You assume too much.

Gah! I set my buy triggers too low last night. Overly optimistic on the selloff.

I’ve never liked American wine anyway. 🇨🇦 (jk)

But, in seriousness, I’m sad for the businesses on both sides of the border caught in the crosshairs of this lunacy. And, deeply disappointed in our government for weakening Canada. We can do better on both sides.

Everyone should be allowed to think and express anything they want.

If everyone agrees with you, then you aren’t adding value.

Those who welcome challenging viewpoints improve their thinking, like iron sharpens iron.

Damn Apple.

Maybe it could be an onboarding option? Or a setup popup the first time a user clicks the zap button? Right now it seems like a bug before turned on.

Ah, that worked. Thanks!

Is it turned off by default? I didn’t see an option in settings.

Nope. Holding doesn’t do anything, and I’ve got 50,000 sats in there 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does the Damus zap button do nothing or is it just me? I’ve linked my Coinos wallet and seem to receive zaps but can’t send.

The vision of a bitcoin-denominated world is one of freedom and honesty.

But our society has asked for control (to remove responsibility) and dishonesty (to reduce complexity.) The people have created the system we’re in.

Can bitcoin change society or does our culture need to change first?

Thankfully, due to the emergence of specialization of labour, I can take my Japanese blades to an expert knife sharpener down the street who does this with much higher quality than I have the time to learn how to. I simply use a honing rod after each use to keep it true between sharpenings.

Can someone set up DeepSeek and ChatGPT and GrokAI to have a live debate with each other? I would pay to watch that.

I second that reco.

It’s logical if you look at specific examples too. Like, my dog has had to wear a cone on his head for the last few days, and I tried to imagine what other material than plastic it could be made out of. Anything else would be very expensive and less usable.

Then, when you think of all the other millions of applications of plastic in our world and how cheap it has made them for the same functionality as before, we obviously have benefitted a huge amount from that cost savings. Just think of how much plastic has made cars alone so easily reproducible.

Ignoring the externalities of plastic for a moment, the cost and efficiency improvements have obviously rippled through all of society. And that’s just one single innovation!

Now do the same thing for how we communicate, how we write documents, how we fly, how we produce food, etc. try to think of any single industry or activity you complete in a day that hasn’t been touched by efficiency and productivity improvements.

Now, ask yourself where have all those cost savings gone?

The only counterexamples I can think of are items that are truly scarce, such as single works of art by master painters, waterfront property in desirable locations, or gold, which can’t be produced more efficiently. but those examples prove the principle by looking at their dramatic pricing increases.

I think he might be saying that centralization *can* provide a spark for innovation by others. It’s not a necessary spark, though.

I was confused by that at first too.

I love it when overnight dips trigger my buy orders!

Thanks! He’s a good boy (the dog, I mean)

Agreed! Maybe we can all reverse the tide together.

Much appreciated!
