Ok! i was interpreting op as "opinion" and maybe "operative" as in psy op and it was making things just a tad more exciting.
What are ops?
I agree, many people don't want the hassle. As far as the tweet, I understand it that it's just saying that cheaper bitcoin for longer means that more people would have the opportunity to own a UTXO.
Have you any opinion what a UTXO minimum size should be?
https://x.com/bitcoinq_a/status/1775048046922932401 op doesn’t see the correlation to the ETFs with this lol
what is your opinion?
everyone finds their path. --- i love it. sometimes I'm not OK with that, but that's the irony.
i recently with trying to persuade index-investing friends/family to consider bitcoin.
Eventually if bitcoin is a thing, won't companies pick it up, travel their way up the index by market cap. Then all those friends and family will be investing in bitcoin with none of the discovery risk/fees/learning associated.
that sounds like it would require a lot of charisma and energy... maybe best to avoid altogether in that case.
i do see the value in not having to complete a "degree". Just go for a year or 2 and feel free to find your way to your own interests.
I wonder which university degree programs would people have a leg up on openness to bitcoin. I'm guessing history.
sorry, new to viewing threads. i didn't see the earlier convo. Yes i got vaxed unfortunately. I'm trying to separate paranoia from probable cause for a couple things. i hadn't heard of cancer being associated with it.

Opinions are like assholes: everybody has one, not everyone needs to see it. I usually keep mine to myself.
This is one opinion I feel a need to share. Maybe I shouldn't. 🤷♂️
I have heard only one song from Beyonce's "cowboy" album. Not interested. The lyrics, song and images are Ai generated.
Prove me wrong?
I found it to be a grossly disrespectful attempt at relating to "common folks." Tasteless artificial garbage prompts and minimum standard production.
Are those oil-can boobies?

She has enough talent to sing her own songs and the wealth to hire talented writers. She is naturally beautiful, aestheticaly appealing, and does not need to generate fake images of herself.
All the AI generated content is like watching your auntie go crazy on Facebook with a selfie storm of Snapchat filters - swearing the "fog" is just a dirty camera lens, and, no, really, her eyelashes *ARE* that fluffy "naturally."
It's weird.
I am not a fan. No amount of cool super-pretty, AI-generated Americana riding pics and fancy outfits are gonna change that. 😏
There is no life in AI generated songs.
Music is information. Our ecosystems generate waves of information, and communicate elements with sounds. It is what makes you either feel masterpieces or reject noise.
Our nervous systems have a built-in Bayesian signal processing and filtration system. Consuming artificial stuffs atrophies your neurological hardware.
There is an atomic level difference between sounds generated from living, feeling beings - and curated digital sound replicas. It is like the difference between an original oil painting and a digital replica print.
Sounds are elements.
Everything is information:

Have you ever tasted fresh, homemade whipped cream? I find it impossible to enjoy the synthetic grocery store versions after making my own. Try it. Go sugar free to regulate your taste buds for a week or so first. You can make your own with fresh heavy cream. Just 1/4 cup worth with a dab of vanilla and honey(or old gon'sweet strawberries), whip it up, in 60 seconds - voila.
You can never untaste that, like a great work of art can never be unseen or a masterpiece unheard.
Our ecosystems are naturally attuned to what is real. Nefarious, narcissistic skullduggery attempts to force-tune folks towards the mindless consumption of synthetic mass production trash. It is a terrible reality.
Please forgive my retardation. Maybe I just need a coffee, or a few thousand mile hike. I dunno. That needed to come out.
Thank you for reading.

it sounds catchy enough... are you saying that this is AI generated or you are guessing that it is?
is it just a catchy jingle to make people in Texas want to drive a Lexus =) ? head out across the western expanses of fields of bluebonnets and windmills and oil rigs, stop at someone's BBQ, and throw your hands up.
I think it sounds silly. and i kinda like it!
that corresponds with the year the Mayan calendar predicted end of an old cycle and beginning of another:

Austin is really amazing if you're outdoorsy and like swimming in the summer to escape scorching heat from June until mid-October.
The avg home price/avg salary ratio is 9 in Austin (similar to some West Coast cities) versus 2.5 in San Antonio and 4.5 in Dallas. Houston is somewhere on the affordability scale between San Antonio and Dallas.
Texas has a way of growing on you.

these are awesome , thank you
Ok, I agree with you. How would you push-back if someone asks why bitcoin miners in China a few years ago were causing more coal-burning to occur.
I know this was the past, and everyone should be free to use energy as they please. However, burning coal really just seems like bad idea. What if this starts to happen again in the next price cycle?
awesome! thank you
