Do you want to be hugged, do you want to be smooched, by a NORMIE? then let them see how you hard you work to create products they love and drive down those prices. and all you ask from them: is to let you convert their payments to the one thing they told you over and over again that they DON't want: bitcoin

bitcoiners: productive weirdos producing all the commodities that Normies want and consuming the one thing they DON't want: bitcoin ---- speaking with a retiree who paid $60k for a house in 2018 that is now unaffordable: "so many would-be retirees from Charlotte and the coast are buying homes here that they never retire to" he pointed out the empty houses on this street. i told him: "they need something new to buy like space travel or something" that made me think, normies who want to buy houses must LOVE bitcoiners. all we do is drive up the price of bitcoin. we don't compete with them for houses, we don't compete with them for new cars. all of the bitcoiners i know take an interest in producing quality commodities in the form of soaps, steaks,etc to buy one commodity that normies are NOT interested in: something invisible that you can't live in, can't drive, can't use to produce anything else. feel good about yourselves, bitcoiners, you will be loved by the normies who just want to OWN their first house.

OODA -- observation, orientation, decision, action Acronym coined by air force pilot John Boyd for maneuvering into the tail position in a aircraft dog fight. The pilot that could complete his OODA loop quicker had the advantage and could take the first shot (The New Face of War, Berkowitz, 42).

---information technology for torpedoes--- "The movement of the linkage between the gyroscope and the rudder contained information. The gyroscope was "telling" the rudder how many degrees to move to correct the course of the torpedo. Unintentionally, Whitehead had designed the equivalent of a simple, highly specialized mechanical analog computer. The linkage was doing multiplication. If, say, one degree of gyro movement produced two degrees(The New Face of War, Berkowitz,83)." Excerpt from "The New Face of War" by Bruce Berkowitz Soon after Howell introduced his torpedo, Whitehead came up with an even better solution. Instead of using a big flywheel to keep the entire torpedo properly aligned, Whitehead used a small flywheel mounted in a swiveling cage to detect when the torpedo strayed off course. That is, he used a gyroscope. Gyroscopes had been around for almost a century, but they were mainly curiosities-scientific toys for demonstrating the laws of physics. Spin the wheel of a gyroscope on a tabletop, and inertia keeps it in a constant plane, even if the table is tilted, which is why guidance systems that use this principle are called inertial measurement units. Whitehead connected his gyro to a rudder at the tail of the torpedo with a mechanism that was a masterpiece of Victorian design. The gyroscope connected to a lever, which connected to a valve that con-trolled a gas line from a tank of compressed oxygen. So whenever the torpedo began to stray off course, the gyroscope swiveled left or right, moving the lever, which activated the valve, which allowed the com-pressed gas to fill a small piston-and-cylinder device that operated a crank controlling the torpedo's rudder. Whitehead needed this Rube Goldberg arrangement because a gyroscope produces only a tiny amount of force as it rights itself. It takes several pounds of torque to move the rudder of a torpedo moving through the water at twenty or thirty knots. The compressed air pow-ering the rudder mechanism was able to overcome the force of water as the torpedo raced to its target. An engineer would say the linkage produced a "mechanical advantage." But this step was significant for an even more important reason. The movement of the linkage between the gyroscope and the rudder contained information. The gyroscope was "telling" the rudder how many degrees to move to correct the course of the torpedo. Unintentionally, Whitehead had designed the equivalent of a simple, highly specialized mechanical analog computer. The linkage was doing multiplication. If, say, one degree of gyro movement produced two degrees(The New Face of War) .

Taking advantage of cold weather and shut windows (so as not to scare neighbors)to try this: "BYA BYA BYA Bya BYA"

i took the 60 seconds to switch to bitcoin knots on Start9. super easy. this is how voting should be done in the future. "two roads diverged in a yellow wood" ---Frost? "hast thou chosen, O my people, on whose party thou shalt stand, 'ere the doom from his worn sandles shakes the dust against our land?" lowell

judo move of using an opponents' force against them: a foreign country (let's say Russia) decides to leverage the force of the American legal system against it's own developers and pioneers of digital freedom tech and open source software. they spend some money, gain some influence, update some code, nuke a network, implicate all parties in one fell swoop. then the crushing weight of the Empire's own laws and political opinions come crashing down on its own citizens. i don't even make enough money to pay for the prison sentence of one of these sentences. 100k USD per prisoner per year last i heard.

Craigslist Personals shuttered in March 2018 in response to the passage laws holding platforms accountable for user generated content. Gone were the "Strictly Platonic," "Casual Encounters," and "Dating/Romance" categories, as well as the "Missed Connections" sections. nostr came on the the scene 2 years later. i think nostr is "Found Connections"

an easy way to make more than just 21 million bitcoin? make 42 million bitcoin with a hard fork of: lindy bitcoin noderunner edition bitcoin institutional capture edition what would a bitcoin treasury company like Strategy or Metaplanet do if another hard fork on bitcoin happened? does Strategy just issue bonds on both? and see what sells more? this would be confusing as heck. or do they sell all of one and buy the other?

finally looked up the charmign curmudgeon himself, Luke Dashjr: "Spam is generally and broadly defined as anything that people have not consented to participate in and don't want to participate in but are being force to against their will." "Everybody who has adopted bitcoin has agreed to this monetary use case and financial transactions and even to an extent smart contracts, but everybody has not agreed to storing other data, processing altcoin stuff that's not even part of bitcoin like the ordinals and inscriptions. So the fact that there is not unanimous support for these things means they are spam." ----------ok this is what i agreed to as well. when i see the blocks on the mempool explorer googles, that's what i imagine being stored in my node. blocks of monetary data. it's the "monetary aesthetic" that max keiser talks about

we just need to know who owns how much of the money no one should be able to paint stuff on their Rai stone so to corrupt bitcoin, it didn't take Terahashes of compute power, it just took a marketing campaign to add functionality to the code and completely taint the whole thing reputationally if not functionally.

"i think it's a coin toss whether they are or not" "this looks like some kind of leveraged ETF that would not get into the S&P500 no matter how big it is--but that would harm their credibility" "they could punt on it: we are still considering it." "maybe due to political pressure. this administration has clearly staked a position that it is very pro bitcoin. the S&P is a regulated entity as well. they exist at the mercy of the SEC. they are not immune from political pressure. "more likely than not, they will approve it".
