There is the link below and the source is The US Marshal Service via a Freedom of Information Act request. https://x.com/l0lal33tz/status/1945491935180869766There could be Bitcoin held elsewhere, sure. I’m pretty sure Trump requested all the government’s BTC to be consolidated though. This might not be a smoking gun, but it sure seems that way.

Gambling does have positive sides. For those who have won life changing money, certainly they would agree. In the United States we even use gambling for good. Our state lottery system uses profits to raise funds for school teachers. It helps them to bridge the gap of not having funds for school supplies they need to teach.

In one of the more dumb financial moves I’ve ever made (hey BTC is at all time highs)… I’ve decided to start buying PSA 10 graded versions of my favorite baseball cards that I couldn’t get as a kid. As far as wasting money goes, this has got to be right up there. The idea of having my favorite baseball cards all in perfect condition hanging on the wall of my office is just too good to pass up.
There will be signs…

Swimming everyday and keeping my sit-ups and leg lifts going. Feeling good. Managed to get some yard work in today as well since it was a bit overcast outside. I need to get more serious about my push-ups. I’ve just sort of been doing them here and there lately instead of being on a strict schedule while I focus on other things. I need to get back into a regular routine. Just trying to figure out how to get everything to go together in a day.

It looks like the Phoenix Suns in an effort to cement themselves as the worst managed team in professional sports have decided to give Bradley Beal $97,000,000 to not play for them. Beal owes Durant something for this. The way they finessed Phoenix should be taught to professional athletes. I still can’t believe this all happened.

First the vote got shot down and then they added a 3rd bill and it passed? I’m confused, but the last few minutes has seemingly brought us approval of the GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC bills. I guess I’ll have to wait for a legitimate source to explain what just happened. Seeing a lot of conflicting information currently.

Reports on X today are claiming that the US government’s Bitcoin addresses have been unmasked and that they are only holding 29,000 BTC. A far cry from the 200,000 BTC claimed. This could also be why we never heard anything after President Trump issued an audit. If they don’t have the Bitcoin, does that mean a 170,000 BTC buy from the government is imminent?

The only thing I’m crossing my fingers for is the elimination of capital gains taxes on Bitcoin, which seems like a pipe dream.
It sounded like that to me too, but Biodom explained that it would only be for unsold bitcoin coming from mining. That would be reasonable and could be possible in today's climate. Here it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg65587907#msg65587907The senate will have to slip the no capital gains tax in at the last minute. That isn’t something you start the negotiation process with. It’s something you slip in at midnight before a vote knowing that everyone has already been bought off to vote yes. It would most likely only be included in the final version of a bill they vote on to send to the President’s desk.

There is an awful lot of LeBron James trade talk happening for something to not be in the works. What I’m reading from good sources is that LeBron James is going to Dallas. They’re planning to keep Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, which makes me think we may see Klay Thompson and Cooper Flagg included in a deal…
If LeBron James moves to Dallas, what will happen to Bronny? I don’t think the Lakers will keep him, they’ll probably let him go as soon as possible. Also, I’m not sure which team would want to sign Bronny; most teams likely won’t be interested in adding him to their roster. It's obvious that Bronny might not stay that long on the Lakers or in the NBA as well. We all know that he was just drafted by the Lakers because of his father's influence. But if so if he leaves the Lakers then it's over for the young James. It's worth noting that in the history of the NBA, there have been very few players selected at such a late draft pick who have been sought after by teams. So yes, if Bronny doesn't improve his skills a lot, he probably won't be able to find a place in the NBA after his contract expires. I think Bronny is turning into a legitimate prospect. He outplayed Cooper Flagg in their meeting. He led the Lakers in scoring one game last season… He’s shown flashes of brilliance. He just needs to get consistent and keep at it. He is still young for an NBA player. I’m actually impressed with his rate of improvement.

Remember when you could buy Bitcoin for under $100,000. That was cool.
Looks like this week’s White House plans are getting a little movement going in the markets. The only thing I’m crossing my fingers for is the elimination of capital gains taxes on Bitcoin, which seems like a pipe dream.

TRUMP POSTED THIS, HAPPY CRYPTO WEEKBITCOIN IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN NEXT COMING MONTHS. But before then, who is ready for a NEW ATH ??  I was just reading that Trump said they now have the votes to advance this bill. I think the next step is where the senate would add no capital gains taxes on Bitcoin if they were going to. I have my doubts but am trying to remain optimistic. I think if we are going to see capital gains tax on Bitcoin abolished this year, it will have to happen now.

I don't think Cooper Flagg will be included in any trade. When was the last time a number 1 draft pick was traded to another team before even playing a single game? Especially someone this hyped? Then again, with the Mavericks, you can never rule anything out.  It's understandable that LeBron would want to join a stronger team for one last try for a championship. This could very well be his final season. The Lakers just don't have enough depth. Even if they make the play-offs, it'll probably end in an early exit. The last time that happened was Andrew Wiggins who got traded for Kevin Love because he was a better fit with LeBron James. Pretty similar situation to now to be honest. Cooper Flagg isn’t established. He could be a bust. LeBron is something special… I bet they also get a ton of picks. I don’t think a deal happens without Cooper Flagg. Dallas doesn’t have anything else to trade other than Klay.

I would think that the lower overhead of online casinos would give them a higher payout ratio than casinos like those in Las Vegas where they have a ton of lights to power, drinks to give away, and employees to pay. Each casino is different though. That’s why it is important to use a reputable casino that won’t rip you off.

I got my off-road light bar installed. I guess it isn’t road legal so while it is on there, I’ll have to connect it later when it is cooler out because Tesla isn’t allowed to. Hopefully that is easy.
They gave me a Model S Plaid to ride around in today and I took advantage of the 1,020 horsepower. Fun day.
I will say that steer-by-wire and physical buttons on the Cybertruck are a huge improvement over the S. I’ve now driven an S, X, and Cybertruck. Hands down the Cybertruck is the best. Not even close.

Bummer about the failed vote on crypto bills today. Apparently the exclusion of a ban on a central bank digital currency was the reason for the failure. It looks like they’ll be voting on it again later today with an amendment to get it passed. Then on to the senate, where hopefully they will add in the elimination of capital gains. Now is the time.

I don’t think that James Wynn was a real person in that I don’t believe he was actually trading with his own money. I think he was a clever advertising campaign for an online site trying to bring attention to their leverage trading. It seems to have been wildly successful as well because many have now heard of James Wynn.

I would say that reaching a Bitcoin price of $150,000 is more likely now than it has ever been. We are getting pretty close. A good couple of days in the market would get us there. Personally I would expect to hit this level sometime in September. When Saylor gets that sweet S&P money things could get wild.

There are so many different scenarios when it comes to custody options and individuals that there really isn’t a one approach fits all. For some people (maybe most people) they shouldn’t be responsible for their own coins while others may have no issue with it. I personally think the best approach with everything is diversification.

I think the big deciding factor for me when it comes to slot machines is how entertained I am with the bonus spins. If I really want to see the bonus rounds I’m much more likely to continue playing or even pay for bonus spins. If the bonus spins are underwhelming I won’t even want to play at all.
