Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I didn't realize you were just numbering them, but obviously tiresome to actually verify.

The best method for this is still just printing out the words & cutting them up.

I do like SeedSigner's new offering as well.

Easy to verify & supports their project.

Mirror polish, and you won't be able to scratch it with just about anything much short of a diamond ring. Production is progressing nicely. Just imagine frying an egg on this thing, or searing thin slices of wagyu beef.

Incredibly difficult to verify this setup's integrity.

#[0] so I found a couple suppliers that can get the ball bearings. If you remember the price you said, got a quote for just under half of that (though 2 of 3 sere above). Asked for 6mm, but as you can see here, that might be small. 2048 6mm (6.15 would be expensive since custom) balls will fill about 200 mL volume and weigh 1.8kg, whereas 8mm also pictured, will be about 4kg and fill 475mL (will have quote on those later).

I'm thinking we can get some nice Yeti style bottles and 3x space filled seems like it would be good for mixing. Might be possible to do first 4 letters of words, but tbh, would be a bit of a pain on communications side since people already know the sequence of integers.

Bugatti is getting in on ordinals.

Yes this is real.

April fools, sir. 🤣

My guess would be swanbitcoin or cashapp

I think you’re a KuCoin Stan.

The Bitcoin Standard sucks. I can't believe people are still recommending it as a serious piece of work.
