I was about to say, can you even imagine working down a mine like that being normal. I cant, really 🤔

I was the first generation in hundreds of years not to work down the mine. Thank fck for that as well! 😃

Life was very hard back then, difficult for us to even imagine.

People need to realize that hyperbitcoinization is largely a political ideology. It's not a thing that's bound to happen "because math". While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I also think advancing bitcoin happens far more effectively when one is dispassionate about such things.

Long tradition of miners.

Coal miners in Belgium crammed in a mine elevator coming up after a long days work in 1900.

Only after disconnecting and reconnecting Alby 🤷‍♂️ first attempts did not go through

Fixed, again…. For how long?

Had the same problem, fixed it be killing the connection and creating a fresh new one

If you are only able to view Bitcoin’s potential for success vis-a-vis the US Dollar, you’re really missing out on most of what bitcoin’s short-to-medium term potential actually is.

Hate me if you want, but I think hyperbitcoinization is currently not in the cards. Never say never. But if that’s what you expect to happen in the coming months and years, I think you’re just completely wrong about that.

At the same time, Bitcoin is going to keep growing and filling in gaps all around the world, where financial access is far more adversarial. It’s also going to revolutionize the reach of global payments, secure identities, and I believe things like Lightning are going to become ways to accept global payments from anywhere in the world for services, tips, and things like zaps!

Many people will convert their payments back into local fiat. Some will save in bitcoin. That’s okay! Measuring Bitcoin’s success or failure in absolute terms just causes serious distraction from what the near-term opportunities are.

Same. I would get ready with dry powder instead of being exposed to the stonks right now.

And if there is a huge financial crash, stonks are usually hit the hardest.

Everything that is not of tangible real value will become worthless due to inflation.

Just rebalanced my pension portfolio (the part of it that can't be bitcoin exposed) to precious metals, commodities and energy.

Dumping everything else.

Do a slow taper off of it. Took me a whole month to get to zero and that was still rough. Going without it for a few days will make you feel like crap but if you soldier through you will eventually get better.

I went to twitter today and commented on a thread where a ton of people were arguing that fining a millionaire $130k for a normal speeding ticket is totally fair & that this millionaire is then totally evil if they leave that country.

too long, didn't read. but yeah – he's gotten a bit bitter after getting so much shit from what's likely a small minority of virtue signalers...
