My favorite page on the StLouisFed .org (FRED) site:
"Buying eggs with bitcoins."
OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS...
From November 2019 through November 2024, the price of a dozen eggs:
- In US dollars: Increased ⬆️ +159%, from $1.41 to $3.65.
- In #bitcoin: Decreased ⬇️ -52%, from 8,694 sats to 4,170 sats.
Would you prefer:
- Groceries to be 2.5x more expensive for you and your family?
- Or half as much over the past five years?
This is not a trick question.
CONCLUSION: Life gets constantly more expensive the longer you save in dollars (or any government fiat currency), while it generally gets (much) cheaper the longer you save in #bitcoin.
Inflationary fiat currency versus neutral inelastic energy money...
The choice is yours.

That chart's a nice reminder that we're winning and it feels good. Here's a Santa hat to celebrate, Doc, if you feel so inclined. 
Russia surely distributed a lot of Assad's captagon trade at some point. I'm wondering if any group(s) will try reviving that network to get paid and gain power in Syria?
This was a high signal discussion of many actors in Syria and their incentives. Would recommend.
I'm now wondering if the US government views its military effort there as a counter-terror, monitoring, deterrence, humanitarian, or peacekeeping one and how it thinks we're doing. If we're on the up and up, surely we'd go out of our way to broadcast wins and build trust with the citizenry sending taxes and children to this war. It would also be nice to know where we think this lands on the spectrum of conflict and what winning looks like. Does silence say things are going poorly, however they may be defined?
In Afghanistan, it always pissed me off to see Presidents, SECDEFs, and GOs utterly fail at PR (and strategy and focus and commitment and accountability and basic leadership skills etc). Secrecy makes it hard for plebeians and legionaries to embrace wars of empire, because no news isn't always good news.
I’m dying at these 😂😂

100%. Was there. Can confirm.
Works on a gym playlist too.
It's never too late to start destroying one's future!

Good news: even with inflation, it will only take 6,932 years to double the money in my high-yield savings account. Isn't compound interest amazing?! #econstr

Teamwork 🤝 Dreamwork
Deadass rizzy writing. You understood the assignment.
GM, looks like the dollar is dumping hard today. Might make sense to have some bitcoin in case it catches on.

Lol this is the coolest thing - I didn't even know I needed this but am glad it's available
The quad poor dunks and hfsp chains were so fun back in that pre-AI phase of the great meme war
