I'm pretty sure Szabo was the guy on the bus, and I'm pretty sure he was in Vancouver in January 2008. But it was so long ago, I can't be certain.
I can't wait for this election to be over. It's all americans are talking about. Nothing will change no matter who wins.
Decentralized technology combined with cryptography is pretty cool. I wonder what else it could do?
I'm so tired of all these fake satoshis. If satoshi is even still alive, why would he ever reveal himself? If satoshi is still alive, then he must already be rich, otherwise he would have sold his bitcoin.
There is no better tool for freedom of speech than #nostr. Nothing else is as resistant to censorship. Freedom tech is the future.
The data has been pretty good, so why are prices coming down? I haven't heard any bad news lately.
I completely agree, but I think the boost from liquidity could run out. There are situations where liquidity fails to boost price levels, such as a liquidity trap.
But a meltup is a real possibility, one that I'm worried about. High rates and high debt could lead to runaway inflation. It appears people are betting on this scenario, judging by the price of bitcoin, gold, and silver. Bond yields keep going up, which also supports this hypothesis. But, the dollar hasn't gone down yet because the economy is strong, and bond yields are high. So there are some conflicting signals.
And if he was satoshi, then I know for sure who isn't satoshi. But it happened so long ago that I can't say for certain who it was. Just a guy in his 20s. He might have had a name for it, but I don't remember. He told me it was going to be the future.
Rates will come down because they have to. There is too much debt for rates to stay high. They have to come down at some point.
Why is everyone betting on inflation if it's coming down? If the government was printing too much money, wouldn't inflation go up?
Big tech will delay the green transition. They will consume as much energy as we can produce, which means we will need to use more fossil fuels. All of these nuclear plants will power these massive data centres, both of which require considerable amounts of carbon emissions to build. And all of these chips that are necessary. There is no way we can build and power all of these data centres without delaying the green transition.
