Dead 🤣

The easiest way to tell if someone doesn’t have a bag is if they are not happy about when it pumps and what their short term predictions are

Reminder for the uninitiated 😭

Not sure. Is it something I plug in to my TV? Like an Atari?

What’s the first song you would play on this

Sounded like a joke.

It still sounds like a joke today.

It be like dat

It's interesting. Money is becoming less and less important in politics, at least to get elected, largely because the money goes toward TV ads and volunteers on the ground visiting houses. Kamala had tons of that, and it didn't make much of a difference.

What is now moving the needle is personality, conversations, ability to get attention. We're moving from a gate-kept world where access was everything, to a world where people can more directly judge through long-form podcasts and such. It's no longer about establishment stooges, but about people that have ideas, the ability to verbalize them and show that they can do those things.

In the coming years, we'll see a lot of people that get to political positions that previously would have been kept out. And it'll be platforms like this which will enable them.

i think i have to hold my hands up and say on this one i'm not a good arbiter of what is fair.

This video was unique in many ways.

I'm so so biased by my experience with creating this and the risk.

This video has actually been checked by lawyers (and i'm told that i still might get sued... fuck);

it will burn relationships with people in the space and might get me crypto-cancelled (lol but seriously but it isn't good for my relationship with cointelegraph, for example), there's a fair bit of skill in what i do to bring this video together as I should really have been thrown out of hte conference for being such a nuisance...

and then there was the cost of animation fees, editing fees, the months and months i spent working on it (i visited the conf in May)...

But i feel it's a necessary piece of work and something i can show to ANYONE who says "yo i'm thinking about this new crypto project, X".

The idea is that anyone can send it to a new crypto entrant to show what's behind the curtain.. and ideally they grok that bitcoin just isn't like that!

All this to say, i reckon a view should have a higher price than usual. So I would say, whatever people think is a fair, high price?

sorry i don't wanna squirm out the question, but high to me might be horribly high to some people and chump change to others.

Something that makes my skin crawl that I’ve ran into multiple times is when I talk with people who work for the state in some capacity is how they make light of the about the absoulte dysfunctional shitshow that they participate in. It’s always some BS they spout like, “yeah, I just do my job,” or “figuring that out is above my pay grade” or the worst is, “At least its job security”

They actully don’t give a shit about what they do and just want to make sure they get a pay check. And while I empathize on some level, like this is your actual one life you get, and you’re willing to waste 40 to 60 hours a week of it just to get some money? You could actually do meaningful work, build things and help people, and likely even make more money if you were willing to take that ‘risk’ over the ‘security’ of a guaranteed job from the state, but that is just a bridge too far, eh?

Unpopular opinion: copy pasting code is fine

You are not bullish enough

🚨 Block 879613 on Bitcoin, mined by MARA Pool, featured Donald Trump's face.

This tribute to the 47th president of the U.S., created via OP_RETURN, was cut short before the block was finalized, but part of it still made it onto the blockchain.

What’s your take on it?

I’m completely fascinated by Bitcoin.

It’s something that occupies my thoughts all the time: I go to sleep and wake up thinking about it. During workouts, I’m always listening to Bitcoin podcasts. I love reviewing my setup, and sometimes I find myself mentally reciting my private key at the most unexpected moments.

Is it normal for a beginner to spend so many hours immersed in this universe? Do those who have been in the space for longer go through the same thing — wondering how they didn’t discover it earlier and how this technology changes everything?

I don’t think it’s gonna happen

That's not a pun! Do it again!
