Met Charlie Shrem today the stories he told me about the early days of running a bitcoin company 🤯 Walked away realizing how easy we have it.

Biggest problem for Iran, is I do not see how they can hope to contest, let alone reestablish control of their own airspace

All their airforce and serious air defence was seemingly destroyed or negated in the opening strikes

Hence Israel has air superiority and freedom of action over Iran

Not a single Israeli aircraft beyond a drone, has been successfully shot down over Iran yet with any form of confirmation

And there are still Mossad and special forces teams operating on the ground in Iran

Iranian response is limited to the, while spectacular, ultimately, so far rather limited in destruction, ballistic missile volleys on Israel, which I question the long term sustainability of conducting.

Meanwhile Israel is seriously degrading the official Iranian military now, after the IRGC elements were already extremely degraded in the first attacks, and Israel is now moving on to the main economic infastructure of the Iranian state

Plus, the fact that Iran is full of traitors and Israeli assets who seem more than happy to sell out their own side and give targets of senior Iranian officials and assets to Israel

Not writing them off yet, but the state of play is extremely against Irans favour in this

War in Iran is immensely to Russia's benefit

The US is diverting crucial anti air systems from Ukraine to Israel

Increase in the price of oil, is a God send to the Russian state budget, especially if this is dragged out and Iran is able to close or significantly complicate oil exports via the straits of Hormuz

Iran moves further from being an opportunistic supplier of arms to Russia, to a desperate seeker of support from Moscow

The world's attention on the middle East, means it is less on Ukraine

This is a golden window for Russia

bitcoiners believe core controls bitcoin because they want to believe bitcoin can be controlled

How do you stack up? 💡🌐

I absolutely loathe the LLM pattern of:

It's an effective way to convey meaning, because contrast is how we see and smell and think, which why I suspect it pops up in these machines that are desperate to make meaning, but it's a bit like eating a gallon of ice cream all at once.

This is what happiness looks like

Ditched my usual uniform of shorts and slippers to doll myself up, even to the extent of wearing an accessory that was given to me pre-fatherhood. What’s the occasion? I hear you ask.

THIS IS THE FIRST NIGHT IN 2025 I’M GOING OUT TO RECLAIM MY SOCIAL LIFE. I’m not even being melodramatic. I told my Year Head earlier in February point-blank that “no, I can’t stay for the Y2 camp because I need to rush back to pick up my kids.” The opportunity costs of fatherhood are very real and painful for me.

And yes, I finally got the balls to apply for Leave for Absence from my wife because a friend had won free tickets to Nicholas Teo’s concert. I don’t even know any of his songs other than 《当你孤单你会想起谁》. BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT! The point is, I get to strut down the streets at night, with a spring in my step and a goofy grin on my face.

I am so happy! 😁

A tranquil city of good laws, fine architecture, and clean streets is like a classroom of obedient dullards, or a field of gelded bulls - whereas a city of anarchy is a city of promise.
