Pipas delivered to the house, paid with #bitcoin using a Nostr app.

Sometimes I’m still just randomly amazed that the public completely accepted that all small business was legally forced to shut down while all the giant corporate stores were allowed to stay open during lockdown.

⚡️🤡🇫🇷 NEW - Real estate company "Entreparticuliers" plans to buy 1 million euros of Ethereum for its strategic reserve

The French "micro strategy"...

Following its announcement of its transformation into an Ethereum Treasury Company, Entreparticuliers reports that a program to purchase a first tranche of one million euros of Ethereum has been initiated since April 29 and will close on May 29.

"The current structuring of the capital contribution is conditional on approval of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth resolutions by the Annual General Meeting on June 18, for a maximum amount of one hundred and fifty million euros.

Also - what city would nostr be?

Your computer specs? Which model? Can it get fairly up to date info from the internet still?

Basically 95%+ of people who can afford starlink live in places with infinitely better and cheaper internet. Thinking you can finance thousands of satellites to orbit earth from revenue from people who are too poor to have broadband or proper infrastructure is the equivalent of thinking electric cars or dogecoin are not a retarded idea.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.
