Swan just announced that they're finally live in New York i read the FAQ and, i mean, that's quite the caveat... "Buys, sells, and USD withdrawals are active. Bitcoin withdrawals are pending NYDFS approval." https://help.swanbitcoin.com/hc/en-us/articles/29044573254807-Swan-is-Live-in-New-York

if you're struggling to learn something and find it hard, remember that it's likely because it is hard and not because you're bad at it keep going. it's hard for everyone.

"I met Ross’ mother, Lyn, late last year, when I was in Miami to perform my Ayn Rand EP at the Atlas Society gala. The World renowned “Pimp On A Blimp” Alex Stein very sweetly invited me to a party being hosted by Tim Pool, where I had a lovely time and met a number of fascinating people, and late in the night I was introduced to Lyn. She ended up giving me a lift back to my hotel, and on the journey we spoke about her fight for her son, and music, and I told her I’d like to make a song. The next day, Lyn’s friend Martha Bueno sent me Ross’ 2021 Miami Bitcoin Conference address, delivered by crackling telephone from maximum security prison, and I listened to it all the way through, wandering around Miami, and it made me weep, and I knew then that it would be the basis of the record, which would now be an album, rather than just the one song. Making the record had challenges, to be sure. Getting the tone right was crucial. This is a man’s life story, after all. A man locked in jail, presumably for ever. The telephone recording is certainly the trickiest vocal audio I’ve ever had to work with. And then there was the small matter of how it kept making me cry, which gets in the way of recording vocals. I completed the record as Bitcoin was surging to $108,000, and the bitcoin 100k Christmas Parties that Clif High was predicting all those years ago were happening. Ross, meanwhile, remained in prison. But there is hope. In an address to the Libertarian National Convention in May, Donald Trump declared, 'if you vote for me, on Day One, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht.' Well, they voted for him, and Day One is fast approaching. Merry Christmas Ross. Merry Christmas Lyn. And Merry Christmas to you, beloved Meaningwave enjoyer. Enjoy this new album.

you use a logarithmic scale when dealing with exponential growth or decay, as with biological populations or network adoption where each new node has its own branch of nodes and so on it helps you see and understand the rate of change more accurately than a linear scale decibels, which is a measure of sound intensity, are also logarithmic because the human perception of loudness is logarithmic meaning a doubling of sound power is perceived as a constant increase in loudness, not a doubling it doesn't make sense to plot this on a linear scale

"In our time and culture, the battlefield of life is money. Instead of horses and chariots, guns and fortresses, there are banks, checkbooks, credit cards, mortgages, salaries, the IRS. But the inner enemies remain the same now as they were in ancient India or feudal Japan: fear, self-deception, vanity, egoism, wishful thinking, tension, and violence." —Jacob Needleman, from 'Money and the Meaning of Life' (1991)
