The NY Times spent a decade telling you Bitcoin was worthless, backed by nothing, a Ponzi scheme. It’s now the 5th most valuable asset on planet Earth.
Do you still subscribe to their periodical?

Just under a year and a half ago, at 25k/bitcoin, the Santa Monica Firefighters front ran BlackRock, the 47th President of the United States, and Wall Street to become the 1st union in the U.S. 🇺🇸 to place Bitcoin in self-custody on the balance sheet…

With a very conservative allocation, our union has achieved a reserve fund yield in 4 months, what prior vehicles achieved over 15 years.
How? #Bitcoin
And sure, while it’s temporary, the bold step is impactful and for the long haul.
𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: the Santa Monica Firefighters Union has taken a deeper step into #Bitcoin, and are collectively, whole coiners! Yes you heard that right, SMFFs are now whole coiners, holding a #Bitcoin on the balance sheet

I think @SenLummis hit the nail on the head here in pointing out that energy efficiency standards should not be used offensively as a weapon to target specific uses of energy.
Otherwise a government can set unachievable efficiency standards as a roundabout way of prohibiting activities which are not prohibited by law.

Really enjoyed my conversation with Dom @beiwatch about pension funds, unions and workers embracing #Bitcoin.
Dom has been a firefighter for 15 years, and helped the Santa Monica Firefighters Union become the first in the nation to hold Bitcoin in self-custody. He's also the founder of @workforcebtc.
I didn't realize I met Dom several years ago while working as a reporter in LA and we reconnected through the Bitcoin space. If you haven't heard from him yet, you'll really enjoy this talk. Let's lift up more new voices in this space!

Energy can be directed anywhere. Right now, if you are directing any at the Los Angeles/CA fires, please direct your energy to:
1. Support or amplify efforts in human aid
2. Be a signal repeater for verified information, for those here depending on it
Grifters, conspiracy theorists, political opportunists, newfound “fire experts”, please stop tagging #fires and flooding @x with unverified garbage, while people’s lives depend upon solid intel.
The cost of free speech is responsibility, so let’s continue to make @x a platform of reliable information

To my holdouts: If someone told you 30,000 dollars was a good amount to have saved up, would you then not save because you couldn’t save $30,000 all at once ?
Why then do you not opt into #BTC because one of them is valued at 30,000 dollars? The value of #BTC is not captured when measured in dollars. It’s not a company or an equity. It is the future of money and opting into the future is always a long term success.
