It's kind of amazing to me how few people care about the nature of our money and how it works.

It really pisses me off. People who fall for this are going to get hurt.

Worse than the infinite supply, however, is the fact that its monetary policy can be (and has been) changed arbitrarily. There is only one ledger sufficiently decentralized for its rules to be immutable.

Hey.

Good morning :)

I've tried to monetize my feet numerous times and have nothing to show for it. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

This strikes me as a problem. It's essentially guaranteed that the FBI knows if you're running a Bitcoin node. Timing analysis of network traffic makes it trivial. "NetFlow data provides information about traffic volume and flow on a network, such as servers communicating with each other. This is something that is known only to the server owner, or an ISP – and, thanks to deals companies like Team Cymru have with ISPs, also to the FBI and other buyers." cc #[0]

"Ukraine has spearheaded a collective call to action, joining forces with seven other Central and Eastern European nations to combat “disinformation” on social media platforms."

I'm really over them. https://reclaimthenet.org/ukraine-leads-request-for-social-media-platforms-to-censor-disinformation

When the debt ceiling is raised, Yellen will drain liquidity to refill the Treasury General Account. Not great for risk assets.

Why is no one talking about this?!

This footage of the Little Rock EF3 is insane. Kimberly Shaw was sucked into the tornado, but her husband pulled her back.

Fortunately, the most intense tornadoes yesterday traveled across empty fields.
