Feeling so many feelings today. 😔🥹

Our girls are here, but that was preceded by the passing of my dad, Angelo. He passed away on March 15. The girls arrived 11 days later.

They have his eyes and that's really something that leaves me with so much joy but also lots of sadnesss.

Sending out so many loving vibes to anyone who's lost someone special in your life. 💚🫂

Hmmm my son just independently discovered Warhammer and I feel like I'm about to relive my childhood

The benefits of remote work are undeniable. I also think it's undeniable that you can maintain high-productivity with a distributed workforce. The one thing I constantly worry about, is whether the increased social isolation contributes to decreased social trust, and that has a negative drag on mental health, and our ability to maintain a clear perspective on the world.

I am not saying I necessarily believe this to be true. But I worry about it from time to time.

The world would literally be so much better if everyone did psychedelics at least a few times in their life.

Raspberry pi is a scam, just download bitcoin core on your computer.

That people think that a banking crisis would be a boon for bitcoin is really just a sentiment I so strongly disagree with. Bitcoiners thought the US sanctions on Russia last year was going to be the final nail in the coffin of the Dollar and there was going to be a giant global exit from the dollar in 2022.

The reality is, bitcoin is just not treated as a safe haven asset by the broader market. Which doesn’t mean it won’t come to be seen as one, eventually. I happen to think it will.

But bitcoins value is *highly* dependent right now speculative investment in that future. It’s why bitcoin is more correlated with the NASDAQ than almost anything else.

To wit, a lot of bitcoin’s utility is completely dependent on it having deep exchange markets that bridge into the legacy banking system. Should this break down, it will be a headwind on bitcoin in the short term. I think a lot of the people who think bitcoin would go “the the moon” in that scenario are going to find themselves dumbfounded when the absolute opposite happens.

The rise of bitcoin is a real trend I believe in. My timescale for it is on the longer side of the equation than many. It’s why I don’t pay attention to the price and focus just on building utility around bitcoin. Because that’s how it will become a unit of account unto itself. Which it’s nowhere close to being today.

This is just about being realistic.

still baffles me how so many people shit on muun as being “bad for bitcoin” while using custodial lightning wallets and recommending noobs do the same.

muun’s approach will get priced out eventually and they know this and are building for that scenario.

what they’ve done is an interim approach, making (imo) acceptable trade-offs

Signal would be perfect if it didn't require phone numbers or at least had an option to hide numbers from other users like in Telegram.

It would be extra perfect and I would donate to the maker if they didn't integrate and try to push their own shitcoin.

What’s the best RSS reader these days?
