Why do I still feel so skeptical. Feels too good to be true.
I’m watching a stream of one here that’ll be ready later this afternoon.
I found a stream of someone trying to synthesize LK-99.

But the labor market is strong…🙄
Has anyone tried the new Umbrel node yet? Any feedback?
Core PPI (inflation indicator favored by the Fed) came in WAY under expectation (0.0% vs 0.4%), so 10 year yield tanking. 50/50 chance of a pause on the 22nd by the Fed.

So SVB keeps AUM under $250B to avoid being declared a systemic risk bank with additional oversights. Before the stock crashes and FDIC takes over, CEO sells over $3M in stock and pays out employee bonuses. Then today, Fed declares it a systemic risk bank anyway and bails them out full stop, even though Yellen said we won’t yesterday. 🤡
Yet again, play with fire, get too big, and you’ll be saved. Rewarding poor risk management. (SVB didn’t hedge interest rate volatility risk like everyone is supposed to do)

Is there a relay ratings page anywhere?
Assuming that not all relays are created equal, would be cool to see which ones are most recommended based on uptime or other useful metrics.
Would this be accurate?
When the US, as the reserve currency, raises rates (which increases the risk-free rate to hold money at the Fed), that causes sell-offs in other major bond markets (like the UK).
So the other market central banks are also forced to raise rates to protect their currency and prevent liquidity from exiting their bond markets.
…they have a checkbook and no one checking the bank account. 😂
