I'll keep playing with my Bitcoins, thank you.

I'm not working on a product like your parmaDrive. You don't have anything to worry about!

Man, sometimes I wonder if something is sending the same signals to the different parts of the planet we inhabit.

I've been spending time on a LUKS automation project too for some time now.

It's a great feature with the heartbeat! I did not think of that.

Part of the feature you're talking about could be geofencing maybe?

Heartbeat is not bad, but it is a method of detection or signalling something is alive. What about dead man's switch?

For sure. It lowers the bar to start becoming productive in a new field. Productive minds are incredibly boosted by AI well used!

Do we have the exact block height when Ross was set free?

In a way I think you can say that other countries aids the U.S.

When the U.S. deals with its unfunded liabilities through monetary expansion, it lead to inflation not just in America but also abroad.

Even if it isn't intentionally, is a side effect of how interconnected global economies are.

SpaceX is about to eclipse America's discovery by opening up an entirely new economy.

With all these new resources and productivity from space, nation states will become a thing of the past up there.

This new private market will need some serious Austrian economy type money.

And the profits made up there will be poured into Bitcoin. So an increased evaluation of Bitcoin doesn't even have to decrease the value of other assets.

Bitcoin is the new Manhattan for storing value, sure

But in ~3 halvings it might also be to the dollar what the dollar was to the pound.

This is ENORMOUS.

Is there any advantage to a lever-action rifle compared to a traditional bolt-action rifle?

I only have experience with bolt and full/semi auto, but it does seem nice 🙂

Czech also has half decent gun regulations.

Once again it may be the key to the salvation of Europe.

Czechoslovakia was a key player in the fall of the Iron Curtain, primarily through its peaceful Velvet Revolution in 1989. The movement, characterized by mass protests and civil resistance, led to the collapse of the communist regime.

History rhymes.

The Bitcoin Event Horizon

$70K may be the event horizon for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin crosses this mark, $MSTR's substantial holdings could elevate their market cap, setting the stage for S&P 500 inclusion. This pivotal moment is akin to crossing a black hole's event horizon – a fundamental shift in market dynamics awaits.

🌌 $MSTR's market value mirrors Bitcoin's performance. As Bitcoin rises, so does the likelihood of $MSTR joining the S&P 500, signaling a deep interconnection between the company's fortunes and Bitcoin's market trajectory.

🌀 Surpassing $70K, Bitcoin positions $MSTR on the threshold of the S&P 500, heralding a new era where Bitcoin's influence on traditional markets becomes increasingly pronounced and unavoidable.

💥 Index funds, known for their long-term investment approach, will likely hold onto $MSTR post S&P 500 inclusion. This introduces a novel class of Bitcoin HODLers, fostering more stable and sustained demand for both $MSTR and Bitcoin, thus amplifying their market impact.

🔮 The potential inclusion of $MSTR in the S&P 500 isn't just a win for the company; it's a watershed moment for Bitcoin, potentially solidifying its role in mainstream finance. We're on the cusp of a new financial epoch, marked by the blending of traditional market structures with the burgeoning world of Bitcoin

Looks nice!

What's the specs on that beast?

Since I have some serious space constraints I went for a used laptop with i7 CPU/64GB, with a mobile RTX 5000 / 16GB VRAM. Not the fastest, but combined with a used 3090 24GB eGPU it can load quite big models.

All for about 2600 USD.

Things like this is why I hope I'll manage to sell my house next week, to rent, travel and stack sats 😂

Selling my stuff!

I've started selling almost all of my belongings to get more sats. An electric Makita chainsaw is first to go.

Here's my first listing at #satsforcrap

I never actually managed to sell anything for Bitcoin before. Hit buy or hit me up if you can meet me in Trosa, #Sweden to buy face2face

There's a ton of untapped energy here in the north of Scandinavia.

EU bureaucrats really messed up the energy market with their electricity certificates, subsidizing wind turbines like there's no tomorrow.

Some dodgy "subsidy chasers" are exploiting the system set up by these big thinkers. They've broken the market price signals, making equipment seem like a good deal for the first few years.

Everyone's acting shocked now! When it's windy, prices drop and they're suddenly begging for huge energy storage subsidies.

This reminds me of Soviet factories cranking out only left shoes when people obviously need a pair. Hopefully, these wind parks can help balance the grid using shipping containers of mining rigs. Has anyone done the math considering the cost of mining equipment?

Just love Jeffs viewpoints and his book. In fact I think I will add it to the list of books I re-read yearly.

Other books on that list is

The Sovereign individual

Richest man in Babylon

The fourth turning

Open source is gonna win this AI race. To keep ourselves safe from bad AIs, we need strong personal AI tools. GPT4All sounds like it can do ChatGPT stuff without sharing our data with OpenAI. That's the next project I'll look into.

I've yet to encounter a convincing argument as to why Monero doesn't offer superior anonymity compared to Bitcoin.

Consider this: if your life hinged on the absolute anonymity of a single transaction, which cryptocurrency would you instinctively opt for? Perhaps you'd consider tumbling your Bitcoin through a mixer like Whirlpool, distributing it across numerous Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs). However, with recent escalating transaction fees, this approach has become less appealing and considerably complex.

Indeed, Bitcoin is akin to a black hole - its massive gravitational pull will eventually engulf everything in its vicinity. Yet, it's important to remember that, despite its immense potential, Bitcoin isn't a one-size-fits-all solution just yet. Bitcoin will, in my view, eventually excel in the realm of privacy, but as it stands, it hasn't reached that point.
