UK Government is insanely complex.
This is a great app: you can search for any department and see the number of staff, budget and all the other add-on and linked departments and groups they all have.

The more transparency and accountability people can bring to government, the more chance there might be of rationalizing and reducing it.

New York City is a great example of the system starting to eat itself.
from @TukiFromKL on X:
NYC spent $81,705 per homeless person last year.. the median American household earned $81,228.. the government spent MORE to keep someone homeless than most families earned to keep themselves housed.
that $81,705 isn't going to the homeless person.. it's going to the system around them.. shelters, administrators, case managers, contracts, overhead.. the industry that manages homelessness..
if NYC gave every homeless person that money directly.. they could afford nearly 2 years of rent.. most of them wouldn't be homeless anymore.
instead the money goes to the system.. the system keeps running.. the homelessness stays.. and every year they ask for more funding to manage the problem that the funding was supposed to solve..
the homeless are worth $81,705 a year to the system..
they're worth nothing to it solved.

"If you tax the rich they will leave."
"Fine we will just repossess all their stuff when they do."
---
This perfectly captures the parasite's delusion: that wealth is static loot to be seized and redistributed.
Here's what actually happens when you "repossess all their stuff":
The producers will rebuild. They'll create new wealth because that's what they do. They identify opportunities, solve problems, innovate, build businesses, and generate value. Their wealth came from their minds, not magic.
The looters will consume what they stole at light speed and wind up with nothing. Because they never learned to produce. They only know how to take.
Look at every socialist revolution in history: seize the factories, the farms, the businesses. Within years, everything collapses. The factories stop producing. The farms stop yielding. The wealth evaporates. Venezuela. Cuba. Soviet Union. Zimbabwe. The pattern is identical.
Why? Because wealth isn't stuff sitting in a vault. Wealth is the ongoing process of human intelligence applied to production. Confiscate a factory and you get the building. You don't get the knowledge, vision, and competence that made it productive.
The "rich" you want to loot aren't dragons hoarding gold. They're producers creating value. Rob them and you rob everyone, including yourself.
You'll be left with ruins and still blame capitalism.

Buying Property With the Proceeds of Bitcoin in UK, 2026
(useful info copied from https://x.com/getbitcoin108/status/2028549887516963290)
Having just been through the torturous ordeal of buying a house with the proceeds of bitcoin, I thought it might be useful to others to know what is involved.
1. Currently it is possible to buy property with bitcoin directly, but it is very unlikely the vendor would accept it. Bitcoin is not widely liked or understood in Britain and whilst there have been some direct house sales for bitcoin, they are very rare and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is still payable - because paying someone for a house is counted as a disposal.
2. In addition, it is very unlikely a conveyancing solicitor would allow this transaction as most are not equipped to handle digital asset transactions. Which means you’ll have to sell your bitcoin - not necessarily a comfortable or easy thing. The more years you’ve been hodling the harder it is to exchange your pristine digital capital for filthy, lightweight fiat!
3. It also means you’ll incur a hefty CGT bill - handing many thousands over to the very fiat powers oppressing us with their financial and governmental incompetence. Uncomfortable but necessary: as a City trader used to say to me “Just pay your tax. You’ll sleep at night.” This is particularly true given HMRC’s new AI capabilities. Hyped or not, it isn’t worth testing them.
4. Once you have the fiat in your bank account, you then face the daunting process of solicitor's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. You’ll need proof of the original source of funds you used to buy bitcoin (inheritance, gift, income etc), exchange statements showing the purchases and the sales, bank statements showing the funds in your account, the funds leaving your account, and the proceeds of the bitcoin sale back in your account. They need a full audit trail to satisfy their Proof of Wealth (PoW) and Proof of Funds (PoF) checks.
5. These checks are no joke. They stem from the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 - https://lawsociety.org.uk/topics/anti-money-laundering/anti-money-laundering-guidance - which place weighty obligations on law firms handling money. In particular, cash purchases of houses are viewed as ‘high risk of money laundering’ so attract enhanced due diligence measures. Solicitors have gone to prison for not tracing the source of even quite trivial sums. Similarly, criminals are targeting solicitors like never before - both for stealing funds through cyberattacks and for laundering money. The regulations are not without genuine cause.
6. Your choice of solicitors will determine whether you are put through potentially weeks of stress as they scrutinise every part of your financial and bitcoin life. Provincial solicitors are likely to say ‘cryptocurrency is high risk and we don’t do high risk’ and either turn you down flat at the beginning (if you are lucky) or put you through a long, drawn out process that could mean you lose the house you are intending to purchase, and lose your will to live with it.
7. There are some national conveyancing firms that are much happier to process bitcoin related house purchases. Thomas Legal https://thomaslegal.co.uk are one such. In our case, they completed their AML checks in one business day. And they were exceptionally friendly and efficient with it. A stark contrast to our first (local) solicitor who took 8 weeks to say that he wasn’t completely satisfied and 'further checks were going to be required’.
8. It certainly felt like the resistance of the fiat system to bitcoin was exemplified by his suspicious attitude. If you work with a firm like this, you’ll find yourself feeling like a criminal - guilty until proven innocent. Very uncomfortable. As is having your entire financial and bitcoin history exposed. Be prepared to reveal all if you want that dream house.
9. An essential component of clearing the AML check quickly was having a Hoptrail Proof of Wealth Report prepared in advance. http://hoptrail.io. This specialist auditing company look at the blockchain and exchange statements, rather than fiat accounts, and ensure your coins are not connected to known criminal wallets, mixers or from ‘dubious' sources such as Silk Road. There are stories of bitcoiners with 8 figure portfolios, not a satoshi of which could be used for house purchases because the coins were tainted - from the fiat system point of view at any rate. Most solicitors do not have these skills in-house so having a Hoptrail report is essential.
10. Because of a combination of the Hoptrail report and extended due diligence at solicitors, don’t expect much change from £10,000 for your conveyancing fees. Add in CGT and you’ll need to sell more bitcoin than you might be comfortable doing to cover all the costs. Note that there has been no requirement to have paid CGT before our funds were approved - contrary to some advice out there.
11. Some might ask ‘why put yourself through this?’. Well, in our case, after hodling for 12 years, it felt like it was time to see some real-world benefits. We’re not young and we want to live somewhere decent for our retirement. Feeling wealthy is no substitute for living in a house that better suits your needs.
12. Britain is still very much in the Dark Ages when it comes to bitcoin adoption and understanding. The vast majority of banks, solicitors, out there are simply follow what the @FCA, @FT, @BBC say about #Bitcoin, but at least some are more enlightened and will help, rather than hinder, your purchase.

