Been a horrible 48 hours and no one close to me even lost anything. For those that think it’s awesome, or chiming in with their, “I knew better because hindsight”, I will pray for you. In the interim, here is a picture of a delicious steak I took out of the freezer before this whole fiasco. #foodstr

Yeah. I probably should have looked at that option. The amount was high and I needed it ASAP. What can you get as a max P2P, and how quickly can you get the cash?

Me too. Frankly, it was Godsend. We had 3 days to come up with the cash and they had it in my bank account in 24 hours. Very impressive.

2026-07-27 19:29:17 UTC

I had a cash emergency pop up when the buyer of our condo couldn’t get a clear to close from some third rate mortgage company he decided to use. At the same time, we had a contract on a new home that we were purchasing that was supposed to close after that sale, but now we were in a position where we could either close on the new home without the cash from our condo sale, or lose the home back to the market. We decided to close on the home, but it required borrowing cash against our Bitcoin for 3 weeks, or selling our Bitcoin. We decided on a very low LTV and borrowed via @npub1ex7…vyt9 . I will admit, that I didn’t love the scenario, but the ease of the process and the team at Strike were incredible throughout. They even let us close our loan early when the condo sale finally happened. I can’t say enough good things about the Strike loan product. Sadly, sometimes Fiat gets in the way of life. Thanks to @npub1cn4…3vle and team for building a tool to bridge the two worlds.
This is not an endorsement of borrowing against your #bitcoin . Frankly, I recommend against it. However, it was the best option for us at the time, and props where props are due for the incredible product and service offered.

A guy who wiped his phone at an airport was detained, and law enforcement putatively had the right to go through his phone because of a made up kiddie porn allegation. Meanwhile the entire Epstein class was endlessly involved in underage sex stuff and not one ounce of energy is being expended on any of them. This system is NGMI. No one under 60 believes any of the charade.

Part of the obesity problem is that everyone dresses like a slob and wears expandable clothing. Back when men had to fit in their suits and women into their dresses, becoming a fat slob was way more expensive and way more noticeable.

And prosecuting no one involved with Epstein, and pretending COVID wasn’t a crime against humanity, and pretending foreign aid is a good idea, and surveilling us everywhere we go, and racking up unpayable debt, etc. The list is endless. The stooges called politicians have no say in anything. And neither do we.

I agree with this too. I just keep coming back to fiat being so corrupt and evil that every market is an aberration of what it should be. Money is amoral, markets are amoral, but you have a signal of immorality coming through because of how evil fiat is.
I just recorded with @npub1vwy…zugd and he likened fiat to a vector of a virus. The virus itself is just an amoral thing, but vectors transmitting it to other people cause harm. That’s where I am landing on this. Markets are amoral, but are currently transmitting corrupted signals because of the corrupt vector currently underlying their communication of information.

I agree with that. I was referring more to fiat markets where immoral behavior and known impossible deliverance scenarios can be undertaken because of the ability to create more units of currency. You brought up the point of the bitcoin market only existing because of the current measuring stick being fiat dollars right now and that there isn’t actually a market inherent to the protocol. That’s an important point that we also briefly touched on in our discussion

2026-07-15 13:55:57 UTC

- reply

I agree with that and why it’s I’ve always hated the framing by one side of it as a moral issue. I need to think more about immoral actors participating in markets and what that means though.

2026-07-15 00:52:53 UTC

- reply

So if there is only a small amount of immoral actors not dominating the market, but having some affect, or maybe even a decent sized affect, what do we say then?

Of course! Really enjoyed the convo.

2026-07-14 22:52:01 UTC

- reply

So only the actors are doing immoral things. The market itself isn’t immoral. I understand that thinking, and agree, but what happens when those immoral acts influence markets? The market remains logically amoral but is producing an immoral outcome?

@npub12em…y99g and @npub1emd…c9aw Are markets where you can place bets that are truly undeliverable (you don’t have the asset taking a futures contract that specifies delivery, or naked shorting), immoral? Do we call this fraud? Assumed risk by the participants? How do we define these kinds of scenarios? Because they do affect the price of assets.
