I thrive in incomprehensibility.

Lucky Duck! I got an email saying I was able to download and the connected link just took me back to sign up for the wait list...

Fiat is what it is, and I will utilize it to the extent that it benefits me.

To me, the point with bitcoin is that I now have a second option of what to hold my value in other than dollars and things denominated in dollars which means I no longer have to go down with the fiat ship as it continues its intended, and mathematically necessary, plunge into ruin.

Looks like I've got a LOT of new frogs coming!

I still use picasa. Every now and then I check for something better, but to just organize and view photos (not edit etc) there's nothing better I've seen.

Because people actually go to NBA games. People don't go to WNBA games. Salaries are direct results of how much money teams make.

No one cares about the WNBA it's a niche & a small one. Highschool football in just Texas has more people that care about it then the entire WNBA.

I mean I don't even give two shits about basketball or honestly sports period but I know millions do and markets set pricing based on demand. The WNBA is about as in demand as used personal hygiene products. Sorry, not sorry.

Perhaps the headline should be "person manages to make a solid living playing a game that nobody watches"? That seems to be the reality and a much more positive look at the situation.

I can't think of a game I enjoy playing that I wouldn't play for six months a year for that money and be quite glad about it. And without looking into it any further it appears that it's some 'reporter' not the player who's pissed about it.

I literally have only heard about the WNBA through posts like this.

I've noticed when I check posts in Primal it shows any spam posts in reply. Neither iris nor Snort show these. Not sure what the difference is or if there's a setting set (or not) in Primal, but since you mentioned using Primal before I thought it worth noting...

Interesting and encouraging to see that, in at least some cases, 'police dogs' are no longer being trained to smell cannabis.

Anybody else scared shitless by the 'Black Riders' in the old Rankin and Bass Lord of the Rings animated films when you were a kid? Just came across this screenshot and had a total 'flashback'! :)

This isn't mine, I got it somewhere and don't recall who said it:

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treat someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" and they think they are being 'fair' but they aren't.

Understanding the value of being a whole coiner in a simple way:

First, imagine that all the Satoshi coins were in circulation instead of locked up—all the whales' coins were in circulation, all of it. No lost keys, no lost wallets, no stranded coins, no Michael Saylors, etc. All are up for grabs.

Now, imagine that you can only buy up to one full BTC at once, no halving, no mining. Mining would only be for verifying, and all the coins were in one place and had to be bought into circulation. Again, any one person could only buy one bitcoin during the launch. You could buy less but not more than one.

Now, let's do some math...

In this fantasy situation that will never exist, there can be a total of 21 million whole coiners.

There are 333 million people in America. In a perfect scenario, only 6% of the US population could be whole coiners.

There are 1.02 billion people in all of "The Americas". In a perfectly divided scenario, only 2% of the population of the entire Americas could ever be whole coiners.

There are 7.9 billion people in the world. In a perfectly divided scenario, only 0.27% could be whole coiners.

When you become a whole coiner, you are adopting an emerging asset with absolute scarcity—a global monetary instrument. You become part of a group that represents the top 0.2% of the maximum potential that will ever exist.

Every bitcoin bought, every new person on the planet, etc., reduces that percentage even further. If bitcoin reaches maximum adoption (which is likely), whole coiners will be the wealthiest 0.01% of people on the planet.

The sobering reality is that you may not live long enough to see it happen personally. Most of us came for "number go up," but the reality is we stay for our future generations once we realize it is more about "freedom go up."

Not every time, but quite often, when I see a post like this I'm able to think of how frustrated and angry I'd be if I hadn't let some red neck duck farmer convince me of the importance of bitcoin and that at $20k / I could still be an 'early adopter'.

So;

a) I thank you (and my grand children thank you) and

b) These numbers make me think that both points are still the case.

You know what. I have a limit too, and twitter is well past it.
