Had this thought that someone (funds/nation states) is simultaneously losing money on purpose to short bitcoin/keep the price in this range and buying large sums of it OTC at these prices. IOW, you pay the $10M a day or whatever it costs to keep the price in the 80s, and you buy 1-10K coins/day at a small premium to spot OTC. If you didnāt pay to short the spot price, the OTC price would be much higher.
When there are no more OGs unloading OTC, they will pull the short and price discovery will return.
real pandemic starts in 2026, pandemic of cognitive dissonance.
the range-bound price action is fake as fuck
My friend injured his Achilles heel, was walking around in a boot. I asked him: āWould you say thatās your Achilles heel?ā
I go there way more than that. Actually far less annoying now that Iām not paying for it. But it really should be done 1-2x a day to try and discern some signal.
Itās intermittent, like some posts get no views, but others have more reach than was previously possible. Either way the check was a worse scam than Somali daycare centers!
think you'll be okay if there's a toilet nearby
Maybe the reason they were so slow to go after the daycare fraud is most of the medical system in general is fraud.
If he were a novelist or a poet maybe. But his books are about to live oneās life, which makes it hard to take seriously if you donāt respect the guy.
More than āwrongā but owned his shilling of the mRNA poison with sufficient contrition, then yes I would consider whatever he had to say.
I agree with this generally, but not in this case. Was such a total and catastrophic epistemic failure, has to be owned for credibility to be retained. Not like we disagree about whether tariffs are a good idea.
I also remember that. Disqualifying for me.
There are no journalists anymore, only party apparatchiks perpetuating narratives and conspiracy theorists testing their hypotheses.
Was bored on the flight last night, had this conversation with Grok about possible guard dogs/animals for oneās house:
We have one data point: an odds-defying miracle. But of course one is free to draw oneās own conclusions from that.
The odds against are paradoxically the best argument for other intelligent life ā basically no chance we happened randomly. And if itās not random then itās by design which means the universe self-organizes generally into intelligent life.
Heading to NY. Anyone want me to bring them back something?
Think the problem is too many people (white and non-white) are falling for the leftist racist paradigm in which foreigners, some of whom are not suited to open western societies, are admitted out of pity or guilt. Pity for a group is also racism. When instead prospective immigrants should be vetted carefully, on the individual merits, and to the extent there are not enough resources to do so, then we should just have less immigration until that changes.
The solution then isnāt to perpetuate collectivism and just change the group designation from āin needā to ādangerous.ā The solution IMO is to dismantle the group identification altogether and stop importing people who canāt demonstrate they belong on the merits.
Agree itās a psyop to convince people that ANY culture, no matter how backward, is as desirable as ours on American soil, but getting people to view each other through the prism of categories like race, religion, country of origin is also a divide and conquer psyop. The biggest nightmare for government is for people of uncommon ancestry to make common cause. Because if that happened, theyād have no choice but to respond to the people rather than their oligarch clients. They bring in foreigners who have no business being here precisely to destabilize and divide IMO. They want you to ID as white, to see others as your adversaries.
So while itās tempting to say, āno more of these people from country Xā it doesnāt get to the root cause of the problem which is collectivism. The more you try to push out people of Country X, the more sympathy will build for them. Eventually youāll have āfree country xā protests in the streets, on college campuses, worldwide. The more you fight on their turf (identity politics) the more it will be used against you, and you opened the door to it.
Only good solution is to tell people who want to frame you with āwhite guiltā or āwhite privilegeā to fuck off, not because you are proud or not proud of your race, but because your race is irrelevant to your individual moral standing.
had a paranoid friend who ditched the old Twitter because he didnāt like that people were āfollowingā him
