Consensus, not coercion.

Ben Shapiro is clearly a gay man struggling with his identity and channels that inner conflict into misplaced anger toward the world.

I said exactly this last year at a work dinner and not everyone agreed. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Maybe it would cause a chain split in South America. Unless the outage is extremely long it would end up just accepting the chain with more work.

Congratulations 🎉 well deserved!

This is more of a shitcoin thing, but basically the scammer notices you send crypto to a certain address often. They find a similar address and send you a dust amount. What they hope it’s you just copy /paste a transaction from your history and it end up being the dust amount that they sent .

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Elmo > Elon

I payed for my dinner with Bitcoin. Who knew that food tastes better without government intervention 🤷
