in an "age of abundance", why would I need a competitive advantage?

and wood. anything natural. a blueberry bush is already worth more thena skyscraper to me.

As soon as I put away the AI, I came up with the answer and fixed my code.

I think the real problem with AI is that when you try to use it, you disengage your brain. It's like the google effect, where you start forgetting everything because you know you can look it up on google.

⚡️🌎🚨 NEW - Global debt has passed a new all-time high, reaching $324 trillion in the first quarter of 2025.

This total includes :

- household debt,

- corporate debt (financial and non-financial),

- as well as public debt.

It's not just a figure: it's a clear signal of systemic vulnerability.

When the cost of capital rises, the burden of this debt becomes unsustainable for many economies.

History may not repeat itself... but it often has the same refrains.

You should flee as fast as you can from X and Telegram to SimpleX and Nostr. AI just want to collect all your data and communication. Even in the secret chats. DON'T TRUST THEM

I like Sats. I also like the idea of some inbetween (1k, 50k, 250k, etc) names. Bonus if they sound old timey, and can reference something as far back as the Carolingians or Rome.

The general consensus is that people who try to time markets get rekt. It's the same reason why you don't buy that course by the expert stock market traders who try to sell you their 'system'.

As a general rule it's ok to 'trim' your position if you have an extremely value use case for those funds in fiat. However that's not what you are saying. You purport to know the future and seem assured that 80k will present itself again. An equally probable scenario is that Bitcoin peaks locally at 200k but only reverts back to 140k and never retests 80k.

Remember Bitcoin is a protocol not a stock. It is a step change functionality improvement in base money on a global scale. I would put it to you that you don't yet fully comprehend what it is that you own.

Your best strategy is to focus on improving your capacity to harvest more fiat to then sweep into BTC for long term savings rather than to 'trade' your way into a bigger stack.

Just my two cents. 👍🏻

Yeah I don't agree with people telling others what to do with their permissionless money. It's hypocritical & intellectually dishonest.

If you've followed the game theory through, you should know Bitcoin has no top. It will keep accruing value while blocks are mined & the total supply is less than 21M.

Historically some have been able to accrue more Bitcoin by selling the "top" & then rebuying the "bottom". Many end up with less Bitcoin but some pull it off. Many missed the top last epoch because the bull run was stifled by the FTX Ponzi collapsing. These people have PTSD over this & the brutal bear market that followed.

The concept of the SuPeRcycLe is that we don't have a bear market this epoch. We just continue to grind up through to the next epoch. I subscribe to this theory & have no intentions of selling more than I need to.

Your Bitcoin is simply your unrealised optionality. Savings that you can deploy to make your life easier or more enjoyable. Nobody can tell you what to do with this optionality. You are the one that wears the cost of spending or hodling your sats.

I generally urge people not to act on their feelings of greed or fear. I've noticed that in Bitcoin this tends to result in outcomes that are unfavorable.

It's the same every cycle.

People are in such disbelief about how bitccoin is currently priced that they cannot foresee where it's headed.

I don't think Bitcoiners are immune to this effect.

There’s this idea that being a leader is some sort of a desirable position.

Being a leader is being of service to others.

It’s being willing to face the consequences of every decision.

It’s taking responsibility for everyone under your care.

It’s prioritizing others before yourself.

To die if necessary for others.

It’s not something you want to do, but something you feel compelled to do.

It’s not a top spot or perch to boss others around from.

Leadership is a sacred calling and responsibility.

🌟 Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) often find themselves in a cycle of seeking validation and admiration from others. This constant need can create an unbalanced dynamic in relationships, where one person feels overwhelmed by the other's demands for attention.

💔 It’s essential for both parties—the one seeking validation and those around them—to understand this behavior. Healthy boundaries and open communication can be key in navigating these relationships.

✨ If you or someone you know is struggling with this dynamic, remember that seeking professional help can lead to healthier interactions and improved self-awareness. Healing is possible! #Narcissism #MentalHealth #Support

IMHO nostalgia should be used sparingly, otherwise if becomes counterproductive to the progress. As much as we feel like we miss something, we should just move on and focus on the future. It’s too easy to waste your live reliving past that you are fond of. Onwards! 🫡🚀

In short, this is just the beginning.

Perhaps you should look into how brain works and tricks us. There is no magic

Today was one of my least productive days, like wtf 😂😭
