It is Wednesday my dudes. 🐸 😎

#100pushups a day until #Bitcoin $100k

Day 027: 2024-04-17 - 5x20

No rest for the wicked. πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Somebody out there has been doing 58 pushups a day and it shows.

I’d send you a joke about custodial #Bitcoin, but there is no such thing.

Like any joke, it’s less funny explained. I guess the crux is the reversal of fortune. The bartender, annoyed, dealt with a troll by finishing the first joke early. But the troll won in the end in a reversal.

It has to do with sums of infinite series.

In the first joke, the bartender thinks what’s coming is fractional powers of two. The sum of 1 +1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + … = 1/2^0 + 1/2^1 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^3 + 1/2^4 + … = 2. That is, the sum of the series converges to 2. So he slams two beers to finish the sum rather than infinitely pouring smaller and smaller beers.

In the second joke, before the bartender can cut them off, the third mathematician reveals a different series: 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + … = ∞. That is, the sum of the series diverges. So there’s no skipping to the end. The bartender has to just keep pouring smaller and smaller beers forever.

The problem isn’t that they own stocks. The problem is the State’s monopoly on violence over which they preside.

Take away the ability to wield force to benefit themselves financially and there’s no problem.
