81  Other / Serious discussion / Crazy week. I lost a dear friend and I lost my job on: February 05, 2023, 03:31:34 AM
Its wild to think that so much can happen in one week. Someone that was near and dear to me passed form a fentanyl overdose, which is just so wild to me and i'm still in shock. Someone who I thought had their ish together too. On top of that I unfortunately was laid off from my job on Friday.

I have a very unexplainable peace in this time. I feel like most people might not feel the same way that I do about all of this. Of course I am crushed by the loss of my friend, Justin. The best way I can describe my relationship with him is also found in scripture in the bible, "Iron sharpens Iron" RIP Justin I know that he is with God in heaven now. He gave me more encouragement and spoke so much positivity into my life, more so than most of the people that i've known, and in such a short amount of time. May God be with his family and loved ones.

As far as my job, I knew it was coming so this did give me some time to prepare. As far as the future right now, it is very uncertain. What I will say though is that I do believe that it is a blessing in disguise. I really didn't love my job, I hated it actually. What tied me down was the money, of course. I have a family to provide for. But now I have applied for unemployment which will give me some time to figure out what I am going to do. Maybe start a business, or find a much better job with better pay. Certainly I will be selling some life insurance on the side, since I have my license to do so. I also have things that I can sell, so thats good. Its just a job. There a soooo many jobs out there, so I'm not worried about that.

Mostly I just want to do something meaningful, something that I love and care about. I'd love to do it with people that I also care about and can form deeper relationships with. That is what is most important in this life. Its not money, its not the job. Its about being happy and forming amazing relationships with people you care about. Hopefully, if you're lucky you can manage to kill two birds with one stone and find your dream job working alongside your best friends. I know its out there, and i'm searching for it.

Lots of emotions have been felt this week. Leaving a career of 7 years, and losing a dear friend all in the same week. It really puts things into perspective for you. Don't let your job define you because it can be replaced, also you're not promised tomorrow! Wild ride. But now is just the beginning of a new chapter, a new journey. And I am excited, I am ready, and I will be looking forward to whatever the future holds. Please wish me luck as I continue in my job search, and morn the loss of my friend.

Lets make every day count this year in 2023! Remember anything can change in an instant, and today you could take your last breath. So don't waste it. Thats all I have for now, but thank you in advance to anyone who read this. I welcome all thoughts and comments. Please be respectful. Thank you.

Cheers,

82  Economy / Gambling discussion / Can anyone tell me what is the best way to gamble w/ BTC on online casinos? on: February 05, 2023, 03:07:26 AM
Strictly for Bitcoin, is there a list of the best online gambling casinos and their corresponding pros/cons of using?

I am asking because I don't quite have all the experience in the world and the people in these threads seem to be the most savvy on this.

What have you found works best? What does not work? I guess I am looking for a sort of "cheat sheet" if you will. If that even exists.

Have a great night everyone.

83  Economy / Gambling discussion / What is your earliest Gambling Story? on: February 02, 2023, 10:33:24 PM
I'll tell you mine. I was 16 on a Royal Caribbean cruise with my parents. I took $10 from dads wallet and went out on the town  Wink I stopped into the casino on deck, worked that $10 in to a $20 in the coin machine. Then I went to the roulette table and doubled my money 3 times and got up to $160, then I bet it all on black and lost it all! Or wait, was it red? Oh I don't remember hahah. They did come around and bring me plenty of drinks. Luckily I looked old enough to be in there, was even 6 feet tall back then, athletic, football player. I made the cut. Fun times! Learned a very valuable lesson there though. This is why I don't gamble. What's a good gambling story that you'd like to share? Hit the comments section! Thanks guys.

Its all in the name really "Simple Machines" you see it every time you login. I know that this would never happen, but could you imagine if BTalk had an application on your phone? Now, would that throw a good wrench into the current ad rev or a bad one? Simply for the notifications and keeping track of responses to your comments/posts would be much easier IMO. Would it help the forum to grow? Or would it be a very useless add on to something that already works pretty dang good just in and of itself. Probably the latter, but I'd be interested to see/know more about what has been done to make any changes, what's been done but hasn't worked, what is currently being worked on from a developmental standpoint. Is anyone aware of any significant changes that may be taking place in the near future? Just curious. I'm going to guess what's not broken won't be fixed, but again, what is there to really fix?

