We're taught to work for money long before we're taught how money works. 🧭 Let's find your bearings. #Bitcoin #BitcoinBearings #nostr

Sweden is reconsidering a digital version of its national currency. Only 5% of people surveyed in Sweden used cash for their last in-store purchase in 2025. Now, with stablecoins and Europe's proposed digital euro changing the conversation, Sweden's central bank wants lawmakers to revisit the idea of a digital krona. But here's an important distinction. A central bank digital currency is still government-issued money. Bitcoin operates on an open network without a central issuer. Both are digital. But that doesn't make them the same thing. As physical cash slowly disappears, what freedoms should we insist on preserving in the money that replaces it? 🧭 Let's find your bearings. #bitcoin #nostr #CBDC #news #BitcoinBearings

Apparently fraud gets a different headline depending on the payment method. When someone scams people using dollars, it's fraud. When someone scams people using Bitcoin, suddenly Bitcoin itself is the problem. Here's what the numbers actually say. The FTC reported a record $15.9 BILLION in U.S. consumer fraud losses in 2025. Bank payments accounted for the highest reported losses by payment method. Cryptocurrency came second. And a Federal Reserve survey found that 75% of financial institutions experienced attempted debit-card fraud. None of this excuses crypto scams. They're real, and victims deserve protection. But nobody declares the dollar a scam every time someone commits wire fraud. Why should Bitcoin be judged by the criminals who use it? 🧭 Let's find your bearings. #bitcoin #nostr #plebchain #news #BitcoinBearings

The U.S. now owes more than $40 trillion. Its interest bill alone reached a record $1.36 trillion in fiscal 2026. This week, the Treasury borrowed at 5.469% on 20-year bonds — the highest auction yield for that maturity since 1986. Now there's discussion about issuing fewer long-term bonds and relying more on short-term borrowing. That might lower borrowing costs today. But shorter-term debt needs refinancing more often, and the debt itself doesn't disappear. When borrowing keeps getting more expensive, is changing how you borrow a solution, or just buying time? 🧭 Let's find your bearings. #news #Economy #bitcoin #BitcoinBearings #nostr

Pun intended? 😎

Most justice systems have gone from innocent until proven guilty.. To if were suspicious of you, or just feel like it.. You're guilty until proven innocent.

Hold the line!

Here's an interesting twist in yesterday's GENIUS Act announcement. Stablecoin issuers can't pay interest directly to holders. But exchanges may still offer rewards on stablecoin balances, depending on the arrangement. Traditional banks are concerned this could pull deposits out of the banking system. And consumer advocates are raising questions about protections, since stablecoin holdings aren't equivalent to FDIC-insured bank deposits. The debate over digital dollars isn't just about technology anymore. It's about competition for people's money. And that competition is getting interesting. 🧭 Let's find your bearings. #news #stablecoins #Economy #nostr #BitcoinBearings