- transcribes with accuracy, and privacy (it does this with a local AI model that you can download to your phone so no data gets uploaded to the cloud for the transcription)
- keeps a searchable catalog of notes
- allows export of text files as .txt or .pdf

People think the government takes 15-60% of their wealth, depending on where they live. That's because they only consider direct taxation.
But if you include inflation and the loss of investment capital (+ associated compound interest), it's closer to 90-99% over your lifetime.

Capital Gains Tax is not "tax on unearned income" as the propaganda tells us.
There are no gains on shares and property when measured in real money (gold or bitcoin).
CGT is just an ongoing theft of your savings through debasement of the fiat money they are measured in.

Many people (especially in the UK) put all their money into property.
"My property is my pension" they say, and some even invest in buy-to-lets.
But property is a sitting duck for governments needing to raise funds. You can't move the property and they know you own it. All they need to do is run the money printer, inflate the money supply and your house goes "up in value" (when the reality is that it was just their currency getting less valuable).
Because your home is "up in value" you owe Capital Gains Tax. The UK is just discussing a "National Tax" which is exactly this - a tax when you sell your own home - on capital gains conjured out of thin air.

If you Dollar Cost Average into an asset that goes up over the longer timeframe, your returns are *increased* the more volatile the price action is. The volatility puts more bitcoin into your strong hands at lower prices as the speculators are shaken out.
Crazy price action is the Universe smiling on HODLers. Be happy!

Family member is on holiday with some of his uni friends.
Turns out an Economics degree curriculum at a UK Russell Group university doesn't even mention the world's second largest asset class that underlies the whole financial system. 🤣

Make it your goal to NEVER run any Meta apps on your phone.
I have had this rule for several years now.
It's sometimes a pain being unable to be in (e.g. sports/social) groups run by WhatsApp normies, but the advantages easily outweigh the disadvantages. It's such a joy not seeing the relentless virtue signalling and group replies.
Another huge silver lining: by refusing to use WA, you can bring many more family and friends to Signal.

https://grapheneos.org/ is an awesome project.
So easy to install and gives you full Android functionality in a private and secure way.
It might be a silver lining if we end up not having to use Google phones. And a dark world if Graphene is not supported on any hardware.

Assuming you want open source for your private notes, then NotesNook and StandardNotes (premium SN is not open) are great options. Personally I prefer SN.
If you already use vim/nvim, then continue using and sync with SyncThing which works perfectly. Only downside is for phone you have to use a different text editor such as Markor.
Obsidian is very slick, high functionality and seamless, BUT it is not open source, so I wouldn't want my private notes in there.

Bitcoin is going up in value against major assets and has overtaken Google and Amazon. But most people ignore something even better:
When a company goes up in value, a shareholder has some of that value diluted away via share issuances and employee stock options.
Bitcoin is the opposite. If you own bitcoin, your share of the value pie slowly increases over time as coins get lost, and some people burn coins.

The first job of government is protection and security.
The UK government is utterly failing, and our journalists are too scared (or politically correct) to report on this and force discussion. Something needs to change.

Mullvad, comes fully preconfigured so you don't end up fingerprinting yourself by adding privacy extensions like uBlock. They are already built in.

Not many greater pleasures than buying incredible venison direct from the game keeper with bitcoin (apart from eating it, obviously) https://image.nostr.build/e4761a805d752e9bd51518ee428639bc233dc858272da8caf4de511160ecb257.jpg

Bitcoin is the only global free market.
This chart shows what happens when you let markets free.
The majority are still asleep, preferring 'stable' markets provided via government manipulation of interest rates, money supply and accounting.

Recently there are virtually no CoinJoin transactions shown by Mempool Goggles on https://mempool.space
Anyone want to venture a theory as to why this might be?
Are bitcoin privacy tools failing in terms of usage growth, or are people using other methods like Lightning/Liquid to improve chain obfuscation...
