Have a nearly 13-YO daughter. The music she listens to is bad. Girl singer-song-writers whining about their depressing love lives, rappers talking about the usual, lot of sad, drug and booze-themed songs too.

Now I listened to Zeppelin, Floyd, Rolling Stones, etc. when I was that age, and they were degenerates (and Floyd was depressing too.) But it had some balls, some depth.

I don’t know, I can’t really stop her at this point without starting WWIII, but it’s bad programming for a young girl. It’s vapid, derivative shit, and not offset by the quality.

Don't sleep on this bitcoin pump being driven by Chinese capital flight.

GN

is golf low time preference or a shitcoin? stack sats, eat ribeyes, and play golf?

can’t tell. dont hate it honestly

All of the #Bitcoin liquidity is sitting above $105,000.

We all know what this means.

ya then just fork it with a new cryptographic hash function and public/private key algorithm. satoshi even said the day would come

It is likely coming one day no? Even if that’s in 50 years, it’s still a potential problem for bitcoin right?

I mainly end up hiring workaholics. This is a consequence of seeking passionate, smart people who love their work.

So as a manager I mainly find myself telling them to take more leave and asking pointed questions if I receive an email from them far outside hours in their TZ.

But it also means I model the behavior I want, which helps me regulate my own hours. I have youngish kids, and my wife has her own career, so I try to stick to my weekly work hours. And I broadcast that to my team.

I want to work with these people for a decade, so it's a marathon not a sprint.

so ive been reading the whitepaper, the bitcoin standard, and trying to onboard to the bitcoin-core codebase as part of learning about bitcoin.

my main concern around hodling bitcoin was quantum, but it seems that there is already a BIP in progress to address this.

now i am wondering about free energy and moore's law... what happens when the cost of energy goes to zero and/or asics reach 1000x current efficiency. can mining difficulty increase infinitely? maybe by now this doesn't even matter because the vast majority of bitcoins are already released?

hey i’m new here #introductions

I live this now. Honestly, it’s taking some getting used to. I have a truck and a couple of guitars and my clothes. I travel the US with my wife and dog and anything that doesn’t fit in our Tacoma we get rid of. We’re just exploring right now and will eventually branch out globally.

Our hope is to find opportunities to make the biggest impact we can. My problem is “help” is a complex thing with a cascade of second and third order effects. Most of the bad in the world is done by people who are convinced they are doing good.

It’s also the Buffett conundrum in that any bitcoin I spend now will be worth much more in the future. So part of me feels like the best thing I can do for now is just protect my holdings for the next decade and stay focused.

People have noticed I’m retired in my 40s and living a very unique life so I have to say no to a lot of things. Which I’ve learned is a super power.

BLUE CHECKS WASTING AIR ARGUING ABOUT SATS WHILE THE SUITS WERE LIKE FUCK IT LETS JUST MAKE EACH SHARE A RANDOM FUCKING NUMBER LMFAO

i think part of it is because it showcases seemingly severe levels of delusion thats leading people to make objectively bad decisions (not that this doesnt happen routinely in the mainstream media)

this makes me uncomfortable

Part two of my previous #randomthoughts post.

Telling this story because I feel it’s a sign of the times, and it’s also kinda funny. I started dating this woman and things were going great. Knew eachother for a while but we’re a few dates in. Saturday we had a great date. Sunday we were texting all day. Sunday night she asks me if there’s anything we disagree about.

My dumbass says “idk, politics, religion, money?” Once she found out I voted for trump it was completely over. A dealbreaker for her. I don’t even like trump and I calmly explained my view.

Monday we tried to talk again but she was so unwilling to compromise, or listen and discuss things to find the truth. These liberal women are completely brainwashed. She ranted about trump being sexist and racist, about anthony fauci being our savior from Covid.

Yeah it wouldn’t have worked 😂. I feel like this is something new though. People are so divided right now that one disagreement on politics can end a relationship. Maybe it’s always been like this. I dunno.

I thought it was funny more than sad to be honest.
