This is a good short story on how to not get engagement on Nostr.

In Cairo, they built a ton of elevated roadways throughout the city over the past 5-6 years to relieve traffic congestion, which was (and still is) among the worst in the world.

And they often put shops under those bridges. Cafes, fast food joints, etc. I think in most countries this would not be allowed due to safety codes, but I dunno. I just don’t really see it elsewhere.

This one is a little carnival under a bridge. Rides for kids.

What are some of the best movies of the past five years?

Trump came out better than Elon in this discussion, imho.

Minimal gaffes from Trump. He strategically took the moderate approach here. Elon fished for outlier opinions and controversies but Trump used Akido on them and dominated the discussion. One might like or dislike Trump's positions but in this particular appearance the gaffes were minimal and the positions were purposely moderated and careful.

This was basically the opposite of the Elon and Jordon Peterson interview. In that interview, Elon clearly entertained Jordan and outmaneuvered him. Elon barely wanted to be there. Jordon looked silly.

In this interview with Trump, Elon basically cucked himself for Trump. He knows where his business bread is buttered: Xi, Modi, Erdogan, and whichever US president has momentum.

But meanwhile, for those who say I am biased against Elon, I'm on *his* side for the EU and UK activity against Twitter. Elon is absolutely right there. The only proper American response there is to fuck off. And his memes have been great against Thierry Breton and others. UK and EU should get rekt on that front. I'm pro-Elon there, which is not common outside of SpaceX which is great.

But the proliferation of Nostr would beat all of that latter part regarding communication. It's good to push back and meme against Thierry Breton. Tell him to get rekt. It's even better to make Thierry Breton irrelevant by making it so that he can't send his Karen-like letters to anyone, since Nostr has no CEO, as we swarm around him and invite Britons and Europeans to join us.

Anyway, good evening.

Sometimes tradfi people tell me that bitcoin is "captured" now that there are ETFs and such.

When that happens, I usually tell them to give me a lightning address and I'll send them some anon sats. None of them has ever taken me up on that offer. I gave this dude an opportunity for 1,234,567 sats or like $700 and he went dark.

I don't think they know how to use wallets. They are only think-bois.

On Bitcoin Magazine’s YouTube channel, Saylor’s keynote has more views than Trump’s.

387k vs 267k

I don’t really have a point, other than it’s mildly surprising. I think more people probably saw the Trump speech because the live-watching numbers were huge, but it seems that the interest in people later watching the Trump speech isn’t too high.

Back during the subprime mortgage housing bubble, house prices increased at a much more rapid pace than money supply.

But in this more recent pandemic-liquidity house price surge, it has come with a lot of money supply growth.

That's part of the reason I'm not too bearish on house prices in nominal terms. I think a lot of those prices are going to grind kind of sideways for a while as other things run hot.

Alright, after watching 5+ hours of Dune part one and two, I’m going to need someone to explain to me why this is a good movie.

Whatever other people are seeing, I am not seeing it.
