With more $bns being put in bitcoin compared to 2021, and half the supply being produced every day, you'd think we would outperform 2021 relative .... But I'm still skeptical.

The $bns in ETFs will play a different role here dampening gains . institutional investors will be happy taking 5%profit cuts and dump billions relatively quickly .

Cautiously optimistic about this actually happening. Lots of obstacles to surmount

If you use chatgpt these days you are a lazy hypocrite who supports ass-mongering big tech and you your innability to even make a basic effort is rotting this world to the core.

Use open source ai like this one. Use venice.ai if you can't host it. Use Ollama, anything but Sam altman's spawnchild.

I despise chatgpt and all its users who know better.

This is a huge issue, I was told there is a decentralized alternative to github.... Let's start promoting the shit out of it

You can get phones with physical switches, no need to use a phone that comes with proprietary OS and very little userbase for hacks/rooting help.

Fairphone with graphene is still a good option, or volla phones . has to be open source or else you have no idea what is going on in there.

Isn't that the phone that isn't open source, as in the binaties can't be built / replicated?

Haven't watched, I won't watch if the tech isn't open source as that's an obvious honeypot for governments.

Just looked at the site: yep, no mention of code being open and "how can you trust us" question is answered by "we are verified by experts".

Full of great resources for whatever you might need. Love that site!

Thanks for posting this reminder of what's going on there.

Oh I was talking about bukele not max heh

Though you are correct, have you been to el Salvador and spoken to people there? It's interesting to consider how he has over 90% approval ratings. As far as I know no other leader can boast that.

I can say from my own experience that the people approve of what he has done and support him.

As long as a government is accountable to its people and does what the people want the government to do its really hard for outside observers like us to judge.

Only time will tell if he end up a tyrant or a liberator - and the only people who can make that determination are the citizens of that country

You sell these as button pins by any chance ?

Viralik is right. Much easier to have censorable, ofac compliant and rich-person controlled layer one protocol. Why trust those pesky third parties with your crypto right?

This one time, the USD went up to 10000 SATs, and then it CRASHED to 7500 SATs. Then another time, the USD climbed to 8900 sats, then it CRASHED to 4500 sats. And then another time, the USD went to 6200 sats, and then it CRASHED to 2800 sats .

He was the man.

I would focus on letting that state of emergency from September 11, 2001 finally expire first. Everything will fall into place once that is done.

Many of the anti money laundering measures are justified based on the need to prevent terrorist financing, etc.

Sadly no degoogled option yet. Love the tech and how it looks, just can't get to using a device that calls home 100+ times a day to send data on me and what I'm doing.

This is much bigger than one American law my friend. You would need to take on the FATF.

Lots of podcasts on how it's controlling the financial space globally , its the subject of my presentation in adopting bitcoin in el Salvador.

The more people know what this piece of festering garbage "global standard setting body" is, the better.

An act providing for restriction on use of digital assets? Have you read the entire bill? The bill likely removes your ability to do what you want and only authorizes certain activities. Hardly a blessing my friend

He doesn't support bitcoin devs and holds all microstrategy BTC on coinbase.

He is also developing a bitcoin-based digital Id system.

I honestly don't know what to think

See you there!
