I am watching what is left of my family fall apart. People are just loading proverbial guns and shooting themselves in the proverbial feet. There are going to be funerals. There are going to be bankruptcies. There are going to be houses lost. I can't do anything about it without risking the well-being of my finances and marriage. I would have to set myself on fire to keep lost and low-functioning individuals warm.

The primary value of Bitcoin Knots is to understand the extent to which node runners can disrupt business as usual. They tell you they are concerned about the expiration cutoff. It's FUD, because node runners can easily override it with a simple config update. They tell you that they are concerned that this is a unilateral situation where nobody is reviewing the code. It's FUD because you can see several contributers in repo the pull request list. Eventually we will draw them out. Eventually they will admit that they are scared of losing control to a user revolt. Eventually they will show their true colors.

One of my in-laws told me he finally bought bitcoin this week. 1) It was paper bitcoin. 2) Another in-law confided in me that he couldn't hold onto it for more than 3 days, because he was losing sleep over such a risky investment. THREE DAYS. NGMI.

Did my #33pages today. This book is okay.

Bitcoin influencer Rich says: Everyone needs to ape into bitcoin so hard that they cry like a little girl in the fetal position when it goes through a correction! 99% of them will absolutely, statistically bitch out, and it's absolutely hilarious that they listened to me!

The free market is so complex and such a delicate dance of competing human incentives! Don't let the commies tell you an economy can be planned, because they have NO WAY of knowing what is going to happen. Anyway, here's my next guest, who thinks he knows exactly where the price of bitcoin is going! Hint: ITS NOT DOWN View quoted note →

Bitcoin Influencer Rich says: My sponsor is ColdCard, so you should buy a ColdCard, even though I have no idea how to use 99% of the features and neither will you. Good luck figuring out which of the myriad implemented standards evolve into unsupported footguns! View quoted note →
