My guess is he hasn't done the research. I've heard him say multiple times that he hasn't really delved too deeply into the details of Bitcoin.

Unfortunate... but I give him a pass since his reason is that he's busy creating amazing content -- a stark difference to actively shilling his own shitcoin, haha.

💯... Precisely one of the things that make him super-high-signal.

@mf The Stacker News Larken Rose Fan Club is growing, I see 😂🙌

Amazing how much higher quality the “top” posts on this site are compared to those on Twitter.

Being paid for by real expressions of value instead of by advertisers makes quite a difference.

Ha!... It definitely keeps you smart. It's literally the human brain's version of running a hard-drive cleaning program.

Right on. Continuing to be awesome is my main concern ⚡️

Dirty secret: You don’t even need low time preference.

I get instant gratification by not destroying my brain cells and drinking things that are actually refreshing and rejuvenating like coffee, tea, lemonades, greens-and-reds formulas, milk, and ice-cold water 😀

The OG knew:

There’s so much that’s still unknown. And it’s part of our great journey as a human race to go forth, explore, and figure shit out.

Serious question -- I'm not trying to be combative: If religious people think that the Big Bang Theory is nonsense because "something can't come from nothing", where is "God" (or your religion of choice's creative diety) supposed to have come from?

(Personally, I think there are multiple universes, and that ours originated from another at some point -- so that's sort of tangental to both of these frameworks 😄)

Personally, I LOVE the word "boost".

Language is perpetually mutable, and its words are EXACTLY whatever humans want them to be.

"Boost", IMO, gets straight to the essence of a singular, finite, beaming of value ⚡️ -- regardless of whether or not there was an additional upfront cost (as I feel like "tip" implies).

(Also, @k00b, I'd like to think I'm both a real f'ing person and a Bitcoiner... but perhaps I'm part of the simulation 🤷‍♂️😛)

Don't know the man, don't have any relationship with him, and in fact, I've never even met him.

I suppose it's possible we had a chance encounter as strangers once and he held a door open for me or something, but it's hard to say.

Vince Carter is a better VC than Nic.

One thing that I don’t think gets mentioned enough is how the lack of strong privacy tools contributes greatly to social division and hatred.

In a world where everyone’s personal details and beliefs are public, not obeying some One True Way™️ poses serious risk. And people feel needlessly threatened by their neighbors’s ways of lives.

Shocked that people are still shocked that "governments" seek to govern 🤦‍♂️

Lots of talk about calling for the SEC to regulate shitcoins and shitcoin securities.

Cool… but let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture: Bitcoiners are going to have to build beyond these kinds of scams. Obsolescence is the best form of regulation ⚡️

If bitcoin is Venice, am I being out of touch when I do CNBC interviews in front of a massive ship-of-the-line replica?

I'd rather BUILD than argue about this.

Nope. Trying to offset my carbon footprint by using Stacker News in my sleep.
