Learning new skills is such a blast!
This summer I learned how to cut grass with a sickle. Now I'm learning the art of Chinese tea ceremonies, working first time at a festival tea house.
Do new things, especially if they're outside of your regular skill set.
3 corrupt mafias fighting each other. Why should bitcoiners care?
tinyzonetv.to/ for everything! Shh don't tell anyone 😉
Oh yeah that's true.
Just someone from a different sphere of knowledge wanting to learn a new topic. Of course I'm stearing him towards the Austrian school.
Trying to teach someone about Fed interest rates, but honestly, I still don't understand them myself, even with an econ degree.
On the bright side, it helps my orangepilling case.
The kindest thing you can do is not cause emergencies for people.
I hereby call on the New York Times to STOP their print media business NOW.
NYT murders trees to print newspapers at 27 locations which take a trip (by truck/plane), sometimes thousands of miles, burning fossil fuels & trees all the way.

Let’s dive deeper ⬇️
The average paid print Sunday circulation of the New York Times was 745,000 copies in 2022. In 2012, it was 2,138,500. So let’s conservatively call it 1 million per Sunday on average. That’s 52 MILLION papers per year on Sunday alone!
In 2022, the average weekday print circulation of NYT was approximately 310,000 copies, less than half the figure recorded in 2014. But to be nice, let’s say 400,000 papers per “week day” (Monday-Saturday). That’s 2.4 MILLION papers per week
Combining weekday and Sunday papers, conservatively, that’s 3.4 MILLION newspapers per week, or 176.8 MILLION newspapers per year.
But how many TREES are MURDERED because of the reckless printing of the NYT?
BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE!
@nytimes was founded in 1852; that’s 171 YEARS.
That means they’ve MURDERED OVER 10 BILLION TREES and created over 484 BILLION POUNDS OF CO2
This wastepaper practice must not be allowed to continue.
Let’s find out ⬇️
A pine tree that measures 45 feet long & 8-inch diameter produces 10,000 sheets of paper. But the average sheet of paper is 8.5” x 11” & each @nytimes wastepaper is 12" x 22" when unfolded.
So, conservatively, let’s say each NYT wastepaper page is 2 pieces of normal paper ⬇️
On Sept. 14, 1987, the @nytimes wastepaper weighed 12 pounds & had 1,612 pages.
That means just over 3 newspapers killed one tree.
Extrapolating to the present day, the NYT kills 59 MILLION trees per year!
This is UNACCEPTABLE.
But it gets worse… NYT has long invested in paper companies. It is the minority OWNER — through a company called Donohue Malbaie — of papermaking machinery at the Resolute Forest Company plant in Clermont, Quebec, which produced 218,000 metric tons of newsprint in 2015
So just how much CO2 is NYT pumping into the atmosphere each year?
According to the Arbor Day Foundation, in one year a mature tree absorbs more than 48 pounds of CO2.
Since NYT murders 59 MILLION trees per year, that means they create 2.832 BILLION POUNDS OF C02 ANNUALLY
BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE!
NYT was founded in 1852; that’s 171 YEARS.
That means they’ve MURDERED OVER 10 BILLION TREES and created over 484 BILLION POUNDS OF CO2
This wastepaper practice must not be allowed to continue.
Here’s the scary part: this 484 BILLION pounds of CO2 is only their direct environmental cost based on tree murders — it doesn’t account for all the wasted fuel during wastepaper transport, electricity wasted by facilities, and hot air blown by NYT writers (more CO2).
In conclusion, NYT murders MILLIONS of trees per year pumping BILLIONS of pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere to print their shitrag wastepaper full of propaganda yet they have the gall to call #Bitcoin wasteful.
Give me a freaking break.
This is terrible. Why do they sound proud of it?
There will be a separation of EVERYTHING & State.
Religion ✅️
Money ✅️
Media
Medicine
Education
Security
That's why they're so scared of #Bitcoin
The income tax is definitely one of the worst, most invasive types of theft. But the fact that it is also disorganized and confusing to anyone with common sense makes it dangerous to any aggregate economic prosperity the United States still has, and that is quickly dwindling.
Sad to see Bittrex being pushed out of the US. As far as exchanges go, it has been one of the oldest and most trustworthy* large exchnage to buy and sell Bitcoin.
At least there is still Bittrex Global.
*no exchnage is ever truly trustworthy
I don't really. I'm here for community. But learning Bitcoin is an ongoing process as things do change and so there is a lot to read even after you're all in..
If we just get rid of governments, the enegy "crisis" would be fixed.
Of the most toxic variety. The thing about toxicity is it's fun and dramatic in fiction, but sick and tragic in real life.
Pfffttt I think the only prize you unlock on Twitter is generational mental health issues. Lol
Thanks for the zaps! See? You can even earn bitcoin by saying helpful stuff. 😆
You can buy lots of stuff with it if you look. And Nostr is one of the best places to find people who offer products and services for sats. Especially if you're in the US or Europe.
As for the public ledger, isn't it weird that the current legacy system is a complete black box where the elite politicans spend whatever and however much they want even through they're using public money and the money is obviously being spent on war, military weapons, bankrupt company bailouts, and a fukton of printed paper that has made an entire generation poorer than their parents.
This observation was purely physical. A lot of Russians of course have different genotypes and many are mixed. But there is a bigger concentration of Russians that look like me. And we can quickly point each other out in other countries when we travel.
