Este año ha sido mágico para mí, porque mis amigos están escribiendo libros increíbles y los están compartiendo conmigo. El libro de Irene (de @MissesConMises) trata sobre encontrar la libertad y explorar. Ve y explora la libertad con los dos personajes, que se conocen en Praga y descubren tanto Europa como lo que significa ser libre.

Make markets brutal again. These days it seems like traders are children and are always complaining the markets are not fair, there's manipulation, whales, insiders, illuminati, the spooks, high frequency traders and algorithms, sandwiching and MEV bots, ... People somehow don't understand that the purpose of markets is not to be a merry go round children olympics. Trade and price discovery. A whale screwed you over? Seems they had a better opinion on the price than you. We thank you for your service of being on the losing side of the price discovery. You gave world information. If you think you have any kind of right to win based on wrong opinion, you don't understand markets. That's not true. If you don't know how to be a network engineer, don't expect people to pay you to take care of their networks. There's no right to do everything. Markets are about the edge. If you don't have it, you don't add anything to the price, except for liquidity. You are gambling and the odds are not in your favor. Good.

It's funny how the trading technical analysis is looped into itself. There's an indicator which in the past showed price trend reversal. Many people notice, some post it on social media. Some people verify it, most don't, but then fomo or fear kick in and people trade, making the prophecy come true and reinforce it in the future. We all know it, there's literally no reason that some moving average going beyond the line means something, only that it is a strong memebiont in the culture. It's not a fundament, moving average or any other calculated number, but a metabolically adapted memebiont that causes these moves, controlling the clicks on the exchanges. Buy. Sell. Tick tock. Give it more energy! This is how non carbon-based life looks like. Beautiful. Check this in chapter Another life of The Merge by @The Ohm

I get this idea that there are some people who would like to work for the community and make things better. They get elected to the state-level body and improve things. But when has this ever turned out ok. I'm sure there are singular instances, but what we more or less consistently and repair get is corruption and/or incompetence. Why are we doing this then? And I don't mean as much the society at large, but why do individuals think it's going to give better results this time, or next time. Or whenever in the future. We need to remove this stupid superstition of the ballot. From our heads.

Anyone solved the unreadable fonts in @GrapheneOS desktop mode? Otherwise it's cool. This is how it looks. The black rectangle is Molly which does not like to be recorded but works really well too.

When someone says "This is/will be wild west", I cheer up, but it seems they don't mean it is a good thing. Weird.

We've come full circle from email being this thing that sometimes worked, on random SMTP/ IMAP server that we changed all the time, with weird mail clients... Through "omg look at these nice buttons and labels, this looks yummy and I can set a theme, wow it's magic" To "yeah email, I use this random client just to get through with it, it doesn't really matter".
