Not the WSJ, but similar (can't find the WSJ link but they also had an editorial "The Case For War" in 2003).

WSJ and FT capture attention of a large % of wealthy and managerially influential people. So, of course it will be coopted to push agendas - it's readership is too valuable not to.

Is @No Bullshit Bitcoin okay?

Midwits and all mainstream media right now: "War is peace"

UK's main mistake under Chamberlain was that they didn't prepare their army and navy for a potential war. Chamberlain was right to try get peace, but it was ineffective because the UK had no leverage. Today Trump is pushing states to increase their military capacity, while pushing for peace. I think this is a crucial difference. (Also, Russia is relatively week after 3 years of fighting vs. Germany after the invasion of Poland or Sudetenland)

Brian Armstrong does at least make the case that Bitcoin will be the important global reserve asset. But he doesn't push back at all on the FUD that it's difficult to make payments with Bitcoin. Think he just wants to custody the Bitcoin, and do partnerships with Visa. Very sad considering what Coinbase could have achieved. https://fountain.fm/episode/ovaRt9JwD3cTMWt1tDzO

Jfc, Coinbase Commerce has managed to make paying with Bitcoin even worse than fiat

What's stopping a bank creating a special account with infinite fiat and just keeping the totals off book?

Was Elon's climate change warnings circa 2017 basically all just a grift to sell more Teslas? Not that I disagree with his current pragmatic stance, but the previous rhetoric seems to be an example of corporate lip service to a cause they think plebs care about as a way to boost marketing.

Never be embarrassed in public. No matter what you do, there's a worse image or video of you being annotated by an AI company somewhere.

Fascinating to see a lot of tech people being won over by the Trump admin just because they're more "pro innovation" on AI. Money & power often seem to outrank principles.

Have tried sms4sats.com so many times and never successfully received an SMS :/

This is really cool. I often check polymarket, but the whole complicated shitcoin thing is off-putting. Was able to easily place a bunch of bets here after signing in with lightning and giving a cashu lightning address - all with a few minutes. https://beta.predyx.com/
