A dazzlingly average intellect. Atheist, Free/Libre and Open Source Software Maxi!

This is soo true. As a European I am pro Harris, the only reason being that I am scared of what will happen if Putin wins the war. Which Trump will ensure.

Bitcoin will do fine with either.

Are shitcoin scammers worse than "crypto" haters?

E.g. is SBF or Elisabeth Warren the worst?

My first instinct is to say scammers are worse than haters. But then I realized that the reason for that reaction is that I for some weird reason assumed that the hate has some ideological reasoning behind it, which I could respect.

Buut then many of the haters are really just protecting a grift of their own, or are completely uninformed.

If all the countries on Earth switch to Bitcoin, tariffs will not work to protect the US Dollar. All the countries of the world rejected the American CDMA mobile phone standard for GSM and America capitulated. I'm afraid, due to mismanagement of previous US Administrations starting with Nixon, the US Dollar is finished. For the second time in US History.

The only way out for America now, to preserve its position as the number one country for the mediation of money world wide, is to go full Bitcoin.

That means immediately making Bitcoin Legal Tender in the USA and removing and forbidding all regulations that seek to control it, under the First Amendment pretext.

When this happens, the genius of America will catapult Bitcoin to global reserve currency status via Silicon Valley. No other currency on Earth will have the internet as its backbone. The Ruble, the Euro and all other currencies would be exsanguinated as people all over the world sell their government issued fiats for Bitcoin.

America wins again.

America wins again because it will be the global hub for Bitcoin. All the expertise of how to handle it and work under its necessary limitations will rest with American know how, and no one on earth has a Silicon Valley with global penetration to rival America.

China will have two choices in this global battle for reserve currency status. They will lose this battle because they are linguistically locked away from the rest of the world, that does not use it's poisoned apps.

Only America has the opportunity to re-capture the "Guardian of the Reserve Currency" status, but this time, they will do it by merit, not by deception (The Federal Reserve).

Essentially, America now has a second chance to preserve its power. How they are getting so many breaks is bewildering; Trump himself being the most exceptional second chance.

Like all real Americans, I love Trump. There is no one like him; he embodies the American way of life, optimism, "Can Do" attitude, fearlessness and power. I hope he sails into office and keeps his promises to steer America towards peace while delivering prosperity by restraining, constraining and reducing the Federal Government. If anyone can do it, Trump can.

The US Dollar however, is a real problem, and all foreign governments (the most recent one being Nigeria, which has now abandoned the Dollar for the Naira when it comes to oil purchases), are sick and tired of the vulgar, impudent, corrupt, and murderous behavior of previous US administrations.

Trump can change all of this. By symbolically abandoning the US Dollar, and blaming the Federal Reserve for it, he can pivot back to "Real American Money + Bitcoin" Gold, Silver and Bitcoin.

Will he do it? We're all going to find out!

I thought he loved the dollar?? 😂

He should just pass on the advice he got in the movie: "Never go full retard".

It is a comedy about hollywood tropes, of course it is going to have inappropriate jokes...

Yeah, it surprises me every time there are toxic comments here. I know some people enjoy being like that, but it is such an anti-success strategy...

Ummm, typical of what?

People in different time zones?

People with a job?

People with a family?

People with non-nostr hobbies?

🙄

Anyway, to try to answer the question, I have had absolutely no reason to regret taking any vaccines that I have taken. Indeed I am sure that they have protected me from really horrible and potentially lethal diseases.

The idea of travelling to e.g. parts of Africa without hepatitis, yellow fever, cholera vaccines is just bizarre to me.

Would you do that?

Covid vaccines I am less sure of, but having immunocompromised people close to me, I may have helped them avoid getting a possibly lethal disease.

Obligatory xkcd references:

Got vaccinated today. Yellow fever in one arm and the latest Covid in the other arm. Does that trigger anyone?

I would never force anyone to get vaccinated. But I did ask an unvaccinated relative to not come to a week long family get-together where my almost 90 year old mum would be too.

This felt hard, but not doing it felt like it would have been worse.

MSTR is the only way I can get Bitcoin exposure in some of my pension savings. So it is the least bad choice in those circumstances.

I mean, the alternative is traditional stocks...

But where there is an alternative I choose differently!

I don't think he loves anyone or anything but himself.

He only professes to love things if it gets people like him.

Local only. Have zfs nixos box setup rn. Actually very nice to have a "real" linux machine instead of a shrinkwrapped semi-proprietary vendor solution.

Great post!

Main rule for saunas: Show consideration to other users! Goes for nudity, steam, scents, hygiene, door and so on. Saunas are a more intimate place than most other where you interact with complete strangers. Act accordingly!

I say we name 100 sats "a todd". Having even mutiples of a thousand makes arithmetic so much easier. 1 million todds to a btc.

In honour of a stupid documentary!
