when a nuclear weapon detonates, the first thing you see is the blinding flash traveling at nearly 300,000 km/S but the real devastation comes later, as the blast wave crawls outward at 343 m/s, flattening cities in its path gold is the flash of light bitcoin is the shockwave

I’m sorry; I couldn’t resist

a truly Great friend of mine has just released his first ever video game on Steam - a twist on Solitaire, “Deal with the Devil” he’s a hapless nocoiner (only has some bitcoin because I ate his ear off a few years ago), whose also been down and out on life for reasons I wish I could remedy, but of course cannot at least I can share the link to the game in the hopes some of you enjoy playing Solitaire ☺️🃏 thanks all 🙏 ❤️

#gm, how does one do wills/tax planning/estate planning, that maximally benefits your child, without letting the tax expert know how much bitcoin you hold? …asking for a friend? 😅😬 (and yes - in Canada)

my wife’s boss just asked her to buy on his behalf $10,000 CAD of XRP ETF

had I waited for blood in the streets and deployed my $21,000 CAD from the HELOC in one lump sum instead of spreading the purchases out over the last month, I’d have ~210,000 more sats sometimes doing the math helps manage the seething sensations of sheer cope on days like today

On his sixteenth birthday the boy gets a horse as a present. All of the people in the village say, “Oh, how wonderful!” The Zen master says, “We’ll see.” One day, the boy is riding and gets thrown off the horse and hurts his leg. He’s no longer able to walk, so all of the villagers say, “How terrible!” The Zen master says, “We’ll see.” Some time passes and the village goes to war. All of the other young men get sent off to fight, but this boy can’t fight because his leg is messed up. All of the villagers say, “How wonderful!” …and the Zen master says, “We’ll see.”

I don’t know how much the Core vs. Knots debate/argument/shit-flinging has spilled over into #thenostr, but shit’s getting weird over on X

in the 1997 movie Contact, Jodie Foster’s character endures immense vibrations in the capsule due to the presence of the seat the seat was never designed to be there, but humans decided they knew better than the interstellar super intelligence = hubris. Knots poses a far greater existential threat to bitcoin than Core I can’t suppose what should/should not be included in a valid TX; no-one should bitcoin cannot be anti-fragile if people dictate its policies; bitcoin does not need a seat
