Which do you care more about - shilling your product or the freedom tech?

If you care more about the freedom tech, I ask that you do a deep dive into LoRa and call out the prominent projects in the space.

At the risk of sounding like a basic white girl. It’s best to not respond to or elevate negative emotions or energy within yourself.

Sold one coin today to put a down payment on my house

Yes I know Bitcoin will keep going up much faster than a house

But I saved it and waited 2 cycles so I can finally escape the pod I've lived in for 20 years

I've never owned a bbq or had a yard or a garage

Thank you Satoshi

Hulk stay humble, Hulk stack sats

My latest project: leather haversack

I have found that to get the gear you really want, you often have to make it yourself.

Oil tanned leather, saddle stitched by hand, hand peened solid brass rivets, eyelets and paracord for external attachment of knife and mesh radio

This will now be my daily carry bag.

My wife's gifts are special.

Let's see who can guess what this T-shirt represents 🤭🤙

GM, you make better decisions if you're married and have kids.

It is a philosophy, a political and cultural movement, a system of global coordination, an economic incentive... etc.

Excellent analysis. Excellent observation. I think the answer to your question is completely personal and I think there is no 100% correct answer. Surely ₿ it's money. But surely it's also something else as far as I'm concerned. Everyone has their own opinion but reducing ₿ to just money seems very reductive to me 🤷‍♂️

A lot of idealistic coders think that by explaining the technical reasoning, they can get people on their side of the argument.

I get why. In technical circles, there really is often one best practice and you can arrive at consensus through explaining the nuances of the issue, though that happens far less often than is believed.

But this current argument really isn't a technical one. It's a social, monetary and economic one and no amount of technical nuance-splaining is going to get consensus. I applaud the effort, but the higher level question that we're all really fighting about is this:

What is Bitcoin?

Is it money? Or is it money and ...?

Disappointed about the discourse on OP_RETURN. Lots of fear-mongering, conspiratorial thinking, and stirring up emotions. The loudest people don't want to focus on the technicals. Some influencers say it's not a technical question, it's about some sort of culture or whatever the fuck they're LARPing. Those are the most insincere and manipulative voices.

Demand a rational explanation. Don't be fooled by emotions.

🇺🇸 NO RADAR, NO RADIO, JUST CHAOS: AIR TRAFFIC BLACKOUT HITS NEWARK

For nearly 90 seconds, controllers literally couldn’t see or talk to planes headed for Newark Airport.

No radar. No radio. Just silence in the sky - and pure chaos on the ground.

Some staff were so stressed they had heart palpitations and some went on trauma leave.

Turns out, America's air traffic tech is older than your parents' CD collection.

⚡️🇫🇷 ALERT - It's official. In France, mixers and privacy coins are now considered by default as an indicator of suspicious activity. The law has been adopted.

The Rubicon has been crossed.

If you don't want to reveal your wallet holdings with every payment, you're guilty of money laundering by default.

396 votes against 68, with main opposition from the Parti de la France Insoumise ...

In other words, there are 396 people whose existence relies on the taxes of the French who have decided overnight that you're criminals by default if you use Lightning, ZKPs, and loads of other technologies that "enable the anonymization or opacification of crypto-asset transactions", even if that's not the intended use of their users.
