Phone on grayscale. What does this four-dot meme mean? And what’s the order of the colors?
“Conspiracy theories” is now MSM short-hand for “conclusions reach after reading investigatory journalism.”
Sounds like an interesting book. Civil war is a touchy and almost off limits subject to most people.
I highly recommend it for ALL American bitcoiners. The Civil War established a lot of important precedents rooted in “needs.” Many of the government financing tactics we’re familiar with today are derivatives of what they created from 1861-1865.
It also helps ground some of the concepts we’re trying to explain to skeptics in real history that many of them are at least familiar with.
ETH is meant to be a confusing alternative to bitcoin used to keep the masses of doing what is otherwise obvious: save their productivity in bitcoin.
I have recently finished reading Ways and Means, a book on how (mostly) the North financed the Civil War. The Treasury had a similar fight against gold investors. There are all sorts of tactics they used to convince the public to buy government bonds instead of gold.
History doesn’t repeat but it often rhymes.

lol … try transmitting that energy more than 50 miles. Can’t do it.
I don’t think that is right because we’ll just run the old code the way it was. They can have their fork. If it messes with the incentives, the miners won’t go along. That’s the beauty of bitcoin. It doesn’t need everyone to adopt it, just the people who want to [be free and get wealthy].
15500 to go. Tick tock.
Anyone know where to find an accurate representation of CPI calculations based on “original” 1980s logic?
Okay, so the beef is more the overall ethos vs. that specific strategy. 👍🏼
How does this specific strategy *blow-up* like FTX shitcoin trading? Missing out on bitcoin appreciation is one thing … but bitcoin / cash to avoid the liquidated long positions doesn’t seem like a terrible strategy if an entity had the tools and calculations to do it. The market eventually will build these tools which *should* smooth the volatility of bitcoin (without dampening bitcoin’s overall success and limiting the profitability of these strategies overall).
Not advocating for the common person or common business staying humble and stacking sats but if you have the tools, the exchange, etc. like swan does I do see how this could work.
Am I wrong? Would appreciate a legit conversation here…not just the typical maxi response (I consider myself a maxi and don’t trade … I just use swan and have recommended swan for years).
The answer to our current situation is personal responsibility, not collective action. #bitcoin
Dedicated 2 weeks at $200/hr … seems reasonable for a Western developer doing some complex website integration that you (presumably a novice?) are struggling with.
I’ve had some friends do geographical arbitrage and find an Indian programming firm to do the work at a lower rate. It was brute force functional work without need for design and aesthetics.
Because they put in the work.
I think the “problem” with nuclear power and bitcoin is that Bitcoin sets the risk free rate for discounting future cashflows very high. And nuclear requires a lot of capital upfront with a long tail of cashflows into the future.
Bitcoin is more likely to thrive with natural gas power generation for the foreseeable future (while methane is very cheap, relatively).
I agree nuclear is superior to wind/solar/hydro but I just don’t think the economics justify building out nuclear while Bitcoin is still being adopted and achieving CAGRs 20%+ annually.
Could be, I don’t know enough about programming. But the MLS user experience is bad on both sides (customer and agent) so assuming there is a good technical fit, the quality of the programming wouldn’t need to be all that great.
Then it is just a function of the “network effect” dynamic NOSTR users would have to overcome.
Taking down the real estate agent cartel would be pretty epic.
