Testing backup.

As you get older, time flies. But looking back at the distance between these having cycles, it feels like an eternity sometimes!

I’m excited to see what happens over the next year and a half

I commissioned a Rive artist to flesh out an idea I had for the login with lightning button. I paid them in BTC. ♥️

What do you think?

Did this person have to manually add the sats?

Could the merchant have given them an invoice to make things faster?

🤣

Ok...GE. 10 days, huh?

That first glass of water int he morning.

Great read from @Marty Bent. I felt the same disgust when I saw Harris’s proposal targeting ‘price gouging’ at grocery stores.

C'mon...seriously?

This pandering is going to backfire when people (hopefully) realize they’re letting a Trojan Horse into their finances.

Thankfully, we have Bitcoin.

The code is justification that it isn't a pysop. It's all right there in the open.

As long as there is at least two of us, Bitcoin will always have some value greater than zero.

I think what you're seeing is capitulation.

Isn't this the damn truth! smh

i practiced my #Nostriga talk in front of nostr:npub1jrcfyw8n298jf83txvlxzx0w7jtfwqs0j4ha0dnn9ns33hgm209sqejdcc last night. she laughed a lot at one of the dad jokes. i'm not gonna lie here, this just made me want to include more dad jokes.

Careful with wielding the Dad force, jedi. It contains immense power, it also has the ability to manifest immediate awkwardness.

A fine, double-edged sword.

One of the things that I love about AI for someone who is a serial learner is that anytime I have a question or a curiosity I just simply ask.

While I may not be given the right answer every time, I at least have an answer that satisfies my curiosity. And then if I'm still interested I can dig in more and do some more research.

AI is really fucking cool.

Trying out Primal for the first time, thanks to the annoying insistence of nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx ... Looking forward to posting on #NOSTR more regularly (and weening off of X) via a solid desktop app! 🍻

Welcome! 🫡

I told my buddy, right after first halving, that his gpu farm to "mine" bitcoin was pretty cool, but then I completely ignored it. He wanted to teach me how to build them.

That was around 2012.

I haven't heard from him since. I like to imagine he's on an island somewhere drinking Mai Tais. 🏖

Price controls on food was a huge problem in the past. I'm all for lower prices, but we have to let the market settle that on it's own, and begin accepting that lower prices requires deflation.

1. Ancient Rome - Emperor Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices led to severe shortages and black markets.

2. France (French Revolution) - The Law of the Maximum set price limits on food, leading to shortages and black markets.

3. Soviet Union - Price controls were a central feature of the planned economy, often leading to shortages and long lines for basic goods.

4. Zimbabwe - Price controls under the Mugabe regime led to severe shortages and a thriving black market.

5. Venezuela - Price controls have resulted in significant shortages of basic goods, with many items being available only on the black market

Why?

Shortages: When prices are set below the market equilibrium, demand often exceeds supply, leading to shortages.

Black Markets: Price controls often create black markets where goods are sold at higher prices.

Reduced Incentive to Produce: Producers may cut back on production if they can’t cover their costs, worsening shortages.

Quality Decline: In some cases, producers may lower the quality of goods to maintain profitability under price controls.
