Bitcoin hedge wizard. Do not consult me unless as a last resort.

Liberalism failed. Not just boomer social liberalism, but classical Western liberalism. How do you have a system of expanding liberal market wealth without giving rise to an administrative state that demands more and more simultaneous social liberal expansionism?

The problem with libertarians is that they mistook acceptance for tolerance. The progressives intentionally conflate the two for destructive purposes, but for libertarians, I think it comes from an earnest belief that liberal social expansionism is possible under fiscal conservatism.

At the libertarian meetup, you will find people who have given more thought to sex with alien races than they have their kids' college fund. Easily some of the most useless asswipes on earth

Bitcoin vs "crypto" is just a waiting game. In previous cycles, major Silicon Valley players were able to accrue massive war chests by printing bullshit useless tokens, and now we are just waiting for that money to unwind as they blow it on promotion, management, other scams, art installations, bribes, Greenpeace activists, etc...

How much cost can I shave off by potatoing it down.

Patiently waiting for my NerdQAxe+ to arrive today.

Ancap's coming here, expecting to finally discover the massive, lost trove of ancaps that the universe has been hiding from them. Sorry, champ. You're it.

🧠 MINDFULNESS: THE $50B SECRET WEAPON FOR BUSINESS & BURNOUT

WHY CEOS ARE HOOKED

Mindfulness isn’t a trend—it’s a science-backed performance hack. Companies like Google and Aetna report 20% fewer burnout cases and 17% productivity boosts in mindful teams. But there’s a twist: it doesn’t work for everyone.

📊 MINDFULNESS = MEASURABLE ROI

1️⃣ STRESS SLAYER

• Cuts job demands by 23% and boosts work-life balance by 31% (study: 40 managers).

• Teams recover faster, driving 15% higher engagement.

2️⃣ BRAIN UPGRADE

• MRI scans prove mindfulness thickens memory-boosting brain areas.

• It improves decision-making, ditching sunk-cost bias {2x faster.}

3️⃣ BIAS BUSTER

• Just 10 mins of meditation reduces age bias by {27%} in corporate teams.

⚠️ THE MINDFULNESS MYTH

• It backfires in fake-smile job (e.g., customer service)—heightens emotional fatigue.

• Overuse in leaders? Leads to dodged accountability.

SOLUTION: Pair mindfulness with role-specific skills like empathy training.

🚀 5 HACKS THAT WORKED FOR ME

1️⃣ Micro-Meditate: Start with 7 mins and build it up = more focus + creativity + more stress stamina.

2️⃣ Automate Tasks: Free your brain for big ideas.

3️⃣ Gratitude Journaling: Lowers burnout risk by 20+%.

4️⃣ Mindful Meetings: Improve decisions via tone + body language awareness.

5️⃣ Team Breathers: Shared rituals = 40% better collaboration. Especially when working with frustrated stressed confused colleagues.

TL;DR: Mindfulness works, but like everything, only if done right. Start with 5 minutes today. Your bottom line will thank you.

Remember when people just worked.

Alex could have easily defended many of the claims, and whittled it down to something financially manageable, if he just bothered to listen to lawyers and descend I to his paranoid delusion that he'd already lost. He did it to himself.

I don't care what happens to Roger Ver, but I won't be sad if he dies in prison.

Alex got 1 billion bc his case was a default, against all advice from lawyers. And the jury was like "Well shit, if he's not even going to try to put up a fight, let's male it a billion."

That's not like Roger.

The two biggest zaps I ever received were

* me just straight up saying I lost money in an ecash mint

* me providing useful advice about GrapheneOS+Amethyst keyboard issues
