Just ordered a new Pixel 9 Pro XL, got the 1TB model in Obsidian. My 6 Pro has been a solid companion, but it was time to upgrade. Pretty excited to feel the performance upgrades.

I agree with the first one. Volunteering with humane societies in the #US I have that bias.

The local veterinary community agrees with the foods used. A milk base onto wet foods then dry as different developmental stages.

Have you found fleas to be problematic? That’s a common issue when groups come in.

We have humane societies and no-kill shelters in the #US Many rely on private donations.

One way to keep up with what is happening is to watch the news. But governments control their populations this way, so while you will hear about many things, you will not hear about others, and you will be given politically-correct programming.

Ground news tries to show you which news sources are left and right, and fill in your blind spots.

Alternative news gives you stories you don't see elsewhere: greyzone, revolver, people on substack, youtube and rumble videos, etc.

But people lie and exaggerate for many reasons. They may say something is true because they wish it was so ("Ukraine is winning" or "Russia is stronger now"). They may express certainty for multiple propositions, when in reality they are far less certain about one of them.

You could have a show where people are required to not just express their views, but also give a confidence level. But they still would lie and exaggerate.

You could make them put money on the table. Then they will be less prone to lying and exaggeration.

Betting markets do this already. What is true, what confidence level do you have, and also people must put skin in the game. But they are more about events that have not transpired yet. But hell... those are even more interesting than what already happened.

It would be awesome if there were betting markets about past events, including recent newsworthy ones. If that existed I would read that to get my news. The obvious problem here is adjudicating and settling the bets. Maybe the winner is whatever the majority believes 3 years hence. People who bet COVID came from a lab would be paid out already. People who bet against Russiagate too.

Honestly I don't know. I was just hoping I'd convert my shitcoins from 2018 with some profit than loss. But I don't have enough knowledge. Just reflecting they all went down quite a bit vs. what they were a few plus days ago. I do know they are not outperforming Bitcoin this cycle though. Am just looking for the most strategic time to convert to Bitcoin. I am sure any btc maxis would say, anytime is good.

For every naysayer who thinks Bitcoin today can be attacked…

Performing a successful 51% attack against #Bitcoin is not impossible, but is financially debilitating.

Is the shitcoin bullmarket over now?

Thought experiment.

Option # 1

Let’s say you have 10 bitcoin and we hit 2 million in the next few years.

You’re tempted so you sell it for 20 million dollars.

After taxes you’re be left with 16MM.

Which you use to comfortably generate 1.2MM a year in the tradfi markets.

So you take the money and retire.

Bitcoin crashes 60% back to 800k.

For a few years you feel like a genius. You enjoy your new rich person lifestyle.

You even buy back a few bitcoin. 2 to be exact. 20% of what you used to have.

Then bitcoin rises over the next decade to be worth 50 million per coin.

You’re worth 120 million now. And you decide to sell a little over half a coin and upgrade your lifestyle again to be able to generate an additional 2 million a year.

You’re now on paper worth 120 million, you generate 3.2 million a year (266k a month) and you’ve been largely stress free for the last decade.

Your kids will inherit roughly 1.62 bitcoin from you upon your death.

You have some level of regret about not hodling through, but you’ve been largely stress free and the mental health benefit was worth it in your mind.

Vs.

Option # 2

You have the same 10 bitcoin but you Hodl them.

Your stress levels are persistently higher.

You also decide to retire when Bitcoin hits 2 mil, but you decide to do so in bitcoin terms.

Your plan is to sell a little bitcoin as needed in order to fund your lifestyle.

This is roughly 1-3 million sats a month. Depending on bitcoin price.

Over the course of 10 years you end up selling or spending 2.4 bitcoin and are still left worth 7.6btc when bitcoin reaches 50 million.

Your net worth is 380 million.

You’ve reduced your lifestyle in bitcoin terms down to a million sats a month. (500k) or 6 million per year. You’re 46, Assuming you live until you’re 90 you will pass down 2.32 bitcoin to your kids.

You have no regrets about the way you played it, but your stress was consistently higher and there were a few scary months along the way.

Which option do you choose?

1 or 2?

Are you sure you’ve remembered that correctly 😂

Still thinking about this….

Zapping solves the internet sarcasm dilemma. nostr:note164a44uzlaxxsw5fft0hk79wgvk4ysz2tktus2j9wk7a7ghmrk54qxrnzfv

I’m so old I remember when chickens came from eggs 😂

😂 Okay. I'll try it around family this Christmas in a closed beta test and see how that works out.

Imagine being British and understanding irony 😂

My girlfriend broke up with me.

Everybody here discussing strict diets and such

I am like: Give me all the carbs, all the meats, all the veggies, all the oils, all the nuts, all the alcohol and all the deserts. I am going to cook it myself.
