Excited to be on Nostr and engage with the community. Many shared ideas!

Thanks to Nostr I now know what pura vida means.

This morning over breakfast, my husband who spends his time on finance/bitcoin only like 10% of what I do, was discussing the news and said we should get some more bitcoins.

Literally the cat breakfast newspaper meme.

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.

又到了一周一度的摆烂环节。

这周也没干什么，单纯觉得整个人状态不行，做什么都没有动力。

目前恢复状态的初步计划是：利用褪黑素一类的东西调整作息 + 每天放空自己摆烂一小时

Going to start utilizing this platform more, especially for more nuanced bitcoin talk.

Is worthwhile to post charts/analysis here, even if it is similar or even a direct copy of what I post on Twitter.

Let me know 👊

Is there a nostrich symbol that is plain & simple like this?

Hashrate is like water, going globally where costs are lowest. A ban is just a raise in cost.

Gonna have to re-watch some movies soon:

- The Big Short

- Margin Call

- Matrix

- Fight Club

What else?

Synonyms for Bitcoin
