Congrats. Just realized I passed 3 years on the 20th myself.

Iceman Calls Game. Bear. Fucking. Down.

The checkmate here is Club Orange is a meatspace social driver. You get something like this, all you have to say is: “let’s talk about it at the next meetup.”

Threat over.

So you would have fought knowing your families assets would have been taken and liquidated? The property of his wife and parents were put up for bail and thus tied from what he stated today.

Granted you could argue that was a tactical error but once done it was too late.

Listened to the Bitcoin Today twatter space with Keonne Rodriguez on the Samourai Wallet case today. For me, everything boils down to the fact that the SDNY ignored FinCEN's ruling that Samourai was not a money transmitter.

The fact that it did not end there tells me this was just more Biden-era lawfare against the Bitcoin slash crypto slash digital asset industry. You can tuck this in right next to the Operation Chokepoints, the assassination of Silicon Valley Bank, and the other egregious actions the Government has levied against the industry.

The facts never mattered here. In any of these things. This is abhorrent abuse of the justice (sic) system against our citizens. Especially when you realize that violators in the tradfi realm get menial fines and a slap on the wrist.

"For liberty and justice for all." -- Absolute bullshit.

Checking out SNL vet at Wiseguys.

Taxes. I will never use it day-to-day until US tax code and treatment changes regardless of it being a great store of value or not.

Honestly though, what does that matter?

Bitcoin per Share is the most moronic metric out there. It's yet another thing created to separate a fool from their money. It would only be valuable if you could redeem your shares for said spot Bitcoin.

Confidence breaking may be an understatement.

I've been curious as to what happens to Bitcoin if the MSTR complex breaks. I think you could make a legit argument that he has been responsible for price appreciation over the last 3 years.

If MSTR breaks and price plummets, odds are the ETFs follow suit. I cannot see any reason why they wouldn't and that has been the massive buy pressure over the last 18 months as retail has been long gone.

Since 1871.

Spot on. What is most worrisome to me is if this drop truly is the result of that 10/10 flash crash event, Bitcoin isn't as anti-fragile as we believe if these we're still constrained and at the mercy of market makers.

What I also don't like is obviously something major happened that day. If people did blow up due to getting auto de-levered, I don't like how we don't know who when this is supposed to be a (semi)transparent system. At least we knew with Luna, FTX, et al.

All that being said, the money printer is getting ready to get turned on. Markets are shit, unemployment is spiking, and the very thing that Trump and Republicans hang their hats on looks awful and now they have to worry about midterm elections.

I've started air frying mine. 350 for 8 minutes on regular, 12 minutes on thick cut. Usually flip half way through on the thick cut. Put bread heels in the bottom to soak up grease and prevent smoking. If it isn't crispy enough, I'll then hit it with max crisp setting for a minute at a time until I get the snap I want.

The air fryer is the one household device that has changed my eating. Can make everything in it after experimenting. Hell, you can throw a couple eggs in with your thick cut bacon and have a beautiful soft yolk hard boiled egg.

Like you, the first thing I notice is there are a lot of fucking pills and drug imagery. Also, the color red seems to be prominently used in the disruptors -- Trump, war machines, money, robotics, drugs, etc.

While I agree with your statement, I don't think his statement says he isn't financially invested in it. Just says no further investment is being made. Technically we have zero clue if any Bitcoin dev has financial stake in it -- all trust, no verify there.

We've had a couple folks are our weekly meetup that are doing the same thing because of how poorly this was handled. One holds a prominent technical role for one of the larger Bitcoin miners.

I really wish Core would take some ownership of how badly they bungled the social aspect of these changes rather than continuing to be arrogant, condescending pricks at every turn. While its too late here, I'd hope they have some lessons learned for future potentially divisive releases.

One of my favorite things about having a weekly Bitcoin happy hour here in Vegas are the drop-ins we get being a global tourism hub.

At our monthly book club on Sunday, we had nostr:nprofile1qqs00a6eqepc93wh9edgzw63mew4d00dwryjhvcytwu4nkk3mlhwtrcpzemhxue69uhhg6rfde4jumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0l38en6 drop in from the PNW (blaming this rain on him bringing it with him... iykyk), talk about his cool Nossie AI project, and a plethora of other Bitcoin-centric topics. Hey

nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet529sxsa, can I haz Nossie AI in Primal?

