Marathon Digital Holdings:

"We can confirm that Marathon did mine an invalid block.

We utilize a small portion of our hash rate to experiment with our development pool and research potential methods to optimize our operations.

The error was the result of an unanticipated bug that came from one of our experiments. In no way was this experiment an attempt to alter Bitcoin Core in any way.

Our team noticed the invalid block around the same time as the rest of the world, and we immediately corrected the error.

This incident, while unintended, underscores the robust security of the Bitcoin network, which rejected and rectified the anomaly."

If a guy has an unattractive face, like 75% of the time he can fix it with a beard.

That’s why a lot of guys in their 50s and 60s end up looking better than they did in their 30s and 40s- they grow a beard.

I saw an old politician on a news clip yesterday and didn’t even recognize him at first because he had a beard. Looked better than he did decades ago. Happens almost every time.

Anyway, good morning.

The currency caste system:

A very small number of rich countries print high-quality fiat (for now) to buy stuff while the overwhelming number of countries can’t and instead have to export stuff *we* want (instead of focus on making stuff they need) to earn high-quality fiat

This currency caste system ensures that most countries never develop sovereignty and instead grow dependency

But! This caste system is completely upended if all countries and people eventually settle in the same global neutral currency that no one state or group of states can print arbitrarily

This is the ultimate promise of Bitcoin: ending the global monetary inequality that enriches a tiny few by causing needless suffering for so many

If you deposit $10,000 into a bank 🏦

Here’s what happens…

The bank set asides a 10% and loans out the rest of your money.

How it works, say another person comes in and asks for a car loan of $9,000.

At this moment the banks loans out $9,000 from your original deposit, it isn’t there anymore.

The borrower then pays the person selling the car and they deposit the money into another bank which is the part of the same central banking system.

This $9,000 is treated as a new deposit.

The process continues…

The money gets redeposited and re-loaned until the initial deposit of $10,000 becomes $100,000.

The banking system just created $90,000 by loaning out your money.

Banking system is a fraud. Learn #Bitcoin

Good morning Nostr! Instead of working on my new online learning program I’m waiting in hospital for my health check after traveling Southern Africa. Showing symptoms of Billharzia.

Better check and be safe than sorry. I’ll be fine.
