Here we go... Mandibles! "China’s state-run iron ore buyer has told major steelmakers and traders to temporarily halt purchases of all new BHP Group cargoes, escalating a pricing dispute that risks upending one of the mining giant’s most important trading partnerships China Mineral Resources Group Co., created by Beijing to bolster the country’s sway in the global iron ore trade, asked domestic buyers this week to suspend purchases of any dollar-denominated seaborne cargoes from BHP, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing private deliberations. It means new deals can’t be signed, including for cargoes that have already left Australia, where BHP has its mines. The only BHP iron ore available for trade are some supplies that have landed in China and are priced in yuan." https://archive.is/ffSxn

Waiting for the "far right" description to be applied to people opposed to digital IDs, which are literally the most right wing thing ever.

Just realised the three little pigs is a story about Bitcoin. Currently most of the world are living in straw houses with their government cuck bucks. Some quite smart people are living in stick houses with their "gold". Luckily, some of us are in brick houses with #Bitcoin. In the final scene of the story when the big fiat wolf tries to climb down the chimney in his last desperate act, the Bitcoin piggy boils him alive and eats him for dinner.

Been on hold with HMRC for an hour now because they've stolen (tax) more money from me than they're legally allowed to. Feeling so radicalised against the state right now 😡😅

Bitcoin exchange rate goes up and down, but it's mostly irrelevant to my personal financial situation. Yes I may be richer or poorer on paper any given day, but the choice of saving in Bitcoin means that I actually own my wealth. This is the ultimate peace of mind.

The UK's Labour government is a disaster, but on the bright side at least the Lib Dems aren't in power

Feels like everyone on Nostr home schools their kids. How the hell do they do that? Some of us need 2 incomes 😅

LLMs are Uber for the mind.

I'm trying to imagine a more top of bull market shitcoin moment than the POTUS launching a memecoin that dips 50% on day 1. This is 1000x more 🤡🌎 than Novogratz getting a Luna tattoo. What could possibly top it?

The best trees are deciduous.

TIL that over a quarter of UK government debt is in the form of inflation index-linked gilts ("linkers"). This means that the UK gov can't use the strategy of inflating away the debt since that amplifies the debt burden. So I guess actual bankruptcy and default are on the cards.

Latest South Park episode about sycophantic AI is a more insightful critique of AI than any mainstream source I've read

@calle @franzap which of these is the legit Bitchat?

Bizarre interview. This guy goes on about Christian love and laments abortions (agree) but has absolutely no sympathy for immigrants. Thought Peter might have challenged this, but he got completely railroaded. Also weird section where his friend got arrested for having porn on his computer. Kinda sus.
