Remember NFTs? One of their main use cases rn is in approval phishing scams. A fake NFT pops up in a target's wallet with some kind of call to action (fear or greed based). This leads them towards signing a malicious contract. Click approve and their 'crypto' goes bye bye. https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/approval-phishing-cryptocurrency-scams-2023/

Property valuations in freefall Last November I shared a post referencing a 2-bed flat on the market in central London. The asking price was £1.4m, spotted today it's been revised down to £1.25m (-11%) In Bitcoin terms, the asking price was 47.1 BTC, today 27.8 BTC (-41%)

How did we end up with committees attempting to centrally plan the price of capital? Future generations will look back in disbelief.

Touching grass in the South Downs this weekend. Some beautiful spots in blighty when the sun comes out.

Spotted a clip from the documentary "Four Horsemen" on the timeline today. I remember watching it as an undergrad student almost 10 years ago, very formative looking back. "Human beings go mad in crowds and come to their senses slowly and individually. History is littered with examples of people who threw off the yoke of oppression to adopt radical change, only to end up with popular new rules that maintain the status quo. To really understand something is to be liberated from it. Dedicating oneself to a great cause, taking responsibility, and gaining self-knowledge is the essence of being human. A predatory capitalist's truest enemy, and humanity's greatest ally, is the self-educated individual who has read, understood, delays their gratification, and walks around with their eyes wide open." The full doc is still available on YouTube and well worth a watch .

Just saw a rare BTCGBP order flash up on bisq, ask ~2% below spot price. Too slow to hit it 😅 more people in the market these days...

Cheap currencies are the root cause of the UK's property bubble. Relatively scarce compared to currency, property has become the world's largest store of wealth ($330T). As a superior store of value, #Bitcoin will be more disruptive than new tax policy.

Neat framework for understanding "The Sovereign Individual" themes over the next decade. Acquire (greed), Defend (fear), Bond (belonging), Learn (curiosity), Feel (escape) cc @ck

Created another BTC HPI test but with 1 year and 4 year comparison.

Are threads on #nostr a thing?

Sad to hear about Bottlepay ☠️ It was a slick app for Brits 🇬🇧

Have Fun Staying Poor is a strong meme. Coined by the crypto bros, appropriated by a fiat economist 🤣

Looking forward to the doc that gets made about FTX

Saw that Fedi has raised $20+ million in VC. Looks slick but where does the revenue come from with their community custody app / wallet?
