“There’s no other platform out there that can do what the V-22 can do,” said former Osprey pilot Brian Luce, who has survived two crashes.

Link in OP could have been a fun article itself if not for the BI psyop factor editorialized title... "kids dont even try to invent stuff you'll still be poor forever"
Healthy long term, if the projects were important enough they'd find a way to get done. This will be deflationary too and make better projects more affordable.
I'd think it positive for small guys eventually, they should be agile enough to pivot and re-price for projects further away from the money spigot... big guys are enured to the faucet.
to receive without being online
"When people want the impossible only liars can satisfy."
Time to accept that's not possible off-chain.
The internet doesn't work when offline. This justification for attention scams is a failure to appreciate Bitcoin for what it is, an always-online LEDGER.
Bitcoin cannot be replicated. Your choice is the chain, a custodian, or being online to receive. These are laws as immutable as gravity.
How would you get emails and such if no server was online to receive them?
easy on boarding for nocoiners
Ease is relative, it's already easier than opening a bank account. There is a real limitation around affordability, but that too is as immutable as gravity, if you cannot afford to use Bitcoin you have to trust someone to use it for you.
Maybe we will eventually get something good out of all of it.
"Hope is what we cling to when reality has left us nothing else."
"Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."
Nietzsche was specifically talking about reading whitepapers for fake L2s and shitcoins and arguing over worthless shitfork proposals.
Time for Bitcoiners to grow up and appreciate Bitcoin for what it is and not take it for granted, lest it start to look like this:
Stop giving time to this garbage, its all brain rot from the same mind-virus that keeps Ethereum around.
a multi-terabyte off-chain data setup
lol...
So, users must still believe that:
-
the modulus ceremony was honest
-
at least one watchdog will stay online (and uncompromised) forever
-
someone will host five terabytes of circuit data
-
an exit coordinator will stay solvent and responsive
These are the same categories of trust.. setup, liveness, data availability, and operator behavior that underpin Liquid, Ark, Spark, Statechains, or any other fake-L2. BitVM is just another rearrangement.
Why are people so dissatisfied with being able to send and receive digital hard money that they need to keep slinging this fake L2 shit at the wall in hopes something sticks?
not because it has fixed anything. Rather, Bitcoin has been fixed
Hard not to feel bad for people that stumble through life so confused. Like saying a tape measure doesn't measure a thing because the thing was there to be measured.
Fake L2
Just another wrapper on a custodial service to scam the regulator and obfuscate the custodian
I don't buy any of the nuclear stuff, possible that its just a regime change thing... but the energy factor has to be part of the equation (good point about the attack on Russian processing)... all wars are energy wars.
a war bridges all the divides
All the more reason though for national security interests, of both countries, to set up something controlled... to ultimately deal with domestic issues.
The implication spook was making was that hitting Iran IS hitting China, as in that war is already hot, and to get them by the balls on energy. The hard time I have buying that is well what about Russian supply? and any hot war would close the oceans anyway...
one known-spook was suggesting hitting Iran now is to constrain China's oil supply... public numbers imply its only 10% of their supply... so who knows... but if that's actually part of the math I'd imply that to mean stuff with China going hot sometime in the next ~6 mos
IMO the spice going into this is a little underwhelming, business as usual yesterday after the Iran go-hot... the assassination this morning is very sad and alarming, but, also seems isolated and like its not going to control the news cycle.
Was kind of hoping the Army would set up replica gallows at Fort McNair for this, just to troll
I'll keep popcorn on standby in any case, we're due for a fresh news cycle by Monday
Not sure what 3rd world shithole you're from, but here we have a court system. This is a law territory icymi.
And in order for court systems to work as intended, avoiding mistrials or botching investigations for starters, retards on the internet aren't privy to everything at all times.
CEO is more interesting
President and CEO Phong Le paid $382,500 for 4,500 of the preferred MicroStrategy shares. Le also sold 5,295 common shares on June 6 through a so-called Rule 10b5-1 trading plan for $2 million, or $374.54 each.
He's not the only one, selling common and rolling into preferred, I'd assume any delta is tax covering
Important note on how these executions work:
Insiders use such plans to remove the appearance of bias from the knowledge of nonpublic information. The plans automatically execute trades when preset conditions, such as price, volume, and timing, are met.
I'm not sure how margin rules work at these levels but that's another reason to assume nothing about insider sales, at this level your personal lifestyle liquidity can generally come from margin lending and not asset sales.
Dumb question
They literally talk about sealed indictments and FISA courts all the time, who really thinks we're privy to everything?
