Oh, I remember those days well, @bozz. I had about 30 years of 5:30am wake ups. It makes time seem to move so much more swiftly. It's as though the daily routine sweeps you into its current and before you even realize the sun is setting. I hope you can step away from it during this bull cycle. If you're anything like me it'll still take a few years to deprogram yourself.

I read about that absurd IRS rule! I can't imagine they don't realize how impossible something like that would be at this point in the game. I believe they're purposely making things difficult. I've even read that the SEC is considering making it illegal for US investors to directly hold BTC after the BTC ETFs are approved. If this rumor is correct, to comply with the law, US investors will have to invest in an ETF if they want exposure to Bitcoin. Crazy, I know, but I wouldn't say it's totally out of the question for them considering who they take their marching orders from.
