A tsunami of truth is cleansing every corner of the Earth. Head to higher ground. The water will only subside when every being is free.

That’s the game. Mass sovereignty is the prize.

Is it a lack of courage, or simply a lack of critical thinking ability altogether? When fear (warranted or not) is involved, critical thinking is often pushed aside by survival instinct.

I think that critical thinking ability has declined in general though. And I blame social media algorithms for it. It has caused us to be bombarded with content designed to elicit engagement in the shortest time possible, obfuscating the need for critical thinking when it's needed most.

-Economic Indicators-

Upbeat U.S. Factory Data Powers Dollar Index to Nearly 5-Month High: The dollar index, which tracks the greenback’s value against major fiat currencies, topped the 105 mark for the first time over four months, taking the four-week gain to 2.58%. A stronger dollar makes dollar-denominated assets like bitcoin and gold expensive, potentially leading to lower demand. The PMI rose 2.5 points to 50.3 last month following February’s 47.8 reading.

-Security Incidents and Concerns-

1. Thwarted supply-chain hack sets off alarm bells across DC: Andres Freund, a software engineer at Microsoft, discovered fragments of malicious code expertly hidden inside two versions of an immensely popular open-source data compression tool, known as Xz, Friday March 29, which had by then been incorporated into two versions of the widely used Linux operating system. Some researchers said state involvement is likely given how skilled the Xz exploit code was.(Politico)

-Bitcoin Sentiment-

1. Fear(0)/Greed(100) Index: 79/100 (Even)

Analyst Comments (AC): The majority of articles concerning bitcoin often focus on the technical analysis of price action or potential upsides or support levels. These articles are simply misleading when compared to the clear economic mechanics of supply and demand of the digital asset. Unlike securities which have derivative variables that may override supply/demand issues, bitcoin has less impact from such derivatives. Simply put, the most recent price action (~ 2-3 months) in BTC can be largely attributed to the buying of bitcoin from large institutional firms and the selling of the same, primarily from Grayscale Trust. In today's action for example, the price drop in BTC is most highly correlated to GBTC selling BTC as outlined in the article above. In other words, 'look for the signal through the noise'.

*NSTR-Nothing Significant To Report

Thanks, haven't got a wallet that supports lnurl currently. What's the best option for android? I'd like to keep using Amethyst?

Can you give some examples of thier lack of moral and intellectual courage?

Made the decision today to cut down on Twitter and get more involved on here.

Also as part of that I'm going to be try and be more observant and less reactive/susceptible to misleading and inflammatory information, which is basically all media these days. Bitcoin twitter is fun, but there's also a lot of people that push narratives that are inaccurate and misleading. It can be a dangerous place for people who easily get caught up in such things and are overly sensitive to inflammatory dialogue.
