These clips always remind me of that segment on the Today show where the hosts were confused on the value of email and how it works. These guys are going to look so ridiculous in a few years.

I was posting about this in 2020 on the Financial Times website... articles about CALPERS taking risky strategies to close the gap

The Legacy Finance guys couldn't comprehend... laughed me out of the chat

Cracks in the dam though.... the word is getting out

A lot of pre-coiner pension managers will wake up in next 5-10 years

We're gonna win

The Social Security Administration expects their reserves to run out in 2035.

That’s a different pile of money than most other government functions, and so without either tax increases or legislation that transfers other money to it, payments going out to retirees could actually be cut after that due to not enough income flowing in.

I’m not sure what they’ll do at that point since we don’t even know what things will look like then, but basically 2035 is the next station to see if the train keeps going or not.

This drawdown will represent “intergovernmental” public debt turning into public debt held by either the private sector, foreign sector, or central bank.

Is there anyone who is *strongly* interested in being an early round beta reader for my sci fi manuscript?

Near-future sci-fi, crime/thriller/cyberpunk. A blend of action and multi-character depth, and moral analysis. The action is key and all, but alpha readers thus far cried at the character aspects; that's what hit them hard enough to care how they would engage with the action.

Strict Requirements for first-stage beta readers:

-I need to know/trust you personally, either in person or very well online with high reputation, to the point that I'd send an unfinished manuscript to you. There's no strict requirements, but if you know, you know.

-You like sci fi and/or fantasy books, and would be happy to read and offer objective (even brutal) feedback on a sci-fi action/crime thriller novel within the next month or two.

-You can comment or DM, for privacy sake.

That's a small group, but I'm putting it here on Nostr first for what I consider my pre-beta or readers. I will then expand 10x on Twitter and elsewhere for my full beta readers.

Meanwhile, I'm in the early revision stage. Manuscripts won't be sent out immediately. I'm still doing revisions and working with alpha readers, but I'm at the stage where I can start *planning* for the next step to see who might be interested to be early beta readers. Nostr folks get the exclusive early notice here.

I do tend to move pretty fast, though.

All pre-beta readers that provide meaningful input would be mentioned in the acknowledgement section, if the book were to be published, which of course I cannot guarantee will happen. I will only publish good books, one way or another.

But like, the alpha readers do like it. ;)

Everybody knows he meant Ethereum.

To be fair, I think many feel like they have 20 years of bitcoin experience..

Just had someone apply for a job while claiming 20 years of Bitcoin experience. 🤡

You can see people becoming more afraid of death as it approaches.

I know the app. Send me a link to the group please. 🙂 Thanks.

Good day!
