The gradient of the big surge gets flatter with each successive period. Sobering reminder that while we dream about the price rocketing, the real value now is the shaking and displacing of the present order.
We won't see dollar sat parity, except of the dollar is collapsing to zero in a wiemar wheelbarrow fashion.
I suppose all those things are tangibles that get debated in politics, but the one thing we all took for granted is that it was normal for the state to hold a monopoly on the money system and use violence to enforce that. As long as we were allowed to use it as well we didn't ask too many questions, libertarian and totalitarian alike.
Bitcoin established a new plane of politics, it made the two dimensional grid a three dimensional space, pulling us out of different starting points towards an apex of consensus.
"Innovating: A Doer's Manifesto".
Surprisingly not a bitcoin book.
Useful for the fiat mining that funds my bitcoin addiction. Different school of thought to the 'lean start-up' approach to corporate innovation, and leads with the idea of being 'productively wrong'. Basically, you learn more by having a go than by thinking about it endlessly, which... coming back to bitcoin, is a good place to start.

Just think, a single zap could change a destiny and seed the beginning of a legacy.

As part of the workflow yes, but not abdicating responsibility completely.
Prompt it so it can prompt you, give you some 'candidate text', drafts to play with, new directions to explore.
But, remember it has no accountability and often if you dig a little deeper you'll find flaws in the things it spouts so confidently. If possible use the GPT Playground not the ChatGPT interface.
Finally, you can touch up the completed work with something like Quillbot.
Good question... as it isn't clear if the compromise is the hardware or the bloatware android architecture that sits on top... that by necessity is full of holes for Google, Samsung et al to exploit.
I like to think that GrapheneOS fixes this, and I can afford to be complacent on a Pixel 5, but good to get to the bottom of this.

Had a look.
They're offering CalyxOS or GrapheneOS running on a Pixel 6 or 7. The blurb about Titan M2 is generic.
I guess they're offering this 'preloaded' and introducing it in a more attractive way than the 'dry' marketing of the open source projects, so in that sense I approve (although it's a bit funny and I'm kind of envious).
Speaking as a samourai wallet and dojo node runner who also has a Pixel 5 that I flashed myself with GrapheneOS.
So glad to know I'm not a mentally ill statist... but with humility, as there - but for the grace of God - go I.

The Truman Show.
Bitcoin is the plumb line that reveals the crookedness of our abstracted civilization and the volatility of the babylon system that sits atop.
I did think we escalated quickly from purple ostrich shit posting and 69420 zap culture to medical records the standard. Amethyst development is going at breakneck speed, maybe something driving it.
Beyond amethyst, there's a ton of security questions about relays, about permanent notes, about dox through zaps... the list goes on.
Tread carefully and keep eyes open.
If you can get to your seed plate without needing to break concrete with tools then it's not cold enough, anon.

Last time I even thought about selling was March 2020, which I countered with a 'what the heck' smash buy that put my fragile ego back in its place.
Since then it's been a case of 'this has to work, and if it doesn't then a few more government coins in my wheelbarrow isn't going to make any difference.
