Here's a pretty cool hour long video on why the Netherlands is so awesome and overpowered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cIHLgGZByY
In it they mention ASML, a Dutch company which in 2017 became the only company in the world which can make the best most powerful chip-making machines.
They have like 5 customers to whom they sell 300-million-dollar chip-making machines, and nobody else has the tech and knowhow to make the machines. They own the market.
Here's their price-graph since 2017. Look familiar? Yes. It's the same shape as the bitcoin graph, because it's the same shape as the global liquidity graph, because the price of everything only reflects the dilution of money now.
Bitcoin's been doing about 2x better on average, though ASML reach a new high faster.
If you'd sold your bitcoin to buy one of the biggest booming international tech companies at the very bitcoin top, you were still just swapping one bear market for another. Still making losses after the sell.
Was there *anything* going up between October 21 and January 23?

Has she noticed that people have also lost respect for the office of the home secretary?
Does the UK government still have it's account on Gab or Truth Social was it banned from there? I hear it was banned from shitposter club.
Ironically, I will never know any way to achieve such a goal because nobody will read this post to suggest a way that might work even though it says a word like month in it for no obvious reason and and maybe that is one of the words?
Actually, even with existing time-lock mechanisms: How do you protect against a fake-chain with exponentially-decreasing difficulty adjustments?
Presumably whatever keys get spit out at year X also get spit out at fake year X in fake chain?
Or one of your books has the chapters such that increasing prime-number-indexed words are the key-phrase. Or fibinachi instead of prime.
And it swaps books every prime.
But all such puzzles would be solved before you even died, or within moments of the dead-mans-lock expiring.
I would guess not possible, because you could always fake a chain with exponentially decreasing difficulty-adjustments.
You could lock coins so nobody would care until they became spendable at a given block-height though. Make people 50 years from now read your damned blog.
Is it even possible to cryptographically lock a file such that it can only be decrypted once a certain block-height is reached? Pass a message that can be unlocked only in the future?
Hypothetically, if one were to outlive all your family and die without need of care, there could be an estate worth of crypto that a dying person would have no particular target for.
For a moment let us imagine such a person who has a published literary work. A blog and some books at least. They would like for at least some portion of their dying hodl stack to go to the person who pays the most attention to their life's work out of everyone in the next 50 years.
You want 'em to puzzle over your life's output and ideally maybe future-timelocked encrypted private diaries, and whoever solves the puzzle gets the bitcoin.
Like a sort of Ready Player One situation, with people competing to solve the puzzles, but just for some blogger loser who never got any followers but did luck into some bitcoin that might be worth even more 50 years later.
Imagine also that you aren't actually any good at making puzzles let alone cryptography.
Anyone wanna suggest things for a story about that? Or for instructions to an executor or whatever?
I can't seem to find it any more. I think it closed down and some some sort of 4-chan like troll site called x dot com took over all the old URLs.
Yeah, the fediverse is mostly against bitcoin. They quite rightly view all of crypto as a big old scam and mostly aren't really involved enough to understand permissionless-money enabled all those scams but isn't in itself a scam. Or at least is no more of a scam than the dollar.
Never used it, but presumably users in zap.stream have already connected their wallets to zap.stream, which can enable a one-button zapping.
If you want the QR code to not contain an amount then I think it has to LnURL, which is basically just a link to a website that can create an invoice with a user-suggested amount.
Not entirely sure what kinds of things you need to be running to generate an LnUrl. Presumably some wallets do it, by offering that website to allow users to specify amounts and generate a proper invoice.
What does it even mean to incorporate zaps into your owncast?
If you have a lightning wallet you can presumably have it generate a donation QR code and display that in the stream.
But beyond that, you'd have to have some client integration? Are people visiting a page on your owncast server in order to view the stream? You'd be asking them to hook their wallet into your own personal streaming server. Not sure many people will want to to that.
If you just mean sending zaps to your nostr address then again, it's back-channel stuff. You just need to display your npub, maybe as a QR code, and let people get to it.
Clearly people like the technical problems, that's what they're paying for. Consider pulling out a few wires to see what happens.
🤷 depends who you follow really. Nobody gets their world-view from X, they get it from the people who use X. Admitedly everyone cool already left, but still, not everyone remaining there is andrew tate and jorden peterson.
It is an issue that there is a person who controls twitter at all of course. Even Silent Bob shouldn't control it.
That "livestream" was mostly dead-air and adverts, awful really.
Very rambling wasn't it? Couldn't stay on topic.
Not sure what that bit about woke military has to do with anything. Sounds like the US is in trouble if the military ever have to go undercover with woke groups. They won't be able to do it. Can't fake it. Just impossible for US military to be woke it seems.
Guess it would be good to have a legal system with more clarity, but he didn't say what that system would be, only that he'd put together a panel of shitcoiners to invent one.
Also tell them their military are not woke, that their military would never be woke. Maybe some people might try to make them woke but no, not your military. Your military will never be woke.
