The good stuff doesn't have to be mandated.

They are trying to save a sinking ship (ie USD).

In the long term, we are not all dead, as Keynes said, but all fiat is worthless.

I find it amusing how there's a sellout after each such an announcement, only for traders to look for the bottom and to buy back in with a little bit of extra profit. They will need to be invested in the long run anyway.

Because fiat is a scam.

Let’s all be glad that there are other chains. Imagine all the noise that would be on Bitcoin otherwise. Think about the other crypto as testnets and you will be chill.

The best is a natural birth at the hospital.

I have several kids. My wife gave pretty natural births (no c-sections, no special procedures), but at the hospital. People do not realize that if everything goes well, the hospital staff does not get involved that much.

But in case something goes wrong, you have all the tech, staff on call, etc. to save you and the life of your child.

During the second birth, our baby got stuck a bit and the midwife had position my wife in a way to allow the baby to get out. I can’t imagine dealing with this at home alone.

Sure you can have a midwife at home, but why risk it?

It is not. At least 3M+ btc is lost. Probably more. I think we are actually just above $1T.

It is not black or white.

She underperformed in all counties.

There are a lot of celiacs.

I always hate how gluten-free people are made fun of, while vegans/vegeterians are taken seriously.

If you are a celiac who can't eat gluten, you actually have a medical conditions that prevents you from eating it.

Being vegan/vegetarian is just a choice. Those are the people we should be making a fun of.

I hope you are right.

The future will be disconnected.

Harris is basically a Biden.

Such paper valuations are bullshit. Everything is valued at the price someone is willing to buy it for.

I recommend checking out the latest Joe Rogan episode with Elon #2223. He didn't buy it to make money, but to protect the public square it represents.

Ok, I got "Zap posts failed" at least, so it is not an infinite money glitch.

Still, not sure why the LNBits connection doesn't work since there is no error and it seems it is connected within Wallet settings on SN.

I've attached LNBits to Stacker. Even though my LNBits wallet has a balance of 1000 sats, SN shows 0. I am able to zap people and the zaps go through and my LNBits balance stays at 1000. Seems like a pretty big bug.

We just found the catalyst for the great-great recession that is looming: the green bubble bursting.

Truly, it is not that bad as mainstream makes you believe. I recommend reading Fossil Future or Apocalypse Never, which debunk a lot of these apocalyptic myths.

Oil is not “extremely dirty.” We all want clear air but let’s not panic. Oil is fine when used properly. CO2 is a gas essential for life to exist.

CO2 is only about 0,04% of the atmosphere. If it triples we are fine. If it cuts down to 1/3 we all die.

Funny, I actually buy eggs from a local bitcoiner for sats. He's got chickens and is happy to part with the eggs for a few hundred sats.

In a decentralized system, some people get hacked and scammed. Then, those people lobby the government for centralized protection. Then, the centralized entities get hacked and all data is compromised, but it doesn't feel so personal anymore, so they do not mind.

I often suggest paying in Bitcoin to handymen that come to do a job. Recently, a guy told me he is not interested since his friend was scammed out of a cottage (not sure how) by some crypto fraud. Just because of that, he thought Bitcoin is a scam. It is sad.

It is so scary that the government can literally take all the money from innocent people.