87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Superbowl Bets Discussion- Eagles or Chiefs? on: January 31, 2023, 04:10:23 PM
Going to be a huge bowl game here, I heard Rihanna is doing the half time show (ooooooo aahhhhhhhhhh) thats always fun to watch. Also, the Kelce brothers are competing against eachother! Can you imagine being at the peak of your career headed to the superbowl and be playing against your Blood brother on the other team? What a wild game it shall be! You HAVE to bet something on this one!!!!!

Saw this article from the NY Times today: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/30/sports/football/super-bowl-odds-line.html

A short excerpt from that article that popped to me:

"To bet on the money line — a straightforward wager on who will win the game — Philadelphia backers must bet $130 to win $100, while Kansas City supporters bet $100 to win $110. This translates into Philadelphia being given a 54 percent chance of winning the game against Kansas City’s 46 percent chance.


Depending on where you look, the over-under on the game is around 49.5, so bookmakers are looking for more scoring than in the A.F.C. (43 points) or N.F.C. (38 points) championship games, or indeed more than in any of the divisional round games (which produced a combined 31, 37, 45 and 47 points).

If you are impatient, you can bet over-under for the first half (24) or even the first quarter (10).

What’s next for the betting line? While there might be a little more movement, the major action is probably over. “I doubt the line will flip again, but it could creep down,” DuBreuil said, perhaps settling at something closer to Philadelphia by 1 or 1.5 points. The biggest moves of any line, he said, happen early.

Unless there is disastrous news, that is. If, say, it were announced that Mahomes would miss the game, a 7-point swing would not be a surprise, DuBreuil said. In that case, the Eagles might enter the game as much as a 10-point favorite."

Hey guys!

So I am super pumped for B23 Miami! I know that there are a lot of other fun crypto themed events in the Florida area. I'm trying to figure out if there are any others that anyone else is aware of on the East/ West coast - even central FL as well. Is anyone aware of a similar post that has already done all the homework / another website that keeps track of all these events in any given region?

89  Bitcoin / Press / [2023-01-30] Arizona senator doubles down on crypto amid the winter of disconten on: January 30, 2023, 09:32:55 PM
You've got to hand it to State Senator of Wendy Rodgers, who introduced a few bills focusing on making BTC legal tender in Arizona, making BTC the same status of USD in the state and becoming accepted as a real currency. Wendy also introduced a bill to make crypto a tax-exempt property in the state. I'd say Senator Wendy is kicking ass! Salute Senator Wendy! She is really striving for growth and innovation for Arizona, which if she is successful could spread to all other states. Any thoughts on this?

Ello Governor,

I am curious to see if there is anything out there that is "in the works" that I am not aware of. I think I am most excited to see Frank's FTX scam coin, but also the limited "Don't get Yogged" card will also be sick! As far as other tokens and such i'm really not sure what other projects that really are interesting are in the works. I am hoping that one day something new is just going to pop up and get lucky enough to get the next super limited piece in time before they sell out! Lol.

As an added bonus, if you reply to the top piece, would you also include what your favorite crypto coin is and why?

Can't wait to see the posts, if you can also include pictures to make it more fun Cheesy (I will add some later)

91  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Life Insurance on: January 30, 2023, 08:45:18 PM
There is a serious need for "Bitcoin Life Insurance" In the coming years we are going to see so many cases of "Lost Coins", these will be coins that are not accessible because the surviving heirs are unsure of the password to the ledger or trezor, or whatever cold storage wallet they have, or they just won't have copies of the private keys.

I am not aware of any such policy or service that is trusted to mitigate the transfer of ownership of crypto assets to heirs in the event of one's death. Is anyone familiar with a company that does this? If so, what measures do they take to ensure that the crypto is indeed successfully transferred?  Is it a Trust, or some sort of financial advisory board? If someone signed up, how could they ensure that the companies products/services are to be trusted?

I'm sure this subject has been brought up. I have just finished up my CEs for my 215 license to continue selling life insurance/ health insurance and it got me thinking. What are your thoughts on this?/ is anyone aware of a company that provides said service?

