Then take whatever you would have spent on gambling, weed, and videos games and stack sats. That’ll put hair on your chest.

If you don’t have a bitcoin white paper copy framed on the wall of your bedroom, do you even bitcoin, bro?

Bitcoin price = 10^-16.62 x (days bitcoin has existed)^5.72

Ethereum = direction foundation feels wind is blowing - drugs required to be purchased for enjoyment over next 30 days + price of tea in China per ounce in grams of gold. But only on Tuesdays.

Gone are those innocent days

Logic matters. Doesn’t matter what the issue is…logic matters.

Scientific issues obviously require logic.

But non-scientific issues likewise require logic, yet everyone seems to forget this.

Is God real? Does God love every human? These are not scientific questions, but nevertheless these questions require logical answers.

This is the first step towards wisdom: self recognition

I, like every American, break more laws than I realize daily. But fuck that, I am done caring about what psychopaths say…

Thank you for responding to these psychopaths

We all secretly love Peter. Because he is not wrong about so much.

But never rely on someone comprehending truth when his paycheck depends upon his not understanding it.

You have a peculiar sense of logic.

I want something to be true, but I recognize self poisoning is a major confounder that will at least partially obscure evidence of causation, and taking away the self poisoning might explain 100% of the beneficial effect of all the things I want to healthy.

And you conclude this makes me dangerous.

I conclude this proves you to be confused about something.

I honest wish this could be true. But I think most of the effect would be replacing awful things with not terrible things…

I need a nostr:npub1qex7yjtuucs6ac49kjujdgytrjsphn5a4pdscu2w3qlprym4zsxqfz82qk conference tracker. I’ve been in bitcoin since July 2010 and I’ve yet to enjoy the baklava…

I heard JP Morgan has written BIP 925, proposing a soft fork for bitcoin, intended to restrict mining hours to 9-5, M-F, closed holidays (Eastern time).

As this effectively reduces block size, I heard Luke was all for it and assigned BIP mainline status immediately.

This works so much better on April 1st. 😂

Yup. And beware the bitcoin loan capital gains trap: if you give up unilateral control of bitcoin, it’s arguable you have transferred ownership and hence triggered capital gains tax.

International. If you have room, that’d be great. Otherwise I can grab an uber or something. I’ll be sleepy having flown overnight, so I probably won’t do Thursday activities

I get the “remember the 50 dollars you sent me? Can you send it again?”

Happened Monday this week. But that $50 back then is worth $10,000 today…which I told you might happen & to save those words…and sadly I won’t just send you $10,000 today.

This!

My kids grew up watching me drive a used 2008 Kia Sedona minivan…until about a year ago when I embarked on teaching them another lesson: borrow dollars, don’t sell bitcoin.

My cybertruck cost ₿2.25 the day I had to pay for it. But by shorting the dollar, total cost were I to sell bitcoin today to pay for it would be ₿1.35, including finance costs, taxes, registration, etc.

I learned at a young age that borrowing was bad, especially for a car, which is why my wife’s middle of the road new 2017 Honda minivan cost me ₿7. Ouch.

If you receive these three questions, unsolicited, you know we are in a bitcoin bubble:

1) Am I late?

2) Should I wait?

3) Want a date?

My guess is that it’s sort of an all or nothing deal. They couldn’t detonate Trump with the files because they couldn’t avoid the blast themselves.

Back of the envelope math regarding young people and bitcoin power law:

If you have 50 years, every 2025 dollar put in to bitcoin today will be roughly $1 of 2025 purchasing power per month for an entire retirement…assuming bitcoin power law holds over the entire time and stable above target usd inflation of 5%….

Maybe setting aside a few thousand dollars for a kid is a reasonable thing? I let my kids buy bitcoin from me pre-pandemic to show them how the dollar will predictably fall apart.

lol…I’m glad there exist skeptical people. But at some point you’ve got to think more rigorously.

That said, these issues don’t change what we do have in common, which are far more important.

Well, you can but it’s a lot more work.

Looking forward to getting a little glimpse of Aussie life next week…and I’m half hopeful I can buy a machete at the local supermarket like all the cool kids…

Appreciate it. I tried all types of cables…browser sees port but can’t access it

Yeah. It’s probably some Linux permission thing for accessing serial port

Amen to that

Kinda like how some black people use the word nigger

Well, I think it would be retarded to purposefully insult someone. I’m talking about word choice amongst normal people without regard to those not present.

…now with 2x more polio!

But I don’t want mono or polio…but if I have to choose I’ll take mono.

lol…humans gonna has da feels…but a sober discussion of design flaws is, imho, welcome for any software.

To me it all comes down to costs. Are they reasonable at scale or not? I dunno.

As best I can tell, it comes from this question filled detail free post: nostr:nevent1qqsf9gzs96ff8368qk5twt7alsn50g8ew4ru063g9c0kmfqu0vwnrkgjm2xnp

And to be honest, these are standard questions on most always ask about everything to reason about its future.

But considering a question doesn’t make its premise true. And I’m not at all convinced the direction of the argument implied but not stated in his questions is true. And he wasn’t trying to convince anyone of anything. He was just reminding people how to think.

I don’t see the .50 cal mounting points, razor wire fences, trenches, and mine fields though…seems like a lot of perimeter to defend. 😂

I do not know. Is that John Carvalo (sp?)

I agree it’s possible that the US could choose to make its future debt unpayable by increasing it, but as of now, it’s easily paid: eventually bitcoiners will die and as death is a taxable event, the government would collect massive amounts of tax.

And even if federal debt were much higher, then the only thing that is needed is another asset to massively inflate. Maybe even just massively inflating bitcoin again.

US debt will never be too much until they start borrowing bitcoin.

Except debt doesn’t destroy tax obligation…you can theoretically pledge 100% of your bitcoin as collateral for a loan but that doesn’t mean the lender gets to keep the collateral just because you failed to pay. You see, 28% of the minimum collateral needed to repay the loan belongs to the government when used to pay the loan. Just because one loan can be paid with another just delays the inevitable: eventually a person will pay off their final loan. And then they will die. And as death is a taxable event, they will pay 28%.

Good thought. I need to start curating memes for use in SMS text messages.

Oooh….ooooh….this is cool…
