Do you ever pick up your mobile device and realize there’s no reason for doing so?
The phone didn’t ping with a notification; no emails to read; no burning desire to scroll through social; …just the instinctual, habitual, reaching for the thing and realizing, “Wait, why am I looking at this thing?”
Is there a word for that?
Anyways, I’ve been meditating more and becoming aware of these moments.
Love Vonnegut. Currently reading Hocus Pocus.
Not as good as BoC (and not sure if Kilgore Trout will make an appearance), but it’s still bitingly hilarious.
“Attempting murder”?
Hey Brunswick, maybe you should familiarize yourself with the Ulbricht case before spouting off demonstrably false nonsense like that. It is public information, after all.
For “attempted murder,” a court would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he attempted to kill someone. However, in the Ulbricht case, the judge determined that *did not* happen.
You are confusing that with the allegations that Ross agreed to pay a contract to kill someone.
And yet, Ross was never charged at trial with “murder for hire” and thus this charge was never ruled on by a jury. In fact, these unproven and unprosecuted allegations were dismissed *with prejudice* in 2018.
What did happen? During the trial, prosecutors alleged that he discussed and paid a contract, but this was only presented as evidence by the prosecutors and was weak. Why weak? Because “the accusations relied on anonymous chats and text files never proven to have been authored by Ross. Hard evidence and testimony, including from the lead Silk Road investigator, showed that, over time, multiple people were behind the site admin’s DPR handle. Most significantly, two corrupt investigators (who later sent to prison) also had unfettered access to Silk Road and were admittedly involved in numerous plots.”
Ross has always denied being involved with these allegations, and even Curtis Green, the only alleged victim ever identified, is a longtime, fervent supporter of Ross’s release.

Hey, remember when Wells Fargo paid $3.7 Billion to settle charges with regulators that the bank took advantage of customers on their auto loans, mortgages, and bank accounts?
People had their cars wrongfully repossessed and the bank took actions that resulted in borrowers wrongfully losing their homes.

I hope you’re right, Dave, because holy shit the comments/abuse/threats I’ve received over the last 48 hours are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

I agree with you and I believe nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy does, too. As well as many of us here.
To give some additional color to the miners who are selling, check this chart. Note that several miners have no HODL strategy and are simply selling everything they mine to fund/grow their operations. 
I was JUST predicting that to my wife!
Someone, somewhere will need to transact on the main chain. Especially if this thing turns out to be the reliable, base settlement layer for global finance that so many companies are building towards.
This is the point Arthur Hayes makes here:
Miners will be selling. Perhaps not enough to fill the needs of the ETFs, but that’s certainly one group who will be selling — to fund their OpEx.
Odell is calling out Swan based on… what evidence, exactly? He doesn’t even hint at some smoking gun other than “feels.”
Cory’s response is appropriate. I suspect there will be a strategic release of information when the time is right, as determined by Swan leadership.
I’m not an investor in Swan or Ten31, but if I was invested in the latter, I’d be a bit concerned that Odell is spending some of his reputation by trying to take Cory down a peg. Hell, I’m concerned about it simply as a longtime Odell fan.
Cory is not under any obligation to answer any questions to anyone who does not have information rights. That’s how private companies work.
I didn’t see its Tax ID on first glance of the website. I will look again and set up a donation.