Best,

92  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin might reach $30,000 in the first half of 2023 and $50,000 in the second on: January 28, 2023, 05:15:13 AM
The Subject line is a hightlight from this article from Analytics Insight:https://www.analyticsinsight.net/bitcoin-predicted-to-peak-at-us32000-in-2023/

Bull Season is back boys and girls  Cool

Perhaps not officially pronounced a bull season by the media yet, but we will have our 2023 Bull Season headlines showing soon, slowly but surely. OR basically overnight Bitcoin will crush all expectations on its way to new ATHs in 2023, no doubt!

From same article"According to analysts, there is a good possibility that Bitcoin will experience a bullish surge. As per experts, Bitcoin will keep growing in popularity in 2023, and if key factors stay the very same, this trend should continue into 2024. When Bitcoin hits its crucial support, it is known to recover. At the end of 2023, the price range of US$32,000 is anticipated to be broken.

I've been seeing headlines lately like highest hash rate:https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-hash-rate-taps-new-milestone-with-miner-hodling-at-1-year-low

This excerpt from the article is eye catching: "Hash rate is a key component of Bitcoin security and significant drawdowns result in network difficulty rising to entice more miners to participate.

Network difficulty is also set to reach levels never seen before this week in a nod to fierce competition in the mining sector.

According to data from BTC.com, the next automated readjustment will send difficulty an estimated 2.75% higher to 38.62 trillion"

The more difficult it is to mine surely will increase the price simply from supply and demand, as we all know.

And all of this FUD by JP Morgan Jamie Dimon is comical. The only reason that he would be saying anything like calling bitcoin a "pet rock" and releasing the FUD questioning the true 21 mil BTC cap is because of Bitcoin's ultimate threat to the Federal Reserve.

BITCOIN TO THE FREAKING MOOON!!!!!
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Fantasy Football Season Outcomes. Best Sports Bet APP & Your Pick on Superbowl? on: January 27, 2023, 02:38:53 PM
Hey guys and gals,

I feel like this year is just flying by way too fast already! Like I can't believe that Fantasy Football is already done for the year. How did you do this season? Did your team win? lose? Were you in the middle of the pack or really the caboose like me? I'll tell you that I came in 12th place for my worst performance in my Fantasy Football playing career of 7 years. I have played in nearly 20 leagues in this 7 year span, typically I play 3 leagues per year usually a work, family, and friend league- usually betting x amount on the pot. I've won 4 championships total and usually fall in the middle of the pack, but this is the first time that I've ever been last place, awwww shooot I guess there is a first for everything.  I will say that at least I get a funny trophy out of it hahahhah When I get I will be sure to make a post in here & hopefully will have some good bets/ gambling discussion to include in that post as well. Anyways, I'd have to say that its my new favorite league and I can't wait to make a come back for next year and clinch that W! I'm calling it now, I'm going to make it happen folks, Lord willing!! (Pray for me).

So all we have left are the final conference games and then the superbowl and then Tom Brady is going to have to figure his life out, just like the rest of us without football for the next 6 months! LOL.I see a lot of my friends using DraftKings and other sports betting platforms, its fun to listen in and see what everyone else thinks are good bets and seeing them be posted in real time. I'm on one of the Discord groups focused on bets/gambling in basically every different sport you can think of showing covers and spreads and over and under threads,  i'll admit that I don't really pay much attention to it, at least not as much as I should.  I did sign up and place a few bets with an app called UnderDog within the last year, they matched my deposit up to a certain point to entice me to use it, my friends and I also decided to place a bet on a game we were watching, I forget which one but we lost lol. Typically I try to find things that I can sell for a higher price when I try to earn more money, but its time to expand my horizons!

I would say that my bets on fantasy football players over the years are probably much better than any over or under spread picks that I could make, and that is still a gamble for me hahahhaha. Based on my knowledge of all the finer details you need to pay attention to / understand the cause and effect relationship between when placing these bets just goes so far outside of my wheelhouse, but I know that I can always get better at all of his. I'm going to give it a shot for this weekend, I am not a fan of any of the teams at all in these final matches this weekend, but something makes me want to place a bet in favor of the Bengals. Can someone tell me, what is the best sports betting app/ site to use to place a single bet on a team like this, or is it really best to place a bet on an over/under spread type bet? Please elaborate, I am really not much of a gambler and have very little experience with sports betting.

