Europe's EMEA recommends to refuse Leqembi, Eisai's "anti-Alzheimer's" antibody. It's approved by the FDA in the US. I think the EMEA is making the right call. The clinical data and modest improvements (if any) are really not convincing imo.

True words. Thanks for pointing me to his channel!

Thanks for all the interesting content over the past years. Good luck for your future endeavors!

there are many more economic systems and philosophies than capitalism and communism.

And there is no axiomic overlap of progressive social or political views with the economic system of communism. Just because bitcoin's characteristics do not fit with communism a) does not logically infer that it's characteristics are therefore best fitting with capitalism and b) it cannot align wth a social or political progressive world view which can exist completely independent from the desire to adhere to a communistic economic system.

That's provocative but simplistic and not true. Bitcoin is money. With a specific set of characteristics that differentiates it from other money. But these characteristics are not connected to capitalism or any other economic philosophy/system.

incredible indeed. but at least it wasn't announced with a fax.

I think this quick dip and spike was more a result of computer trading and not really emotion. They are programmed to sell on any "shock news" no matter the asset or content of the actual news itself (would have looked the same for the stock market had it been open). The quick recovery is then the opposite more rationale reaction as in "Meh,it doesn't really matter in the end "

Doesn't change the fact that bitcoin is a 24/7 pulsemeter to the news though.

Couldn't people use a BIP-85 child seed from one of their existing bitcoin wallets (where they normally already have very good safety and storage options established) and use this child seed as their Nostr identity?

with BIP85 I mean

Question to Nostr and bitcoiners:

is it correct that I can generate a child seed from a bitcoin wallet and then use it as my Nostr identity so to speak? If yes - given that many have a good storage option for their bitcoin wallet already established - wouldn't this solve the problem that some people see when tying their whole digital social identity to one Nostr key (and fearing to easily lose it)?

A key problem that the US has is thediminant power of the Fourth Estate. The media is too monopolized , polarized on purpose and actively working to dumb the populace down. This is not unique to the US but it is very pronounced in the US. As long as this is not addressed it will ultimately not matter who is in charge in the long run as the path down idiocracy-lane is clearly paved and an easy path to walk down for the people in the years to come.

there is a nostr elite?

Question to all the macro economists and freedom minded people out there:

Order 6102 is for many reasons an important topic for bitcoin. Most recently I read this article about the legal aspects leading up to it:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/national-emergency-executive-order-6102-and-the-heist-of-the-century-?mc_cid=6986670da3&mc_eid=UNIQID

I feel I conceptually understand both the rational and the criticism around Order 6102. What I don't understand and cannot find a lot of information about is if there were alternative solutions discussed back then to fix the problem that go beyond "let it blow up and it'll fix itself ". because even if this is a workable solution, it is not an "electable" solution.

what would have been alternative ways to tackle the problem back then that did not lead to confiscation? Were any of these alternatives tried out successfully in other nations in history?

I think the best way to avoid a similar future for bitcoin in the U.S. would be to present and lobby for those alternative solutions right now so that when shit hits the fan in terms of US debt and waning influence of the dollar (which it will), the alternative solutions have widespread support in congress.
