The US banking system is so fucked that the 13th largest bank is about to go under and nobody is surprised.

First Republic Bank had $200B in deposits in the fall, now they are worthless.

This entire game is about energy preservation & appreciation of your purchasing power, over medium/long periods of time. Strip all of the economic & financial dogma away, and keep it simple:

Technology is more advanced than ever, yet prices keep going up, as more units of currency perpetuate the system; it never ends.

The idea of an absolutely scarce monetary asset with supply inelasticity relative to demand, tied directly to energy markets with an ever increasing marginal production cost, is so profound, that most dismiss it outright; are repulsed by it even. It breaks worldviews.

A majority of people are so comfortably dependent on the incumbent system, that they will decide defend a ticking time bomb.

A small minority understand the system as it exists from within, yet defend it for reasons of self interest and greed; dishonorable but understandable given the incentives.

The rest are useful idiots, defending the system while being exploited by its very existence. This cohort is definitively in the blast radius, due to their own sheer ignorance and/or incompetence.

On the other side, there exists an intransigent and uncompromising minority of people who have come to understand the ultimate reality of both systems. Economic game theory and a desire for a different rules based order leads them to simply just leave to start playing a different game entirely.

Russia bad -- Bitcoin used by Russia -- Bitcoin bad -- Bitcoiners use bitcoin -- Bitcoiners support Russia -- Bitcoiners bad -- Ban Biticoin and Bitcoiners.

Major ASIC producers are seeing bigger sales volumes in Russia than the US right now.

Downside of #OnlyZaps mode: sometimes you miss cool people to follow :(

Turned it off and saw a bunch of lurkers(likers?) who seem interesting.

Think about #Bitcoin.

I would love to see a bluesky bridge ! I think all the different protocols should be able to interact.

Are you heating your home with this?

Something is happening tomorrow 👀

not a Star Trek guy but fatherhood is the real Kobayashi Maru…

Preschooler: “Daddy I have to poop. Will you come help me and give me privacy?”

Every time I launch a new thing it feels like giving birth a bit.

But then I look at my wife who is actually very pregnant and then I think I should just shut the fuck up.
