I don’t care even a little bit about adoption and I want the commies and their enablers bankrupted. These schemes will never work because commies are fundamentally opposed to private property. The entire religion is based on the idea that all their problems would be solved if there was no private property. It’s much easier to steal the wealth of others than to take responsibility for your own failures to become useful enough to society to earn your own wealth.

Another thing I can’t help wonder as I watch Blinken befuddled on the Sunday morning propaganda tour: was his trip to China influenced by the West believing they were in the middle of orchestrating a coup in Russia that would end the war in Ukraine? It’s going to be fascinating to see just how far this potential intelligence failure might have gone.

If Wagner rolls in to Kyiv in a few weeks it’s going to wild to watch the neocons try to make sense of that.

Communism is the second oldest mistake in the book. It is the religion of envy and the reason communists will never be bitcoiners. They will either learn the error of their ways and give up their communist fantasies or they will eventually try to kill you for your bitcoin. There is no other option. The story of Cain and Abel will always be relevant.

They should stop selling all products to and in that county until the case is settled. They won’t do it, but they should. Make these morons live with the consequences of their fossil fuel free utopia today.

Seems like it’s almost guaranteed that the corn that I was forced to keep on Swan for 30 days after ACH deposit was rehypothecated by Prime Trust. This felt like a distinct possibility last fall when Prime started acting sketchy, but the latest news seems to confirm it. The fact that Swan didn’t act with urgency to separate themselves from Prime was the reason I finally quit using them a couple months ago. The 30 day hold on Prime became something I couldn’t abide. The fact that Swan is working with the same 🤡 that set up the Prime Trust Ponzi is a huge fucking 🚩 Anyone who gets rugged by Swan in the future has nobody to blame but themselves. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t care about billionaires in cylinders, octagons, or anywhere else for that matter. 🤷‍♂️

Strike now makes a profit on high priority on chain withdrawals - seems like a 100% markup. That feels more sustainable, if a little excessive. I’ll be curious to test their lower priority withdrawals to see how much of a markup the charge for those. The 1 hour priority looked like it was close to a 100% markup too, but they don’t list the fee rate in a way that makes it easy to compare. I didn’t pay much attention to what they were charging for the lowest priority.

The word she is looking for is normal. But the queer theorists can’t abide that because their entire worldview depends on shattering the concept of normal and turning us all into freaks. It’s Marxism with American characteristics for mental midgets, degenerates, and pedophiles.

If only they knew how many hours he’s spent debating Eddie Bravo over the question of flat earth. And yet, they somehow manage to remain friends even though they vehemently disagree on such a fundamental issue. Amazing what is possible when two men know if it really mattered they’d fight to the death over it and neither one of them give nearly enough shits to die over such silly arguments. That’s the real problem with the pussification of the culture. Men know how to fight without crossing the line. They know the difference between hurt feelings and risking death. They know that if they impose their will via force they are risking their own death even if they are the biggest baddest mother fucker in the room. The biggest baddest mother fucker can’t beat an entire group of men that all decide they don’t like being told what to do or think. The ancient philosophers were right to mix combat sports with intellectual debate.

Narrator: It was definitely not quieter in inscription land. The degens found new ways to amuse themselves and the 18th was the biggest inscription day yet with more than 200K inscriptions written. They have managed to keep their cool this time and they avoided bidding fees to the moon, so that’s good. I should just start expecting them to find new ways to surprise us each time we get close to working off the backlog. 🤷‍♂️ View quoted note →

The self selected experts won’t even deign to debate a presidential candidate on the topic of vaccines, let alone justify themselves to the dirty hoi polloi. That’s why Joe Rogan’s challenge to that ghoulish fucking pharma prostitute took off. It’s interesting that the most hysterical supporters of Hotez on Twitter are the same Neocons who have lied us into every catastrofuck of the last 50 years.

Smoking a pork butt and some good cigars today while having a few drinks. Started with a Padron 1926 40th Anniversary and some nice porters and stouts while the pork cooks. Will have a Davidoff Year of the Rabbit and a glass of my 30th Anniversary Booker’s after I eat.

You thought it was Father’s Day. No, it’s always Meghan’s Day.

Some dude who spends $450K/year wants to hire someone (who likely wouldn’t even make $450K/year) to help him figure out where he spends all that money. He can’t even be bothered to monitor his own accounts on a monthly basis to make a basic budget. Do you think that guy is ever going to take responsibility for holding his own private keys? There are multimillionaires asking financial advisors who don’t even have a fraction of their wealth for permission to retire early. Do you think they will hold their own keys? There will be bitcoin banks. Let’s make sure they are full reserve banks.

I’ve only been paying attention to Lightning node stuff for a month or so, but it seems like LND is just a steaming pile of shit. I wonder if would be nearly as popular if it wasn’t built into a bunch of node in a box distributions. https://twitter.com/nitesh_btc/status/1669827087803338754?s=21

Chinese state owned banks have Fed Master Accounts and a full reserve Bitcoin bank from the state of Wyoming like Custodia can’t get one. It’s insane how corrupt it all is and has been for a very long time. UI/UX ain’t gonna solve that*. * Most people will never self custody under any circumstances because they don’t trust themselves. But if you give them a chance to bank with a full reserve bank, all bets are off.

Reddit threatening to remove mods en masse is par for the course. The mods who believe they own their subreddits are clearly not very bright.

Public displays of willful ignorance are a gift. It’s great to see the same people go off half cocked and spout nonsense with zero understanding of what is actually going on over and over again with each new scenario that pops up. You get to learn exactly who you should flip the BOZO bit on.

Now I want to use @jb55 lnsocket to create a process that listens for me to reply to notes with a syntax like: !zap {amount in sats} {content of zap message} Which submits a zap for me using the appropriate NIPs and Lightning directly. That’s the beauty of building on protocols instead of platforms.