Okay, so what about the Superbowl? What do you think the outcomes will be this weekend? Will the 49ers win vs. the Eagles? Will the Chiefs conquer the Bengals?! Anyone wanna make a bet?  Wink That would be kind of fun, although i'm not sure if a forum wide bet is allowed but would be so dope- maybe also complicated. Anywho I hope you're all doing great! LFG its Friday, lets seize the day! Place your bets place your bets!!!!

Cheers,

94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Tom Brady's Gambling and HUGE loss. on: January 25, 2023, 03:31:09 PM
Honestly, I'd say he took quite the gamble. Maybe the gambler of the year for 2022! This man bet his marriage on making it all the way to the super bowl. He also bet the majority of his wealth on the FTX scam. Unfortunately Mr. Brady has lost it all! You have got to feel bad for the guy. I am a huge Brady fan, and can sympathize with his losses. Surely many people that don't like him for whatever reason may be happy with his current predicament, which is honestly pretty sad if that is the case. We are all human here, and dealing with tremendous loss is difficult. Especially when you're in the lime light. I recently heard on a radio talk show a clip from a reporter asking Tom Brady just the other day what he was going to do now? Tom replied, " You know *name of the reporter* if I knew what I was going to do I would have already F$%king done it!" Poor Tom. I would bet that Brady stays at it, he is not going to end his career like this, having one of the most brutal years personally 1000% affected his game, I would bet that he gets picked up by another team soon, hopefully New England! Any thoughts on this?

If he wanted to. But he wouldn't, why would he now? He could actually apply for all the licenses and register at the federal level and absolutely CRUSHHHHHHH it.

From Wiki: "Suspension of sale of Casascius Physical Bitcoins
As of Nov 27, 2013, Mike Caldwell suspended sales of items that contain digital bitcoins.[1] The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a branch of the Treasury Department, informed him before, that minting physical bitcoins qualifies him as a money transmitter business, which means he needs to register at the federal level and probably get state licenses too.[3]"

All i'm saying is that it would be really cool, but he would never do it. Would be absolutely insane though I mean could you imagine the coins that he would make today?

Any who, if they went after Mike then who is to say that they would never go after another coin maker and make them abide by the same thing that shut him down?

98  Economy / Gambling discussion / Stealing from the IRS- Talk about a Gamble! Regulatory scrutiny for crypto mixer on: January 09, 2023, 09:35:18 PM

Now I just came across this article: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/01/06/brother-of-criminal-bitcoin-mixing-ceo-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-712-bitcoins-from-irs/

Gary Harmon has got some serious balls sneaking his brother's Helix wallet recovery seed to get access to IRS seized funds from his brothers crypto mixing service, Helix. Did he think that he wouldn't get caught by the IRS? Here is a small snippet from the Coindesk article below:


"An Ohio family now has not one but two felons facing potentially lengthy prison sentences for crypto-related crimes.
Cleveland man Gary Harmon, 31, pleaded guilty to one count each of wire fraud and obstruction of justice on Friday for stealing 712 bitcoins from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The bitcoins had been seized by law enforcement from Harmon’s older brother, Larry Harmon – the CEO of darknet crypto mixing service Helix – after his 2020 arrest.
Larry Harmon pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments in August 2021. He was ordered to pay a $60 million civil penalty by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The elder Harmon has not yet been sentenced – as part of his plea agreement, he was required to forfeit his ill-gotten gains as well as turn government informant. According to his lawyers, his cooperation is “active and ongoing.”
But while Larry was cooperating with the government, his younger brother – who was formerly employed by one of Larry’s companies, Coin Ninja – was stealing from it, pilfering crypto from Larry’s forfeited wallets.
According to a newly released memorandum filed by prosecutors in August 2021, Gary Harmon used recovery seed words to recreate numerous wallets that belonged to his brother. In April 2020, he made a series of eight transfers from Larry’s forfeited wallets – Trezor wallets being held in an IRS storage locker – to his own wallets. In total, the younger Harmon brother purloined a total of 712 bitcoins from the IRS – at the time, worth $5.4 million.
Prosecutors said that Gary initially vehemently denied draining his brother’s wallets, even when presented with evidence that he had done so."

