Last proof of reserves on Kraken was 30-11-2023. Might be time to do one again...

A lot of bitcoiners are positive about USDT but negative about ethereum. I don't really get that considering this chart: Might be dumb to think it's weird, but I legit don't get it.

An random speculation post: there is so much doomposting on #ethereum right now (rightfully so), that the price will probably bounce (ETH/BTC pair) soon before continuating it's downtrend.

Mixtral AI giving some ideas to make Nostr relays more resislient (no clue if they actually work). 1. Implementing a system of transaction fees, as mentioned in my previous response, could help to deter bots by increasing the cost of using the network. 2. Requiring users to prove their humanness through a captcha or other verification mechanism could also help to prevent bots from joining the network. 3. Implementing a system of micropayments for messages could further discourage bots, as they would need to pay a small fee for each message they send. This could be set at a low enough rate (e.g. 1 satoshi per message) that it is not a significant burden for human users, but is still a deterrent for bots. 4. Implementing a system of rate limits, in which users are limited in the number of messages they can send or receive in a given time period, could also help to prevent bots from overwhelming the network

Will Coinbase be solvent during a huge market downturn? With other words: is the whole BlackRock-Coinbase thingy 1:1 liquid?

I'm no economist, but rate cuts to keep inflation going (instead of letting the economy correct on it's own) feels counterintuative. The balloon must keep inflating... Undermining fiat money is a duty.

Europe seems to be disintegrating (nation wise). Divide and conquer really works there (and foreign countries know that). Cultural differences are still to large and citizens feel nothing for EU power over nation states. Only way is to mix up all kinds of demographics, make English the European language and weaken the nationalistic culture. That process was pretty far but now people have had enough. Decentralisation has started again and nations are increasingly undermining EU power. History rhymes.

A random rule I set for myself: Everytime I want to buy something stupid which is not necessary to own, I have to buy the equivalent amount of sats.

Shorters were absolutely murdered in the last year.
