In probably a month or two I'm getting a zap tattoo
Friday night is here!
Time to blaze up and watch some amusing shite 😅

Something that's been on my mind for a bit... a lot of plebs scoff at investing in stocks or anything else that isn't Bitcoin.
This is absolutely fine if you are out of the rat race and financially independent.
However if you are still fiat mining, it is helpful in a practical sense to have fiat world investments.
Personally I consider any Bitcoin I buy as long term, never gonna sell, put a portion into LN for zaps and IRL transactions, most into cold storage. If it's in cold storage it's hodled.
But I also need to hold a portion my wealth in something quick and easy to liquidate without having to worry about AML, CGT, etc. including for major purchases. After all I'd never want to convert BTC to fiat even if I could do it easily.
You can still do this in a Bitcoin centric manner. For example I own stock in MANA, a Bitcoin mining company. It loosely follows BTC as a general rule.
My stocks are in an ISA so all profits are 100% tax free.
Is it sound money? No. Is it still very useful for hedging inflation while remaining relatively liquid in a fiat world? Yes.
Think practically, rather than emotionally, when allocating your capital.
Just my two sats.

It's hard to tell. Seems to have lost media sympathy (although why they're still showing it for his gf idk) but ultimately it'll come down to how many politicians he still has in his pocket.
Yeah sux. I wish it would embed YouTube and Rumble links too instead of just showing a link preview.
I always download YouTube videos (mostly music videos) in 720p and throw em in a bucket so they embed.
Most music videos are only like 15-20MB at 720p with modern compression so not a big bandwidth hit either.
Damn Amethyst doesn't embed audio yet :/

True, this is why the US likes proxy wars, but wars offer net benefits to the heads of states in the form of fear, propaganda, divide and conquer among your own people, a pretext for increased state power and surveillance, and ultimately, of course, you come out the other end with the state granting itself much more control.
This is why in 1984 "we've always been at war with Eurasia."
Even from a purely economic perspective, the military industrial complex is in the US. War is good for business.
The conditions for warmongering are:
1. The existence of states

Btw I 100% agree also that free expression is good for mental health.
And not even just because you don't have to alter how you speak. But because it also means there's no algorithmic echo chambers.
Being exposed to dissenting opinions and debating your beliefs is absolutely essential for mental growth.
Literally 1984 shit. Language corrupts thought.
I've also noticed YouTube shadowbans comments with "Davos" in them. No lie I always check from private browsing and my comment is gone. Only I can see it from my account.
