U.S. government owns $5 billion worth of bitcoin and researcher Sachin Jaitly says that "as money supply was increasing, and as fear of inflation was increasing, bitcoin adoption on a sovereign level was also increasing." But it's complicated: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldelcastillo/2023/06/16/us-government-owns-way-more-bitcoin-than-any-other-countryso-why-arent-they-selling-it/?sh=415d1f291f32

EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. government owns way more bitcoin than any other country–so why aren’t they selling it? https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldelcastillo/2023/06/16/us-government-owns-way-more-bitcoin-than-any-other-countryso-why-arent-they-selling-it/?sh=415d1f291f32

What’s worse, supporting mainstream media by sharing links to their work, or conditioning followers to form opinions based on headlines?

I’m still shopping for which protocol I’m going to use. Haven’t “committed” to anything. This is good data though

Sorry #[2]​, asking around all the major protocols and didn’t change the name on this post. Obviously, I’m curious about Nostr! Can i delete a post with an error? Lol. My bad

I’m uninstalling my Reddit app as a direct result of their decision to stop showing me my own feeds which happen to be sharing protest content, in lieu of feeds that are similar to my preferences but aren’t protesting. #[2]​ is anyone building a Reddit clone on AT Protocol? nostr:note1av054khd62pp3l5a6ez82tggxs6mcl2wsgesvzfm7vjccpzmj0dsf05yjc

Is anyone building a Reddit competitor on Nostr? nostr:note1kmg50l065er3q5gg926seup0l9naapmm6yej8fdmaavqg49tf8dqw6jg38

I like to mess with hate algorithms by going to partisan news sites and clicking on stories about cooperation. If enough people did this, they’d change how they cover news: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/republicans-democrats-team-take-ai-new-bills

No, no, no. This only works if there’s a free market of different ideologies and ethics. So long as clients aren’t ACTUAL clones, the more diverse the ecosystem the better it is for EVERYONE!

Thank you for sharing!!!

I’M SO PROUD OF MY MOM! This beautiful, talented woman just had double-shoulder replacement and since she can’t lift her arms started painting HUNDREDS of these gorgeous rocks. Each one is inspired by the rock itself. A true American folk artist, I say!
