Should I buy a used raspberri pi for a node?

Only two countries have a GDP higher than BlackRock:

- USA: $21.43 trillion

- China: $14.34 trillion

With BlackRock's GDP at $9.09 trillion.

BlackRock's involvement in #Bitcoin  is a big deal.

144 billion cubic metres of natural gas are drained or flared worldwide every year because it is not worth building a pipeline or collecting the gas in any other way.

Flaring natural gas releases methane into the atmosphere, which is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Since #Bitcoin miners can go where the energy source is, this otherwise wasted energy can be used. In fact, the operators of these oil deposits have a financial incentive to use this energy.

This wasted energy alone is enough to power the entire #Bitcoin network several times over.

Mining #Bitcoin is good for the environment because it gives companies an economic incentive to use stranded or wasted energy.

i care.

it's highly useless behavior, especially if you are the only one wearing amongst a crowd of ppl that dont since it doesn't protect you but should protect spreading to other vulnerable ppl.

but the mega experiment is already over.. it was a behavioral experiment implemented w mandates to control (alledged) covid surges.

but.. maybe the '23 mask wearers think they have covid or a dumb test (that only gives the gov data to play with) gave them a false positive or whatever.. but like.. just stay home if you feel sick? why need test validation if nothing changes ab the outcome?

nothing makes sense ab ppl wearing a mask here.

so yes, i care, i personally do not love to see it.

it keeps mass covid delusion active, it signals there's something to be afraid off in the air, also ppls facial expressions and nonverbal feedback is lost - it's a cold sight.

and a dystopian reminder.. if you come to accept it was merely one of the behavioral experiments from the WEF and WHO rulebook to see how far they could go.. and yes, dealing with reminder ofc is our personal responsibility.

From what I can tell, just from what I have read over the years, some of the biggest names in the global government conspiracy narrative like the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the Templars, had absolutely nothing to do with any of that in the beginning. The Illuminati was an underground anti-monarchy political movement. The Freemasons were an early trade union. And the Templars were a security force for hire which wound up being owed so much money by the King of France that he labeled them all as apostates of the Church so he could burn them instead of pay them.

This is not to say that organizations with that level of secrecy and wealth were not infiltrated by some very unsavory people with creepy ass plans. But its interesting that many things dont start out that way. Its just that the parasitic class are attracted to power and secrecy like a moth to a flame. Or the Nazgul to the Ring.

“Now I have become death, and the destroyer of worlds.”

Who said this?

On my way to Riga! There is a #Bitcoin meetup happening in 1 hour 👀

Income tax is not the same as wealth tax though

I am curious, why not go to a country that levies zero wealth tax?

Uhhh, its not a debt because that company would have had to agree to issue a debt, usually with terms and an interest rate. After you get slapped with a fine there is no requirement for the company to accept legal tender from you as repayment, I think.

What's the one song you had on repeat the last month?

It's pretty comical seeing people on bird-site complain about XYZ reasons why they won't use Nostr. Meanwhile, they sit in a walled garden controlled by daddy Elon who is desperately driving the platform towards a global platform for identity, banking, social etc.. They will sit there and feed Elon their data and eyeballs meanwhile complaining the open source, upgradable, non-KYC platform isn't yet perfect for their needs. But we all know why they aren't here yet.. They influencers primarily concerned only about themselves and maintaining their audience.

Years ago when I first saw it: Why? 🤦‍♂️🧐

This makes so much sense.

Every black hole has a corresponding white hole and that’s where our Big Bang came from. A never ending cycle.

How come as teenagers we loved going to the mall even though we had no money? 🤔
