Wow.

I created a Facebook account just now to see what's available on marketplace. They somehow figured out my real name and birthday based on the email address (different one than the one I used back when I had an account many years ago) and when I tried to delete the account, it keeps saying that the password is wrong (despite it being fine for logging in). What sort of dystopian nightmare is this?

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms they are exploring ways to acquire more Bitcoin to expand the US strategic reserve 🙌

Thank Rogan for that gem

I don’t say thank you to ChatGPT.

Not because I’m rude. it’s just a tool.

We shouldn't personify it.

I want to keep an I–It relationship with AI, not an I–Thou one.

Same reason I don’t thank a hammer after using it

it’s not a person, it’s a thing.

Confusing this is the beginning of delusion when interacting with reality.

Completely agree! Remember flying down to do a Lex Fridman podcast about why #bitcoin just as Elon was changing his tune about it. Never aired because it didn’t fit the narrative.

You don't shut down the internet and communications of a population unless you don't want the world knowing what you are doing there.

Quantum Computing is the most midwit of all talking points.

As a midwit myself, I don't understand the concept fully and haven't come across any good resources. Any suggestions?

Easy way to tell the real ones. It’s not about spending or saving. If you are on a #Bitcoin standard, you use your money and there’s not really a debate.

Disinflation is over.

The US likely hit the low point of (CPI) for the year.

Oil prices have likely bottomed and should meander higher from here.

This also means that the chance of deflationary recession is almost zero for the foreseeable future.

The US economy should rev higher and economic indicators will likely surprise to the upside.

New ATHs (and more) likely for #bitcoin in the near future.

Onward and upward.

Humans are not extinct.

GM, you make better decisions if you're married and have kids.

Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.
