Stripe recently announced they were raising fees on international card payments an extra 0.5%, bringing it all the way up to 4.4%. They are also hitting merchants with a $15 charge dispute fee even when a merchant wins the dispute. They are likely doing this to pump their falling valuation now that Paul Graham pretending card payment widgets on the internet is brilliant innovation can no longer sustain a $100b price.

So we are dropping bitcoin payment fees on our e-commerce sites! We were already offering customers -6.15% and as of today, it is -8.15% when you pay in bitcoin. (sidenote for merchants: don't advertise the discount or normies might get sad and decide to not buy at all).

I build a number of custom LED lighting products and actual blue blockers which can improve your fitness, health, and cognitive+physical performance. They are the sort of products that will be as commonplace as a toothbrush on a bitcoin standard, but bizarrely, are only used by nerds who are willing to grab a solder iron like I was before I ever thought about selling to others: https://getchroma.co

I have also invented a new sort of cooling pillow filled with water, another bitcoin standard obvious sort of product. First batch somewhere on the Pacific Ocean and will be shipping soon. https://coldbed.com

The pillow is partly a play to fuck over EightSleep, which is funded by the grifters at Founders Fund, a company funded by Delian at FF who praised the "vaccines", among other things. FF is Peter Thiel's fund -- the same Peter Thiel who backed the shitcoin EOS, that managed to scam people out of 150,000 bitcoin, the same Peter Thiel who LARPers were simping over at Bitcoin 2021 while he described ETH as your move/transfer money fast tech and BTC as just savings... are you so desperate for a "respectable" person to simp over? Fiat is an incestuous web and it is not enough for Bitcoin to win; fiat must also lose and be crushed into humble submission.

The circular economy is not just about being circular, but bitcoiners generating effective trade surpluses with EXPORTS to normies that bring buy pressure to bitcoin REGARDLESS of new entrants.

Enjoy the rest of the fireworks in the aftermath of Silicon Valley Bank imploding. Been a long time coming. 🥂