You guys might remember when this all went down with Helix in 2021. This article lays out the sentence for Larry Harmon: https://www.wsj.com/articles/operator-of-helix-bitcoin-mixer-pleads-guilty-11629328791

Here is a highlight from that article:

"Mr. Harmon’s case is one of the first involving a cryptocurrency mixer that has resulted in a conviction, according to Ari Redbord, a former assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and a former senior adviser at Treasury. The guilty plea shows U.S. law enforcement is pursuing cryptocurrency mixers with connections to the Darknet and illicit activities, while the transparency of blockchain enables them to trace the funds.

“The nature of cryptocurrency is to allow law enforcement to have unique visibility on financial flow where they never had before,” comparing it to government-issued fiat currency, said Mr. Redbord, who is now head of legal and government affairs at TRM Labs Inc., a digital currency tracing firm."

Chip mixer websites out there are currently being watched and tracked for illicit activity showing links to human trafficking, drugs, money laundering etc. They are being watched now more than ever before, as many of the folks on this forum are peddling adds through signature campaigns linked to chip mixers and online casinos it does make you wonder how many of these companies have links to these types of services that the IRS is watching for.

I feel like being anonymous in crypto is virtually impossible for the most part. They should change the name from "paper trail" to "blockchain trail" or something when it comes to crypto because there will always be some sort of trail publicly available to follow the funds, even with a chip mixer. Can someone explain to me how chip mixers work? I still don't fully understand this. And do most chip mixers also have some sort of casino or games along with their mixing service or is it generally separate?

Hey Everyone,

Happy New Year! This website used to be an online bitcoin gambling hub HQed out of the virgin islands. I would go here sometimes to get some free sats and free spins in games. Some of my friends have won a considerable amount of bitcoin through this website. They had an incentive to hold bitcoin in their address sort of like blockfi used to have where you got like 4% interest or something like that (bad idea). A lot of people who held their coins on there have certainly lost them all. SMH.

Anyways, I just went to go back and check it out, it appears that this web prompting popped up leading me to believe that they have closed shop permanently probably due to a scam or government shutdown? Or just simply moved to a new web address (which I can't find): "This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://freebitco.in/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED"

Is anyone familiar with this gambling page, and does anyone know what happened to it? What is strange is that I am still getting emails from their domain email address but the website is still not showing, just odd. Maybe i'm doing something wrong or I need to try on another browser. This is my first post in the gambling section, and I plan to make many more informative posts such as this.

100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Seriously can't wait for Bitcoin 2023!!! Re-cap of Sound Money Fest in Miami on: December 20, 2022, 09:26:45 PM
Had an incredible time at B22 & Sound Money Fest. If you didn't go last year or don't plan on going this year I urge you to go!! It is an experience you will never forget. For me the concert was the best.

I'm going to fast forward to the end, because its fresh on my mind. The Sound Money Fest day. A completely separate day. I started that day by hitting up the Gunz and Bitcoin conference and meeting with a client there who gave me an extra ticket (totally separate conference maybe 20 minutes form B22). It was dope, but night and day compared to the bitcoin conf. That conference is miniscule and so very tiny in comparison in like a hilton inn or something. Lots of 3d printed guns and rando vendors, I'm pretty sure there were a shit load of FBI agents there too, I didn't stay long haha, but it was fuN! I wanted to kick it back and listen to some music. I made my way back to the Bitcoin 22 conference for my 2nd day being there. The exhibit hall was DEAD. Hardly anyone left, so I made my way to the CASHAPP Garden outside where I was hunting for Bitcoin QR codes for free bitcoin! I was living it up after making some friends whilst hunting down the BTC checking behind every bush and behind every tree for a little sign with the QR codes! While on the hunt there I ended up running into some cool guys and made friends, we proceeded to look for free money, as we went along we came across the free empanadas stand and the free coconut water stand with the cashapp logo burned on the nut haha. They had free ice cream stand just all free stuff it was great ( it was also outside of the conference center so you had to completely leave and walk over across the street to get to the garden). That was a lot of fun though I remember but I was getting so tired after all the walking around and so were the two guys I ended up meeting and hanging with so we started to make our way back over to the outside stage area back at the conference center (which we actually snuck back in through the service entrance so we didn't have to walk ALLL the way back to the front entrance) We ended up grabbing a drink there before Logic started his set when this 4th guy ended up joining our newly formed crew. It was hilarious this guy was like from ATL or something just there alone to vacation because he said he heard Miami was a lot of fun, COINcidentally he booked it right during B22 and decided to go for the last day of the Sound Money Fest, to be clear he had no clue about bitcoin or crypto for that matter & he was super drunk & would say outragious things so it was good free entertainment too hahaha. We started walking back into the conference area to get our free Bitstop NFT while we still had time & also to find the girls who were walking around from some exchange giving out free bitcoin! I downloaded their app (still cant remember what it was called) they gave us each like $40 each though, sweet! Drink money!!! haha.

