‘ There are several asymmetries in Bitcoin. The first and most obvious is the asymmetric payoff. Becoming a new base layer money for the world will either work or won’t. And the current price of Bitcoin at any moment in time is the market’s belief on whether it will succeed at that mission. Asymmetric bets are the hallmark of radical innovations and have high volatility in the short and medium term. The asymmetric payoff has attracted much of the early investor interest in Bitcoin, many for the conviction that it will be the store of value of the future. ‘

Is it just me or is it always a surprise when an AMA happens?

Fortunately, I happened to catch todays but I usually end up noticing at the tail end.

Could we possibly get an @sn post early morning the day of saying there will be an AMA with so and so at this time today?

Stepped out with the wife to walk around the garden and look at what's starting to bloom. Cam back to see that an AMA with the Pubkey folks had started.

Which I guess is a good reminder that "you should always take the time to stop and smell the flowers" isn't necessarily true.

Fuck this policy shit ! Nobody elected these people to speak in the name of Bitcoin or bitcoiners. Bitcoin doesn't need any "policy", bitcoin need more people with big balls that do not comply with gov bullshit. POLICY MEANS COMPLIANCE.

I've posted a few of my hiking posts during those times, around 12-1am Sunday morning PST. I don't think they did that well, because they seem to get flooded out by the large amounts of morning posts. But then, my hiking posts never really do that well on average, I think they usually get a few hundred to low 1k's sats, so it's probably not a good measure of how well late night posts perform.

At least I realized yesterday that the internet still works, it's independent of power. Just needed to plug my router into a socket that still works. Landlord said this morning that it should be fixed in a few hours. It's been more than just a few hours.

Holy shit...I used to have a recurring nightmare that I missed the final on some class in H.S. and as a result, my diploma was revoked and this in turn caused my B.A. to be revoked and so on until my life was in ruins. To remediate, I found myself back in H.S. doing a semester over again. This was a spine shivering nightmare that would make Edgar Allen Poe blush.

I had my chain reaction version too. I missed the HS class, which invalidated my College Degree, which meant I couldn't properly go to law school, which meant my bar exam results were invalidated, which meant I had no source of income. So, back to high school. We can't be the only ones.

My proof of work today: writing this email to my principal lol

— Dear Principal,

Thank you for your blessings. Knowing that we have your support relieves stress for my wife and me.

Was working on my resume yesterday and got reminded of why the ‘L’ in NorthLight is capitalised.

When I was working on a S.A.I.L online lesson, my Head of Department asked you and the founding principal about the reasons why. I documented them in the lesson itself.

https://m.stacker.news/26017

It seems a pity that outside of our institution, people tend to neglect to capitalise the ‘L’. I am particularly concerned because the notion of Light is an important one, because it metaphorically (positive presence) or scientifically (photosynthesis). I have a lesson on Light that made it all the way to Ministry of Education’s Facebook page.

Our students are used to articulating what they should do (‘Never Give Up’). I wonder if they understand why they should persevere. Making salient the ‘L’ could remind them to be a light to others.

Personally, I graduated from Anderson Junior College. I won’t say that I live by its motto (‘Non mihi solum’ which is Latin for ‘Not for myself alone’), but it’s one of the things I like about my alma mater.

I see that our official Facebook page bears our name with a capital ‘L’. Perhaps the next step is to inform our staff - veterans and newbies alike - of this interesting aspect of our history.