Last night, we had @Ton (dev of LightningCheckout.eu) drop in from the Netherlands with a crazy story on the ridiculous hoops he had to jump through to take his kids on a wild multi-country RV trip. Safe travels as they hit Mexico Light (LA) before heading into Mexico.

If you ever find yourself in Vegas on a Wednesday night, please drop in.

I'd be interested in a $5/month starter plan like Shopify has.

He probably believes it, but I've yet to see any of the AI futurists answer my question I always post to them:

"Can you explain how these monetary gains will be redistributed back to society? I find it hard to believe companies like Tesla will forgo "maximizing shareholder value" unless mandated to do so by the Government or taxing authority."

There is precisely 0.0% chance any publicly traded company is going to give away profit unless forced to do so because that opens the company up to lawsuits from said shareholders.

Yup. It’s been that way for awhile, too. Same with the city busses although I did see a Mullvad VPN ad on one.

I hope people are keeping receipts during this Zcash griftathon. You literally can find very little discussion on Twatter prior to the last 30 days. Oh, and look at the uptick in activity that just happens to coincide with the massive October 10th crypto liquidation event. Totally coincidental, innit?

Anyone that says this isn't a coordinated attack are just absolutely fucking braindead.

Most companies do not want to pay for true redundancy and resiliency.

It’s so bad over on twatter.

Bears Win! Cardiac kids strike again.

Every mainstream app will add stablecoins within the next couple years.

On a plane and my mouth is watering. I hope it tastes awful! LOL

Gradually then oh fuck.

I think it may depend on the contents of the box? Maybe a lighter wine gets the light box, darker or special release gets the right?

That said, if I got the box on the right, I'd almost expect it to be felt/faux velvet textured. The white logo also clashes.

There has always been a contingent here on Nostr that does nothing but zap hunt. IMO, origins can be traced back to the early zapathons where people were literally zapping for anything and everything.

Even if we don't hold on here, Clutch Caleb is real. Da Bears!

This way my recurring buys never miss.

Given enough time, people always show who they really are. What a despicable human being.

I buy myself dinner every night. My Strike DCA notification goes off when I need to ramp down for bed. Win-win.

We great talking to you. Just unpacked and added your book to the library.

Yes, markets and people are often irrational.

It's a Chinese AI company that has allegedly made breakthroughts with relation to cost in development of their models. The problem is there is no way to verify these claims.

1) All major Chinese companies are State sponsored.

2) I allege they have much more hardware than they let on.

3) I allege they are hiding energy and equipment costs or simply don't consider them because they are subsidized by the the State.

4) There are also rumors they've been working on these models for years and thus it isn't quite the revolutionary breakthrough people are making it out to be.

Besides that, I will say I think their methodology could help shave *some* costs for people that don't need the Cadillac of LLMs. They use less depth, phrasing, and some other shit to get better efficiency versus having a more complete model.

Yep. XRP was never anything more than a way to seed Ripple without having cede ownership stake or take on debt through traditional venture capital or fundraising methods.

The asset isn't needed to use their RippleNet network.

Additionally, there is also a reason they've now launched a stablecoin. That is going to be a defacto CBDC. That has been their overarching goal for several years now and they've been very open and honest about it.

I am a firm believer that you cannot call yourself a Bitcoiner and invest/own Ripple. They are completely antithetical. Any company openly stating they want to be global CBDC rails is nothing but evil and should be eradicated at all costs.

Further, it can be easily argued that USD pegged stablecoins essentially made all other cryptocurrencies aside from Bitcoin obsolete.

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I can literally go into almost any store and gamble my money away. I can buy weed on almost any corner. In certain counties, I can go and swap cash for sexual favors. Almost any vice you can think of can be satisfied in minutes. Almost.

My state government draws the line though when it comes to personal finance and protects me from using financial services like nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en. What's worse is one of my Senators (Catherine Cortez-Mastro) sits on both the Finance and Banking committees.

STDs and addiction good. Savings and compound interest bad.
