Maybe just a coincidence but today, in #China, is the day the God of Wealth is celebrated. 财神爷.

It’s a pretty significant day during the Chinese New Year. Rock on everyone!!

My dad looks at bitcoin price action way more than I do now. He is doing like TA on bitcoin and tell me about it everyday.

He was like that’s the local bottom, it’ll bounce off here, we should range here, 50K I told you so, halving in two months it’ll get crazy and stuff.

He holds way less than I do and he’s already like that 😂

I haven't bought a physical book in awhile (I mostly download epubs), came across this gem browsing a bookstore in Taipei 🤓

This is a special anniversary edition (published 2018) of "Taiwan's 400 year history" by the late Su Beng, this is the abridged English version, the Chinese version is quite a tome.

This book has an interesting history written by a true badass. It was first published in 1962 in Japanese, got banned (Taiwan was under martial law between 1947 to 1987), then published in Chinese in 1980 and circulated underground as a banned text.

The content takes a Taiwanese-centric view using a lot of primary but unreliable first hand accounts, and places harsh criticism over the Republic of China. I grew up around a dinner table that would talk about this book -- the lengths that people go through to spread knowledge continues to fascinate me

Su Beng was a Taiwanese Independence Activist, and he smuggled himself out of Taiwan in a banana boat after being found out to have been plotting the assassination of the dictator Chiang Kai Shek. He lived in exile before returning to Taiwan to see direct elections take place, the guy has had quite a life. Some Taiwanese are just built different.

Su Beng is a father of the Taiwan Independence movement. Su Beng (史明) Taiwan-centric view shaped many, including those of influence and power like former president Lee Teng Hui, Chen Shui Bian, Tsai Ing wen (acted as advisor to the president), and president-elect Lai Ching-Te.

The Taiwan-centric view (as opposed to the Republic of China 🇹🇼 view) is not common even amongst locals, and completely absent on the world stage.

I think it's a great book for those who like visiting Taiwan! Add some historical context to sightseeing 🥳

Does anyone use Cloudron, Yunohost, Sandstorm?

央行消息：2024年1月末货币供应量M2达到297.63万亿；20022年末是266万亿。一年多增加了31万亿。中国现在的货币总量换算成美元计算：297.63万亿人民币/7.21汇率=41.28万亿美元，信用货币总量已经超过美国和欧洲的总和了。

贵不贵，要看放在哪个城市来评价了。🤔
