Good riddance Q1. Kick that thing out the door and get some new vibes into the next quarter. 1 Bitcoin still equals 1 Bitcoin Doesn't matter what Saylor says, or how much NAKA sells, or if Jamie Dimon talks out of both sides of his mouth... we got this. Bitcoiners need to reunite and stop sniping at each other. Recall when we wanted to topple the central banks? The shiny fiat object has distracted many from that objective. What if they created an SBR and no one gave 2 f**ks? We never needed approvals before, did we just get lazy? Q2 - let's build community again.

Discovering something totally new and different is why we must support LIVE MUSIC and independent venues and festivals. This Quebec based duo, attributes the ample opportunities in the Quebec arts and music scene with finding an audience. That audience is now world wide, they're booked through November and the music created by Angine de Poitrine, is being celebrated as the anti - AI Human creativity (as avante garde as it might be for some) wins the Internet. Keep being weird y'all @tunestr

I've avoided commenting on the controversy and or taking sides, as I lack the technical depth to fully understand the implications either way. So I'm left with the trusting not verifying dilemma, while I continue to obtain relevant information. What I can discern are the ad hominems. There are plenty from both sides. These show emotional outbursts not relevant arguments, so both should be ignored. Heros die: Being a veteran of civil war 1 (big blocks) I've become split on the opinions from those whom I followed into battle previously. For and against each have significantly inflencial and knowledgeable people that stood for what I "believed" in. If those same people conflict with my values, I'm less willing to "believe" them now. Yet my beliefs have limited relevance to the technical facts. Can both sides be correct? Like the Abortion debate: As with this highly divisive and deeply personal topic both sides have entrenched personal beliefs and there are reasonable arguments to support each position. Yet there is only 1 truth. What is the TRUTH in the OP_RETURN controversy? Will either side ever concede? Is it resolvable? I don't know how this will resolve but it would seem that personal responsibility plays a big roll. Educate one's self to the best of our ability then align this information with our beliefs, being cognizant of the propaganda, AI and algos that fill the debate with useless noise. For the sake of everything (I believe) Bitcoin represents, I pray the truth will come to light for the majority (consensus) and it does so before the non-truth faction potentially co-opts or ultimately destroys the greatest discovery of modern man - Honest, decentralized, secure, censorship resistant MONEY.

Two based and inspiring dudes having a chin wag. Be a fly on the wall and drop in on this convo. This is the way 🔥 View quoted note →

Live music should not be owned by a conglomerate. Live Nation's vertical integration, kills live music on the one hand and then exploits artists and their fans with the other. This company should be broken into pieces, forced to compete fairly and face the strictest anti-trust penalties possible. A fine is a slap on the wrist. Break up this live music cabal.
