I can honestly say that while I agree with the overall sentiment you’ve shared; I don’t think it’s quite that binary.

Sure, sanctions didn’t collapse reliance on the dollar… but the BRICS deal could have started the dollars global demise.

Which segues into Russia, and most BRICS members, unofficially relying on BTC and Gold as stores of actual value off the balance sheets.

I do see a world, and not so far from now, where a good chunk of the globe used Bitcoin as an actual means of exchange or value token.

What will determine this, as you said, is the utility and infrastructure built around it, of course.

Hell of a time to be alive.

I’ve traveled as a full stack/blockchain digital no and for two years. I settled in London, the opposite of cheap, but an amazing and incomparable city.

To your point, Queens is a decent place to live; I prefer Brooklyn, though. Biased, I was born and raised there.

Globally, with little money, Budapest is an amazing place to live for next to nothing.

Bangkok is better. I had the best four months there, and it’s cheaper than anything you will get in Europe - also gorgeous in the right areas. Highly, highly recommended.

Porto, and Lisbon, are dope cities and pretty affordable.

If you’re willing to live in Queens, though… consider a borough of London, man. It’s just incredible. If you’re in Zone 2, or on the edges of Zone 1, you can get a good flat for £1k… and the city is a 2x of NYC, IMO.

Good luck. Here if you have questions. ✌️

When Nancy Pelosi buys the dip... it's time.

Hmm. Interesting. I will say that, IMO, that means less than nothing... but thank you for taking the time to answer.

KuCoin will likely ignore it, but who even knows anymore.

I literally do not give a shit about price action. I don't care if all the banks collapse. I don't care if interest rates are in double digits for a year straight.

Ideals were responsible for the Genesis Block; ideals will see this through to the end.

Savvy men and women will survive and even thrive in any market environment. We'll use our free time to build a better game for everyone.

We are dangerous.

Ether was actually ruled a security? Like, the legal precedent was set or established?

SBV just issued the most non-statement statement in the fucking history of finance.

Priceless

I have to post this here…

A favorite client asked me to rebuild an influencer’s business - frontend and backend, assets and branding, funnels and ad strategy.

If this was any other client, I’d have told them no way, but this is the one person I will always say yes to.

This influencer’s product is teaching women how to take men’s money and live life for free.

Am I wrong for burying all kinds of subliminal messages in the metadata and alt text?

Nothing you’ve said here isn’t factual.

A lot of us are waiting for the same thing. We’re also ready to do it ourselves.

I’m a full stack developer that’s been building, experimenting, and growing in both BTC and ETH for 8 years.

There are simply things that can not exist on bitcoin, regardless of Lightning, and that’s not a bad thing. For finance to be truly decentralized, ETH, and thereby crypto, need strong developers who aren’t going to swoon over a few dollars.

Crypto VCs for the most part invest in junk. Dev is mostly focused on junk, but there are a few of us working on real tools and systems to change crypto and life for real.

Don’t lump us all together as shit coin Devs. We work too hard.

Damn, that’s so dumb. Haha

If there was ever a time...

That's not fair, not at all. Delegate some of the work to friends or users who do care. The vast majority of us are developers at this point, and I think there are plenty of things you could ask for help with.

I've worked alone on a massive, almost legacy, project before... it was the longest and fastest year of my life. I did so because of loyalty to the Founder who'd lost his way. The best thing I did was ask for help. Really.

He's going to be hanging on to this idea for the next decade as the world is built around him. I really can't stand to see people admit they're out of their depth. Smart dude. Made a huge difference in tech/social media... but that time has come and gone. He's never going to understand what we want, why we build, or how we're leading.

Every single time something like this happens, and it's happened a few times with Evergrande or MBS crisis or whatever, corn is cheap. That's the moral of the story. 🌽

Agh, I've been thinking about doing the same, actually.

I JUST got here. I'm a fan, but it's messy. Haha. A lot to fix. I'm excited to see where it goes.

Brilliant

SVB is done. Signature is either next or already happening behind the scenes. Hang on.
