Was just watching a video about how those old gas tanks were all disappearing the other day.
'In April last year, a student ate the banana when the work was on display in a Seoul art museum and taped the peel back on the wall. He later said he ate it because he skipped breakfast and was hungry.' , prefer this guy!
Seems like that should be an easy one to delivery even for that bs artist
Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful, I don't take it all
Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
George Harrisons estate going to be raking it in assuming they moved it out of the uk!

This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early #bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers. I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh taxes or bans. Check 🧵 for why:
Rather than praising bitcoin as a tech paradigm shift à la petroleum and the internet, the authors introduce the blatantly luddite argument that "early adopters" ... "increase their real wealth and consumption" ... "at the expense of [latecomers]".
Then they go on to brazenly advocate for legislation ... "to prevent bitcoin prices from rising or to see bitcoin disappear altogether" in order to prevent "the division of society".
The authors also model some projections, to illustrate the paltry amount of BTC that will remain available for latecomers. (Woe is me! Conspicuously left out is the reason that has driven 15 years of bitcoin adoption & development: it's simply better tech.)
In all the years I've been monitoring the bitcoin space, this is by far the most aggressive paper to come from authorities. The gloves are off. It's clear that these central bank economists now see bitcoin as an existential threat, to be attacked with any means possible.
Many of us have warned that this was coming: bitcoin as a major political fault line both in national and international elections. Well here it is. It means that us HODLers must take action to insure that governments respect our basic right to hold property.
And no, this won't be a war between haves and have-nots. Rather this will be a historic clash between those who stand for the natural rights of the individual, and those who clutch at the failed ideologies of collectivism and central planning.
Here's the download link to the paper: "The distributional consequences of Bitcoin". (We need detailed rebuttals. Who's writing one?)

'People I deemed unworthy' lol some bitcoiners need some serious therapy.
Of for sure it or similar will be implemented, especially so say in taxis. It's just I don't believe its worthy of patent protection, it's an obvious idea and there's nothing in the patent that any other bunch of creeps wouldnt come up with in 5 mins if they wanted to do the same. Although I suppose it could be good if ford got it and restricted only to their cars, at least itd be easy to avoid! 🤣
Creepy, also I know it's only a patent application and so companies just put any old shit in and see what sticks but come on...If the patent office is underfunded maybe they should be able to just put fines on large firms when string together obvious shit in the hope of getting a patented.
I have never heard so many “crypto” buzzwords in such a short time as I have during this X space where the Trumps are promoting their new shitcoin.
Truly impressive…
Ignore shitcoins. Study #Bitcoin with nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 
Only need to see the punk nfts to know its going to be bs.
So anyone could potentially get access if ledger fuck up, possibly they might compensate you up to $50k but beyond that you're shit out of luck.
Do they jump when Moraes asks?
If I'm looking at my phone then I'm bored.
Signals shitcoin makes use of SGX wonder how this effects it. Also I remember Prof Emin suggested some 2nd layer for BTC that would rely on SGX as an alternative to lightning, luckily it was a non-starter introducing a dependency on a single vendors proprietary tech.
Created 1st account early 22 I think. Left Twitter the first/only nostr November, so no idea what's going on in the world since then!
Finally got some sun, back to normal as soon as it rains again!
We just dropped a new self-custodial Bitcoin wallet. Early access details here: https://proton.me/blog/proton-wallet-launch
You should point your nip5 to protonmail domain else this could be anyone...
Yep, using monero isnt going to do shit for you if you need to provide proof of funds, e.g. in UK if buying a house.

If you have a credit card, they already know everything about you,” said Dan Berg, 53. - For fucks sake some people have zero imagination, or maybe Dan doesn't actually go out any more and these streams are how he gets his kicks.
Despite all the hype around AI, got to say that using chatgpt just now to help with some issues I was having with async python and qt was much quicker than searching the web or rooting through stackoverflow.
'saying that it had already been used to send 183,000 suspected cases of abuse to the National' - So how many of those were false positives?.. Also if it's flagging up pictures for manual review I wonder how many people have access to view those supposedly private pictures, and when then there's an inevitable leak I wonder how many more people will find their pictures online? Why is it that the default now is to always assume everyone is guilty of a crime rather than do some actual police work?
Looking forward to England at 8.
So the gox coins finally seem to be on the move.
Test
Think I'd rather Pycharms didn't come up with suggestions rather than making shit up. Must be some AI bullshit, especailly when it doesn't seem to be able give auto completes that it should easily be able to work out!
