You know, I always feel a little guilty when the @nitter bot "corrects" my x.com links. But a problem is, if I use an xcancel link (like I did just below here) it doesn't get rendered. So I have to use a x.com link to get it to render, but then I always get the little Newman comment at the bottom of my posts.
Kinda great, actually. I've turned my room into a small maker-room, and have been working on a backpack like a maniac. I also enlisted on a new study - which I'm actually kinda pumped for - which will start in september, and hope to have a small side hustle going once I've got my backpack + accessories up-and-running.
Use normal capitalization, not “newspaper capitalization”: “Post title style guide” instead of “Post Title Style Guide”
I 100% break this all the time. Caps belong in titles; sue me
Transfers to your own wallet and addresses getting included is a bummer. Just waiting for the IRS data breach where everybody's home address and how much bitcoin they own becomes publicly available.
agreed. very cool show. you guys made me proud to be stacker pleb.
Oh and i cant wait for Bailey's AMA!
I wonder if the "knowing transmission of illegal proceeds" is basically due to the explicit shitposting to that effect on Twitter?
Had they just kept their fucking mouths shut, does this plea happen?
Have you evaluated Strive merger yet?
Most interesting aspect is they allow Sec 351 in-kind purchase (you can buy in with bitcoin and get shares without selling).
Don't think I would participate but would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Aside: Now that Fidelity has submitted their application to SEC to ask for in-kind in/out into FBTC, I think that a lot of the deals (as well as lots of BTC Loan companies) are going to find it even harder to convince hodlers to participate.
A lot depends on how we define neobank... Investment? Commercial? Depository? Payment processor? Exchange 👀?
Also we can't project the future by speculating on Saylors vision or hubris/lack of. Too many external forces will be exerted on something of Strategy's scale, that it will eventually become high time preference. Every temple falls.
... So Saylor has spoken about the importance of network effects in finance, MSTR options market for example having no peer... His head start on the fixed supply future financial system automatically gives Strategy network effect for whatever it feels it has to pursue in the future
If equities get tokenized and regs relaxed, MSTR stock becomes indistinguishable from a fake L2 and therefore a payment rail. It's other tranches become stables or interest bearing accounts... Very bankish.
These shittokens also need an exchange, and exchanges make a killing with fake layer 2s already... Imagine boltzexchange/side swap fees on strategy volume.
Being headquartered outside of DC and connected to the IC, whatever changes to regulation are coming they're ready for. Even if they have to buy a banking license by buying a bank, they're in a better position to monetize it than most.
Thank you @benwehrman for helping us test the new video playback feature in Fountain!
It's still a bit rough round the edges - but keen to get as much feedback as possible - please comment below with your first impressions / thoughts on the ux of switching between audio and video when listening to a podcast.
For anyone that's curious - this is all built on the new rss
<podcast:alternateEnclosure> tag which means this kind of seamless video playback should eventually work in all supporting apps - https://podstandards.org/2025/06/28/hls-video-podcast-demoChanges to Live Comments, the goal is to make them cooler than ever.
Also some really nice things for creators 👀
man, especially this rendition was beautiful:
plus, why bitcoin won't be spent:
There are some very well-meaning bitcoin proponents trying to convince bitcoin holders to spend it more. I don’t particularly view that as a sustainable practice. Bitcoin is not going to catch on as a charity. In order for spending it to catch on persistently at scale (i.e. not just billions of dollar-equivalents in annual global medium-of-exchange volume, but trillions), it has to solve problems for spenders and/or recipients that other solutions are not doing.
= "at this stage of adoption, that’s not necessarily the case, especially with capital gains taxes applicable to every single transaction and with options like stablecoins for near-term spending needs where volatility needs to be low."

A year ago I cheaped out when buying this exact 2TB SSD. At the time of buying I unfortunatelly did not pay attention to the fact that it does not have DRAM cache. This causes it to slow down to a crawl during high write pressure.
Also it only took me a few months for the first I/O errors to start appearing with this SSD.
Next time you buy an SSD for a Bitcoin node you should make sure that it has DRAM cache. When it comes to SSD brands, Crucial and Samsung are usually good.
Coming back to your problem, you might want to run a SMART test on your SSD and see if it reports any errors. Also check your logs for any file system errors. It could theoretically also be a RAM issue. So might make sense to run a memtest.
