This is the balance we've come to with the kids. We get to play on our phones while the kids watch TV. They're watching educational content and they definitely learn some things.

One difference between the TV and tablet is that you can't instantly scroll so their attention span isn't getting shorter and shorter like on a tablet.

We let the kids watch about an hour of TV in the evening. I can see its going to become a problem for us later on.

As long as we're conscious that we're spending so much time on our phone we can choose to do something else. Also meeting friends IRL fixes this.

That's mining pools, not physical miners.

They literally kicked everyone out. Some came back and I remember hearing it's still quite significant like 10-20% of the hash rate.

It depends on their CBDC. If it's successful they might continue to ignore Bitcoin. They still have the 200k odd BTC seized from that Plus token scam.

this was the video I partly watched:

Yeah, buying up strategic ports, property, and building roads are all good things you can do with printed money.

I guess we'll have to see how it plays out. They aren't stupid. Just remember most of the actual Bitcoin is in the hands of early adopters. It's ours to lose. The ETF and current hype is just a passing phrase to hyperbitcoinization.

Remember that forks are always an option. Thinking that Bitcoin is a "relatively harmless speculative commodity" is a bit defeatist IMO.

I don't think the CCP can allow it. They've printed their way into one of the biggest economies in the world and the people will end up having to pay for it in one way or another.

As for allowing Bitcoin...I think it will continue to be a grey area. For one reason they would have to admit their mistake in banning miners in 2021. The other is that it would give citizens too much sovereignty and freedom.

This might just be an edge case. Shanghai is different to the rest of China too. More international and also the financial center.

I saw something the other day about the OTC desk trades starting to heat up in China. It makes sense as real estate and Chinese stocks are not doing well at all.

I see

What DAW are you using?

Did you say "albums" as in more than one?

Lol

Then get divorced and give up half my stack?

Just my wedding ring that I don't wear.

This looks old.

I think they need to find their field of excellence and work on getting into the top percentile. I think that's all you can do. If you go chasing fields that you think will have jobs for the coming decades, the tech could blow all that up in a year or two. At least if they're at the top of their field there will very likely be valued and well paid.

I tend to agree that skilled physical jobs should stick around longer than software or knowledge based ones (lawyer/accountant), but that's just a guess. Robotics could end up developing just as fast.

I think having resilience, creativity, curiosity and a willingness to learn might be more important. It's also not something you can really teach though.

To anyone feeling this way about the US election result, shut your digital life down for a week or so. Go outside, touch grass and talk to people. You will start to unwind.

Lol

It won't be for long if you keep spending like that.

Buying bitcoin is an exception of course.

Confirmed

Are owning territories a sh$tcoin?

First make a complement, then say: Sooooo.....Have you heard about the difficulty adjustment?

When the price goes up it makes older miners profitable again. I might guess that older miners have recently come online because of this.
