization work as the kids started connecting everything that they had memorized. He said it was really cool to see.
So if we go that route, we’d probably do the memorization but also try to incorporate it into life experiences early on too.
We are going to a convention on homeschooling in May to hopefully learn more about all of this

2025-02-20 19:01:18

#homeschoolers of Nostr, any tips for getting started? Favorite curriculum? I am not opposed to mixing and matching. Use one for literature/history and another for math/science.
While I am not a super big fan of screens being how the teaching is done, are there any really good AI programs out there that you like?

You can feel better spending it rather than saving it because the fiat currency is doing down in value the longer you hold on to it.
Also, if in a form of physical cash, you can burn them for heat. Unlike bitcoin mining heaters where the generation of heat is actually getting you bitcoin.

If you just do Lightning, this might be really easy to do with LNDhub. I have a albyhub running that my church has a subaccount on. They connect to it via btcpay server and LNDhub through getalby. I’d be interested if Coinos has a similar connection that @npub155m…dcvg could tap into it.
I found this setup easier for them than having them manage their own Lightning node. Though I do have that set up for them too.
