I dunno. I've been very bullish on the zaps function. I think that will have a retentive effect., eventually

I stuck around for the Bitcoin atmosphere

But I notice that posting, reposting, responding to people and multiple conversatiins on posts doesn't lead to increased networking or reciprocation

I take that as a sign there just aren't enough people on the platform

Getting zapped for just saying GOOD MORNING NOSTR is cute, but it's a sign the content value of the platform is in its infancy

Sunstack belongs on NOSTR. I would have read so many more writers if it weren't for all the friction involved

Instagram is so going to integrate the zap function

I'd be more satisfied if the guy shakazilued that pompous prick

I've got nearly ape-like capacities with computer programs.

Which is where listening to Andreas Antonopoulis' recount of his early days of trying to break Bitcoin, or find an error, I found inspiring

I hear he's copped a great deal of flak for playing with other coins

I don't care

But I'm kind of envious of his having a solid, sustained,, professional level of computer skill, applying it to going down it's rabbit hole, but by trying to break it, identifying it's parts, how they work, trying to outwit the code, it's designs.

I just stick to Bitcoins philosophical, emotional, behavioural, socioeconomic, metaphysical implications, macroeconomics, laws of physics etc

But he's gone the full Monty, and I'll never go there

soooo, kudos from me to you Anthony

Investment firm kerrisdale capital goes short on MSTR calling is share price "unjustifiable"

looks like FASB came in Dec 2023 if I just heard that right. hmmmm

if inflation in the base money supply increase on average 9%, and a thirty year bond is at 3%, ChatGPT calcs (which might be wrong, I dunno):

Sure, let's recalculate using a final price for Bitcoin in 30 years of $10 million:

Given:

- \( P = \$70,000 \) (current value of Bitcoin),

- \( A = \$10,000,000 \) (final value of Bitcoin in 30 years),

- \( n = 30 \) years.

We need to solve for the CAGR (\( r \)) using the formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + r)^n \]

We rearrange this formula to solve for \( r \):

\[ r = \left( \frac{A}{P} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1 \]

Let's plug in the values:

\[ r = \left( \frac{10,000,000}{70,000} \right)^{\frac{1}{30}} - 1 \]

\[ r = (142.857)^{\frac{1}{30}} - 1 \]

\[ r \approx 1.1034 - 1 \]

\[ r \approx 0.1034 \]

So, the CAGR (\( r \)) is approximately 10.34%.

Now, let's recalculate the offset needed to counter the debasement caused by the 9% inflation scenario:

\[ Offset = A - \text{Treasury Bond Value} \]

\[ Offset = 10,000,000 \times 18,100,000 - 1,000,000,000 \]

\[ Offset = 181,000,000,000 - 1,000,000,000 \]

\[ Offset = 180,000,000,000 \]

So, approximately \$180 billion worth of Bitcoin at \$70,000 per coin would be needed to offset the debasement caused by the 9% inflation scenario over the 30-year period with a final price of Bitcoin of $10 million.

So, 2,571 Bitcoins approximately

shame they'd have to do some work to get that much........

What size BTC allocation would the US Treasury need to have in the thirty year bond auction for a Trillion dollars, at the current rate, to make every investor on the planet sit up, piss their pants, and scream "BUY!"?

When apple does put BTC into the Treasury they'll offset any potential investor fears by saying "Yeah it's a volatile asset. We will solve this issue by buying the dips"

I'm light of Micro strategies permanent drip feed of BTC Viagra into the stock

What happens to apples stock price when they sit in say, %5?

Someone big, sometime soon, is going to do this, pointing to MSTR "look what happened when they did it"

I'm saying this will happen the week FASB comes into full effect the end of this year

In honour of Jesus' stunning rampage through the money changers, which of course led to his crucifixion, I propose a new epochal definition to making the historical calendarterms BC and AD I to the terms

"Before Bitcoin" B.B

and

"After Bitcoin"

it's a necessary update considering the Bitcoin effects of resurrecting human spirit from the dead,

Absolving all debts peacefully, foriving the sins of the state by peacefully ignoring the motherfuckers, and the turning of waste energy into platonic gold

among other supernatural, divine acts

if you're going to mark the consensus calendar with something, what better to define it's edges but by the transmutation of th human species base consciousness from a reboot and a softwareupdate to fucking awesomeness

I enthused to a normies friend that The zaps feature that NOSTR has taken on, will be the new feature on social media platforms that makes them thrive

I think the zaps feature incentivises worthwhile, neutral, positive, helpful, material. without punishing dickheads while effortlessly and nonviolently moderating the sociopaths. I said this felt like a system that cultivates gratitude and the new moral man

it feels to me.like a self healing mechanism in the human race spread a runner under the soil into a sunny, healthy part in the garden. it allows the old plant a respectful place to wither and die in it's own tim, while it thrives in the sun

I didnt say that last bit to him, that's my values, which are predicated on freedom of speech and commerce as primal sovereign rights

But he's a far leftie, and I forgot about that

He was muttering retorts about " but where's the moderation?".

Eye rolling. I should have known, I forgot who I was with

But, I just quietly sit with that.

Zaps captures the primal wiring of the human brain to attract us towards that which gives us Holistic Capital. such as love, surprise, pleasure, intelligence gathering, contemplation, education, hope, etc. this isn't left or right

Incentives baby. He'll come on board with those primal incentivew and eventually he'll claim it as a leftwing idea of healing and community

Whatever, I've seen the future, and it is good, as good as your incentives

Yes, they have. perhaps like parker lewis says, the information has been more widely distributed and the signal stronger

Icelandic PM (greenie) says growing veges is hard in a freezing cold environment, but we'll try anyway - and BTW, we have to stop Bitcoin miners using energy

here's a thought: use the Bitcoin miners to heat the greenhouses

hmmmm. I hope it works for them. my gut feeling is it's like being a prepper. you need to prep for disaster long before the scenario could play out, not when youre in its grip.

I note there was a case of testosterone treatment leading likely to liver cancer

The narrative against oestrogens has surfaced a couple times now over decades. itt always goes back in the box. these a crap ton of.money to makeselling highly patentable synthetic oesteogen.

it's early days, like where the awareness of statins negative effects was at twenty years ago

it's studying the known negetive effects of estrogen on the respiratory chain that I feel clear on. not much good can come from that in the long run, like saying the impacts of anemia on your life are manageable

Guys, you got to Bitcoin because you could think for yourselves.

This situation is no different

What will happen (and its in the process of unwinding now, slowly) when the world wakes up to the incompetence - and it has been incompetence - of the "great" world-builders thought to be the smartest amongst us?

gee, I think some recent event reminds me of this......
