At this point, they need to just close up shop. They do nothing but milk that engine and support woke bullshit.
Debugging some SQL code I wrote 4 years ago. As an old(er) programmer, I'm in that stage where I can't believe I wrote something that good.
A programmer at various ages:
15: I write awesome stuff!
25: I can't believe I used to write such bad code. NOW I'm the best!
35: I was such an idiot when I was younger! I'm never going to be a great coder, but I'm decent now.
45: I'm better than I thought I was. My experience has allowed me to write some cool code using techniques and concepts from other areas of my life.
50: I can't believe I used to write code that good. I can't believe I built some of the stuff I have.

I can't speak to how my future self will feel, but damn. I feel very old today.

I remembered seeing a nostr:npub1vzjukpr2vrxqg2m9q3a996gpzx8qktg82vnl9jlxp7a9yawnwxfsqnx9gc episode you were on a while back. You had given a presentation on a Biblical case for Bitcoin. If I'm remembering correctly, can I get a copy of that?
A friend is heading to do missions in Middle East soon. We were discussing how Bitcoin checks a lot of boxes for financing mission work.
Thoughts?
Bitcoin Evangelism
Tales of the Neverending
The Bible -- Matthew, 1 John, & James specifically
The Bitcoin Standard
The Law
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe
The Price of Tomorrow
The White Pill
Tolkien (can't pick one)
The Bible is a grouping of documents that contain various styles of writing, including allegory, poetry, prophecy, and history. I'm uncomfortable ascribing the word "mythology" to the Bible as a whole, as it waters down the value of its truths.
"Don't spend your bitcoin" & "We need a circular economy" sound like they're conflicting statements. They're not.
If you can pay for something in Bitcoin, use a Bitcoin-only onramp like Strike (my current favorite), Swan, or Bitcoin Well to buy the Bitcoin and then send it from there.
The reason I like Strike--thank you nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle!--so much for this is that this is all easily done over Lightning.
Yes, settlement for the Bitcoin purchase takes a while--thanks fiat world!--which means that you will need to keep "enough" Bitcoin in your Strike account to cover the actual payment.
For me, keeping a "wallet" amount of money on Strike perpetually is worth the ease of use and the ability to contribute (in my small way) to beginning the circular economy in Bitcoin.
(If only they were giving me "DCA" credit for my automatic paycheck buys...)

Every time I see another story like this, it makes my blood boil.
It's surprising that this is still on Youtube:
