Had this thought that someone (funds/nation states) is simultaneously losing money on purpose to short bitcoin/keep the price in this range and buying large sums of it OTC at these prices. IOW, you pay the $10M a day or whatever it costs to keep the price in the 80s, and you buy 1-10K coins/day at a small premium to spot OTC. If you didn’t pay to short the spot price, the OTC price would be much higher. When there are no more OGs unloading OTC, they will pull the short and price discovery will return.

Why you shouldn't listen to football experts -- same reason centralized planners always fuck things up.

Just asked Grok whether this was true, it said no, then I asked it for the area of an infinity many sided polygon with radius 1, and it said π and conceded. View quoted note →

A circle is just a polygon with infinitely many sides. Prove me wrong.

This is axiomatically correct. And there are religious traditions (particularly eastern ones) where doubt is the path. Total doubt, not just of religion, not just of atheism, but of everything. Doubt of the “I” that pops up in your mind out of habit. Doubt of words that one uses to name one’s feelings. There is nothing “wrong” with believing the Bible. There is nothing right about it. It’s just another belief that is also subject to doubt. We don’t know shit. And we don’t even know that we don’t know shit. Doubt that too. View quoted note →
