So are there any legitimate theories for this breakout above $87k?

According to David Bailey over on twatter, several agencies requested more time on the US Bitcoin audit and it should be done in a week. Are we believing this?

So... is the Government still going to ban Bitcoin?

#gm #nostr -- Idiot tourists are selling off their Bitcoin and I'm over here like: #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #80s #pop #electronic #synth

#gm #nostr -- Happy Hump Day, folks. Going into the one hit wonder pile for this bad boy. Those outfits... can't quit laughing over here. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #80s #pop #electronic #synth

#gm #nostr -- Monday. Back into the FIAT mines I go. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #80s #pop #electronic

#gm #nostr -- Hey all you homeboys out in Nostr, this one's for you. You're getting some of my childhood favorites this month. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #80s #pop #electronic

#gm #nostr -- Needed a feel good track for today. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

#gm #nostr -- With the month winding down, I'm realizing just how many classics I'm not going to get to share. This one came out in 1988 and is still better than 99% of new shit. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

We're saying this in a mocking manner because we're laughing at you and your "decentralized, ultra sound hard money."

#gm #nostr -- Weekend vibes. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

#gm #nostr -- TGIF! Time for an absolute classic that needs no introduction. Have a great weekend everyone! #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

#gm #nostr -- Well, its a Thursday. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

#gm #nostr -- There are only a handful of hip-hop songs I consider perfect and this is one of them. The Pharcyde were criminally underrated in the 90s. Hell, I still don't think they get the recognition they deserve. Side pivot, Delicious Vinyl was also a stacked label in the 90s. Also a little known fact is there is a Delicious Pizza and Record on Sunset in LA where they spin hip-hop while you grab a slice. Lots of cool hip-hop and DV memorabilia, album covers, and art. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

For me, the bigger issue here is the absolute blind trust being given to the AI Overlords already. I see BIG issues happening as models are retrained yet people still have that unwavering trust. Think back to SEO (Search Engine Optimization for non nerds) and how search algos were gamed over time. If you don't think external parties will find ways to influence models, well... "Used improperly, technologies can and do result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved," the researchers wrote in the paper. "A key irony of automation is that by mechanising routine tasks and leaving exception-handling to the human user, you deprive the user of the routine opportunities to practice their judgement and strengthen their cognitive musculature, leaving them atrophied and unprepared when the exceptions do arise."

Study Finds That People Who Entrust Tasks to AI Are Losing Critical Thinking Skills

Trusting AI over the real thing seems, per a new study, to actually be atrophying folks' mental faculties.

#gm #nostr - Thought about going with OPP and a plethora of 2 Live Crew jams, but settled on Force MD's in honor of Valentime's Day. Also picked this song because it came out in 1985, which is also the last time the Chicago Bears won a Super Bowl during my lifetime. I was 7 and I'm old as hell now. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

This is why I always say please and thank you to all AI. I know these sumbitches are keeping track so when you guys are getting door knocked by Repentance Drones, I'll be right as rain with our AI Overlords.

Do you want to know how successful organizations like Greenpeace have been in not only propagandizing but arguably causing the climate issues? Illinois just introduced legislation that will classify nuclear as a renewable energy source so it can qualify for the same benefits that wind and solar have access to. Really think about that for a minute. The greenest, densest energy on the planet did not qualify as renewable energy. Absolute lunacy. https://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1538&GAID=18&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=160226&SessionID=114&GA=104 #nuclear #energy #climate #technology

I'm torn. I've long used credit cards for the points/rewards -- I've not paid for a flight very often over the last decade. I know deep down that some poor windowlicker is likely financing that for me with their poor credit hygiene. If this makes it through the banking lobby, I've got to think it's the end of rewards cards if not other perks like no fee cards and what not. Also, if they can't recoup interest from subprime customers, they'll just not issue them credit at all. If that happens and they lose folks like me that only use it for points, what business do they have left at that point? “During the campaign, President Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at ten percent,” Sanders said. “Today, I am proud to be introducing bipartisan legislation with Senator Hawley to do just that. When large financial institutions charge over 25 percent interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of making credit available. They are engaged in extortion and loan sharking. We cannot continue to allow big banks to make huge profits ripping off the American people. This legislation will provide working families struggling to pay their bills with desperately needed financial relief.”
