I just heard the scariest story in a while. Someone told me that they had been traveling in China and, on the way out, the border police pulled up a tool that showed countless photos of this person taken by public surveillance cameras during their visit.

These are CCTV cameras in public. Faces classified with AI. All data gathered in a central location. Don't even think for a second this is never going to happen where you live.

That's a level of dystopia I didn't know we were already in.

Been orange piing a friend since 2015. Just this month as he saw Bitcoin headed back to ATH territory he said "you better be cashing out this time". I've tried so hard but there are no other seven words that describe my failure better.

That said of course we want to enjoy the fruits of our hard work and good fortune. Boring wrong with trading Bitcoin for other things if great value when the time is right.

But "cash out"? No.

Only 2 million? Boo.

Hmm… bitcoin can only appear to have a deflationary effect as long as fiat inflation keeps going right? Seems to me like fiat would explode in frenzy of inflation, and then the deflationary effect of Bitcoin would go to zero. No?

Bitcoin entering traditional markets is a deflationary force 10x and potentially even 100x greater than AI.

This could allow inflation to run far hotter for far longer than previously estimated.

Bitcoin is an infinite container for cheap dirty fiat.

Wen Walmart confirmation tweet lol

Anyone remember this, lol.

Classic.

"On the morning of Sept. 13, a press release was distributed online via GlobeNewswire, a legitimate press release distribution service with the headline "Walmart Announces Major Partnership With Litecoin (LTC)."

The press release claimed Walmart was announcing a partnership with the cryptocurrency Litecoin and would start accepting the alternative digital currency as payment. The release included quotes attributed to Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and Litecoin creator Charlie Lee.

With the press release making the rounds, cryptocurrency blogs started sharing news of the Walmart and Litecoin partnership. Soon mainstream financial news outlets such as CNBC covered the release, with headlines like "Walmart to accept payments with cryptocurrencies using Litecoin." Reuters hit the news too, its piece consisting entirely of just a few sentences.

With many cryptocurrency advocates excited over the news, the story officially went viral.

Some crypto critics, such as the user behind the popular Twitter account @CryptoWhale, saw red flags with the press release. But, the cryptocurrency community saw the mainstream media coverage of the news as confirmation. When the verified @Litecoin Twitter account shared the announcement on its feed, that solidified the news."

I’ve been thinking about this. I think each planet will have its own time chain for sure.

I think people will be hashing earth-bitcoin entirely in earth’s gravity well. The moon is about a light second away, which means the speed of light based latency will cost you maybe 2/10tof a percent of your net revenue when hashing on the moon. That grows the further way you get.

Now, when it comes to where people will store their money, who live on Mars, transactions will definitely be slower if they are using the earth bitcoin time chain, but using the time chain of the place with the highest rate will be valuable for security and also for maximizing the likelihood that the time chain will keep operating.

I think some people will want their assets on the Martian time chain because they expected to grow, I suppose this would be a speculative play at the future value of the martian time chain.

I think this probably also means that asteroid belt minors will have regional time chains. Because the sign is too far away, maybe the asteroid belt would be split up into tens of different regions. I think asteroid belt time chains that would happen a lot later than a flourishing Martian time chain.

As we go out to other stars, I think it’s very unlikely that people will still try to use a time chain whose transactions require years and maybe decades of centuries to settle.

Hear me out... each planet should maybe have its own timechain

Great! Just trying it out. Apparently you can send to Nostr contacts by entering your Npub. Pretty cool 😎

Worked! Thx!

Check your Nostr Dms

Tell me if you get this, testing something.
