Little #GrapheneOS tip: Installing 'Markup' from the Apps app allows you to use the more robust screenshot editor from the stock Pixel OS. While you miss certain things like filters, the freehand drawing and cropping is far better.

The Markup app has no permissions, nor can it access the Internet.

don't think about material wealth

Instead, think about all the new freedoms, you will be able to afford

Balaji is still scamming with crypto grifters on his podcast. Soulless piece of shit.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN THIS CYCLE FAM.

THIS ISN'T EVEN THE FIRST INNING.

IT IS THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME.

THE SUITS STILL THINK WE ARE GOING TO SELL INTO THE PUMP. THEY DONT REALIZE WE ARE BUILT DIFFERENT. THEY DONT REALIZE BITCOIN IS A COMPLETE PARADIGM SHIFT.

THIS ONE HURT. SKIFF WAS SOLID.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, LIVE LIFE WITHOUT PERMISSION 🫡

I switched from Android to Apple a while back but have been kind of underwhelmed since then. And then given their App Store policies I have considered going back to Android. But I dunno.

I had a back issue that motivated me to a friend’s accupunturist. (And I hate needles, but the back pain was worse.) The doc fixed it in 2 treatments. That + stretches he recommended - have kept the issue at bay! I have recommended him numerous times - for the success & great demeanor.

What’s wrong with you?

It was overbought, especially in the setting of decline global M2 since January 1.

Sell your iPhone.

I'm a #grapheneos maxi now.

I have a sinking feeling that there is going to be a big problem with these new ETFs:

-To create additional shares of an bitcoin ETF, an authorized participant (AP) will purchase bitcoin and then exchange that bitcoin with the ETF issuer in exchange for new shares and then sell those shares on the stock market

-To delete (redeem) shares the issuer will buy shares on the market and deliver them to the ETF issue who gives them bitcoin in exchange.

Then the AP sells the bitcoin and gets cash

The APs make money by arbitraging the difference between the price of the shares and the bitcoin (or vice versa)

If they are attempting to create shares (buying bitcoin) but there is not bitcoin on the market then no shares can be created and the share price will dislocate wildly (trade above the number of bitcoin held in the ETF)

If they are deleting shares and the price has dislocated then they will be buying back bitcoin from the issue using shares that are above NAV. (meaning they are losing money buying less bitcoin back with expensive priced shares)

This works fine for stocks where there is always enough shares on the market at the clearing house.

This might not work so well when there are UTXOs that are not interested in being brought into exchanges participating with the ETF and there is a fixed and inelastic supply.

Trader chatter indicates expectations that the first day of ETF trading is going to be wild and likely volatile in both directions. Unclear what's going to happen with GBTC... potentially a significant unwind as some folks flee for lower fees.
