Wonder when @Saifedean Ammous publishes The Mackerel Standard

Managed to trick my 4 year old into giving me hugs: Told her I have to check that her clothes are on properly ☺️

Been on this earth almost 4 decades, and still don't know where to put my arms when I'm sleeping

Chatting to a colleague from Bedford and asked which football team he supports - it's not the one bought "by some weird crypto guy" 😂

Pretty sad that you have to pay so much more in BTC for @Nik Bhatia's Bitcoin Layer subscription vs. fiat. I used to subscribe mainly because of the Bitcoin payment option. Then they made Bitcoiners pay annually, and now it's more expensive than fiat.

Lots of Americans here like to deride the UK and condescend to those who live here. Bro, where the fuck would (and could) we go that's more free? Also, current UK government is near guaranteed to lose the next election, and current front runners (and their likely coalition partner) are highly critical of the free speech curbs. I'm originally from South Africa, and yes you can pay with Bitcoin in more places, but they have a pretty long list of their own issues. UAE is a dictatorship. El Salvador they throw you in prison for having tattoos. You can't easily move to the USA. Europe is collapsing. Could move to Switzerland but I don't speak the language, and probably couldn't easily move there. UK is actually an incredible country, but with problems. London is a great city (but yes also has some crime and a shit mayor). Staying and voting harder (plus stacking Bitcoin) actually a decent choice.

Pretty annoying that Epstein is now associated with Lolita by Nabokov. It's a brilliant book!

Father-in-law is so proud of a password he thought up that he's telling everyone what it is 😬

Bitcoin reduces GDP. This is good. Few understand.

So glad the FCA protected me from buying a Bitcoin ETF and forced me to buy MSTR in my pension 😭

Shocker: Government enquiry finds that more government is needed. Top story on government news outlet.

Based on my research it appears that Bitcoin is at this stage of the cycle

Paw Patrol actually have some pretty good gadgets

Hey @MUSQET - how do I find a list of your merchants? Would go out of my way to pay in Bitcoin, just want to know I definitely can when I arrive

People who take pleasure in others paying more taxes, or getting punished with taxes, are sickening bootlickers

1. Be a tradesman 2. Go out of your way to do a site visit and give a quote 3. Don't reply when the client agrees to it - just ghost them 4. ? 5. Profit

Ready to have my face melted still, but this does actually feel like the start of a bear market. Same pattern as usual - price declining despite no specifically negative news, and lots of podcasts trying to convince themselves it's not a bear market. Doesn't change the fundamentals, but just mentally preparing.

Reason 837382 to hate the government. UK trains nationalized by the socialist Labour party, now they get cancelled far more often. Today I can't get home on time for my child's bedtime on her birthday.

I've got a much better idea than buying Bitcoin, hear me out ... You get an institution to KYC you, then give them money for a claim to potentially redeem the value of a shiny metal that may or may not exist. Then we cheer central banks to buy more of the metal. It's logically and morally sound.

Here we go... Mandibles! "China’s state-run iron ore buyer has told major steelmakers and traders to temporarily halt purchases of all new BHP Group cargoes, escalating a pricing dispute that risks upending one of the mining giant’s most important trading partnerships China Mineral Resources Group Co., created by Beijing to bolster the country’s sway in the global iron ore trade, asked domestic buyers this week to suspend purchases of any dollar-denominated seaborne cargoes from BHP, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing private deliberations. It means new deals can’t be signed, including for cargoes that have already left Australia, where BHP has its mines. The only BHP iron ore available for trade are some supplies that have landed in China and are priced in yuan." https://archive.is/ffSxn
