got the nicest email this morning from an old friend who, unbeknownst to me, has been going down the bitcoin rabbit hole. haven't talked in years, but he messaged me last week to say that things were finally starting to click. further proof that you can't orange pill people, they can only orange pill themselves ✨

if you can hypothesize its occurrence at all or expect it to any degree then it's not a black swan the term 'black swan' has been corrupted to mean anything unlikely or out of the blue its original meaning was something theoretically impossible or literally unexpected

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
