He did actually extend from May to September, but still it was too fast trying to honor the spirit of speedy withdrawal Trump had negotiated.

Which Trump's physician, unprompted, said he had never had right after getting out of the hospital.

The text of the Minerals Deal between Ukraine and USA in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz
[–] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The fund gets to offload expenses onto Ukraine. There is no matching text for offloading expenses to the fund or to the US. Sounds pretty shitty to me.

You're reading that part backwards. The fund, at it's discretion, may credit expenses Ukraine incurred. The discretion part is weasely though.

I agree though, the whole thing is suspect with our current administration.

What would you do with a bitcoin windfall? (lemmy.world)

I'm not a true believer in crypto, but I used to play around with it. I have received a 5-figure USD sum of bitcoin from the MtGox settlement, and I'm considering my options. It is a true windfall. It was worth maybe $100-200 when I used to play daytrader and shop silk road with it.

We are on track for early retirement as it is, but my "smart money" intuition says pay the long-term capital gains and invest in funds, how we do everything else. More money earlier is always good.

My gambler side says to withdraw some maybe, but split the rest into a half dozen likely candidates for someday real world crypto use which may take off. I don't stay up to date on them anymore, so this would take some real research.

The weird Trumpy stuff going on with BTC makes me think it couldn't hurt to hold through the election in case prepper types panic buy it lol.

My wife says it's unexpected so just leave it as a high-risk part of our whole portfolio, but I worry she underestimates the risk and scamminess of it all.

Update: I sold the account down to 0.1 BTC today. I may sell more later on. Thanks everyone for your input.
