"There is but one step from triumph to downfall. I have seen, in the most significant of circumstances, that some little thing always decides great events." ~ Napoleon to Talleyrand, 1797

I have been making an effort to read some great works of literature and history this year. Books I've read so far in 2023: Human Smoke by Nicholson Baker The White Pill by Michael Malice The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy Currently Reading: Napoleon, A Life by Andrew Roberts I've thoroughly enjoyed and got something valuable from all of these. What have you been reading this year?

Bitcoin Maximalists have done more to protect investors from Crypto Scams than the SEC ever has.

If your cryptocurrency can't survive a State-level attack, it has no right to exist.

Crypto Bro's to Bitcoiners: "We all need to stand together against the SEC" Bitcoiners:

I get irritated when people refer to me or others as "my dude" or "my guy" in conversation. Feels like a type of condescension or passive aggression to me.

Man, I want to be able to use @primal so bad (it looks amazing!), but I just can't seem to get it to work for me and can't seem to figure out why. I've tried signing in with both the alby extension and the nos2x extension, and it signs me in without issue, but I cannot seem to use any of the functions. Can't like, cant post, cant retweet, cant zap. i can browse the feed, but i cant interact with anything on it. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone else pretty psyched for the Barry series finale tomorrow night?

I've heard that @Blockstream is on a zapping spree... is it true?

Testing Primal client. Looks and feels amazing, but few things seem to work. Can't like, cant repost, can't reply, can't zap, can't post a new note. Pretty much no functionality, but boy does it look good! @primal

"I'm super interested in Bitcoin now" ~ Jimmy Dore talking to Max Keiser now. Says he was orange pilled by RFK Jr.
