a friend of mine works at the ecb. He said to me once "dude, all my colleagues and managers say that bitcoin is a scam and too dangerous, they say to not invest in it". Amd that's it, here you go an another dude that will never do his own research because of some bias.
LI'd like to suggest a reading about this...long reading, but it explains exactly why you are right. As a man in my twenties, I can 100% say that the world of relationships without dating apps would be a gazillion times better.
Males in dating apps are cows to milk for money, girls can even be inexistent in a dating app...all you need is few bots acting like girls. That's enought to make boys pay for the service.
That's mental.

You choose your partner every day, consolidating your marriage. I'd argue that's exacly how bitcoin confirmations work XD
writing software is so painful sometimes. You sit ages never having big breakthroughs, sometimes it feels you're wasting time...sometimes you feel like you didn't do anything at all.
When things work the problem vanishes and suddenly the product is working.
Hell, that's a rollercoaster for sure
Little reminder that "Europe" does not exist. Americans are so used to think about their country in unified terms that they forget itm Europe is a puzzle, there's no political entity that has a voice as of now. Theybtried to do the "unified currency" idea but it didn't turn out well at all.
Europe is only a bunch of little states with big mouths, small armies, no nuclear weapons and, most importantly, a consolidated perception of "war" as an outdated idea.
What's happening is black smoke, there's no meat beneath it.
Veey smooth, well designed. The only thing that seems at odd with people is the idea of a PWA itself...normies are used to "installed stuff". Probably PWAs are still a good idea, especially for ecash, especially for orange pilling...no installation needed seems a brilliant compromise to embrace
CrapGPT is actually a good name. Let's market an LLM that purposefully does bad predictions about next words and whatever....
oh, you say they already do that? Mmm
If you got that, they'r doing some serious gourmeg targetized campaigns I guess XD
Don't y'all see a flooding of "Susan is a prominent investor" notes in here?
I guess that it's either Susan The Prominent investor being a bit exasperated for the corn market price....
or simply some #GourmetShitScammers in here
that looks so smooth, well done!
Really that is the opposite. The first one loses.
GenAI will - and already is - completely changing how we value online content.
They say that every time you repeat something, you actually say that differently. That is, you say a different thing.
I've just finished reading the article (from 2 months ago) that Nic Carter wrote for BMagazine. I have to digest it, but it's precious to understand the US financial position and incentives in place for this BSR, especially for me, an european dude profoundly ignorant about US markets.
Overall, I feel that Nic's position is reasonable and it merges with a thought I had ages ago discussing about bitcoin with some random dude: if things fall apart around you, your golden castle will not help much.
If the US economy collapses, you'll not be fine, being you a bitcoin holder or not. If grocery stores will be empty, if micro-criminality raises sharply, you're not fine.
Apart from that, SBR seems like a pushy tryout of some lobbysts to gain some sort of traction within the US political ecosystem. Is it really relevant for the US to be holding bitcoin nowadays? It is for individuals, yes, but at the US nation state level, what's the point? I can get the reason why El Salvador did it, but El Salvador is not the monetary global market-maker. It's like if US were to admit their weaknesses and their inability to keep monetary policies stable.
We know they are not, but it's way different if the US itself speaks that out loud by institutionalizing bitcoin reserves.
I know, in reality the corn will not be bought but only "kept", the manouver will be "neutral". But that is still a clear message for global markets. You're shouting to the whole Planet "guys, I lost it, I'll move to a new set of rules that I know I cannot break...because I don't trust myself".
Good luck with that.
I like the enthusiasm I see, hear, read about these days. But don't let the excitement drive you crazy...NGU is NOT the ultimate goal.
*Unpopular opinion alert*
Bitcoin will have tail emission in the future. There's no other way, with the current system a point will come in which block reward will be irrelevant compared to fees. At that point, miners will be either:
1) State financed, thus they will not bother with profits anyways, or
2) will be gasping for money. There will be q serious incentive for block stealing instead of focusing on building the next block.
