"'Market failure' is an oxymoron"
- Javier Milei, World Economic Forum 2024 Davos Switzerland
Just wrote 30 lines of code in an hour that obsoletes all the code I've written in the past 2 weeks.
I just installed Debian 12 on my desktop and it got every single peripheral right in the first try. #linux

I'm not an artist, but personally I think the emphasis on the unassuming animal (silly ostrich) better aligns with the open protocol ethos than a decorated letter, which I usually associate with a brand or an enterprise app.
How do they track the price? Are the custodians trying to keep up with inflows by buying btc in real time?

JUST IN: CNBC inaccurately reported that X was hacked, and claimed that there was no breach at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). #sec #bitcoin https://video.nostr.build/0181470dc04927ec285356ace705a258bb11fb115d3ae8f0a31510415cbfd504.mp4
Yeah and then goes on to act like the SEC account being hacked (reality) would be ridiculous. Sad that these agencies are now less reputable than meme platforms.
"An SEC spokeswoman said that an unknown party had accessed the agencyβs X account for a brief period after 4 p.m. " - WSJ
The SECβs X account was hijacked to post a fake approval of Bitcoin ETFs

The world is not anymore the way it used to be. No no no!
It would have to be from a miner or pool with a large enough share of the hash power to actually be confident in finding blocks in a given range. Unless a coordinator buys futures from many different miners to give the same effect.
