Failsafe mode, human oversight, manual override, etc.

Imagine being so irrational that you believe your life depends on what software other people run.

Am I the only one in the world that doesn’t love the movie Akira?

With its violence and gore and dark psychological aspects, it helped pave the way for mainstream adult animation. And it had amazing visuals for the time, with iconic aspects that were replicated elsewhere. So like, it’s objectively important in the history of the medium. No doubt about that.

But in terms of watching it, I don’t find it subjectively engaging, nor do I find myself recommending it like “you gotta watch Akira”.

Multiple projects (like Counterparty) already used OP_RETURN- why don’t you ask them that?

Growth in OP_RETURN usage doesn’t prove your point at all, Jimmy.

You should want more usage of OP_RETURN instead of the witness data or bare multisig outputs. It’s simply less harmful.

It is, as far as I can tell, impossible to tell the difference between "making an inane comment on your post to be supportive" and "llm bot spamming".

If I don't learn anything from what you're saying, why say it?

Perhaps I need a client which doesn't show comments more than two hops away in my social graph? Probably too quiet though; I would need many more friends.

In the meantime…

Then boating accident and declare bankruptcy.

Not advocating for this, but:

If everyone took fiat loans against their #Bitcoin and bought more corn with the proceeds, then took additional loans against the newly bought corn and bought more corn, and so on and so on..

Well either the price goes to $100 million, or we discover Coinbase et al think there’s 100 million coins in supply..

What a misleading headline! #Bitcoin is an open, decentralized network, not a political party. Anyone, anywhere, is free to use it. That’s kind of the whole point.

🟣 Not only the federal government owes $37 trillion. America is drowning in debt.

In 2025, they'll run a $1.9 trillion deficit (more than 6% of GDP) and pay over $1.11 trillion just to cover interest. More than the entire U.S. defense budget.

By 2035, the Congressional Budget Office projects U.S. debt will hit $58 trillion, or 130% of GDP.

Moody’s has already stripped the U.S. of its last AAA credit rating.

Their warning? Debt is no longer a long-term issue. It’s now a strategic liability.

Even worst: M2 is expanding again → Up 4.2% year-over-year as of March 2025.

That’s the fastest pace since 2022. We’re watching inflationary pressure return, while real yields evaporate.

#Bonds, once the gold standard of safety, are now melting ice cubes.

And still, #Congress continues to shovel more fuel on the fire.

The latest round of extended #Trump-era tax cuts, wrapped in the ironically named “One Big Beautiful Bill,” will gut federal tax revenue by $4.5 trillion over the next decade, while offering just 1.1% additional GDP growth.

I don’t see this as #policy, but arithmetic failure.

→ As trust is dying, #capital is flocking to #Bitcoin.

The new hedge against political incompetence.

With a fixed supply of 21 million and no central issuer, Bitcoin is structurally immune.

When fiat collapses, code doesn’t beg for bailouts.

Look, we’re experiencing a coordinated, institutional repositioning: 👇

🟠 Over 59% of institutional investors in the U.S now allocate at least 10% of their #portfolios to BTC and digital #assets.

🟠 #BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust crossed $50 billion in AUM in less than a year. #Fidelity is right behind. Total spot ETF assets are projected to hit $80 billion by end of Q2 2025.

🟠 The latest #Coinbase / #EY-Parthenon survey is crystal clear: 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their #crypto allocations in 2025. 59% of them will go beyond 5% of AUM.

🟠 Nearly 100 publicly listed companies now hold BTC on their balance sheets.

🟠 #Treasury management firms are spinning up Bitcoin-specific advisory practices.

👉 Now, sovereigns are entering the game.

🟠 In March 2025, the U.S. #government consolidated seized BTC into a newly designated Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

I see it as an admission. #BTC is no longer a threat. It’s an asset.

🟠 European central banks are buying too. Quietly, but with intent.

What was once ridiculed as “internet money” is now treated like digital gold.

#Nostr, I’m not writing about a “crypto story” here but about a capital allocation story.

The old model of relying on bonds is broken.

Real yields: gone.

Trust: gone.

The “risk-free rate” now carries systemic risk.

And we’re watching the global risk-free asset quietly shift from Treasury bonds to the hardest money ever.

𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵.

The world’s largest asset managers are already on it.

The next move is fully strategic.

Yours could be too.

Not really but If Bitcoin is praised by the govt then all those sheep will join in and start stacking. Theoretically.
