Did the thing. Cashier roller his eyes, called a supervisor. I asked if we were making his life difficult with all these lightning payments. "A little bit," he said. Supervisor knew how to do it, though... Chop-chop, easypeas.

It's been a while (78 goddamn days...) but I. AM. BACK. #chess #grind #life ...and yes, the graph looks like a BTC/USD chart. Related?!

Such quatsch. Strip these ivory tower dudes of their credentials. (And laugh at the poor "journalist," James Baxter-Derrington, who put together an unbelievable mess of stupidities in one short article) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/investing/whine-all-you-want-bitcoin-is-still-worthless/

Politics isn't about the clown show on TV, but at the base of it about deep philosophical questions @Stephan Livera

Bitcoin Won't Let You Transcend Politics

Bitcoin is not an escape hatch to stop caring about the political process.

You can think about life in games -- an insight popularized by James Carse or great like John von Neumann. Nate Silver's new book _On the Edge_ does a great job flushing that out-- in all manner of domains: AI, x-risk, #bitcoin Refreshingly: the bitcoin summary, while tangential to the book, DOES NOT SUCK. #bookreviews #politicstr #nostr #plebchain "Whether poker hands, public policy, or how to estimate the risk of runaway AI, On the Edge is about how to think well about a problem. That’s a worthy exercise for all of us."

ah, for fuck's sake @cjasonmaier: "Some of these people are Libertarians who are fully committed to individual freedom, but are unwilling to respect a person’s gender identity" Why is this the hill to die on? And you know perfectly well that libertarian ethos have to do with _state power_, not the delusions others have about their sex.

Trump And The Future Of Bitcoin

Reflections on the recent support growing for Donald Trump in the Bitcoin space, and whether this is actually a rational long term decision.

Reeee-taaar-deeeed. Imagine being an _economist_ (i.e., someone who studies markets) and thinking there should be LESS MARKET and MORE STATE around. Christ, our civilization went to hell in a handbasket.
