Bitcoiners have the same degen monkey brains as everyone else. Look how many have lost their corn in the past trying to make more BTC trading etc, interest schemes, etc

Nice. Sliding in just below G7 average...
Didn't realize Singapore was in such bad shape!

Yeah our biggest export sadly is human labor. Sucks especially when they get trapped in indentured servitude in places like Dubai. Great when they end up as nurses making 200k+ USD in California.

My aunt with Parkinson's in the Philippines pays her caregiver $300 a month and she does EVERYTHING for her.
That would be pretty good money / workload compared to her job.

Yup, I've said it before but some people I met in the Philippines make $6-7 USD/day, for very tough jobs (caregiver etc).
I bet if you copied the most popular posts off of /r/Bitcoin, even just 1-2 posts a day and spent the day feeding posts to ChatGPT to come up with articulate responses to popular posts you could easily clear that amount.

28 days later is the best modern zombie movie.
Warm Bodies is pretty great for a rom-com.
Every time I'm called to pronounce a body at the hospital I have this irrational fear they will wake up and try to bite me.

If this is the case it's surprising they ran out of water in South Africa... poor planning?

Bookmarked to watch later but why have they struggled so much? With the extreme work demands of salarymen it seems certainly not for lack of trying... did they just focus on the wrong things? Overemphasis on hardware culture in the 80s so they were left behind as software took over? Is it a specific cultural issue that has South Korea, China and Taiwan beating them?

Excited about the real-time translation capabilities. Half of my patients frustratingly don't speak English and it takes 4-5x the time of a normal English encounter.
The ipad/iphone human translation services are so bad (take 1-5m to get one online, then they waste so much time introducing themselves.

Sad to know jobs will be lost because of this but I literally despise using the human services.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @gmd 13 May \ parent \ on: What are your DCA habits? bitcoin
I started to DCA because I am an irrational chimp and always want to buy when the price is going up and always worried it's going to drop further when the price is down.

500k stacked here (just barely in the top 50), but spent way more sats here. There should be stickers/icons for 1M club.
