Fully agree with my six year old son… they should have a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That movie is awesome, forgot how good it was.

It will be an interesting 2024 in Argentina. Milei is in support of dollarization, ending the central bank, and supportive of Bitcoin. It remains to be seen if he would encourage government to use Bitcoin in any way. Argentina YoY inflation was 142.7% as reported by BCRA in October 2023.

Back the peso with some bitcoin

System Wide Exploratory Scenario… https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/financial-stability/boe-system-wide-exploratory-scenario-exercise/detail-on-the-swes-hypothetical-scenario

Physical gold and bitcoin are quite undervalued.

Uh, I love ceviche! Count me in. Even a beef tartare is not out of bounds

Wen 4sats/vbyte ⚡️damn channel close is sitting in onchain limbo and I’m too stupid/busy to figure out how to RBF the issue in CLN

Even in china they keep serving after midnight…

Always hated the term HR

Need to go back to chaoshan for some more hotpot haha

Using mvt-iOS to see if my phone has Pegasus or other spyware. Never tried it before, pretty interesting to use. Just have to use iTunes to download a local backup of your iPhone, decrypt it, and then it can match compromise traces against the files.

It did detect some false positives that I’m glad it found, but overall no indications of being compromised.

Nailed it

I had a nightmare about ruining a fish tank. Haven’t owned a fish tank in 6 years. Even my nightmares are stupid things to worry about. 😂

Taking a trip to Ninghai, Zhejiang. Middle of nowhere, looks amazing.

You’re right, but it’s not an issue for the task — I’d rather just have the resilience and small form factor. So far, performance is perfectly fine. Cheers!

Honored to have the opportunity to present in Beijing at the Financial Street Forum 2023 on Fintech Innovation in Capital Markets. Happy to share the work HSBC has done on real world asset tokenization, CBDC, and native digital assets.

I use an Intel nuc10 i7 running Ubuntu server with a “future proofing” of 32gb of ram, 1tb ssd, and 4tb nvme connected to a UPS. I made the 1tb sdd raid1 with a lvm of the nvme to ensure some better resilience. The amount of ram and storage was overkill but I’m certain it will last the next 7+ years without concern.

I am super stoked I got circular plugin working on my nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg CLN. Also happy that I finally figured out how to get my VPN working in China so that it keeps the bitcoin connection working but not breaking lightning clearnet connections. Small battles but learning a lot.

I am traveling in Chengdu - but hope to see nostr in chengdu soon

Chengdu hotpot

Fun time doing a panel discussion yesterday in HK Fintech Week with Elliptic on how big data can be used to make digital asset adoption safer. Lot of great questions from audience of both DeFi and TradFi. #hkfintech
