ER Doc bringing the medical community to bitcoin.

Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake!

Susie with the dick picks.

There’s a trauma eponym called the Throckmorton’s sign.

Do you just paste in the note ID, like this?

If FTX, Voyager, and Celsius had actually custodied the bitcoin they were supposed to have on their books, I think Plan B’s original model probably would have held.

Those criminal enterprises may have ‘reset’ the S2F model back a cycle because of the demand they absorbed.

The SEC denial of a spot bitcoin ETF kept the barrier high for new people to come into bitcoin.

The paper bitcoin fraud at the bankrupt companies stole from people who had already purchased bitcoin.

The first is annoying.

The second is evil.

Many people around the world (myself included) had a very painful NYKNYC lesson.

It set us back both financially and emotionally.

Time will heal these wounds.

It is my sincere hope that no one suffers loss from trusting counterparties going forward.

Innovations in self-custody continue, and new Bitcoiners also have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past.

We also need to hold the criminals accountable for their past deeds.

It is mind-boggling to me that people from these companies as well as Terra and 3AC are not already being prosecuted. Not only that, the 3AC bros are raising money for a new venture!?

We need to do better than this.

From a medical perspective:

Agree (although not sure what TCM is). Randomized controlled trials show acupuncture doesn’t work.

They also show that the placebo effect does work.

Also, dry needling does work, which is essentially the same needles as acupuncture, but deeper and into the muscles.

This makes me thing that successful acupuncture results are really a combination of placebo effect and muscle stimulation.

FWIW, I have tried both acupuncture and dry needling and dry needling is vastly superior.

If RaspPi4 was easy to find and at original cost, this would be more OK. Plus ppl build the RPi computer which (I think) gives them some more ownership/pride of the device.

Definitely buying an older desktop/miniPC is faster/easier, and likely even cheaper with RPi4 scarcity.

Bitcoin Lesson:

Bitcoin has no rulers.

People get caught up with charismatic leaders. It’s probably something genetically hardwired in our brains.

Some of those charismatic leaders

that we followed will NOT be benevolent.

Bitcoins has no rulers to become maleficent.

Humans get caught up in the lies by these malfeasant rulers. I believed the lies of Alex Mashinsky or nearly two years, even when people like @mikealfred and @coryklippsten called him out.

I wasn’t alone, plenty of others believed the scam as well. Billions of dollars & hundreds of employees were at Celsius.

During 2022 scams were exposed by Do Kwon, Kyle Davies & Su Zhu, SBF & Friends, and more.

The Bitcoin OGs were telling us: Bitcoin only!

Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins!

Eventually the next set of scammers will be exposed, and the believers blinded by charismatic leaders get rekt.

Faketoshi and Richard Heart have plenty of supporters on Twitter.

It’s hard to know how many of these anon supporters are real people, but

unfortunately certainly some of them are, and they will get rekt as well.

Bitcoin gives us rules without rulers.

The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that you are not someone else’s exit liquidity.

Are people who saw this truth early Genius? Lucky? Industrious? Studious? Scammers?

TBH, there’s probably some of all of that, but Bitcoin’s history is full of people lamenting when they sold.

For the most part, this is buy and hold technology.

If you can get to the state of confidence and Zen where you want the price to go down so that you can buy more, you are on your way towards becoming a Bitcoiner.

I skipped a bunch of the middle seasons and picked up at the end. Missed a little, but it still made sense.

I don’t follow this math.

In your scenario, are you selling sats everyday to buy your 3 daily eggs for the rest of your life?

As the world turns to bitcoin, demand will increase, and price will rise, so you need fewer and fewer sats per day to purchase your eggs, correct?

3 bitcoin seems plenty to me to buy all your meals for the rest of your life in this projection, not just 3 eggs.
