Truely extraordinary.. Mind blowing 😀👍
Thanks..
Interesting. The US has to provide USD and even more importantly UST to the world as the global reserve issuer (due to/since the establishment of petro-dollar system). This means it has to run deficits (= UST issuance), which can than be monetized by Fed and Banks (create USD liquidity). Hence, constant deficits are a feature not a bug.
Gm.. Good coffee in good porcelain 😊👍 enjoy.

They all have perverted incentives that are anti-freedom and hence anti-human.

Ahh-Ahh-Uhh. GM folks. 🎶 https://nostr.build/av/2d77051c9596e17a5aa20a882fe50b0e804b1ce6d9555a551c328830a0fe89bc.mov

Good morning 🌞.. ☕.
Enjoy Sunday.
Great video with Andreas Antonopouls about the Ledger issue. Worth watching.
Tldr: Don't rush to switch hardware wallets. It's not an immediate issue, especially for Nano S users.

Me too. Ans since proton has apps for phones it's not only more secure & private but also easy and convenient 😊.
"Encryption is a tool for thought.
Most people say, 'I trust Google. Google's really big, almost too big to fail, and they've got some of the best engineers in the world. I'm not worried necessarily that my data will leak.' But what you should be worried about is the effect on quality that non-encrypted platforms have on your thinking.
... You'll find that the way you talk on Discord is probably different from the way you talk on Signal. On Discord, even if you're privately DMing with someone, you always have that thought or fear in the back of your mind that what you say here can be, theoretically, resurfaced by someone who's not really authorized to see this message. And that changes how you talk, it changes how you think.
Whereas on Signal, because it has really hardcore privacy and security and you can auto-delete messages, you find that you're able to be your true self. And you're much more creative, much more witty, much more thoughtful..
The software you use dictates your culture. Your mind's culture.
... This is an aspect of privacy that most people don't really consider. You definitely give up a piece of yourself when you don't use encrypted and private platforms."

I'm rather worried about Google, Apple, Microsoft amd others that either own software and hardware or are deeply integrated into third party hardware.
Their encryption may prevent third parties and governments from accessing your data but they always could access data before it's encrypted. Google, Apple, MS are US companies, so the US has acess to all data too.
Key technologies are concentrated in a few companies with ties to the largest intellegence and military appartus.
Imo we need more diversification based on open source software.
Not sure that helps. The issue is that their software can't be audited. If it was at least open source you would see any potential backdoor.
Their recent announcement of the recovery service, think what you want, does not change that issue but has only brought attention to it.
Wow.. Looks delicious. 😋😋
Enjoy your meal and a good start into the day.
😄😄😄 .. Good morning..☕☕
Yes, I think so.
USD and UST are the reserve currency and asset and prime collateral of the global fin system. The Eurodollar system (USD outside the US mainland) is particularly dependent on USD/UST to provide credit. If the USD rises it will curtail also credit/collateral in the Eurodollar system hence affecting economic activity/growth.
In essence, in global trade companies have to show up with USD to get stuff. Even if the business is running profitably the fact that it needs "exogenious" USD can mean liquidity issues if it can't USD.
Imo credit aka money printing does not equal growth. Growth is the result of innovation and efficiency gains (basend on ideas, technologies and socioecomic circumstances) in the economy. Money can not drive that; it just measures economic activity in a common standard (demoniation).
Great to hear you got a node running as well 👍
I got an umbrel and use the umbrel LN wallet. Works for me.
Gooood morning 😊. Have a great 🌞 day and enjoy your ☕

👍 prohibiting to fail means prohibiting success and hence innovation.
Great. 👍👍 Another node making the network even more secure.
Hope it has completed by now.
