What a run. 🧡 37 shows. 37 sats. @ck

The happy-go-lucky theme music in the intro clip while Luke warns “We are at the precipice of a debt spiral in the United States of America” is hilarious 😂 Happy Saturday, everyone.

It’s funny how sometimes, when you’re stuck in a rough patch, and nothing is going right, with no help in sight, something comes completely out of left field to surprise you and brighten your day. Today was one of those days. Goodnight Nostr.

Last year, @balajis posted an interesting thesis drawing a connection between the post-2008 money printing and relative enrichment of Dem congressional districts. A clear example of the Cantillon effect in action. Bitcoin's recent emergence in the US political spotlight is initially being embraced by the right and hesitation (or outright hostility) on the left. If this trend continues and a clear separation becomes entrenched, could this translate into the inverse effect? I suspect over the next decade or two, those on the right would be (on balance) more likely to save in Bitcoin, benefitting from its appreciation and returning wealth to those who adopt it. Thoughts?

Minding my business today... turned the corner, and saw one of these up close driving around the neighborhood today. That was something.

I like the coin a bit more every day.

Just spent way too long, deep in the bowels of the NYT comments section of Krugman's latest piece that included bitcoin. It's really something to behold, the degree to which that space resembles an overgrown monocrop. Zero diversity of opinion, no balanced views, zero positive or even neutral comments about bitcoin. Love you all, here on nostr. 🫂

It's late July 2024, and Paul Krugman has blessed us with another scintillating piece of analysis: The transistor was invented in 1947. I suppose we should have closed up shop on that lost cause by 1962.

+1 nostr. Here, this wouldn't even be a debatable point, since you can't delete your posts (notes). nostr ftw. errors immortalized. 💪

NYT article covering the DJT and RFK appearances at Bitcoin 2024 conveniently forgets to even mention that Dem representatives Ro Khanna and Wiley Nickel were speakers. "I'm going to recognize that Bitcoin is for human rights. Bitcoin is about freedom." - Ro Khanna Too much of an inconvenient truth for the NYT?

US-based TV coverage of the Olympics has been circling the drain for the past few decades. It's gone from tolerable to barely tolerable, to outright annoying, with a collage of personal-interest stories and gushing commentary that's so insanely cringe. Maybe it's just a uniquely American thing to want to manufacture some patriotism through the lens of the individual's story. Instead of letting the competition play out and drama speak for itself, it's turned into a series of commentary, stats, rah-rah cheerleading, and over-the-top personal stories. Like, can we just watch an minimally processed feed of a competition without cutting in with a personal sob story about someone's family or when they lost their first tooth? Then they rolled out this feature today... 🤦‍♂️

Six blocks since he was supposed to appear on stage... tick tock...

Here in Argentina, the relative soft-hard currency spectrum is regularly on display. ‘Invest with pesos, capitalize yourself in dollars’

LATAM fútbol ftw. 😂 🇦🇷🇨🇴⚽️

As my wife often reminds me, "the solution to pollution is dilution."

The conviction in this clip.... 😂 "Sorkin: Have you sold any of your Bitcoin? Thiel: Uh... I ... I still hold some... Yeah...I... you know.... There are all these ways... I....I... didn't buy as much as I should have... Um....and....uh... I....I....I...I.... I'm prob-...I...I...I... I'm not sure.. it's gonna... go up that dramatically from here. Sorkin: (gleefully) From here? " Most bullish thing I've seen all week. Wall street and venture capital can't wrap their heads around higher bitcoin. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Death and the Maiden 💀👧 Happy Friday.
