The GDP this chart is based on includes government make-work spending right? that should really count as negative GDP. How much worse should these numbers look?
A cheat sheet for calculating bitcoin cap gains cost basis? 🙏

And really it's better that state's aren't given bankruptcy protection, it would raise the borrowing costs of all states. Better to see the deadbeat states default on their bonds and let the market downgrade their creditworthiness and/or shut them out completely.
As a native, now ex-Californian I think the only possible plan to the governance/financial problems there is 1. No more bailouts, 2. State bankruptcy and debt reorganization, 3. Socialist pols voted out of office, 4. Drastic spending cuts, 5. Years of painful recovery.

Do we just remain patient?
There are folks working on SP for BDK already, you can see some of the required steps for a full impl in this tracking issue:

Austrian economists are bitcoiners who don't know it yet. The exceptions, of course, are Peter St Onge (is he on nostr?) and nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak. Last night I added an Austrian economics event to the #bitcoin #homeschool and game conferences I've experienced. This was a Mises Institute dinner with their president Tom DiLorenzo the headline speaker. These are super nice people and all libertarian-minded but their reception to my bitcoin inquiries was pretty cool to tepid at best.

hey guys, here's a bit more info on the Kyoto CBF (Neutrino) node project. It's already integrated with BDK, but still early so needs more testing.

The dev who built it is rustaceanrob who I'm sure would be happy to join the show some time to talk all about it.
#Bounty Alert:
100K sats for a great Coffee Shop name that is bitcoin/nostr related.
Name must still make sense to non-bitcoiners and non-nostr users. don't go super heavy, a play on words probably makes most sense.
Name must be catchy, clear, easy to say, 2 to 3 syllables max.
Think something clever like nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h but since they have the best name ever. We are on the hunt for the next best name.
This is not a programming bounty. there are no criteria to be met here lol, but I will honor the bounty if I pick your name suggestion. Also it will become the name of the Cafe!
#CoffeeChain has been considered, but it is being used as a name for a shitcoin. so probably i'll have to skip, unless you think it doesn't matter.
Elliptical curve (EC) cafe
SHA256 coffee
Double SHA cafe
As long as you can still edit the expiration date and republish the key to the key servers your key is still good!
