There are so many indie-published novels with mediocre ratings on Goodreads and Amazon and such, and I always find myself thinking, “who reads these?”

Since I don’t have as much time as I’d like to read fiction, I generally end up reading just the big hits and then continue reading sequels on them.

A #CarnivoreDiet is something every human should try for at least 90 days. Some need it as a reset/cleanse, and some need it for life.

Meat, eggs, butter, milk

The four superfoods

It is my clear impression/understanding that both the US 2020 election and the Brazilian 2022 election were STOLEN.

What can be more serious than that? It’s lies and deceit on a mind boggling scale.

And questioning is about to be criminalized and shut down globally.

A 17 year old murdered some little girls. The riots are of an anti-immigration and anti-muslim nature, stirred up by nationalist right wing groups.

The ballot impacts with more force than the bullet. Vote everyone out.

it's not that only the rich will have access, it's that day to day usage isn't necessary on bitcoin. the dollar or usdc is fine for small transactions.

yes, you needs money to make BTC useful. that's it's purpose.

you don't need btc if you don't have larger amounts of money to store.

I usually feel awful after flying long distances. Some people travel well, and that’s not really me.

I usually can’t sleep much on a plane, even in business class, so I forcibly skip a whole night of sleep basically, and end up with a headache and full body aches.

Over the years I’ve picked up some techniques to minimize it, but clearly not enough (travel for me used to be “hellish” and now it’s much improved to just “awful”).

What do ya’ll do to minimize the negative impact when traveling?

This is art

Bitcoin fees are currently only a dollar, but niche programmers are suggesting to change the fundamental nature of bitcoin and increase its attack surface to make it more scalable… for people who don’t necessarily know or understand the trade offs of that scaling.

Scaling is an important discussion, but everything is a trade off. I like many of the scaling discussions, but rushing them is another matter.

It costs me $100 to buy a 1oz gold coin by mail, or to send signed documents internationally in a few days. Verification is expensive.

The idea that global monetary verification should be super cheap inherently comes with security trade offs.

All ideas should be evaluated carefully and come to major consensus. Otherwise change proposers risk a fork war.

I don't like the term "FUD", meaning "fear uncertainty and doubt".

Or more broadly, I think it's over-used. When people criticize something, a common response is "that's just FUD".

But, you *should* feel fear, uncertainty, and doubt sometimes about any given thing. That's healthy. That's what makes you not in a cult. And addressing that fear, uncertainty, and doubt in an honest way, and constructing a sense of probabilities from that, is what builds conviction to move forward and invest time or money into that thing.
