I have the opposite take. I see CZ as being very reserved and low key because that's what smart grifters do to stay under everyone's radar. He's operating a casino, and knows that virtually everything he is peddling is garbage. He even cooked up his own vaporware coin.

As to the harm done to people when/if binance collapses... I mean honestly I have sympathy for anyone who loses their shirt to a scam, but it's 2023. How many centralized exchanges have to rug people before the lesson is learned? If you are using money for anything, ESPECIALLY investment, you perform due diligence or you probably get rekt. I wish it weren't so, but that is reality.

Anyone who gets hurt by giving an exchange their private keys today either knew and acknowledged the risk, or needs to learn the hard way. And in either of those cases it's a self inflicted and entirely avoidable wound.

If any large exchange goes bust it will precipitate a distribution event, where cheaper sats will flow to those who respect the asset enough to self custody. This is great for Bitcoin in the long run.

I dig the first one, very Khador-looking chic.

Evening #gunstr peeps.

I've been planning out this Stribog Sp9a3 for a while. Still missing a a bunch of basics - sling, optic, light.

Still debating on whether I want to be put on a govt list to play with the fun stuff - brace and can.

Shoots fantastic, super soft recoil. Love this thing.

Listening to this now, share this with the normies in your life.

The parasite class made this topic seem boring to foster economic illiteracy to better control us.

Guy lays it out the basics in plain language. 🎯

How do you mean disappointing? Because the date comes and goes without much price movement?

Last halving was my first, and I was surprised it took months for the market forces to catch up to the supply/demand disequilibrium.

Because there is no second best 😉

That's basically every other snack I was given as a child 😂

Looking at it now... 🤢

I prefer a pair of 22 inch monitors to either side of a central 24 inch screen.

This is for work though, I'm not much of a gamer anymore.

Stay humble and stack seconds.

Time is the most important asset. Do what you can to earn more of it.

I bought my first sats in early '18.

I thought I was too late to the party to make much difference.

5 years goes by in a blink. I've never been so happy to have been proven wrong.

Love it. Hope your day is as enjoyable as it is productive!

I'm trying to force myself awake to start the day. Playing some catch-up with work, meeting a buddy for a drink, grocery shopping, and movie night with my wife.

What are your plans for the day?

Your keys can be memorized, set in paper or metal and never touch a signing device/hww, it's true.

But how would you safely sign transactions using that knowledge if not through a device like this?

I'm not going to enter my private key into an Internet connected device in order to broadcast a transaction, that's for sure.

I just botched an hour long presentation and QA session in front of 40 people. And it was recorded.

Just goes to show you can be great at your job but still stumble. Nothing left to do but identify what went wrong and make changes so that it doesn't happen again.

Sometimes progress is painful 🤙

All day every day 🤝

First season of Heroes and Lie to Me

Archer season 1 is hilarious.

The Expanse, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, and Farscape are excellent sci-fi shows - each with their own angle on the genre.

Some older shows I used to love but I'm not sure how well they've aged:

Sliders

Babylon 5

X-files

Coldcard does, I think passport does as well, not sure about others I haven't really explored signing devices to a great extent. Coldcard is what I've used for years.

Well, I tried to quote post and failed 🤣

I dig. I love cloudgazing.
