Cold plunge and sauna is not a substitute for lifting and running.

Ok Nostr what are your predictions for 2025? I’ll go first:

Drones attack happens on US soil. Multiple people killed.

Satellite or orbital warfare becomes a recognized theater of war. (We will see countries blow things up from satellites)

Bitcoin price rips above $300,000. G7 country announces national bitcoin mining project- BTC becomes publicly used as cross-border payment settlement.

A dozen large eggs costs more than $7.00 for some period of time in several major metropolitan areas.

USDA will relinquish some control on building local beef slaughter facilities, it will take 3+ years for the effects to be seen. Beef prices rise by 30% during 2025

FDA, FBI department of education have workforce reduced by 30%

Diddy and Epstein files released; billions of dollars of star equity evaporates over night.

The rise of conservative movie production houses.

US deportations of illegal migrants causes the left to assert Federalist perspectives to thwart deportation efforts - states rights becomes mainstream democrat talking point

Canada elects Pierre Poilievre, repeals gasoline carbon tax and makes deal for US trade.

Mainstream news will distance itself from the concept of climate change. New threat will be given a name and elevated as the challenge of humanity.

Africa will develop energy infrastructure, more than doubling capacity. Most will be purchased by bitcoin mining companies.

Europe has several large scale terrorism experiences with Muslim migrants killing Europeans. Deportation becomes more popular.

Bird flu gets a lot of hype. Doesn’t live up to COVID.

Bullshit comment censoring- Spotify protecting my listeners

What is Olas?

I’ve come in and out of nostr for years… what’s your advice for how to get integrated and find other ways to use this outside of thinking of it like Twitter?

Well gents we may just get a 100K Christmas this year!

Me and Alan have followed each other for years now

What was the first time you realized you were in the flow state?

I’ll go first: making an excel spreadsheet.

I saw this doom scrolling in bed this morning. Got me up for my run. Thanks!

American Airlines just grounded all flights due to system wide failure.

Something anti-GMO activists never realized: Monsanto benefited tremendously from all the protests and rabble rousing.

Every time their protests made a government bureaucrat or politician nervous, Monsanto would just say “if it will make everyone more comfortable we will add some more tests, paperwork and years of field trials… it will costs us $10M per year and we’re willing to add 3 more years…

All they were doing was building a giant regulatory moat around them. Sure it cost $30M more but those rules applied to everyone. So all new entrants would have to pay $130M to get anything new through…

So Monsanto could go to young snappy startups and say “we see you won’t be able to get through regulations- what if you sold your company/tech to us…”

All the regulation forced mergers so that there were eventually only 6 seed companies and now only 4 and only one (corteva) is owned as a US company.

I hear this one 🫡

I think it’s more complicated than that. Farmers don’t want to keep their corn seed now that they use hybrids and the trade off of having GMOs and well bred soybeans is that you either have to pay for all of the R&D with the first (and last) bag you sell or you can have them agree to not regrow the seeds and space the costs out year after year.

There are drawbacks to this decision but that’s why they did it that way

Paging nostr:npub1j7ggarzcs6juvzfa567lkmdtxq3rgx4fww8uqpvm80d6lt3r5sqs82yt3v what you got?

Been following Shawn for some time.

Maybe Shawn has some good follow recommendations?

It used to be “save your pennies” but that became a joke due to inflation. But I will teach my kids to save their satoshis that lesson will have deep meaning and value.

Are they recording the interview in a gym - WTF is all that background noise?

I need to follow some good accounts.

Who is someone I wouldn’t find on my own…?

“insincere socialising” ouch- what a horrible existence- but great turn of phrase
