Regarding the Doge dog dying yesterday, this evidently wasn't the first time. A little more context in long form: https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqqzmcn0yrn7ttq8hrjkk46ysn2tk26rr8f8k4y7xkl74hlh3rcdzqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qq42evkjjenvdh4z46yvf05c63cf3n5vmnzdyrxennr

I dug into this a little bit: https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqqzmcn0yrn7ttq8hrjkk46ysn2tk26rr8f8k4y7xkl74hlh3rcdzqq24vktffvekxm632azxyh6vdguyce6xde3xjy7fget

I wrote a note about this very thing yesterday...I'd of sworn reading about doge dying a year or two back. Let the conspiracy theories begin!

Wait, what? Today is May 24, 2024 and I could have sworn that read about the Doge dog dying like a year or two ago. Am I in Doge dog Groundhog Day?

Keep grinding.

Well, that's interesting in the #cashu Telegram.

I'm sure this is true and is interesting. But it's also likely true for correlations like GDP-gasoline, GDP-chicken eggs, GDP-beer, GDP-pretty-much-anything. (I'd like to see the GDP-beer numbers tho!)

Dear Guardian,

- GDP is up? looks pretty unflattering to me at 1.6% - https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp-growth

- the stock market is not the economy

- businesses can't get people to work, thus jobs

- 3.5% is still going up, and it's still too high (declining from 9% year-over-year to 3.5% is still going up)

Thanks, taxpayer.

US House passed the FIT21 bill yesterday. The Republican-Democrat split is there, but it the Republican-pro and Democrat-con dichotomy seems murkier. Appears to be getting to the point where Democrats are either (a) not wanting to be labeled as anti-bitcoin (or anti-crypto), thus they're going along, (b) they like the "crypto must be regulated" thesis of the bill and are baiting the hook for big fish, or (c) realizing the costs of scaring away innovation and the potential upsides.

Scoreboard on the vote: Republicans: 208 yes, 3 no. Democrats: 71 yes, 133 no.

I gotta say, between your seafood boil and pizza dough, you've got some skills. [tip my hat] (and how is there not an emoji for hat tipping?) 🫡

If the students who booed the guy giving the commencement speech at Ohio State on May 5 had taken his advice and hodled some #bitcoin that day, they'd be up 9.9% right now. Just sayin'.

This is just a test highlight (my first highlight, whoot! whoot!). It's worthwhile to note how "understanding" bitcoin is a process that never ends. We grow.

Welp, I guess I know which way I'd like to see today's House vote go based simply off this headline: https://cointelegraph.com/news/biden-president-sec-gary-gensler-fit21-house-vote

Was just fooling around with Oracolo and now have a Nostr long form blog. So easy:

1. added my public hex key into the index.html file

2. stuck that html file on a server

3. done

It auto-populates any long form Nostr note that I've written in places like habla.news or yakihonne.com. Clean look, auto-updates.

Happy #bitcoin pizza day!

Why is the solution always more taxes? Nope, bad idea.
