Not a fan of how much BTC Microstrategy is accumulating, but they seem to be doing it legitimately soooo whatcha gonna do?

Will certainly be interesting to see if Saylor takes a full hero-to-villain arc a la Roger Ver.

In my previous neighborhood I made the mistake of attempting to convince some neighbors to study #Bitcoin.

Needless to say, they were unable to be discrete and the entire neighborhood came to know my house as the #Bitcoin house.

It took a lot of damage control to reverse that, including lying about selling ("it was a good investment"), and ultimately, moving.

I no longer wear any Bitcoin swag, have any Bitcoin art in my home, or ever recommend Bitcoin IRL.

I went even further, upon introspection, deciding to eliminate all clothing logos and branding, all vehicle stickers, and anything that would signal political allegiance to any cause.

Put safety for your family above all.

I corrected #chatgpt regarding #Bitcoin volatility. ☀️

If humans die out and another civilization rises in 100 million years I bet they'll find some remnants of us.

The wildest fucking professional story of 2024 is that this old CTO of mine reached out and asked for a quote for evaluating a project he had been working on.

Turns out the guy had just basically Howard Hughes-ed himself up in his new PNW mansion and had been jam sessioning with ChatGPT for 10 months, inventing some new cryptography-centric product.

All of his notes were basically transcribed conversations with chat GPT. All of his pitch decks were AI slop. When I gave him a quote on how much equity I wanted to evaluate the work, he replied back with a ChatGPT consultation, saying I deserved way less.

I personally think the guy was already a sociopath who didn't truly believe other people actually existed, but went legit peeing-in-jars crazy once he met ChatGPT

The Hill is inciting an insurrection against a free and fair election.

Should we establish a 12/26 Committee to go after them?

Protection is always the excuse. Won't anyone think of the children?

I once had a discussion with a GNU Taler dev, who argued with a straight face that the government should have a (limited) backdoor into financial systems despite voters sometimes electing bad people because, and I’m dead serious here, the German voters would never elect someone with as authoritarian tendencies as Trump.

I guess he missed his history lessons…in literally every year of school there lol nostr:note1vhhxnpt5r75rvc9mtjnky8qmtknfu9ddemq8qynkk22wrzn7n2mqkqjzmn

Turns out these 600 gram ribeyes with butter pan sauce I've been eating had a LOT of calories

Your boy got fat, but I'm actually pretty good at losing weight when required

Every “Great Leap Forward” in progress or personal success is an illusion, it’s simply the eventual reveal of thousands of tiny steps forward.

Just take a tiny step today,

and another tomorrow,

and another the day after that.

You may not see the progress at first, but it will eventually be the footing on which that great leap shows itself to you.

Some mental frames for the coming year:

• Stay the course.

• Commit yourself to the “why,” but not the “how.”

• Don’t worry about the size of your progress, only about making a little progress every day.