We ended going back outside when Steve Aoki got up on stage, but I was sooo hungry at that point so I decided to go on over and grab a burger from the food trucks. I ditched the crew because they wanted to make their way to the very front to see Aoki. I like steve but not that much lol. Needed some fuel in the gut ya dig!? Shortly after Aoki,  Logic,  was getting on stage for his set. I started making my way back for that but I realized that I forgot something crucial in my car, my pre rolls haha, so I went back to my car & got those, and I was good 2 go! It was also during this time that I noticed like 400 arculus wallets on the tables as I was walking out that were meant for the concert attendees, being a little in the clouds I decided to take a stack of like 10 of them since they were free lmao, put them straight into my car and headed back into the concert again. I made it back just in time to see Logic which was epic, he performed a lot of his newer stuff as well as signed on 2 of his best friends to his record label on stage & gave one of them a 12k gold chain. I partied my heart out during Logic, made that cool friend but all good things must come to an end. I said goodbye to my buddy and was onto the next part of my adventure.

For some reason, they decided to have Deadmau5 and Logic's set at the same time, which I was so pissed about but being the 420 friendly person I am I decided that I had to see Logic, so I thought I missed out on Deadmau5 and was super bummed. Little did I know they ended up pushing Deadmau5 back to right after Logic's show because I guess nobody went, or it was a very small amount of people that went because everyone obviously went to go and see Logic instead. I'll never forget this next part though. There were SOOOO many people heading inside the center after Logic finished his part of the concert. Everyone heard about Deadmau5 now turning it up so we all had to get to the other end of the center on the inside where they had DeadMau5 set up, and for some reason (still don't understand why) but the conference center staff were literally blocking the door and trying their best to stop people from getting in to see Deadmau5. They literally weren't letting people inside & making rope blockades and they were pushing people back. I wasn't about that shit though I wasn't going to miss deadmau5. I powered my way through and even pushed some of these guards off of me to get into the doors. When I finally broke in, I walked into what seemed like the biggest, longest room I've ever been in my life. I paid for this crap I wasn't about to not be let in haha. And let me tell you it was a full on rave, a straight up rave with AC though and like 10 drink stands like at every corner of this place in what was without a doubt the largest room I have ever been in, ever. The spaciousness only added to the experience, the lights bounced off the walls and the music sounded louder maybe even echoed,  I was on cloud 9. I love Deadmau5 and have been listening to his music for over 10 years. Its just so much fun thinking back on that night. The rave was still going on when I started walking out of there. The post rave walk is always very sobering haahahha, ears ringing, feet kind of hurting from all the walking haha. But all in all I'd say that it was a complete success, it was truly an epic day. And I just realized that I really only spoke on my time at the sound money fest! I guess you will have to hear about my time during the conference another time because I am sick of typing rn, lol. I hope you all enjoyed my crazy stories, I am completely full of them. I often think of potentially writing a book, maybe I should!

Anyways, the story will continue and live to see another day in another post. But for now we get ready for a fun little bitcoin meet up this evening in West Palm with one of the Bitcoin Devs from NY. Satslife will be there, he actually is the one who invited me. I can't wait for the party to continue on! I am also very much looking forward to some good old fashioned pizza and drinks with the boys. Should be a good time! Anyways, I hope you all have an amazing day! Seriously can't wait for Bitcoin 2023!!!
