"Wa" means from Japan, or product of Japan.

Is this product really wagyu? Or is it an American-made wagyu style product?

My first bitaxe showed up last night 😝

It's already mining right now! Setup was pretty easy, considering my technical prowess is on the low end.

LFG 🚀

No

...too sexy for your bonds, too sexy for your stocks, too sexy for your real estate, and ... too sexy to hypothecate...

Maybe. It's really hard to tell.

Also good to stop and think; are Bitcoin Core devs themselves being tricked by some unseen forces?

How do we suss this out?

It seems like keeping the blockchain small and growing as slowly as possible is the best outcome for maximum decentralization, so why wouldn't people who want data on the blockchain (AKA "spam" according to some folks) append a hash of the data rather than raw data itself? It seems like a reasonable compromise, but it's still far from clear for me.

Is this already a stale argument? It's a challenge to keep up with this ongoing debate.

They could all smoke some weed and quiet down a little.

Hey, but drunk parties were fun for a time

That book was a good read in my 20s. It might be time for me to reread it.

Just recently, It was a great joy for me to read again the works of Daniel Quinn, but this time as a ₿itcoiner.

His stories are even more interesting when viewed through Satoshi Shades.

Highly recommended for anyone who found Softwar worth reading. Daniel Quinn was a post-industrial tribal power projection maximalist even before the advent of ₿itcoin. It's curious!

They're so great for stepping in and out of the river, and that means no socks.

They make excellent casual campsite attire.

They also promote foot health better that closed-toed shoes.

But this note about fashion is still true and correct!

Camp on, campers! Don't wear your Crocs in the city! And switch to the boots during the mushroom hunts! 🍄

Accidental discharge leading to amputation. Irreversible damage that could have been avoided. Things of this nature

Excess iron saturation can be bad for man's health, no?

Someone told me somethin rather a while ago.

But most of all, it was Lowery's extensive discussion of power projection that reminded me of Quinn. Quinn talks a lot about it, too.

Much of his work also has a bit of a Malthusian bent, which many people don't like, but overall it's really worth exploring from a ₿itcoiner's perspective IMO, especially for those who found Softwar worth reading.

That's a heroic dose!

Here's one more, about his novel "The Story of B"

But it needs to be updated to "The Story of ₿"

This is another of my recent notes talking about it, meatier than the other:

Here's one excerpt from one of his books:

No one's making fun of you.

It's my fault for making the assumption that you might know who wrote Softwar (Jason Lowery).

And his book made me think of another author who has nothing at all to do with bitcoin, and whose work precedes bitcoin, but whose writing summons the spirit of bitcoin, and although you haven't heard of Daniel Quinn, it's possible you might enjoy reading his works. Just wanted to share that insight.

Making fun of people is not my thing 🙂

Feed your ego THIS!

It was hard for me as well to grasp how Jason Lowery intends to apply ₿itcoin for warfighting, but reading his book reminded me of the works of Daniel Quinn, and there are so many premonitions of coming changes in his works from before the release of bitcoin.

It's interesting to note how much he (Quinn) was predicting the emergence of ₿itcoin without even knowing it.

In my understanding, Malthus only prescribed the need for reduction in the amount of global food production. Did he also advocate for euthanizing and sterilizing people?

Not verified.

Fake news!

Sounds about right!

Demand is high

Best of luck to you 👍

If you get an answer to this question, it will help me, too.

It's high time for me to pull the trigger on my first Bitaxe, no matter the hashrate, but higher would be better, indeed!
