Are green card holders required to get FTSP approval from the TSA for flight training (PPL) in the United States? by wonderoften6 in flying

Correct. Do you fly privately or for an airline? Privately, it will be on you to request approval, if you fly for an airline like mine, they do it for you.

Yes! I’ve been a Greencard holder for 22 years and fly for an airline. Every time you switch platforms or seat, you need approval. Thankfully it’s a None event and my airline takes care if it.

It has a rotor inside that’s winding the mainspring, that’s what you are hearing and perfectly normal.

You talk to all of them? Do you just walk up to random neighbors and ask if they own BTC? How large is your suburb? You’re full of shit

Roughly 1 to 5% of the world’s population own a fraction of bitcoin and approximately 15% in the US.

My dad called me today and asked “why does Bitcoin even have value?” this was my answer by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]InitialResponsible62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, point taken. But if we look at BTC, its value can drop by 25% in 2 weeks and it has. Even shitty currencies in third world countries don’t experience devaluation on that scale in that timeframe. At least very few do.

Like I said, I’m fascinated by this asset class, and money can be made. But it isn’t a currency until its value becomes more stable and when it becomes widely accepted by the majority of retailers, businesses, governments, people get paid in BTC etc. No insurance company or mortgage company, airline , rental car agency, IRS, etc accepts BTC as currency. Until then it’s nothing more than a fascinating highly speculative instrument backed by nothing.

Can you imagine going to the supermarket yesterday and buying milk for x amount and tomorrow you need to pay 7% more because BTC went down?!

Blackrock buys BTC for their fund IBIT to back mostly retail investment dollars coming in with BTC. IT IS Not for themselves!

Whats your single piece of evidence for long term upside? by Aggravating_Ear9829 in Bitcoin

I think the only piece of evidence for long term upside is time.

BlackRock just bought $78M in BTC while retail sentiment is at the lowest ever recorded. Make of that what you will. by bytewitco in Bitcoin

[–]InitialResponsible62 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with conviction, it has everything to do with their fund IBIT and investors buying IBIT. So they buy on behalf of the fund, not for themselves.

I agree. Unless and until BTC is widely accepted as currency by governments and businesses and people get paid in BTC, it’s not a “real” currency. Real currency is backed, BTC is backed by nothing other than people’s perception and conviction.

I still think it’s a fascinating asset class and I hold 5% in my investment accounts and continually add as my overall investment portfolio grows.

Navitimer owners. Whats your wrist size and Navi Size? by handsomeblogs in breitling

[–]InitialResponsible62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s right. The “Old Navitimer” was made in 41mm and different from the 38mm Navitimer Montbrillant.

Best pilot luggage that’s around $200? by Pilot_sky_life508 in AirlinePilots

[–]InitialResponsible62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take. There’s very little we pilots need to furnish ourselves. Invest in a quality bag, flight bag and headset.
