I may be infrequent on Nostr social media, but I appreciate you!

I want to go to there…

No because I was told months ago to Whirlpool my 1 Bitcoin into 10 1,000,000 utxos that cost me 2% and now are being orphaned by block fees.

Respect!

I appreciate this during the Season, and you play with real soul!

The Pentagon staunchly refused early attempts to create legal frameworks for drone usage because lack of clarity benefitted them.

Many critics observed this would come back to bite them when drone warfare inevitably became ubiquitous.

Welcome to ubiquitous.

Bitcoin is moving, and it’s tempting to believe that Bitcoin’s movement will be subject to the same rules as the movement of fiat assets.

And that’s likely true, give or take, for a moment or less.

But eventually Bitcoin’s movement will NOT be subject to the same rules as the movement of fiat assets.

Then the World Breaks.

I’m getting “Can’t Install” errors on Android from both .apk page and Google Play…is that perhaps because I have my own node? fyi the .apk message says “package appears to be invalid”, Google Play simply says “Can’t Install Zeus Wallet”.

If you don’t speak & read Chinese, then everything you think you know about China is propaganda.

And apparently, much of it was brought to you by Microsoft:

“Both the China Daily and the People’s Daily are widely considered propaganda tools for the Chinese Communist Party. China Daily is published by the party’s Central Propaganda Department.

…Microsoft struck the agreement with China Daily in September 2016, according to a news release from the outlet. China Daily said Microsoft would provide technology to help enable the outlet to target and profile users and establish the "Media Smart Cloud Innovation Technology Laboratory."

The mission of the "Media Smart Cloud Innovation Technology Laboratory" is unclear, although it appears related to the Chinese New Media Laboratory. A Chinese media scholar wrote in 2019 that the Chinese New Media Laboratory "provides data support for research on [China’s] international communication effects."

100%. Which imo is why the last people to grasp the transformative power of Bitcoin are precisely the people who’ve spent their lives trying to grasp the sophisticated lies of fiat money.

Hey y’all! Just a note.

I started investing in 1995.

Technical Analysis was an emerging thing, based on peeps who charted shit on paper.

Then became a meme based on peeps who charted shit with computers.

Then became teh shit based on peeps who ‘quanted’ shit via algos and very short ethernet cords to the Exchanges.

Then became a handful of trading houses w/ infinite access to the Federal Reserve.

TA/Technical Analysis is not a thing anymore. It’s dead. It’s shitcoining for inexperienced gamblers.

And the best - the BEST - aren’t spending fuck-all time talking to you.

No, because I’m assuming the QR code is normally readable, just not by Zeus app.
