Most Bitcoin holders aren't yet all in. Most people aren't yet Bitcoin holders. GN 🌚

Doing some work with a housing services company and they're training a model to detect "non compliant" language in property advertising. For example, saying "great for families" is verboten because it implies preference for one lifestyle over another 🤡 Woke may be off the top level political agenda, but it's still extremely embedded.

A few months ago I got into an argument with a real estate agent who needed way too much info about me "for compliance". Today I get an email from them notifying me that they've had a major data breach 🤦‍♂️ Retards.

Overheard a couple of autists at work talking about pre 1913 societal values. Need to find my way into this group 😅

General vibe feels like March 2020. Lots of uncertainty, but government leaders naively posturing.

Not the WSJ, but similar (can't find the WSJ link but they also had an editorial "The Case For War" in 2003).

WSJ and FT capture attention of a large % of wealthy and managerially influential people. So, of course it will be coopted to push agendas - it's readership is too valuable not to.

Is @No Bullshit Bitcoin okay?

Midwits and all mainstream media right now: "War is peace"

UK's main mistake under Chamberlain was that they didn't prepare their army and navy for a potential war. Chamberlain was right to try get peace, but it was ineffective because the UK had no leverage. Today Trump is pushing states to increase their military capacity, while pushing for peace. I think this is a crucial difference. (Also, Russia is relatively week after 3 years of fighting vs. Germany after the invasion of Poland or Sudetenland)

Had a dream that there were massive jumping seaside birds called grones, and I kept trying to ask people "would you rather wrestle with a grone, or kickbox with an ostrich?". Couldn't get anyone to answer my question because Elon Musk was there and he kept making bad bird puns.

Maybe it was the top when the POTUS launched a memecoin 🤔

Brian Armstrong does at least make the case that Bitcoin will be the important global reserve asset. But he doesn't push back at all on the FUD that it's difficult to make payments with Bitcoin. Think he just wants to custody the Bitcoin, and do partnerships with Visa. Very sad considering what Coinbase could have achieved.

Have you ever gone on the internet and stumbled onto this combo of words, or perhaps non-words?: “Dogecoin.” “Shiba Inu.” “Hawkcoin.” �...

Jfc, Coinbase Commerce has managed to make paying with Bitcoin even worse than fiat

What's stopping a bank creating a special account with infinite fiat and just keeping the totals off book?

Government income tax bands: Nice pay increase you got there ...

Just realized I've been massively gaslit. Have been choosing western tech manufacturers for things like phones and cameras for better data security. But, isn't it better to rather purchase some of these from manufacturers in jurisdictions that won't comply with my government? Yes fine China can spy on me to some degree, but they've got much less power over me so on net it's better.

Was Elon's climate change warnings circa 2017 basically all just a grift to sell more Teslas? Not that I disagree with his current pragmatic stance, but the previous rhetoric seems to be an example of corporate lip service to a cause they think plebs care about as a way to boost marketing.

Never be embarrassed in public. No matter what you do, there's a worse image or video of you being annotated by an AI company somewhere.
