Good morning. Housing is a consumer good and falls in price over the long term when measured in real terms and real money.

I had em made from the generic version on ideasarelikeflames.com

Really looking forward to the day non-cloud / privacy preserving versions of these devices are production scale and out of the box for my non technical friends and family.

Good morning. Hyperbitcoinization is just millions of people getting rugged over and over again until they learn to use the tools.

WORLDCOIN IS STUPID AND WILL FAIL SPECTACULARLY.

With the important stuff out of the way…a few thoughts about ALTman’s Worldcoin video that’s trending on the shitbirdX app.

1) The video appears to be taken in Shanghai (Shanghai Tower is visible in the background)

2) This is NOT a long line both of objectively and CERTAINLY by Chinese standards…it’s like 150 people max. I’ve seen THOUSANDS of people lined up for a sneaker release in SH. This line is lame.

3) The CCP almost certainly has no idea someone brought in one of these dumb ass orbs (they probably told customs it was something for an Xbox lol). But whoever brought it is going to get a nice tea date with the SH Public Security Bureau, shit, maybe event the BJPSB and MSS as well…

4) China will not engage with Worldcoin AT ALL. Why would they? They already have Wechat and Alipay fully co-opted, why let laowai ALTman in on their surveillance stack?

5) If the Chinese Govt DID go along with Worldcoin, shit would be mandatory and sign up would, minimally, be a touch more official than an orb on the ground on an unlit street somewhere in Shanghai…

6) ALTman probably told his Twitter intern (maybe a Chinese kid at Stanford) to give him footage of a “long line” to hype up Worldcoin and buddy just had someone send him a video of “people observed standing in a line in Shanghai” from one his Wechat groups - easy enough to edit in the eye orb at the end.

7) ALTman quotes “someone signing up every 8 seconds” because that sounds like it must be a big number to midwits…that’s around 10800 people per day. Again, sounds like alot if you don’t understand scale. At this rate, we’re looking at 2030 YEARS (not the year 2030) to onboard the planet’s 8B people…

MORAL: EVERYTHING ON TWITTER/X IS BULLSHIT AND SAM ALTMAN IS A CLOWN

Beautiful summary

$4.33 for a black coffee in Charlotte this morning. No one blinks an eye while hyperinflation is happening in real time.

For anyone who was looking for the Blackrock report on #Bitcoin allocation...

(h/t to nostr:npub1c37zfj85qq9g8a00e5hhatdw47u0j4phqf7lxd2068qp6lu9ykpshddaf4)

Using a number of various models/risk tolerances they create different frames for investing in BTC. Toward the end of the paper they suggest a 9.5% allocation as optimal.

9.5% of only Blackrock's investment capital is roughly $1 Trillion

...

The current BTC market cap is $570 Billion. Among other banks and financial institutions, that should raise some eyebrows to say the least. 👀

I downloaded and have it available for anyone who was looking for it 👇🏻

Feeling bullish on bitcoin and bitcoiners. Talking in person at local meetups is so much better than online. Need to find a way to increase frequency.

800,000 is a lot of blocks, but it's also very few blocks.

#Nashville folks, where's the good eats near Broadway?

I'll be out and about with my wife, wearing a Citadel Dispatch hat. Come say hello if you see us.

Gm, round numbers are beautiful

I'm in Charlotte, NC, but have been before, and it's definitely worth the voyage. Thanks!
