Blessed by tech; working to bring the benefits to everyone. Freedom, incorruptible money, privacy.

Unconventional take: viruses are nature’s misunderstood allies.

We’re taught to fear viruses but if you dig deeper, you’ll discover their hidden and beneficial purpose.

Many viruses act as the TCP/IP network for the internet of biological organizations. Using reverse transcription and horizontal gene transfer, they shuttle genetic information between organisms. This gives organisms the new “software” they need to evolve.

Viruses do trigger disease in some organisms but, in many cases, this is an indirect result of the organism’s immune response overreaction caused by existing poor health.

So, the next time you ponder viruses, think beyond the fear. Celebrate those as little workers, doing their part to help life thrive here on earth.

An interesting deep dive into how has pharma has captured regulators and medicine. Reveals the lengths that pharma will go to suppress low cost medicines in favor of more profitable, less effective ones.

Our medical care starts to make sense when you realize that you are more valuable to pharma if you are sick than if you are healthy, and pharma works tirelessly to increase demand for their products.

I’m hearing the bitcoin etf may be moving forward… a positive court ruling with greyscale.

I don’t care that DCs are “opt-in”. If normies get rekt, they’ll blame bitcoin. And rightly so. A system is only as secure as its weakest part.

People are comparing it to 2015. I like to think that the full cycle is 3 years of boring and 1 year of excitement.

I’m also expecting an s-curve where one of these upcoming cycles accelerates above prior trends. It feels like we’re approaching that day as global debt levels rise, dedollarization gains momentum, etc.

Until then, we have an opportunity to get cheap sats from bored people who don’t play the long game.

It doesn’t seem accurate to say that drive chains are noncustodial. The assets held in drive chains are subject to a group of people (miners) acting properly.

To me, this seems like just another federation. Like Liquid. You can also hold your own keys in Liquid. Liquid may also be more decentralized than the group of miners. 🤷‍♂️

Wow, who knew? 10 million times greater risk! 😱

I’d like to support a decentralized wallet, if possible. I’ll check around to see if I can find a trusted one that supports.

Thanks! Appreciate it. My wallet (Muun) doesn’t support and I figured they would soon so I waited. It’s been a while. So maybe I’ll switch. What do you use?

Yes, I agree that we need better self custody and inheritance solutions built into the base chain.

I personally consider self custody and inheritance to be unsolved. Right now, I’m not aware of any solution that is secure, private and provides inheritance for most hodlers.

The solutions I’ve come across are highly complex.
