“P.s ... All I see are bitcoin posts, surfers and a few pics of naked dudes with their butts in the air on sunny days. Is that normal here”

So wait… it’s not like this over in Bluesky? What do they even talk about? 🤔

I never saw WoT as "easiest to manipulate," millions of bots would seem to have no effect on it from an internal perspective. Not perfect of course, but what's the better option in your opinion?

(I'm assuming WoT here btw or did i miss something?)

Let me know how it goes. Curious to see other people's results 🙏

I don't think you understand what "too-big-to-fail" means or where it comes from then.

Monopoly is also not a common outcome of free markets. To the contrary it is almost exclusively a result of government interference. If you think you have an example to the contrary, you likely aren't looking at it very hard or are simply recalling what we were all forced to remember without any real understanding from our 5th grade history books.

Which is an understandable default, btw. Not a judgement. But it's jsut like believing the free market caused the Great Depression and the govt saved us from it and WW2 finally got us out of it... all are so deeply and obviously wrong given a real investigation into them, but we were all taught the very opposite so that's all most of us "know."

Govt: "We need your information to protect you from criminals."

[checks notes]

"Sorry, I meant to sell it to criminals so they can kidnap you and your family until you give up your money."

i actually am really annoyed by the side scroll, lol. It looks good though

Bitcoin the ultimate collateral

You sound vaccinated

waiting for certainty before believing in your own success is a guaranteed path to failure.

It is necessarily so that you believe success is possible before you can even meaningfully engage in all that must be done for success to occur.

I memba'

Something that should be a red flag... every single time someone talks about how "sound money is bad for the economy," they point to price collapse caused by massive unrestricted debt creation.... which happens to be the single most obvious and ubiquitous product of fiat money.

Literally.

Every.

Time.

It isn't a coincidence that the people who print money tell you that money they can't print "iS dAnGEroUs."

Number 11 out of 30... gotta pump those numbers up 🫡

I'll be honest though, what qualifies as a "currency podcast" really? 🤨

Video and image gen models are getting so insane. Will be reading a piece soon on what happens when all forms of digital "provenance" begin falling into an ocean of "well i literally have zero way to know if this is real or not" and what that may do to the public psyche, the culture, and future generations.

It'll be on nostr:nprofile1qyf8wumn8ghj7ctnw3exzmpwde5ku6npqyt8wumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqqyza65fhwv3q3sss9qfdy6vl5qr0xvede4x903cdkkkpw2t8zc8z8cza963f if you are interested

Nope 😢

Still a few months on the "new" timeline

I just have much, much less time than I used to and have no intention wasting it on morons. I mute and move on.

I have to agree tho 😆

Quite the contrary. If someone runs up to you in the playground and slaps you, the proper response is to punch them square in the face and walk away.

The first person was violent and being a bitch, the response was perfectly justified.

I have lost all patience with the moral offense brigade. My patience meter *instantly* drops to below 20% when they come running in to share their imagined slights with the world like they are owed something.

I think I can make that work. Always down to talk pear stuff

What if the shit youre doing is pretty dope though? 🤣

lol, in what world do bitcoiners offer no "counter opinion?" Your other point is valid although i think it misses the point, but in my experience, bitcoiners are the most disagreeable people on the planet - with others and among their own 🤣

The people who say "but the data says" and ignore the enormous amount of ambiguity and bias in *recording that data,* and the core fact that all studies and all science begins with anecdotal data and personal experience, have completely reversed the logic of science.

If you ignore direct experience that occurs with immediate temporal connection in literally 1000s of people, and then shortly thereafter in an order of magnitude more, you've not merely made a joke out of science, you've let the perception of "medical authority" override your common sense.

Happy #Bitcoin Genesis Day

When did you last backup your keys or confirm your seed is safe? Do it today.

Consider, 2020 and the story of COVID is going to be in history textbooks soon… and every bit of it is going to be bullsh*t.

Now think about everything else you “learned” from a history book.

“If women ran the world there would be no war… right.”

😂😂

It’s…

A fucking password manger?

This is both retarded and insane from multiple perspectives. Seriously is this real?

30% of the US still believe the dollar is backed by gold.

I actually think it’s fair to consider all of the above, except for Bitcoin, as “unlimited” in their quantity.

You can always build taller buildings and humans forever have been making in habitable places habitable. You can always irradiate and put enough energy into nearby elements to obtain more gold and silver, at great expense yes, but no legitimate limit. Therefore the value of all is explicitly capped and cannot reflect society’s growth and prosperity as a measuring tool.

The only thing with the scarcity and capacity to carry that weight is #Bitcoin

“embarrassment is an under explored emotion, go out there and make a fool of yourself.”

Yup. For like 4 or 5 years now probably and the birth of both children.

Lmao I posted the wrong video 😂

It was one about a patient charged over $1000 with insurance and had a $270 copay, when the “no insurance price” of the very same work was only $44.

Now I can’t find it and am wondering if I even remembered to save it. But this video just shows they are doing the same thing to energy provision… which is a terrible omen for our future unless we find a solution to that as well.
